also got the lancome gift with purchase for mascara and photogenic concealer and picked up my fiance's gucci belt that was at the Gucci store being repaired.

It's from West Elm, on sale for $130 (well, $190 shipped). I saw the matching dining table in one of their stores a while ago and really liked the look and feel of it, so I decided to get the bench for our hallway.
i went to the Eugenia KIm sample sale and finally got a nice hat. I almost got a fedora, but this seemed more classic and more "me."
I went to the last day of the DVF sample sale and got an item that looks similar to this. Mine doesn't have the keyholes on the shoulders. It is a jacket/dress, but just a bit too short for me to wear as a dress. It looks great with jeans and updates the camisole-over-jeans look.
I picked up a green silk dress with flutter (?) sleeves. It is fitted and doesn't make my hip-thigh area look big. I'll take a photo and post it. i also got a black strapless velvet dress. I can't find a picture online. It has a pink silk lining that shows through the dress and comes with a black silk sash. Since all items were samples they were $50 each and 25% off.
Plus, they were literally giving away DVF sunglasses. If you bought one thing you could choose five sunglasses for free. There were loads of styles. I didn't realize it until I got home that I actually had picked up eight pair.
