calvin-kleinI didn’t even realize the huge sale was happening this weekend, but after Ms. Purple told me she bought two pairs of shoes online, I did some research and  it appears Nordstrom’s is giving greater discounts than in previous sales.  I am shopper ready.  I have my items (work wear) I want to buy Calvin Klein Sheath Dress and BCBGeneration Peep Toe Booties (in black) pictured below, a date at the nail shop, and energy drinks to get me through the day.  Check out  shop.nordstrom.com.

Paris recently showed their Fall 2009 Haute Couture shows and hands down Christian Dior was my favorite.  Classic 1940s feel with bright colors and fabulous detailing.  Dior showed breathtaking jackets that were matched with undergarments, and large richly colored (and mostly feathered) hats were matched with equally bright suits made for the woman who is confident and in-charge.  Valentino presented clothes filled with lace and feathers, but the shoes were more memorable than the clothes themselves.  Jean-Paul Gaultier showed many suits I would  place under work wear for the modern CEO, and Armani Prive sent one gorgeous gown after another down the runway.  Major disappointment this season: Elie Saab, an endless number of white dresses, nothing too creative, but no doubt they will be seen on many red carpets.
