Wish List: Vol 1 [General]

Last week, my boyfriend began his new job at Saks Fifth Avenue. (Did I neglect to mention that? Well, he now works in Saks Fifth Avenue's Corporate Office in Times Square!) So far, he absolutely LOVES it! And, he's good at it. I'm starting to think that I don't give him enough credit. After all, he has a serious, serious talent for what he does...

Anyways, probably my favorite part of his new job - in addition to his happiness, of course - is his discount!! I don't mean to be super Jewish right now (I AM A JEW, 100%, so I can say that!), but discounts are always nice. That holds true here as well, in a store where shoes cost upwards of thousands of dollars.

So, last Friday when we planned to go to Central Park, but soon realized that the humid Florida weather had followed us to the 'Big Apple', we headed over to 5th Ave. One reason why I absolutely ADORE my boyfriend is because unlike most guys, he loves to shop! In fact, it was his idea to spend the day exploring every floor of the giant Saks flagship. And so, we did.

Once arriving, I was in heaven. And that was only on the first floor- Cosmetics & Fragrances, AKA my future field! We continued up to middle and highest floors, and I realized that Louboutins are far less expensive than I imagined. I also realized that my boyfriend's heavy accent doesn't allow him to hear the difference between 'Louboutin' and 'Louis Vuitton'. SO CUTE!!!

As we finally arrive at the topic of this post, let me mention again that he will have access to thousands of designer pieces at steep discounts, and so, he told me to make a list of what I want [like any good boyfriend should]. So, here's to the first addition of my 'Wish List'!

[This is a short, general list of what first caught my eye, with no particular theme.]

Michael Kors

MICHAEL KORS Lace-Up One Piece Swim Suit ($252)

Louis Vuitton

LOUIS VUITTON Rhodes Open Toe Mule in Nubuck Calf Leather ($1,060)

Christian Louboutin

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Lavalierre Bow Pumps ($795)

Fendi

FENDI Large Peekaboo Satchel ($2690)

So, what do you guys think?! Like my choices, or totally hate them? And, most importantly, what's on YOUR Wish List?

Take A Look Beyond the Rack 2.15.2011

Online Sample sale Website Beyond The Rack Unveils A New set Of Sales Today, Including Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, And An Entire Boutique Dedicated Solely To Shoes!

Today, Beyond The Rack unveiled almost a dozen new sales! There are only a few worth mentioning, but they are beyond incredible! Here they are, along with my top picks:

Shoe Event. This event offers a few brands, but the shoes are up to 80% off! There are studs, sequin, and suede, along with some shoes that are incredibly Gaga-esque- check out the Leonardo Shoe In Red ($14.99)

Dolce & Gabbana. The event offers jewelry, clothing, and handbags, at absolutely crazy discounts! I wasn't thrilled with any handbag in particular, but I have found the next best thing. The Docle & Gabbana Luggage Clip ($69, left). Rather than buying a name-brand purse that you don't love, it's much more fashionably satisfying to buy a purse that you DO love, and then just clip on this adorable keychain!

Fendi. The Fendi boutique sticks solely to sunglasses- not that I mind whatsoever! My pick are the Write Me A Letter Sunglasses in Brown ($99).
