Prepare Yourselves

As one of the biggest shopping days of the year approaches, Black Friday for all those who don't know, my word to the wise is BE PREPARED! Get out the walking shoes, get together the perfect slip on and off outfit for the purposes of trying items on quickly, and get the plastic/dollar bills ready!


Something tells me that prices will be slashed like never before. Saks already kicked off the "bargins" with their designer sale




As soon as I heard about it, I just couldn't resist and ended up spurging on these boots:



The Ginevra boot by Gucci. They originally retail for $1,390 however do to my quick fingers, I was able to snag them for $416. That's 70% off! $416 is cheap by no means; however, someone as fashion obsessed as I can be just couldn't pass up such as opportunity. I just hope they fit when they arrive *fingers, toes, and eyes crossed*

Since that boot alone may have began and ended by Thanksgiving week shopping, I want to wish all the other shoppers good luck and a Happy, Happy Turkey Day!!

What do you think?

So today, I started seeing some of the shots from Rihanna's debut as Gucci's fresh new face:




I must say I love Rihanna's look in these photos; however, I am not feeling these bags AT ALL, even though they are a part of Gucci's charity campaign to benefit UNICEF. I'm head over heels with the hysteria silhouette, the bag in the 2nd photo, but I can't help but feel like the tattoo print is an upgraded take on Ed Hardy. And the idea of a big white handbag makes me cringe. I'm always down for supporting charity though.




What's the verdict??
