Day 43: June Sales Eat My Heart Out. Literally.


June Sales.
Thanks, Armand Diradourian.
I am, don't you worry...

No one prepared me for this. I didn’t think of it,  but why why didn’t someone else? Isn’t it for occasions such as this that I surround myself with clever, forward thinking people?

It’s one thing for Rachel Zoe’s The Zoe Report to blast in my face that Barney New York’s Spring Sale is on (see pics)

Sweet, sweet Marc by Marc Jacobs
How can your 'Lady Lil' only be $99 USD?
Even though her blurb of “Out with the old and in with new gorgeous looks from the designers you love, like Marc Jacobs, Lanvin and Giuseppe Zanotti...all within reach of your manicured fingertips and accompanied by price tags that are up to 40% off!” made me quietly cry into my morning cup of tea today, reality is; shopping there wasn’t going to happen. Even though you can shop online at barneys.com with gasp FREE shipping… But truly, it is another thing all together to not be able to escape the SALE propaganda in my email inbox; the evening news; tv ads; shop signs; billboards and even text blasts! It’s everywhere! And driving me slightly mental!!!!
Ooh Rodarte x Opening Ceremony
How could you make this beautiful
'Reverse Pleated Skirt' and then have
it go on sale for $199 USD?!

The only (and I mean the only) upside to looking on in agony at all the fabulous things on sale is… I’ve become quite fussy. AND I found myself making a savings plan and list of things that I actually will need when the next lot of sale season comes around. I think, um, I think I might be becoming errr… sensible. Weird.
