I'm a Miranda

Location: Coach, Prime Outlet,Orlando, Fl
Fashion Favor: Miranda raised stud earrings
I know I could drive the average person batty when it comes to all things fashion. That is why I thank God for Britt. She maybe Charlotte ala SATC fashion wise. But when it comes to SATC friendships she is Carrie to my Miranda. She is able to tread through my obsessions. Que intro of the Coach Miranda stubs that I talked about on a weekly bases named after my SATC namesake(I would like to think). On our second or was it third 20% coupon from Coach, my beloved Carrie makes the trek out to the two local Coach outlets in hopes of scoring. I recall saying to her per our phone conversation while she was at the first outlet...man, if they get the mirandas...I need em,stat! Also I want em for $30. But I noted that they were still on Coach's website for $58. And the likelihood they would be at either one would be highly illogical. She mentioned that she will bypass the second outlet because she was tired. This was after she told me they had our python turnlock bracelets for $99 when we paid $25 each for our(another talkshow topic). So time passes and my phone rings. Instead of saying hi, I answer with what did you find. I hear...dee, they have em! Have em? In a calm voice, Britt continues they have the mirandas here at an addtional 30% compounded with the 20% via email. I felt like the wind was sucked out of my body. Before I could say hey could you...Britt had them in tow and was headed to checkout with a pair for herself as well. Bring the grand total with tax to 29.22. To quote Luke 6:45 Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If that can work for the earrings, I need to use my powers of good and apply it to my long suffering obsession...the Birkin.

Horse and Carriage

Location:Prime Outlets,Orlando, Fl
Fashion Favor: Coach Bleecker Carriage scarf
My goal was to locate some Coach goodies for mom. She was as hyped as I was entering the Coach outlet. Never a let down in my book. We browse. We mingle. Like posh upper eastsiders. Either Blair(Warner or Waldorf) would be so proud. I try to contain myself but the clearance section was calling my name. I felt it in my bones. Fashion favor lurking. I see a couple of things FF worthy; however, they didn't really pull at my heart strings much less my purse strings. Scarf box!! It never dissappoints. Ole reliable. I noticed on the top shelf the beloved word, "Additional". And did I see what I think I am seeing...50%. ADDITIONAL 50%!!!!! MY EEEEYYYYEEESSS. Had to calm down because I could just be dreaming. So I calmly feel through the scarf box. Found two of the cutest scarves(Bleecker Carriage). 19.99 was the red price. So that would be additional 50% off of 19.99??? I had to ask the SA. Because I refuse to be shamed at the register. Not to say that 20 bucks wasn't worth it but to get it at $10...who would have thought that could ever happen. Certainly not I. But with God, all things are possible. Once I verfied with the SA, that yes indeed it was $10...I felt my legs turn to stone. I refuse to move from that spot. I see my loved ones over yonder. I beckon to them to get to me...STAT! I could not even get the words out of my mouth fast enough. My mom was asking was there another. She ordered me to grab both. They were ours for the taking. At that moment...she had mounted on wings of angels and floated to checkout. I heart when she visits.

Fashion Favor Flashback: July 2008

Location: Premium Outlets,Orlando
Fashion Favor: Coach Python Turnlock bracelet
Soooo I stroll into the Coach Factory Outlet. They have a way of making me feel like Christmas comes early each time I visit. There I was surrounded by the usual glorious goodies found in any fashionista's stocking: wristelets ,scarves,keychains,bracelets. Ah,yeeesssss...the bracelets! Which leads me to the subject of my flashback. That day, I had decided I really didn't need...I wanted. There isn't anything actually wrong with wanting. I just didn't have that need pulling in my gut that generally prompts me to electric slide to the register. On my way out, I decided to give the boxes at the checkout counter an once over. Low and behold...exotic skin catches the corner of my eye: a bracelet wrapped in Python. Doesn't hurt to check the price, right? I mean, seriously, anything is better than the suggested retail price of $178. Just a peek...Is this reality?!? $29.99??? All I could think was help my eyeeesssss and hand over my credit card.
