'As Flies to Wanton Boys Are we to [Sales]'

I saw these oxfords at Lord & Taylor at the beginning of the Winter season, fondled them, smelled the new leather but resignedly put them back. At $195, they had to be left behind. Fast forward a couple of months and a sick sale (in December for those of you who think I went back on my shopping ban promise) and a price tag of $51 and well, that's why there's blog pics of them now.  Snagged them in black as well.

Thought I'd have some fun with them and pair them with this sheer maxi from Free People, my harness belt and floppy hat.

'I Will Buy With You, Sell With You, Talk With You'

I first saw this coat in Bloomingdale's in early 2011 while on a search for an interesting black winter coat. This Gryphon studded beauty was what caught my eye. Oh yeah, and so did the $665 price tag. I tried it on for fun then put it back on the rack, hearing it calling my name as I walked away.

This November, I saw it on eBay for $149 (Oh, eBay, how I adore you! You've given to me many a gem at fabulous prices).

 Of course I was the winning bid, paying $160!  And it was new with tags...Booyaa!
