Someone please post a comment and explain to me why I saw these people lined up outside the Abercrombie & Fitch store on Fifth Avenue in New York City!

Anthony Nak is going out of business.  They have been running an online sale offering 50% to 80% off for some time now.  There are still many great styles left.

Saks Fifth Avenue has changed their “Friends & Family” discount.  I am disappointed that it is lower than in previous years.  Previously, shoppers were given 25% off most merchandise.  Saks is only offering 20% off this year and 10% off cosmetic purchases.
The sale is happening now online.  Use code Friend3 at checkout.  Online exclusions include [...]

I have been travelling to St. Thomas for over 20 years.  My mother convinced me that I really should post a blog about the shopping, because it is worth sharing.
St. Thomas has always been known as a duty free destination meaning that a person can bring $1600.00 (children too!) worth of merchandise back into the [...]

Now is the time to plan for Mother’s Day.  I think these keshi pearl, freshwater pearl and diamond earrings from www.ross-simons.com are fantastic.  They have french backs and are set in 14k gold.  They remind me of designer earrings I saw recently at Gump’s in San Francisco (next time your are in San Francisco, check out [...]
