Some people work to cure cancer, others are fighting the war on poverty. Me? My selfless act is to help people spend money on stuff they need, like clothes and bags and makeup and, of course, killer shoes. But, that's not all. I like to eat. And complain (most specifically about how hard it is to be a mom). Oh, and obsess over the next perfect pair of shoes.

Yes, Neiman Marcus
For years I disparagingly referred to the high-end department store as "Needless Mark-up."
Two times I tentatively wandered into the Scottsdale outpost. I bought one thing — Bobbi Brown lipgloss.
But, now I owe Neiman Marcus a consumer mea culpa. While all these other fancy stores were trying to get my business this holiday season with special offers, only Neiman Marcus consistently offered free shipping and super-duper discounts. Nordstrom never did that. Neither did Bloomie's. Saks did offer free shipping, but its prices are so high that it didn't matter much.
So, I'm a convert to neimanmarcus.com. And, I'm happily awaiting this Patterson J. Kincaid micromodal tank (super soft!!!), which was a whopping 75-percent off. Yay me. Go, Neiman.

Sorry about the above deleted comment! Basically I wanted to say that I like the Neiman Marcus site. I also like your blog.
no worries. kind of you to repost again...technology befuddles me almost as much - actually probably more - than scissors vex you.;)
Haha!
if you sign up for the NM email blasts, they have fire sales. They had a 50 percent of Marc Jacobs, D&G sale in November, and I snagged a new purse. And it's not old stock, it was the fall season stuff!
Yup, I get those e-mail blasts. Prices are good on a lot of stuff, but I'm always amazed when it's still a crazy high-ticket item — more than $1,000 — and people SNAP IT UP. Recession? What recession?
