Oh my damms. And I thought that my four KS purchases were smart. Because I paid $80, $30, $68 and $60 respectively.

What will be my latest splurge ...
Airline tickets to Nashville and St. Louis, the first for a mini-vacation over a Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the second trip to go home and see family.
Gotta love southwest.com specials and since rapid rewards credits are doubled online, I will be one flight away from a free flight anywhere. Hmm. I see New Orleans and then Vegas in my future.
Other than that, I splurged on a Dell computer.

Another splurge confession....
I went tanning tonight. I had bought over 200 minutes sometime last fall. Well since I wasn't LIVING HERE, I forgot all about them. So I go with my sister to the tanning beds and find out they expire TOMORROW...I have like 138 min. left!
So, I bought 250 minutes, the tanning goggles and some lotion...another $79.00 splurge

The first KS was found at the Nordstrom Rack. When you get to Riverside, even though it will be a long ride, I would check the Racks in Woodland Hills or Costa Mesa. They're the most upscale of the bunch.
The second KS was found at Bloomingdale's in Newport Beach. It was a return and the department manager priced it at $80. When I spotted it, it was on a take an extra 50 percent off, plus I had a 20 percent extra coupon.
The third KS came from a jobber, Costa Mesa Designer Outlet. They buy unsold merchandise from Saks, Neimans, Macy's, Bloomingdales, et al. That one was marked down from $90, even though it was past season. I am not a trendoid, so I don't really care. Besides, I love pink. 
The last KS that I paid for came from the Rack in Costa Mesa. A few weeks before, the bag, a wisteria Fe (now discontinued) was $111 in the main store. In the Rack, it was $60.
This doesn't even count the KS for Lilly Pulitzer huge tote I got as a gift.

Gurl, I loves me some Coach bags. I recently got one of my friends hooked on them. The people at the flagship store in New York (57th Street and Madison Avenue) always remember our (my fiance and I) faces whenever we walk up in there. I kinda like the Hamptons Carryall - maybe my next Coach purchase - LOL! Gotta start rubbing my pennies together. I also have to save money for a Fendi bag? Does anyone know where I can get one (authentic please, no knock-offs!) for less than retail price?

Authentic Fendi, although the selection's limited and tends to be classic logo, can be found at some Loehmann's. I've also seen a handful of baguettes at Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue. I swear, I'm not on Off Fifth's payroll despite my obvious enjoyment of the store.

There is a site own by the parent company that sells their bags at a discount price. I think its www.eluxury.com.
Steel Trap, it that the correct address? I recall you mentioning this site a while back.

@Honeykiss
That is the correct site. It has interesting stuff, although I've still not purchased anything yet. I love Michael Kors' designs.

Thanks for the info. I actually prefer the classic logo bags. You and Off Fifth; me and Coach - lol.
Honeykiss1974, thanks for the website! I will definitely check it out and see what goodies Mother can find.
