Don't you just love a sale???

After my score at KateSpade.com last week {kiawah kei tote in orange}, you think my luck would have run out! "Not so," says Tory Burch.

Not to be out done, Ms. Burch sent me this lovely email today:
There are some really great items, but many are "out of stock." Happy shopping!

You had me at "Sale"!

Kate Spade has been a popular topic on Sweet Dreams Preppy lately - from "the" Liz Claiborne dress to the vase that's currently holding my matsumoto asters - I've got KS on the brain and in my inbox. Just received this notice:

Take this necklace for instance...It was originally $155, on sale for $116, plus (or should I say minus) the 40% off discount! I'm in PR, so I can't verify that my math is correct, but I think that brings the cost down to $69.60. Not bad!

This handbag is really adorable and what a steal! Retail $295. On sale for $119, and once you apply the 40% off discount, this bag {kiawah kei - love the name!} is a more than reasonable $71.40!

Happy Shopping!

In bloom!

I am loving these new flowers I found at our local Fresh Market. They are just so intricate! There's so much depth there. The pink isn't coming through on this photo taken on my camera phone...

There were plenty of white ones left over to place in smaller vases in the guest bathroom and bedroom. Here's a view from above:

The flower is a matsumoto aster. I did some research and they are available June through September. The vase life is 5 - 10 days. They're also available in purple, violet, yellow, red, rose, and orange.

Oh, and the vase! Kate Spade for Lenox. It was a wedding gift from my parents' best friends. We didn't register for it, but it's been one of our most used gifts, right along with the everyday china!

Undecided.

What do you think of this dress? I can't seem to make up my mind. I've tried it on and it's flattering. It really is. What I'm concerned with is the fact that it's "a whole lotta look" if you know what I mean.

Would you believe it's Liz Claiborne? I know, I know, it's not the same Liz Claiborne you've come to know and despise over the years. It's a new LC. An LC that's received some TLC from none other than Isaac Mizrahi.

I think Isaac is doing a fantastic job at his new gig. {It doesn't seem to be helping the stock price any...check out this dismal report.}

Maybe I should buy the dress since it would help the economy. Yeah, that's it. It's the right thing to do for the economy...

Oh, and if your nose is still turned up at Liz Claiborne, what if I told you that LC owns Kate Spade. That's right! Our dear Kate sold her company to Liz back in 2006 for a cool $125 million.

Right Hand Ring - Right On!

I just saw this over at Kate Spade and just had to share! Isn't it stunning?!? Love the color, the pattern, and most of all the size. The bigger the better!
