Thinking about friends and family makes my heart feel like a
marshmallow. I miss them so much- living 3000 miles away from home does that to
you.
But wait!! Did I digress before even starting with what I
had on my mind? Classic!!
Let’s try this again!!
I want to talk confess about my “Friends and Family” event
problem. The friends and family that I am referring to is the annual sale at
Saks Fifth Avenue. (My favorite departmental store …!)The Saks friends and
family event is that event of the year where most of the stuff is 25% off !Its
not one of those flash sales events where things get sold out if you blink,
however, the popular sizes definitely are pulled away from beneath your eyes. I
literally live this day...its marked way in advance on my calendar and there
are no social events planned for the night before.
I love brands – no secrets there, but what I also love – is
a great deal (who doesn't ? )
The online sales begin at midnight – so that’s when I retire
early for the day, cozy up in my bed and start filling my shopping cart. Think
that’s crazy? Well – the hubs does it as well.
Picture this … its 10pm …2 hrs. before the most awaited day of the year. The hubs and I are in bed, furiously filling our shopping carts, there’s too much pressure ...the clock is ticking… so much to buy, so little time.

And then its time – for the grand finale of the show. The
main hero – the credit card comes out, takes a bow and goes back into its cove with
a sense of great achievement.
This year, between the hubs and I, it was around
6 big boxes.
A lot is still
getting shipped. Some of the stuff is pre-order collection . While we wait
anxiously for my passionate hard work to make it to my closet, I am already
counting the days for the next event J
