Hello-hello and Happy Friday!
Additional sales are everywhere it seems, many from retailers with a preppy aesthetic, if you will. We start with the Kate Spade Private Sale. A word of caution: when you click on this link or the image below, you will be taken to a page where you need to register. Not to worry, it’s not like filling out an application for the Country Club; one simply must provide a first name, an email address and zip code. That’s it.

Do not wait too long on this one as it ends on the 14th! We thought this puffer vest might offer a high snuggle factor.
Barneys is also having a ‘Private Sale,’

As of this writing there are more than 390 shoe styles on sale just in the shoe department!
At Polo Ralph Lauren the Private Sale is on through Monday, Nov.17….. unless they extend or expand it, which would surprise no one at this point.
And while we adore the Windowpane Plaid Ricky bag, it just seems… well, it feels inappropriate somehow to spend $2400 on a handbag at this point in time.

What do you think? Is TP taking the economy too seriously? Am I wrong on this one?
At Bloomingdale’s there is an additional 30% to 50% off the already-discounted sale merchandise….
Some of it “wear now” merchandise, like this Ralph Lauren Petites “Batya” Cashmere Sweater.

Of course it is also time for the First Call at Neiman Marcus.
Even Bergdorf Goodman is goosing their sale; do not let the “Save as much as 40% Off” fool you. There are *many* items marked down 50%.
We end today with another Argyle Update, this one showcasing the absolutely TDF Electra Holiday Cruiser bicycle at the Gap in their “signature blue argyle pattern.”

It is available in two sizes, Adult and Kids. We can’t imagine how we would react if it were also in pink – we would probably layoff the drivers (heh-heh) and start pedaling around ourselves! (Well, actually, no, I don’t think that is what we would do at all. Not really.)
Today we start a new feature that will pop up every now and again: “Can You Tell It’s Ratings?” as in “oh my gosh sweetie, do you think they are doing this story because it is ratings?” Also known as “sweeps” in our former life, you know what we mean (of course you know what we mean!) ladies, stories that are heavily promoted on local and network news and entertainment programs. Stories that are teased dramatically, breathlessly, that you simply must see, that you cannot miss!
Like this one on ABC….

Or the “Are you a Sex Addict?” quiz on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles.

And let us not forget our personal favorite: “Sharks in Lake Michigan – Tonight at 11!”
We are off to a function in the Big City tonight, major party frockage, so we must run-run-run out the door. Grins and giggles to everyone, and don’t forget to to enter the Great Preppy Giveaway!
