It's (almost) the Most Wonderful Time of the Year....The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!!!!

Ok, so for those of you who know me, you are already aware of my slight obsession with all things VS, especially their annual fashion show!  The time is near, which means it's also time to start getting ready for my fourth (or fifth, can't remember!) annual Pink Panty Party!  Every year I like to have a group of girlfriends get together for a watching party and panty exchange!  (Vicky S panties only...duh!)  I am so excited to see the return of Adriana Lima this year after giving birth right before the show last year but will miss seeing Heidi Klum, I mean, my dog is named after her for goodness sakes, she was one of the original Angels!  (Tear)  I am looking forward to the future of the Angels though and have been SOOOO happy to see Candice Swanepoel featured so much this year!  I love her and love the fact that she has proved that blondes have still got it!  I like where the future of VS is heading and I am beyond excited for the fashion show this year!  Oh, and for those who do not know yet, the musical guests will be Katy Perry and Akon!  Be sure to check out the website and get all the details about the show, coming Nov. 30!

Girls get ready!  I hope you are excited, cause I sure am!  Time to whip out the Pink Panty Punch recipe!  Yummy! 

Taylor's Trophies!

So I figured that I should probably come up with something that I could post about on a weekly/regular basis and decided that I would give "Taylor's Trophies" a try!  I know you are wondering just what the heck I am talking about with this trophy stuff, but let me explain... In sports, when you win a big game or championship, what do you get?  A trophy!  What do you call a hunter's prize deer mount and in what room does it hang?  Why in the trophy room of course!  Well shopping is my sport and I am a huntress of great deals so I think it's only natural to refer to the purchases/finds I am most proud of as my trophies! Hunting down amazing deals is really a bit of a game or challenge for me and I would like to think it is a game I am winning!  I especially love comparing the original price to the sale price and figuring out just how much I saved, and I am not good at math, but I become a human calculator when it comes to figuring a percentage off!  (It's probably slightly closer to an addition than it should be, but at least I have acknowledged that, and hey, they say that's the first step!)  For now though, without further adieu, I present my first trophy!

Stats:
What: Fabulous, Tailored, Black Dolce and Gabbana Dress
Where: Neiman Marcus Last Call  (If you decide to keep up with this little blog of mine, this is a name you will hearing about A LOT!)
Breakdown:  This little number was originally priced at $1,250, and hit Last Call priced at $437, I had a  30% off coupon and paid with my NM card (save an additional 5%) for a grand total of $249.09 (before taxes)!  $1,000 off = trophy! 
Bonus:  The dress fit me like a glove (yay no alterations) and it's versatility makes it a true closet staple for me!

If you have never been to Neiman's Last Call, you are missing out!  Stay tuned to see more of my trophies, and if you are a bargain huntress, please feel free to share your finds as well!!!
