Surveying The Damage: Very Happy Un-Birthday Months

I have my sales strategies, I have my loves and I have a home to save for.

I've resolved to compile (and stick to) a list of investment buys that won't age with trends, whims and changes in style. While "the List" has made me more focussed in my purchases, it's also whittled away my resistance when faced with pieces which fit the bill perfectly. Not to mention when they're made of buttery napa, my resolve dissipates even more rapidly...

Thank goodness for fairly deep discounts (40% at Miu Miu & 75% at Ferragamo)! Now excuse me whilst I put my credit card in hibernation until November.
