Tory, Madly, Deeply
So I had sort of sworn off sample sales, but I couldn’t help myself. I had gotten great stuff at the Tory Burch sale last year (and I went on the last day, at that) so I found myself slipping out of the office on a ridiculously busy day to hit the first day of the sale.
And good god almighty, I made out like a bandit. Remember what I said about that bottom category of things you wouldn’t necessarily buy at full price but might feel compelled to get on sale? And these prices were in most cases 50% off the current sale prices at Saks! Yes, dear reader, I did say compelled.
Without further ado, the loot:
- white cotton tank with sequin fish
- ankle tie beaded sandal
- gold macrame flats
- fish-diamond print sundress
- printed tunic with sequin bib
- canvas tote with sequin fish
I think I can safely say that I’m just about stocked up for the beach days of summer. Then again, there was also this white beaded voile tank… and this sequin fish scarf… Ack, I gotta go back!

I got to go on Family & Friends day the afternoon before it opened…you should have seen it. As much as you made out like a bandit, I have to say I did even better (worse?) with the one-of-a-kinds for $25.

All right, I gotta ask - where do you keep this stuff? I’m moving to London in a few weeks, from a huge 3-bedroom condo with large closets to a 2-bedroom whatever, and I’m agonizing along the lines of what to keep and what to dump. I don’t really want to get rid of any of my stuff, so what gives?

Ooh, London — fabulous! I have to say when I lived there I had to get a two bedroom flat so that I’d have room for all my clothes! The small second bedroom made for a fantastic walk-in closet. (Beware, old flats have very bad closets — some have none at all!) But New York isn’t much better. I’m constantly dropping things off to Goodwill to make room for new stuff. I have two closets, a wardrobe and two dressers and even that is barely enough!

So my husband is going there this weekend to scout out the apartment. Number one requirement - air conditioning. Number two - large closets! Have you seen “Matchpoint”? I’m shooting for the building where their loft was - across the river from the Parliament. Where did you live in London?

I lived in Kensington the first year (too touristy and I hated the flat) and then Maida Vale, which I loved. Lots of nice mansion blocks (where I had a flat) but also those white Georgian buildings. Some of them have lovely private gardens too.
But it’s been a long time since I was there. I think all those lofts are new. They definitely looked nice in the movie!

Ooh! Do bring the sequined fish tank on your upcoming journey. (I saw someone wearing it in another color on Memorial Day and was quite envious.)
