Prescription VOGUE for Virus

Waking up this morning at 7am to a sore throat of which I was in total denial over yesterday. I choke for breath as the lump in my throat is practically suffocating me--%&#^@!! This does not a happy Friday make!

All plans for the day get thrown out the window as I succumb to the fact that my body is begging me to surrender to the microorganisms attacking its system. I get out of bed & look in the mirror (yikes!). I conclude that this is going to be a day of rest--in anticipation of reducing recovery time.

Indeed, I am sick. Yet, there are two things that ease my discontent:

1) I have ice cream in the freezer to soothe my throat :)

2) I have an untouched copy of November's issue of Vogue.

Thus, I abandon all the "I'm not sick" b.s. and get into bed with both of my remedies...

Despite feeling ill, however, I am still up for blogging. Hence, there will be a segment today highlighting Web Bargains and Fashion Finds. Cuz what else is a girl to do when she's cooped up inside a 'box in the sky' harboring germs that cause people to avoid you like the plague?

Web Bargains & Fashion Finds

Save with major online retailers at

http://www.retailmenot.com/

This website is fabulous for getting the coupon codes you enter at the 'checkout' page of online retailers. I've acquired a lot of great deals (free shipping, $10 off entire order, etc) by using this site. I've used it for Sephora, Victoria's Secret, Snapfish & more. Some retailers block themselves from the site, but enough others are there to make it worth adding to your favorites tab.

Online Price Comparison Website:

I adore using this site to assure that I have found the most competitive pricing on an item before placing an online order. This was especially helpful when planning my wedding a few months back. I was able to snag my Liz Couture Satin Sandals at a price well beyond what I was going to pay originally.

Shoe Alert!

You don't have to break the bank to indulge in this season's boots. . .

Bakers Shoes online has an amazing selection of fab, affordable shoes & accessories.

Ground shipping is only $5.25 flat rate for you mainlanders--us Hawaii folks have to pay a min. of $21.00/shipment (oh the price we pay to live in paradise!)

I just adore the style below for $99.95 (in charcoal or black)

To be a fashionable woman is to know yourself, know what you represent, and know what works for you. To be "in fashion" could be a disaster on 90 percent of women.
