Staying in.

Saint Louis got super-blasted with a snow storm. It's total nastiness outside... the whole city smells like chemicals because salt can't melt as much snow and ice as there is on the roads.

So, I've been taking it pretty easy the last couple of days. Yesterday, I relaxed and worked on Christmas cards for friends. We made cheesesteak pizza at home. Kaci asked me to help her find a handbag... Twist my arm to make me look at handbags... I'm trying to convince her to get a Botkier. Then again, I am a Botkier fangirl.

For those thinking about getting a handbag from Saks: you can't count on people returning their impulse/gimme buys (You know the type during a sale-- they'll buy as much as they can to prevent others from purchasing, and return the bulk later). Saks has instructed their SAs to not put designer handbag returns back on the selling floor... They are shipping them off to their NYC flagship for a doorbuster on Dec. 26th. The sale will be double-discount and if you are preparing to go, go early and make sure to wear protective padding! Those wilderbeasts are violent!

I've decided that it is impossible to be poorly dressed in New York. New Yorkers get the absolutely best sales... to the point that they are practically giving the merchandise away. New York flagship exclusive sales, sample sales... As if it isn't depressing enough to be stuck in flyover country!

Today, I ventured out into the winter wonderland for lunch and a haircut. It would have been cheaper to get my hair cut on Friday, when I'm getting my roots retouched but my appointment is during my lunch break and I didn't want my hair to take all afternoon.

I love my new hair cut! Seriously... It's still long, but it's got a great edgy shape-- think a longer version of a hybrid between Posh's bob and Debbie Harry's rock n' roll shag. With the platinum color, it is f-u-n.

Right now, I'm just enjoying a Starbucks in bed... Justin's studying for his finals. After dinner, I'll head out to the Tan Co. in Clayton. I think later on, there won't be traffic on Forest Park. I might need to figure out an alternative route with the interstate being closed, because the idea of traffic congestion on Forest Park makes me want to claw my eyes out.

I should probably throw my white Burberry parka in the washing machine. I have a feeling that I will be wearing it all week... should probably make sure it is clean!
