this doesn’t happen all that often, so even though it’s so temptation-inducing that i actually feel a little guilty sharing with you all, i just can’t resist.

today only, neiman marcus has taken 30% off select pieces from the fall ‘07 collections. the first call sale started yesterday too, but trust me…this is much, much better.

to find the goods, click here, and stay within that link, as it’s invite-only. as usual, the site workings are annoying, and you do have to fish around a little…make sure your selections say “private event” below the pic before you buy – the price will be discounted when you put the item in your basket.

the loot in my basket (that i really, really shouldn’t be buying:

that loeffler randall matilde boot i’ve been coveting all season (and best of all, this one’s a pre-order, so i might be able to pass it off as an after-christmas extravagance).

a really gorgeous m by missoni dress that will be perfect this fall – of course, i’m just ordering it to try it on……really.

any number of diane von furstenberg wrap dresses - the good styles never go on sale, so this is fantastic!
a couple of really gorgeous vince cardigans – vince uses amazing, ultra luxe cashmere, so i always love to catch their designs on sale.

and yes, even the most fabulous of fabulous: manolos at 30% off. told you it was a good day!

i’d shop quick, and buy quicker…half the things in my cart already show as unavailable on the site.

oh, and use code PRIVATE for free slow-boat shipping while you’re at it. happy wednesday!
