drum roll please…

My purchase! The Coach Hamptons Weekend Patchwork Tote. It wasn’t even in my initial picks, but I saw someone carrying it last night, and I knew this bag was the one.

The best thing about my purchase, with the shipping and tax, I still didn’t have to add on any money to it, as my gift card covered the entire purchase. I even have a few bucks left for my next splurge. Yippee!

I have been scouring over the website trying to figure out which handbag I want. I just can’t decide. Ultimately, I will try to head down to one of the Coach factory stores later this week, and will probably make my selection while there. I really need to feel, open, and play with a new bag, especially when spending a large amount on a hand bag.

Here is what I am looking at so far, and am hoping that these are at the factory stores already:

By looking at these beauties, you must realize my dilemma. And trying to stay as close to the Gift Card budget without having to put too much on my Amex, would be a good thing as well. I am really leaning toward the middle bag or the bottom one.

Any suggestions?

So, just in case anyone from my family reads this, AND I SURE HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS, here is my wish list.

These are like that Eternity Circle Necklace I got last year – but they are earrings! And these diamond beauties are not too expensive at just $132.00 at Ross-Simons.com.

This is a Cross-Body handbag from Coach that I so need for our upcoming Las Vegas trip (hubby told me Friday that he taking me for 3 nights to Vegas for my 40th at the end of the month). These type of bags are perfect for traveling and doing a lot of walking – from plane – to hotel – to casino – to shopping – to casino – to shopping – shopping – shopping!

I have the dress for our one *special night* out in Vegas, I just need the shoes. And these nude sling-backs with the slightest of detailing with the rhinestone buckle would be perfect. And I almost fell over when I saw that these were just $39.79 (normally $135) at endless.com. Oh – wait – take this off the list because I just ordered them!

And for the geek I really am, I so want these – though I don’t need them in the slightest:

This is the newest Sony VAIO All-in-One Desktop computer. With a built in camera at the top, clear, thin design, and wireless keyboard (that folds up!) and mouse and just $1799 – this is a dream!

I so don’t need this, and I would probably never figure this thing out, but I have been gazing at this Palm Treo 750 since it came out. I have been looking at the Blackberry Pearl (which is so pretty in red), but I think this treo with the bigger screen and full keyboard has my number.

Onto the beauty stuff I want! And because my cupboards and beauty closet runneth over from all of the products I already have in my stash, these are just a few of the extra special goodies I really, really NEED to try!

Ceramic Skin Smoother Finishing Serum from N.V. Perricone M.D. – Another makeup primer which I am obsessed with (primer, that is) and I would love to try this one out. For $75 it must be fantastic!

Clarins Line Prevention Starter Collection – The only products I have used form Clarins have been their self-tanning products, which I swear by, so I an really intrigues by this. Line Prevention? So up my alley, and it is such a steal at only $37 for 5 pieces!

Bliss Labs Scrub+Color Hue-It-Yourself Self-Tanning Set – I need this because I probably don’t have enough self-tanners to make it through the summer (though I am pretty close ) and I love, love self-tanners that are in an aerosol device. They are so easy to apply, and the pre-scrub is sure to be amazing.

Do you have anything special on your Mother’s Day list?
