Are you piling everyone up into the car?  Do not forget to head over to a Neiman Marcus or a Neiman Marcus Last Call location near you as well. Last Call should always be on your list (as should Off 5^th) for Luxury items. You can always find some great items there. This Friday though, you should really be able to score some great deals.

If I were going to go anywhere this weekend, I would make Last Call my first stop because at several locations they are going absolutely crazy with their Midnight Madness.  Between 12am and 8am you will receive an additional 25% off your purchase in addition to the already reduced Thanksgiving sales (that’s up to 65% off Last Calls regular prices). And click here to see where you can score all these fabulous Last Call Savings (most are at Outlet Malls)

In addition to the Last Call savings,  regular Neiman Marcus locations will be offering $50 Gift Card if you spend $100 dollars or more. So, get your American Express cards out, ladies and get Neiman’s! Details for that special Black Friday extravaganza are here.

How freaking exciting is this? If only I could afford to spend all that money….

Don’t Forget Neiman’s on Black Friday!

Holy Gold Monster, look at that outfit! This isn’t a bad look on her at all. Rihanna is always able to rock these types of looks. And look at those shoes. These shoes are Christian Louboutin (red soles straight to my heart) and I haven’t been able to pin down where exactly we can pick them up, but they sure look like a combination of the Christian Louboutin for Rodarte Spiked heels (from early 2008) and these Gold Robot 120 Ankle Boots that you can pick up at Net-A-Porter for $1,295. So, if you’re a Rihanna fan, hurry to Net-A-Porter and get some strappy ankle boots to channel this R Rated look!

The orange was a huge miss and the fit is off. Dear readers, please follow this as a rule from now on: if you are going to wear a narrow pant suit, please wear it right. That includes it being tailored to your size. I want to jump through the computer screen and squeeze this outfit to fit her!

I think that if Ashley was going to wear a narrow suit then she should have gone with something more like this McQ by Alexander McQueen narrow pleated pant that is at Neiman Marcus. I don’t know how easily she could have run in to get these pants, but, you can definitely get these pants for $265. And pairing those pants with a nice cropped jacket would have made the outfit even better.

Ashley Greene….Seriously?

And get this, much like us, regular shoppers, Brit was shopping on the sale rack. Now, don’t read too much in to it (next week we’ll see headlines of Britney Spears broke! She’s shopping the sale rack! And we’ll trace all back to this post….dum dum dum!). But, I do enjoy seeing celebrities shopping sales, it just shows all of us that it is okay to buy this season (maybe even a season late), off the rack, and on sale. Speaking of sales, the biggest sale season of the year is coming up, shoppers, Black Friday! Let’s hope Miss Spears is just getting a head start on the shopping by stopping at this Review store.

If you’re trying to channel the Holiday season via one of those traveling celebrities then you may need to pick up one of my Spring picks, this Tory Burch Jaden Satchel in a great fuchsia color. Tory has stepped away from the studded rock star look that over powered many of her handbags this past season and went back to a more classic understated style with this one. It has signature Tory Burch gold toned hardware with two handles with a zip top (to hide all those celebrity secrets!). It measures 14” wide by 10” inches high by 6” inches deep with a 6” inch handle drop.

One of the main reasons I love animal prints during the colder months of the year is because I have an excuse to wear animal print boots! And now that ankle boots are all the rage I can wear both together. I adore these Stuart Weitzman Pipe Cover Up Pumps in a zebra print for all these reasons. And the four inch heel is even more impressive on! They would look great with a little black dress and some leggings or even pump up the volume of that dreary day to day office look by pairing your black pants with these boots. You can never go wrong with a punch of animal print.  You can pick them up at ShopBop for $340.

But, don’t go too over board. And for sure, do not pair these with several other animal prints like this Rebecca Taylor Don’t Cheetah Me Jacket. Mixing and matching can be a good thing, just not when it comes to too many animal prints. Stick to one ladies!

Zebra Print Ankle Boots by Stuart Weitzman

Piperlime

Look at this Double Breasted Tux Jacket made by Monrow that you can pick up at Piperlime. It it long and comfy with two buttons at the bottom with a tuxedo fit. It’s a bit boxy (a la the late 1980s). It’s a great length to wear with leggings or turn that stuffy LBD into something more relaxed by throwing a white version of this sweater over it. The jacket is currently priced at $295. And at Piperlime you can get free shipping (everything matters during this time of the year, right?) And don’t forget that Piperlime is part of the Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic network so you can bundle all that funky expensive stuff from Piperlime with the essentials that are available at those other standbys.

Take a look at this almost dangerous looking “Luca” Faux Fur Leather Jacket ($498). It has a biker edge a la Audrina Patridge with a hint of the faux fur trend.  It’s not all over the place, but just around your neck where the heat escapes. Try it out a few nights and see how you feel with it on; see if your dog or cat want to attack it (one of our dogs actually thought a squirrel was on a friend’s coat one day); and finally see if it keeps you warm. If all three things are clicking then maybe you can move on to these more outrageous Faux Fur Must Have Pieces For the Fall.

And what is more embarrassing in the travel world than picking up someone else’s black luggage thinking it’s yours after a long flight to see a family member? I’m not much a traveler, but when I do travel I have a bright pink bag that cannot be missed on a luggage corral. If you are looking for that “statement” bag that will for sure not get lost in the shuffle of the Holiday season you may want to take a pick up a set of these Heys “Britto” Butterfly luggage. The butterfly patterns are bold and fun. They’re hard so no need to worry about anything falling on them and squishing your good stuff in your bags. The dimensions for the whole set include:

• 30″T Wheeled upright, 20″W x 11.5″D (for $350)
• 20″T Wheeled upright, 14.75″W x 8.5″D (for $250)
• 24″T Wheeled upright, 18″W x 10.5″D (for $300)
• Beauty case, 12″W x 5.25″D x 9″T (for $200)

I’m all about bright, fun, and exciting travel accessories so I’m stoked about these bags. So is Travel + Leisure, the bags were mentioned in their 2009 December Gift Guide.
