Crystal Snake Cuff by Roberto Cavalli $350.00

Shhh...there is a Private Sale at Vivre right now, so you can save 30% off through Sunday November 23rd, 11:59pm EST. Use promotion code PRIVSALE08 at checkout to get the discount. I am particularly enamored by this crystal snake cuff by Roberto Cavalli. "A faceted amethyst-hued crystal stone crowns an ornate silver-plated brass and zinc snake as it curls around your wrist." My mom and dad are both born in the year of the snake and fortune tellers have told them that if they had a third snake in the family, they would become very prosperous. So I thought, in addition to trying to find girlfriends for my brothers that are born in the year of the snake, I could in the meantime try to introduce more snake-like elements into my life? Well, at the very least, this snake cuff is majestic and mysterious. And what can I say? I love purple.

LL Cool J Thermal Henley Top with Skull Print (Was: $38.00, Now: $22.80)

Here's another collaboration among many these days. Sears partnered with rapper/actor LL Cool J (who has 10 platinum albums and two Grammy Awards) to produce an apparel clothing line that hit retail outlets September of this year. The clothing line includes apparel for juniors, kids, and young men, and it is planned for increased distribution for the holidays. Well, the holiday season is upon us, and Sears have started to execute its plans by giving a 40% off sale for the entire LL Cool J clothing line through November 21st.

The truth is, Sears is a struggling retailer that has been put under more pressure in the current economic slowdown crisis. With the collaboration, they hope to reach multicultural shoppers, especially African Americans. Honestly, I'm not sure how these printed t-shirts and tops will fare among the African-Americans, but I can totally see chibi wearing the hoodie and the thermal henley top. He had only recently bought something similar from American Eagles too. There are also jeans and girls' clothing to check out. So make good use of the last day to get 40% off these clothings by LL Cool J! Free Shipping over $75 on all mailable orders 11/17-11/25

Colorful Michael Kors

(Clockwise from Top Left) Bronze Metallic, Silver Metallic, Black Patent, Magenta Patent, Turquoise Patent, and Orange Patent Tote all $198.00

Here's a very basic tote but in colorful colors from Michael by Michael Kors, in case you are in the mood for colorful basic totes. With dimensions at 13 3/10"H x 16"W x 3 1/2"D, you can pretty much stuff everything in the totes, including your laptop. I myself am coveting the gold tote~. If you find the MICHAEL by Michael Kors tote too plain, there is another colorful alternative at a much higher price.

MICHAEL KORS Turquoise Skorpios Shopper $1,295.00

The Skorpios Shopper is ~6.5 times more expensive than the MICHAEL by Michael Kors tote. The braided leather shoulder straps provides a 9" drop so that it's very easy for you to carry this tote by Michael Kors. It also has two very cute side drawstring pockets. Comparatively, the Skorpios Shopper's dimensions are 14'H x 13"W x 6 1/2" D. So which would you chose?

UPDATE:
Michael Kors Skorpios Shopper in grey color is being sold at 50% off at The Grove in LA. It comes up to just under $600!!! They had two in stock when I went there on Friday, Nov 21. It's an amazing deal~, the bag is comfortable to carry and grey is such a versatile color!

For those of you who are unaware, Michael Kors is the more expensive runway brand and MICHAEL by Michael Kors is the more affordable sibling (KORS by Michael Kors is the mid-tier line). The designer, Michael Kors, is the judge on project runway. He started his original line in 1981 and the two lower-end lines in 2004.

From wikipedia:
Michael Kors was awarded the Elle/Cadillac Fashion Award for Excellence in 1995. In addition, he has won two CFDA awards, the most prestigious award in the fashion industry. In 1999, he received the CFDA award for womenswear designer of the year and in 2003, he received the CFDA award for menswear designer of the year.

Key to youth and beauty: Crabtree & Evelyn outlet items on sale!

I nag like a mother, I know. But sometimes men can be so stubborn. I keep telling chibi to moisturize his skin, and yet his feet are cracked and his hands rough. It feels manly, but definitely not well-groomed.

Heed my advice, moisturize yourself! Especially during the winter months, the air is exceptionally dry. Even if you are in a hotter place, you've got to moisturize yourself or your outer skin becomes dry and the underlying layers go out of whack and excrete excessive amounts of oil, which is trapped under the dry (and dead) skin.

You can shop the Online Outlet at Crabtree & Evelyn today for up to 50% off new outlet items, while there are also a number of items are at 75% off!!

Overnight Eye Rejuvenator (Was: $28.00, Now $7.00)

Many people forget to moisturize the areas that needs moisture the most. For example, the skin on the elbow and knee areas do not secret oil themselves so they will be even dryer than the rest of your body. Also, the skin around your eye has smaller pores than the rest of your skin so the molecules in your face lotion might be too big and thus, would not be absorbed the skin in that area. This 0.5 fl oz eye rejuvenator is 75% off its original price and makes for a great gift that helps nourish, firm, and smooth the delicate skin around the eyes. It softens fine lines and helps fade under eye shadows and dark circles.

Avocado Oil Body Lotion (Was: $24.00, Now: $18.00)

This value-size lotion (16.9 fl oz) contains both sweet almond oil and cold-pressed avocado oil, so that it is rich in protein, oil minerals and vitamins A and B. It smells nice, is moisturizing, and absorbed easily. Great for everyday use on normal to dry skin!
