TGIF!!

Hi everyone!

It is officially 2009!!! I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve! It is the year of the Ox!!

Here is what's happening on this gorgeous, sunny Friday:

* A woman in Britan died in her piles of clothes... She is the ultimate shopaholic who died of shopping overdose...

* Neiman Marcus is having additional 50% off sale on already 50% marked price. It is still EXPENSIVE!!! (note: I went and if you have some money to spare, it's worth checking out, but I walked out empty-ended since it was still uber expensive)

* Retailers are struggling despite massive sales.

* Only less than two weeks until the Inauguration!! I heard tickets went on sale today. Did you get yours?

* About 4.5 Earthquake was felt in Southern California yesterday. Ohhh yes, I felt that too.

* Are you a recessionista? Rather than shopping for new items, how about looking into your closet and recycling some old pieces of clothes?

* Finally, I watched Oprah yesterday (since I was sick and bedridden) and Suze Orman was on her show. Go to Oprah.com and you can download Suze Orman's book which is designed to help us straighten our finances for this tough year! I was very inspired.

HAPPY FRIDAY everyone and enjoy your weekend!!
