What came in the mail: R&P purses

no samples?
When you order from a site (in my case Origins) and you pick your samples do you expect to get them? If you do not do you complain? I did not get my 2 promised samples, they messed up my order and sent it to the wrong address and they may have charged

re dark/red lipstick

re casual footwear
from:Maurey Lancaster Not sure about Uggs--I wanted a pair for awhile, now I've gone off them. I do want to invest in a pair of boots, though. Just which boots is the question, as I don't care for high heels on boots (or any shoe, for that matter)

winter hair
For a fast way to put up my long hair, I usually reach for my hair sticks and secure a bun with them. But in winter, here, there are hats and other headgear, there are scarves, hoods, etc -- hair sticks are just plain inconvenient, and any kind of bun

What I resisted buying today
I have realized that not buying things I see in stores and want makes me feel better about myself. So, today I did not buy a very cute silk/cotton/cashmere blend zip-up cable-knit hoodie sweater by Sweet Romeo, in pale pink with dark pink trim.

FYI: Major Sale @Bergdorf (NYC)
They have tons of stuff on sale. Got a Juicy Couture top for $29! Gonna go back tomorrow a look some more! (Haven't been to the shoe department yet. oye.......)
