YUMMommy: Neiman Marcus

So as you all know we are house hunting. And let me just say it's no easy task. Either we find a house within our price range and it doesn't have the space we need or we find a house with the space we need but out of our price range. However, we determined to locate the perfect home and have started working with a real estate agency as well as a first time home buyer program. So, I am confident that we will find our dream home very soon.

In the meanwhile, I am getting busy making decorating plans. We don't really have a lot of furniture because we've pretty much lived in apartments and now am living in a duplex. So, of course we will need more items to help fill up space in our new home. Not to mention Moo is transitioning from her baby furniture to Big Girl stuff!! And we are getting all new everything for the master bedroom.

And I'm not going to lie, I have a taste for the finer things in life. However, as a fashion major, I know that I don't have to pay the finer price tag. Shopping online is not only more convient but also you can find some great sales on designer and big name department stuff. And the latest brand I'm obsessed with is Neiman Marcus. I fell in love with them on a trip to New York four ago.

Here are some of the amazing pieces I am looking at adding to my future home and they are under $200!!

Mikasa "Cheers" Champagne Flutes & Wine Glasses (set of four)

Hopefully, you will head on over to Neiman Marcus and see all the lovely items they have on sale. Remember, quality fashions doesn't always have to cost an arm and a leg!

For those of you who don't know, I'm a Fashion Merchandising major. In addition to writing, I love designing, styling and shopping!! In fact, I am the Queen of bargain shopping when it comes to clothes. If you take a look in my closet you might see labels like BCBG, Anne Klein, and Ralph Lauren just to name a few. And lets not get started on all the designer stuff you'll find in Moo's closet.

I've even taken the time to introduce my mom to Tiffany & Co, Guess, Burberry and decorated her neck and ears with $1,000 worth of real pearls. Now, if you've been reading my blog long enough, you'd know that I'm in no shape or form rich. And while you can find these brands in your thrift shops or on eBay, you can also shop prestigious brands like Neiman Marcus themselves. I know I know you're probably saying yea right, but it's true. Online shopping has always been a hobby of mine.

I'm afraid to tell you that you're not really getting the best deals when you shop in the store. See stores sell and price merchandise by demographics (location, consumer makeup, etc). However, their online shopping sites offers their complete line of merchandise and if you can find free shipping codes or buy enough merchandise to qualify for their free shipping offers then your purchase is that much cheaper. So, anyways I was thinking that I wanted to add a few more designer pieces to my wardrobe, Moo's and hubby's. And I've totally fell in love with the Neiman Marcus at our mall.

So, I decided to Facebook their page and visit their website. You won't believe the amazing stuff I found for under $100. Well, I decided to highlight my top ten favorite finds below for you all.
