I sell handbags for a retailer who may not be named... Tory Burch is the hot name right now, but I think she’s just the new Kate Spade (no shade, I have plenty of Kate Spade bags). I love Balenciaga, but it’s fashion-y, not work-y. Non-logo Coach is classic and well made. Marc by Marc Jacobs is usually available at…

DYING! Not only did I buy my cousin’s daughter a Tiffany charm tag necklace for her Bat Mitzvah in 2002, my own daughter received several for her Bat Mitzvah in 2015. Since she isn’t interested in jewelry, I returned them and have a tidy store credit for her when she decides she’s ready.

Somewhere in the garage is a Franklin Mint Princess Diana plate issued In Memorium. I have quite a few Diana books, but I bought the plate mostly so I could say that I had bought something from the Franklin Mint. Pretty sure I only made one payment, though.

My kids are 13 and 15 and somehow I’ve not known that we were supposed to have code words to discuss having sex in front of the kids. How about discussing it out of their earshot? That’s always worked for us.

I assumed that that was going to be a series, but I doubt anyone else would let it all hang out like Lu.

I am assuming that it’s being recorded for RHONY, and I will watch with a glass of champagne, as opposed to my usual white wine. I would buy Ramona Pino, but have yet to see it in stores.

As a Real Housewives fan, I’ll simply point out that they exist on TV in Atlanta and NY as well. And in real life, they exist everywhere.

I lived in the East Bay for 5 years and loved it.

That’s my question: if TJ Maxx took the return of fake merchandise, did they then resell it to an unknowing customer? Who thinks they have a real bag and they don’t? Cue the angry customers demanding authentication....

I work in retail. A professional can always tell the difference between a real and a fake. The average person cannot, thus, the reason for fakes. If I read the story correctly, as he was doing her returning at TJ Maxx. They don’t know the real from the fake, so they did the return.

It’s a big down coat. Norma Kamali was inspired by a sleeping bag.

I love Alison Krauss: she truly has the voice of an angel. My husband, however, calls her music “music to kill yourself to”, and he’s kinda right. I vaguely remember a song about brothers freezing to death in the woods while looking for each other, and of course ‘Whiskey Lullaby’ with Brad Paisley.

Oh, Dana-Pam. Those were the days.

Without having read any reviews, I knew this would be a bad movie when Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt shot a ‘interview’ i.e. commercial with Andy Cohen, shown on Bravo. Not an appearance on WWHL, mind you. But a fake interview cut with clips from the movie. I fast forwarded it and felt sorry for all three of them.

You must be from the Chicago suburbs! I currently live in MN, but I’m a Chicagoan born and bred.

I have that castor oil! I’ve got to dig it out of the back of my cabinet... have you noticed any growth? I had been using it on eyebrows/lashes. It’s too thick for my hairline, IMO, even at night.

Please share the name of your CVS find! need it for my hormonally breaking out teens!

I was an assistant manager in cosmetics at a major department sore when Bobbi Brown launched her line. The packaging and pared down ethos was extremely different from every other line out at the time. Some employees actually made fun of it, saying it looked like a private label brand, because it wasn’t fancy enough.

There is a blog I follow called ‘Sorrywatch’ that rates apologies and how they are executed. Can’t wait to read their take on this!

This hat has his Presidential number on the side! So you know it’s a Post Election Victory Hat! Just in time for Christmas giving.
