Click to enlarge for detail. I was the lucky +1 to +the Fashion Palate 's VIP invite at Fashion Rocks, hosted by  +Santana Row . We started with a cocktail at Straits and then we were treated to addition cocktails and hor dourves once inside the event space. Fashion and food... Yum! We sat at the end of the runway, giving our Instagram followers a chance to join in on the action. #SorryNotSorry for blowing up your feed!  The show was beautifully presented and the clothing plus accessories were perfectly picked. After the 90 minute catwalk, many of the participating boutiques were offering after parties; Cocktails, cupcakes and discounts. Yours truly, +Franci , and +Hasti. We headed to +TED BAKER first, followed by a mini shopping spree inside 100% Pure and a jaunt to +kate spade new york , where I scored the cutest pair of footie socks. Stay tuned for swatches and reviews... They're coming up later on in the week. And head over to The Fashion Palate to see Fr...

I am one of those soles who can brave a designer outlet mall during a holiday sale extravaganza. It's as if I engage my super power; patience. Once I checked out and reveled in my final score, I was reminded why I waited 20 minutes in queue to enter the Kate Spade outlet in Livermore. I know, it sounds crazy to wait in line to spend money. I was going to the Kate Spade shop for a new piece of jewelry, a necklace specifically when The Fashion Palate alerted me to the discounted flip-flops. Funny thing is, I was actually in the market for new flip-flops but Kate Spade was the last store I would think to look. I am so glad I sought them out. They were reasonably priced - $45 down to $27 - and are so freaking comfortable.

I only went for the Bobb y's.

  My boyfriend, who is on Juicy Couture's email list, sent me a forward from Stanford Shopping Center: Meet Tim Gunn.  Yes, please.  The fashion show is complimentary but you have to spend $150 at Kate Spade NY, Juicy Couture and/or Lucky Brand to meet Mr. Gunn, so I start saving.  I had several days to make my purchase but you know what they say... if it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done. ha!

  This morning there was an announcement of a 1-Day sale at Kate Spade....  This brings me to a little haul video that I just happen to make. Wont you join me and I uncover my treats and treasures procured from the sale section of the Palo Alto local? xoxo •Nancy-Lee Did you order from online or visit a shop? What did you buy?
