Saks Friends & Family Sale is Here!

Yay!  I think the title of this post is pretty self-explanatory (and if it's not, check out the flyer below).  The sale starts today online, and on Thursday (Oct. 20) in stores. It runs through October 23.  Of course you can go to the store now and buy things through its pre-sale.  Twenty percent off most items, 15% off jewelry, but of course there are designer exclusions (and cosmetics are excluded as well).  However, I have to give Saks extra points because unlike Bloomingdale's, Ippolita is NOT excluded.  I think this means I'm finally going to get my bracelets (and stop boring you all with my little obsession)!  Check the flyer below for details.

And (the loooong list of) exclusions:
