Stock Ups:Stock up on some PJ's, underwear and bras from Victoria Secrets. I am currently in love with the following three-piece pajama set because I can always use the tank or cardi as part of my every-day outfits.
Furthermore, if you are looking for an even better deal than the semi-annual VS sale, I would hit up one of their outlets (Riverhead or Jersey Gardens). They have weekly specials and this past week they had all panties for $2.00! And if you are not a fan of VS, many department stores have some great lingerie departments and are having huge sales. One of my favorites is Bloomingdales! Look at this adorable Betsy Johnson Robe from Bloomies:

Another favorite to stock up on around this time is splash, shower gel and body lotion from Bath & Body Works. They have signature body collection classics for $3!! And even better, use the following coupon to take $10 off a $40 purchase!

The last thing you need to stock up on right now is cashmere sweaters! We just missed the extra JCrew sale but the prices are still amazing. The JCrew cashmere sweaters are amazing quality Italian cashmere sweaters. This is one of my favorites and is a classic - more than worth the $100!

Obsessions:Another big obsession right now, and necessity in this cold weather, is hats! A hat can dress up any outfit and can keep you warm in this horrible weather. This one from Lord & Taylor is adorable and an extra 20% off with the code TAKE2.

A more elegant, night-time option is this great jewel-rimmed hat from Kate Spade. Both color options are great (but beware of make-up rubbing off on a light-colored hat!) The hat is on sale for $66 with an extra 25% off and free shipping! I am definitely ordering it, considering I have been eyeing it since before Christmas!

Maybe I am inspired to wear a beret to honor the great Prince (I only wish it came in Raspberry)!
My two current shoe obsessions (finally moving away from the boot obsession) are wedges and clogs. These Coach wedges at Lord and Taylor are absolutely adorable, comfortable and an amazing deal!

The following UGG clogs are very simple and not too high and hopefully as comfortable as the UGG boots (and not a bad price for under $65)!

If you are looking for something with a higher heel (and a touch of faux fur) the following option fro Piperlime.com (free shipping and returns) is great:

2011 New Year's Tip:Also, don't be afraid to get some of your gifts price checked. If you received a gift from someone who likes to pay retail (like my husband) and that item has gone on sale now after the holidays (very likely) most often a store will credit you back the difference on a gift card. This often happens to me with all of my husband's gifts so after I get the price adjustment I have more money to spend (on me)!
