https://community.qvc.com/t5/Fashion/SHOPAHOLICS-ONE-DAY-AT-A-TIME-SUNDAY/m-p/85147#M5452 <P>Good morning, shopping friends! I have the Vicenza Style show on right now but haven't seen anything to grab me. Last night, they had such a great bargain that I picked up several to go in my gift drawer as well as one for myself. Who could pass up the bargain of a gold watch at $3500? I have a gold watch bought years ago and I didn't remotely pay that. Egads!!! Obviously, some can pay that but when I bought mine gold was cheaper and I was working full time.</P> <P>The Ripka TSV ring is boxed up and ready to go back. I loved the setting but the raspberry color did not look anything like it did on TV. It made the ring look cheap; the setting looked like one of those cheap settings in costume jewelry. I read all the reviews and apparently most of the positive reviews came from those who got the blue and white. At that price, if something doesn't wow me out of the box, it goes back.</P> <P>What did I do? Since it was going back, I treated myswelf to a highly rated B Mak crossbody bag in bronze in a style I haven't tried. The bag is on free shipping and five easy pays so it will actually come in less than the Ripka faux pas ring. I don't have a bag in bronze, so if this bag is what the reviews say then I'll be one happy camper.</P> <P>I really should go to the track and walk before it gets hot as I took yesterday off. The problem is that it is so comfortable sitting here.</P> <P>Have a great day! If you shop, shop wisely....and consider your finances when doing so.</P> <P> </P> Sun, 05 Jun 2011 14:33:10 GMT KonaKat 2011-06-05T14:33:10Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Fashion/SHOPAHOLICS-ONE-DAY-AT-A-TIME-SUNDAY/m-p/85147#M5452 <P>Good morning, shopping friends!
