(giggle)<br /> .and I'm rather flattered that you think that way! Greatest compliment to date:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-546096 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:37:46 +0000 Angie 546096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew it was a S&amp;K, Zap!! One of my favourite coat brands :). We have a similar taste thing going I see - we picked up a lot of the same stuff while we were shopping. </p> <p>Glad that you and Mary had fun. How could you not? Two such fab ladies prowling around the Upper East Side sounds glorious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-546034 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:49:43 +0000 Sveta 546034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds fantastic - what a fun day! MaryK, you really scored big time. As Claire I cannot wait to see that Burberry coat on!<br /> Zap, it is good to know that upper east side consignment sores are not for me: can save me some frustration if I ever get to NYC for shopping!:-) Glad you still love your curves because they are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-546026 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:45:24 +0000 MsMaven 546026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! You two look a lot like the chic women I like to stare at when I am in NYC. I try not to be too obvious--but now I wonder if I was actually observing YLF women! So happy you two had a great time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-546018 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:40:40 +0000 Jjsloane 546018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holey moley sounds fantastic. Zap I never do well at high end consignment stores (and I'm twice your size) but I know you are a fabulous companion for shopping and lunch. I imagine it's just fun to be around MaryK and her enthusiasm. Looking forward to the ensuing MaryK fashion show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-546010 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:34:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 546010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zowie MaryK! You did indeed make out like a bandit! Can hardly wait to see the new stuff in action...glad you and Zapotee had a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545983 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:08:03 +0000 CocoLion 545983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing and so does your food. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545967 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:44:32 +0000 Anonymous 545967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a score MaryK! I for one cannot WAIT to see the red Burberry raincoat on you!!!!<br /> I'm glad you both had a nice time. </p> <p>@Zap, I would have been in the same boat as you, not being petite like our little MaryK. I'm sure you had a blast *styling'* her though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545966 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:44:09 +0000 Meredith1953 545966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you both had a blast! I have never been to NYC but someday I do want to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545957 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:25:53 +0000 MsMary 545957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! Best day ever!! Zap is so fun and nice and sweet and good grief -- PATIENT given that my consignment store methodology is to try on everything in the store that could conceivably fit me! She did try on a black and white coat that looked AMAZING on her but decided it didn't quite fit her personality so she left it behind despite my enabling! LOL</p> <p>DS says "hi back," and says he really enjoyed meeting you and having brunch together!</p> <p>I did indeed make out like the proverbial bandit:</p> <p>Black pants and matching blazer for half off minus 15% at Comptoirs Des Cotonniers<br /> Black pussy bow blouse with white butterfly print at same place</p> <p>Beautiful multicolor silk/spandex pussy bow blouse at Consignment Store 1</p> <p>And the mother lode at Consignment Store 2:</p> <p>Red Burberry raincoat<br /> Gray tweed wool and silk blazer<br /> Missoni skirt with tags still on<br /> Escada silk blouse with tags still on<br /> Striped cotton button-front shirt that actually fits over my bosoms</p> <p>Big fun!! I'm wearing one of the blouses to a show tonight!!</p> <p>Thanks again, Zap! I haven't had this much fun since CocoLion and the gals came to town!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545938 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:04:29 +0000 Anonymous 545938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just back home from yet another amazing day. I did not score anything, it turns out that I'm too big (and perhaps too tall) for upper east side consignment stores ( as the ladies dropping the stuff off are generally super petite) but Mary made out like a bandit. I'm telling you!!!!</p> <p>I still love my curves so I left with my self esteem intact! LOL.</p> <p>I'll let Mary disclose the amazing finds!!!</p> <p>Bella - Yes, it is the Zara blazer. It turns out it has a little bit of a fit issue for me - it pulls at the arms when I sit down, but I'll try to see if I can still exchange for a larger size. If not, my daugther has her eyes on it already!</p> <p>Thank you Mary for the invitation and your pleasant company! </p> <p>ETA: and please tell your son that I enjoyed his company as well. You have raised a gentleman Mary. You must be so proud!</p> <p>ETA2: Thank you for the compliments on the coat. It is S&amp;K Angie!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545900 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:20:28 +0000 modgrl 545900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waves to my east coast girls! I may or may not have that red coat on order </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545894 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:15:59 +0000 Debora 545894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how I wish I could be there!

I saw it at YLF meeting last week and absolutely loved it. I don't need another jacket, otherwise, I would jump on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545857 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:35:21 +0000 Anonymous 545857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You two are adorables!

You are required to report back on the shopping of course. Your lunch post makes me hungry (and want a nice big glass of wine) You both look lovely and I know you're having a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545835 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:06:44 +0000 HelenInCanada 545835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancylee - LOL! There was no other way to describe my feeling. I actually made myself laugh as well! Something about girls getting together for good food, shopping, and sightseeing in a great city brings out my happily hyper side! :)</p> <p>Bring on more NYC scenes, ladies! I was telling my DSO last night that I want to go to New York for a weekend this spring - it's only an hour flight from here. We shall see if he'll oblige. He's good at finding the deals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545831 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:58:32 +0000 celia 545831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a true comptoir des cottoniers? wow..<br /> you both look so beautiful.<br /> thank you for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545805 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:24:52 +0000 Sona 545805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm waiting to see your goodies and oh please send leftovers my way !!</p> <p>:)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-zapotee-and-maryk-in-nyc#post-545802 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:23:36 +0000 Lisa 545802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how I wish I did not have to work today!

Big fun! And ZOMG we found an actual brick and mortar Comptoir Des Cotonniers store, where we (okay, me) created quite a stir!</p> <p>Now we are having lunch before another round of consignment shops! ETA us and our lunch! </p>
