For this event, being on the west coast was an advantage. I could place an order at 9 p.m. my time. (There's no way I would have stayed up until--or woken up at--midnight to do it. I need my Zzzzzzzzzzzz!)

Even so, of course, some things on my list were sold out. And some I just decided not to order, at least yet.

Here's what I did order.

Paige jeans. So many of my jeans are not quite the fit I want lately (due to some shape changes). It's nice to have at least a few pairs that make me feel really good.

The Lole jacket. I was sorry to hear a few of you found it sold out. But Angie suggests it will probably come back in stock. I ordered a size down from my usual, and in the olive, not black.

Bras and undies. An annual refresh. And mint green? Yes!

Two quilted coats in dark blue. I would only keep one, and certainly don't need even that, but I've been attracted to them for a number of years.

Fresh face cleanser. I like these home-and-away deals. I'll take the smaller one traveling with me next month. This cleanser is particularly nice, because it will take off eye makeup and I also like it for cleansing my whole face. It's the only one I know that does both things to my satisfaction.

Mesh top from AllSaints. I love the color and the neck style. If I could find the right pattern and fabric, I could probably make something like this. But having neither the fabric nor the pattern in hand, it's nice that AllSaints already made it.

Terrycloth robe. I've been wanting to replace one that keeps coming apart at different seams. I'm tired of repairing it.

The Nic and Zoe pullovers I had picked are sold out. No worries.

Now the waiting begins! Items are projected to arrive next week.
