A throwback
Here at Deal Diva Nicole headquaters, also known as the messy pod closest the rusted-cootie water fountain, I get a slew of stuff from readers and businesses that want to get their shine-on via our blog.
Often, I'm not quite sure what to make of the stuff. I mean, what does one write about a seamstress that specializes in making matching fur coats for humans and their pets?
But recently I was pleasently surprised when a Newport News catalog was tossed to me. Remember them?
For a while a few years ago, anytime you purchased something from Victoria Secret you'd mysteriously recieve a Newport News catalog in the mail. I used to call it "Nee-Nee" -- Victoria Secret's cheap little sister, but in a good way.
In these economically depressed times it seems Newport News is going stronger than ever and ramping up its style factor a bit to boot. 
Sure it's still got its share of leopard print ankle boots and floor-length denim skirts, but the majority of the stuff in the book is quite cute.
A quick flip through revealed some truly stylish sweater dresses sure to come in handy this Fall and some seriously cool jackets.
But don't take my word for it, go to www.newport-news.com and check it out for yourself. Or better yet, renew that catalog subscrition -- it's free!
"Go Nee-Nee, go Nee-Nee!!"
