Friends, I’m about to say something somewhat shocking.

Do NOT go shopping tomorrow.

Shoesteal.com

Let me qualify that: Do your shopping from the comfort of your own home, online. And in doing so, avoid the stress of the traffic, the crowds, or the even getting dressed.

And to make it easier, here’s some awesome coupon codes from my favorite stores to get you started:

If you are looking for a new designer handbag, head to Saks Fifth Avenue where you can find bags from top designer brands at discounts up to 60%. One of my favorites is this distressed leather tote from Foley & Corinna.
I love the shape of this bag. It features a detachable shoulder strap, dual top handles and pockets inside and out. At over 15-inches wide, it’s big enough to hold all your stuff but not so big that it will bog you down. This open-top, convertible tote is marked down from $444.00 to just $310.80. It’s just one of the …read more

Something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving: Quite possibly the most amazing sale I’ve ever seen from The Gap.
From now until November 30, in an online only sale, you will save 50% off all women’s and men’s sweaters, as well as fleeces for kids.
FIFTY PERCENT! That’s half off, my friends.
For instance, if you dig this long wool blend cardigan – I’m crazy for the exaggerated collar — you will be able to score it for $39.75! At that price, I’m getting it in several colors…

There’s obviously going to be the normal slew of daily private sales this week – but it’s also the unofficial start of the holiday season. For that reason, alone, expect bigger and better deals – and more reason than ever to rationalize splurging on special pieces.
For instance, ideeli is hosting a special Thanksgiving series between today and 11/29 (Sunday). Check out the info below for just a sampling of what you will find there! (I am faklempt. And not just because I have jet lag and am easily overstimulated.)
Each day will commence a new sale, in all sorts of …read more

As I continue my search for Black Friday and Cyber Monday awesomeness, I find myself perpetually returning to Twitter!
It just makes more sense, for me, rather than scouring the stores, and circulars, to do as much research as I can online – hell, I do most of the actual shopping online anyway!
I’m not alone: Aaccording Deloitte’s annual holiday survey, 3 out of 5 consumers plan to use social media to find big discounts and coupons this holiday season. As Twitter is more popular than ever, it’s not surprising it’s becoming a great way to do a lot more than status …read more

I just posted about some great Thanksgiving special sales going on this week – but that doesn’t mean the usual slew of daily bargains aren’t available at our favorite destinations.
Among the awesomeness you will find on the web today is a Robert Rodriguez clothing boutique at Rue La La. As well as:
IDEELI RED SALE!!! (Some of my favorite words in the English language…you know what this is…it’s when their fabulous designer items are marked down like 90%!)
Nepali by TDM Design scarves
Nadri jewelry
Walter clothing
Jonathan Kelsey
Valentino pret-a-porter
Jewelry by Isharya
Judith Leiber
Qi cashmere
Queen Baby
Cover FX cosmetics

The sales keep on coming!
Look what’s happening at Nine West this Friday:
Beginning at 5am online , the Bonfire, Polen, Husky and Mezmorize styles will be 50% off until 11am. After 11am, the styles will still be 30% off!
Behold how cute they are…how can you NOT be tripping over yourself getting your fix?
Also pretty sweet is the Nine West partnership with St Jude Children’s Research Hospital -  if you donate $1 or more in store or at NineWest.com, you’ll receive a coupon for 20% off your next purchase in January. It’s suddenly more economical to give charity than not to!

As I’m in transit today – hello 19-hour flight! – I scheduled this post to appear. Enjoy! Shop! Don’t feel sorry for me, wallowing away in the sky, breathing in communal germ-infested air.
OK, OK, I am coming off an amazing trip to China. No violins are necessary. Here’s today’s sales! Be sure to check out the evening essentials sale at Ideeli…some of these dresses were BORN for holiday get-togethers, and they are up to 85% off!

It’s been an annual tradition for me and my mom since I was in diapers.
And thus, I’m super-excited to announce it’s that time again: Bloomingdales is having their Big Brown Bag Sale!
Years ago, during one of these sales, I scored my prom dress for under $10. Not even kidding. And it was a stunner. This year, expect fabulous discounts of 30-40% from just about every designer you covet, from now through November 29.
Check out this DKNY pleated ponte dress – it has a straight from the runway feel, and the inverted pleats make it quite flattering. It’s on sale …read more
