Today, Gilt – one of my daily stops for private-sale shopping, is launching Gilt MAN, a site completely dedicated to the men’s categories.
Now, why is this is a good thing? Clearly, our men need help. We will shop for them anyway. This will help us to do so with our favorite labels at better prices. But it’s also guy friendly! It even is written in “guy voice”.But it’s not just guy fashions, it’s all sorts of guy-oriented stuff.
(Check it out, you’ll see what I mean.)
There’s even some special sales going on this week to inaugurate the site, such as Man …read more

In case you missed my posts last week, Betsey Johnson is my all-time favorite designer.
She’s actually the favorite of many, and that’s why I feel it’s my duty to share she’s having a sale!
Right now, if you use coupon code BIGSPEND200, you will get $75 on orders of $200, BIGSPEND300 to save $125 on orders of $300, and BIGSPEND400 to save $200 on orders of $400 or more. That, my friends, is 50%. You also get free shipping on all orders over $200, and there’s tons of stuff already on sale. I am beside myself.
I would go as far …read more

I don’t write about jewelry often…honestly, it’s just too darn depressing. No one has been buying me any, and I feel a little weird buying it for myself.
But maybe, possibly, if it’s on sale…that’s not too bad. Right? Then, it’s sort of like, giving myself a present for being awesome.
And someone has to!
Right now at the super-cute ICE.com, there’s a coupon where you save 20% off all purchases.
Considering this absolutely gorgeous 14.5 caret pink sapphire bracelet at left is only $75, 20% can be a convincer!

This morning, I attended a breakfast for the fabulous Nescafe Dolce Gusto – it’s a premium single-serve coffee maker, but it’s designed to bring a little “haute” coffee to small-space design. Perfect for us fashionista city girls.
I’ll write more about it later – I am a major fan – but I wanted to write here about the inherent message – how the delicacy is in the details. Just as I may not be able to afford to revamp my kitchen, and will instead get one really fabulous piece of equipment for it – like, say, my Dolce Gusto – the …read more

This is super-exciting.
Have you ever been on a road trip and gotten helplessly lost? Did you wish you had a little guidance?
Well, for your holiday road-tripping, Staples has generously agreed to award one reader the absolutely awesome TomTom Go 630 Portable GPS. (It retails for $299, and they will actually be sending you a Staples Gift Card to purchase it with – so you can buy ANYTHING with it…but really, why wouldn’t you want this??)
Let’s face it, getting from point A to point B is not always so easy. In fact, I’ve been known to get lost walking around my …read more

Retail therapy is a really dangerous thing.
It’s almost like food, or alcohol, life feels a little overwhelming, and suddenly we are like…if I have THOSE shoes, or THAT bag, maybe I’ll feel a little better. It’s a coping mechanism, and especially a time that we are all watching our wallets…we have to be careful.
My trick is to give in to my indulgences at the safest place possible – online sample sales. Read on for some to look forward to today!

Halloween is less than two weeks away!
I’m still trying to solidify my plans – I have lots of options this year, and each one leads to a very distinct costume choice. Whatever I choose, though, I don’t want to blow a fortune – and I dont’ have to. We can absolutely have a spooktacular Halloween that is recession-friendly at the same time.
My fabulously brilliant friend, Michelle Madhok, Online Shopping Expert and Founder of SheFinds.com, shared some tips to get great deals this season on Halloween costumes.

Shop through sites that’ll give you cash back
For example, Bank of America recently introduced …read more
