As the weather chills, a lot of us are turning our minds toward our next seasonal “it” bag.
And, of course, “it bag” is often another word for “item we covet but cannot afford.”
Sometimes luck is on our side now, and this weekend at Lord & Taylor, you will score 25%-40% off select designer handbags. One great find is this Zooey Leather Drawstring – normally $268, this weekend $186.99.
Metallics are big this season, but it’s incredibly easy to overdo them and look trashy rather than trendy. A bag is a great way to try them out, and keep things from going …read more

I have a busy day – it involves working and meetings and events in TWO states – all in a six hour period – and thus I shall not have my daily shopping time till later on…but that doesn’t mean that you can’t!
It’s getting chilly out – I had to wear a wool coat last night! So take this opportunity to start looking at fashionable sweaters and boots!

There’s a lot less going on in the world of private sales over the weekend – but that’s not to say there’s not fabulosity in the mist.
(Actually. Scratch that. I DESPISE the word fabulosity. Fabulousness. Thanks.)
Anyway, things I am excited about:
Forte sale – Um, hi. Cashmere. 71% off.
Vera Wang Lavender – Not that I have anything exciting to dress up for that I don’t already have 16 dresses for. But it’s Vera! Rules do not apply. (75% off.)
Technomarine Watches – Because some people wear them. Not me. But nothing against Technomarine – much against watches.
MaxMara – Because when …read more

The only thing better than FREE is being paid to shop.
I just got an email that Rue La La, one of my favorite super-crazy private sale web sites, is having a promotion, now through October 10: If you join, you get a $10 credit. As many of their items are already marked down like 80%, that’s pretty unbelievable.
Join here – and be sure to share all the good deals you find!
