As I mentioned earlier, I am soon to leave on a pretty long trip, and the weather patterns may be a pretty up-and-down situation.
As I’m packing, I’m trying to find a way to adapt my outfits for every potential situation, and I realized this is the optimum opportunity to embrace the art of layering.
When we layer our favorite tops, tanks, sweaters, and jackets, it gives way more versatility to “out of season” pieces – and helps us to be prepared no matter what may happen! And it’s also a great way to be creative, and create totally new looks out …read more

I’m currently somewhere between America and China, and therefore, cannot post today’s sales in a timely matter. For that reason, I”m going to post today’s AND tomorrow’s sales right now…great way for you to arrange your plans for the next 24 hours.
Save some stuff for me in my sizes…by the time I land, a lot of this will be all GONE! (PS: Don’t forget! Today is Part Two of the Rue La La Final Sale event!)

I leave in a few hours for CHINA.
Can barely sit still.
I’m – of course – not done packing. And despite all the advice I dish out, will almost assuredly overpack. I mean, how can I not? I’m going to Macau for God’s sake. Any sort of scenario can occur, and I need to be sure I’m properly accessorized for it.
But I had to take a break from the insanity to share some awesome sales that are going on today. Sales like Kate Spade at ideeli, and a fabulous mixed designer final sale at Rue La La that will see prices …read more

I leave for China tomorrow, and am attempting to pack today. My discovery: I have lots of clothes, but not a lot of what we need.
I think a lot of us fall into the trap of buying mass amounts of similar items (say, in my case, LBDs), and not essential staples, like, good sweaters, or button-down work appropriate tops. And, then, suddenly, you receive an itinerary that reads “smart casual” and you can’t remotely figure out what that even means.
And so, I’m stocking up on the things I really need rather than adhering to a never-ending obsession, and I’m starting …read more

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 am suddenly almost OK with winter coming.

I am in love with my new Cashtastic ruffle scarf and gloves set from Avon – behold the total cuteness!
It’s from their Cashtastic line – which I think is ingenious. Let’s face it, not a lot of us can afford cashmere – but if we can have the look and feel at a fraction of the price, why not?? (The scarf retails for around $15!)

Cashtastic is super luxe, and my gloves and scarf (I got pink, obviously) – come in lots of colors…making me wonder if maybe I should stock up …read more

I love those cozy feelings the holidays bring out!
For instance, it seems all these companies are suddenly including me among their friends and family. Hopefully they’ll remember that come birthday time…
Right now at Chico’s, their F&F event means 20% off all purchases, throughout the site. Use your discount on great fall staples like this lushly luxe Dip Dye Duke Vest.
Just use coupon code 6694 at checkout through Sunday and have fun – visit the family, try on some shoes..
Maybe I’m a little buzzed right now. Back to the pool!

Hola! Happy Friday!
I am a cruise to an…undisclosed location. (It’s a press trip thing. But you can learn more on Twitter!) Of course, all locations have shopping…at least all locations I choose to be, and what would a Friday be with some mindless web-spending?
One of my goals in the coming weeks — mostly due to back to back trips for the holidays – is to exercise, and I’m all over the Zobha yoga wear sale. Yoga is the only fitness my bones can manage, but it’s great for the body, and the soul!
I’m also loving the American Vintage sale at …read more

I am readying to leave for a mini-cruise to celebrate the launch of the new Carnival Dream!
As I’m not exactly…packed…yet, I better get moving, but first, I must share today’s sales!
One of my favorite lines for day-to-day wear is Essentials By ABS, and they are on sale at ideeli today – their prices are great to start out with, so look for crazy bargains in this event.

Pretty flashy things…
There’s something about baubles that’s so decidedly girly, I can’t kick it – but then again, why do I have to?
One of the hottest sales of the day is the delicious Amrita Singh at ideeli – one of her designs is pictured below. Also great sales to look out for – Rich & Skinny jeans – (more info below) – which really do make me look thin! With great jewelry and perfect jeans, what else does a girl need?
Well, there’s something. But I have a feeling that ain’t going to be on any of these sales.
