Jeggings – a jeans/leggings hybrid – is a big trend this season, but until yesterday, I had yet to try a pair.
Then, I open up my mailbox and am greeted with Grane Electric Stretch Denim jean-leggings.
Essentially, jeggings are a streamlined skinny jean – and I love them. Then are super-slimming, comfortable, and look great with this season’s trendy high boots.
Ladies, note, this style is Juniors-sized, so play it safe and go up a size when ordering online. (Or just go to the store and try a pair on!)
What do I love even more? I just noticed they are on sale …read more

Are you getting ready to up your wardrobe for winter? If you are, you are probably wondering exactly what is big – and what is the most important wardrobe-additions to make.
I consulted the fabulous Ann Siner, of My Sister’s Closet and realized we concur on a lot of timeless advice: i.e. responsibility is always chic. Two great ways to do this is embracing fabulous sample sale sites like ideeli or Gilt, and finding a few key items to add to your wardrobe. This may be a great new big or fabulous shoes – but it’ll be a statement piece of …read more

If you are on Twitter, you may know we have a tradition of “What are you Wearing” Wednesday – so before I start with today’s sales, I ask: What are you wearing?
(Not said in a pervy voice.)
I am currently wearing a plush Victoria’s Secret bath robe and knee socks…it’s nasty today!
If you are aiming to up your wardrobe to…well, better than that, here’s today’s sales below. Some good ones to watch out for: 100% Pure cosmetics – theirs is the only mascara my mom will wear. Also, the entirely adorable Tart and the super-luxe cashmere Cullen.

This week, I was working on a major project, and was researching winter fashion trends pretty much 24-7. I learned a ton…including about concepts I had never really considered.
Maybe, I realized, when we embark on our winter wardrobe transition, we should also consider what it means for our jewelry collection.
According to Belle Chen, founder of 360Jewels.com, the winter fashion covers most of your body to keep you warm. We know this, but think about it: Many winter tops (like our favorite sweaters and turtlenecks) also cover your neck.
What does this mean besides keeping us warm? A great backdrop for …read more

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

The time comes in every woman’s life where she puts away her funky fashions and starts dressing like a grownup. If you are still wearing the same clothes that you did when you were 19, it’s time for a fashion intervention.
Whether you just graduated from college and got your first new job, or you recently changed careers, you may want to overhaul your wardrobe. Don’t worry if you don’t have the big bucks to spend. Dressing like a grownup doesn’t have to cost a bundle. You just need to shop smart.

As you probably notice, I post daily about my favorite private online sales.
I realized though, many of you may be a little bit squeamish about jumping in and taking advantage of what seem to be incredible deals. So, I consulted Michelle Madhok, an online shopping expert and Editor in Chief of SheFinds.com of one of my fave sites, SheFinds.com. She provided some great tips! (Read on below Michelle’s tips for today’s fabulous sales!)

My favorite part about the cooling weather is getting to wear my sexiest tall boots, and according to Erin Conroy at Brown Shoe, boots are bigger than ever this season.
“Designers are offering boots on every heel height from flat/riding to stacked heels to stilettos, in both leathers and suedes with details like ruching or slouching to add interest. At Via Spiga, heights range from over the knee boots that can be folded over for women who want a below the knee option, to short booties with softly puddled leather around the ankle, so women can express their individual style. …read more
