I love this time of year!  Not only because of the cooler weather and the holidays but the multitude of sales! There are so many different sales and savings events to take advantage of but one of my favourites has to be Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale event – which is going on well, now!
You’ll save oodles of money on clothing, shoes and accessories for women and kids! This is a wonderful opportunity to save on all your holiday shopping and have enough left over to get a few treats for yourself, too!
I don’t know about you but I’ve my eye on …read more

Holy hipster grab bags! I have always been a bit of a gambler, and also a bit of a bargain hunter. So, when I get a chance to be both at the same time, well, I really couldn’t be happier. Krudmart carries the hottest hipster tees, and when they get down to only one or two of them, they throw them in a grab bag of three which you can have for a paltry thirty bucks.
Now, obviously, I can’t tell you what the tee shirts look like, but that’s the fun of it! I’m guessing they’ll be pretty cool, as …read more

Modcloth is a great place to shop for reasonably priced vintage reproductions and indie labels. They always have something cute that catches my eye. And now they’re instituting “Twelvsies Tuesdays”, a weekly sale where 12 items are 12% off. These are newish items, not older stock, like your usual sale. In other words, things that won’t be on sale if you check back on Wednesday, so I feel like it is my duty to spread the word.
This Tamburitzan vest was inspired by Eastern European folk dancers. It does have a little bit of that yodel-y, Sound of Music sort of …read more

If you’re into sales, I recommend you visit Evans London and their amazing sale section they have going on right now. Knitwear, swimsuits, and lingerie are all marked down, and plenty of stuff can be picked up for under $17. While I picked out this metallic-trimmed white bolero (it’s creative and unusual, a perfect conversation piece for parties!), I also ran into other special items like plaid dresses and tops, costume jewelry, tiered summer skirts, and more for the picking.
The items are a little more limited in terms of selection, but if you find the perfect piece at rock-bottom prices, …read more

I, for one, am totally disgusted by the cost of designer jeans. Mostly because I can’t afford them, but also because, seriously, should a trouser invented to be workwear really run upwards of $200? No. But, I still want my butt to look good, and I bet you do, too. In case you haven’t heard, there is an alternative to the designer denim monopoly, and it’s initials are not U.O. Check it:
In case you haven’t already heard of the denim label Cheap Monday, you’re welcome. They cost max $70, but look like the fancy lines. Only better, because they have …read more

Attention fashionistas, bargain shoppers and shopaholics alike! Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale starts today, July 17th 2009 to August 3rd, 2009!
This is your chance to pick up your new Fall wardrobe, get yourself a fabulous new pair of boots or other shoes, and new Fall handbags and accessories you’ve been drooling over!  This is also a great way to get a head start on your gift shopping for the holidays! Sure it’s only July but it’s never too early to start planning and saving money!

This week, Crabtree & Evelyn just announced it is one of — what, thousands? — of shops to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy within the last few months. I’ve always preferred their body lotions and soaps to Bath & Body’s line and found the news sad and disappointing. And then I visited their website and learned how I could pitch in to help keep them afloat, while stocking up on wonderful products.
As you can imagine, there are some major sales cooking at Crabtree, with select items, including solid perfumes and home fragrances, slashed by up to 75 percent off their …read more

Attention fashionistas and especially my fellow handbag aficionados, Bergdorf Goodman is having a Designer Sale and you can get an extra 25% to 50% off on original prices! Who doesn’t love a sale?
You can get up to 70% off on accessories and ready-t0-wear. I spotted this Valentino Histoire Framed Tote for $1605, originally $2395! Pretty great deal right there. Or if you want to get yourself a Marc Jacobs Totally Turn-Lock Remy Bag it’s only $349, originally $498! Why not treat yourself to a new bag, you deserve it!

This aqua swimsuit features cute ruched hips with brown trim, and I think it’s one of the nicest one-pieces I’ve seen this season. If this swimsuit has piqued your interest, you should probably zip over to Torrid, where it looks like everything in the store is currently being discounted! Swimwear is 50% off, dresses are $20 off, and even scarves are $5 off. For those of us who need to save some money on plus-size picks, this is a good place to go during Memorial Day.
Don’t forget that Torrid isn’t just for teens. If you take a look …read more

Revolve Clothing is one of the first places I look for independent designer clothing. They also have a great selection of some of the more off-kilter corporate labels. In any case, they are having a great sale right now, and I just couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t tell you about it. Check these steals:
This “Acid Reign” vest by Mink Pink makes me want to quit my job and rock out full time. Add a few band buttons and a concert tee and you’re totally good to go. Or throw it on over a floral dress and some feather …read more
