Dresses from Macy's

Today, Macy's lowered their clearance prices by an additional 25%. If you hurry, you can score some great deals. Take a look at this particular dress:

I actually own it (in black), so I can tell you about it in detail. It's made from the lightest jersey imaginable--very flattering. The knot near the chest area emphasizes all the right curves, and the length is absolutely perfect if you like showing off your legs but are over 25 years old. Sooo worth the 47 bucks! I wore it during our formal night on a cruiseship and received many unspoken compliments. So, work it, girl!

I think I'm in love. With the dress above. Note to self: Never write poetry.

But, seriously, just look at this gorgeous creation. You've got the stylish empire waist, the subtly revealing V-neck, the slimming A-line skirt. I usually don't care for a pattern on the dress, but this piece is too cute to disregard. The print is not overwhelming because the flowers are so tiny, and the color scheme is so well-selected. Bravo, BCBG! A designer dress under $100!

I don't know if it's because this model reminds me of Angelina Jolie (I sometimes think certain people look alike when they don't. OK, I often think that), but this dress looks like something she would wear to a party. It's classy yet a bit daring at the same time. Make sure you wear it with a plunge bra! And I love the retro feel to this piece. Very 1950s. All that jazz for about 60 bucks.

Fashionable cookware

Circulon is my favorite cookware brand. It manufactures products that are extremely high quality. So, naturally, when I saw that Amazon's Friday Sale had a Circulon set at 75% off (free shipping!), I had to share it with you. The best aspect of these products is their non-stick surface. They have been sprayed with three coats of Dupont, so that your food won't end up burned. Also, the heat is distributed evenly because the cookware has "hard-anodized exteriors with aluminum core". The set includes all of the essentials one might need in the pots and pans department. Forty-six Amazon reviewers gave it four out of five stars. Therefore, we can conclude that this cookware is almost as good as Trident. What more do you need?

"Rock this shoe"

Nordstrom's sale section is pretty fabulous. One could search deals by percentage of the discount--my favorite two links are 70% off apparel and 70% off shoes (the deals on shoes are not as great as the clothing bargains.) That's precisely where I found the following bargain.

Steven by Steve Madden 'Aurielle' Sandal

Was: $148.95 Now: $43.90 70% OFF

Ladylike yet funky. Absolutely love Steve Madden footwear. Designer look at a poor man's price. Especially, at a huge discount. As Courtney Love says, "I could totally rock this shoe!" Yea, man.

I admit that the prices are still a bit steep for us, cheepskates, but you are getting top notch quality when you buy Nordstrom's merchandise. I have scored plenty of steals at this store. At the risk of sounding like a hypocrate, I sometimes buy clothing that is in the 50% off section. Not as much of a sale but, arguably, a better option. Here's why.

Often, clothing that is deeply discounted sells out quite fast--before it reaches the 70% off section. If you really like something, buy it and check the site in a week or so. Chances are, the item will be discounted even more. Another disadvantage of waiting to buy is the fact that the 70% off section has very limited sizes. When you are purchasing from other sale sections, you have a greater chance of finding your size. So, don't be afraid to pay a bit more upfront.

When you give Nordstrom's customer service a call and tell them that the item you bought a couple of weeks ago is now discounted further, they will promptly credit the difference to your card. I have done that a few times; ended up with a gorgeous blazer and a coctail dress that cost me $16 each. So, have some patience and determination. No one said bargain shopping was easy. The rewards are worth the hassle, though. Plus, don't you love the thrill of getting the best possible deal? More bang for your buck, baby!

Summer steals from JC Penney

Here are some that are worth checking out:

This summer blouse is my favorite item among them. It's a soft lilac shade and has a fashionable empire waist. Don't forget to wear a bra with transparent straps!

Can't beat this deal

Spring and summer are good times to bask in the sun. And to stock up on winter gear. I found a beautiful PINK leather jacket that is on sale at 50% off, and I have a code for an additional 50% off on top of that discount. Sound good?

Now, try to be objective and not roll your eyes when I reveal that the said jacket is from Chadwick's. Just pretend you scored it at Nordstrom's. It could totally pass for an expensive version. It's genuine leather, slim fitted, with nicely shaped pockets. Those who squirm at the sight of anything pink will be happy to hear that the jacket also comes in cream and moss green colors.

Tommy Boy

Amazon is running a huge sale on spring items. Here are a couple that appealed to me:

Tommy Hilfiger Women's Snapped Up Medium Hobo, Grass

List Price: $79.00 Price: $19.89 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25
You Save: $59.11 (75%)

Normally, I stay away fromTommy Hilfiger's merchandise just because his personality (or what I read about him in the press) does not appeal to me. Also, I don't like the huge logos that usually adorn his clothing and accessories. But this purse seems subtle enough. Oh, and I absolutely love the color.

Tommy Hilfiger Women's Charade Ballet Flat

List Price: $64.95 Now: $27.94
You Save: $37.01 (56%)

I don't wear flats because I think that a woman's leg looks much better in heels, but if I did, I'd scoop these up. Put on some jean bermudas, a white top, these red shoes and this gorgeously green purse over your shoulder. Now you look like one of those bony celebrities. Lindsey, is that you?

Second time around (or third)

This post is for those ladies who love vintage clothing. Now, we all know that quality vintage does not come cheap. Most stores on the internet advertise vintage pieces that cost far more than contemporary designer items one would find at Nordstrom. But I did do my homework, as always. I have found a couple of places that offer vintage clothing and accessories at reasonable prices. If you long to have a unique style and don't like showing up at a party in the same outfit as the next girl, browsing these sites might be worth your time.



Here are some contenders for purchase from The Culture Vultures:


BROCADE DRESS $12.00
Very Jackie O. I would definitely shorten this one, though. And add a nice thin belt to the finishing touches. Wear with a bead necklace.

VINTAGE HANDBAG OF FLORAL TAPESTRY $25.00

A perfect purse to go with a black coctail dress. Don't forget the stilettos.

King Poodle carries even less expensive (never cheap!) items. Nothing in the store is over $12.

These are some pieces that appealed to me:

1980s Women's Dress $12

Polyester is not for me, but if you like to sweat, the design is cute.

1960s Naturalizer shoes $10

Hey, if you are size 9, these seem to be in good shape (After 40+ years!) And they go with the polyester dress.

You've got a whole outfit for under $25. Can't beat that.

Esprit is a hip clothing retailer that dominates the market in Europe. Luckily for us, the shop has a great website that ships orders to US households for free (providing your order is over $30). Right now, they are running a promotion -- all sale items are shipped for free (usually they add a shipping surcharge on clearanced merchandise.) I found two sale items that are very much in style right now.

1. Cropped jacket Was $99 Now $29.99

2. Bermuda pant Was $59 Now $29.99

Returns are free, so don't be afraid to order the same item in a couple of different sizes if you are not sure about the fit. From personal experience, European clothing is usually sized smaller than American.

Technology to the resque

Picture this scenario. You are in Best Buy. You found a great MP3 player; it’s on sale; you are tempted. A thought pops into your head. “Is it really the best buy or am I being scammed by deceptive advertising?” You put the MP3 player back and walk away. “I’ll come back after I research the prices on the internet,” you think. When you get home, you check out Pricegrabber and Bizrate only to discover that it really was a good price for that player. Now, you either have to drive back to the store (think about the gas prices) or pay shipping. Hmmm… You decide to postpone buying anything until you find an even better deal and listen to the crappy gym music for the rest of the month.

Necessary Accessory

I just had to tell you about this purse. It's absolutely gorgeous! Normally, I shy away from any design that is excessively floral or too colorful. I prefer the understated and subtle. However, as soon as I stumbled upon this beautiful accessory, I was in love. What draws me to the bag are the intricately woven handles. And the flowers that decorate it are not cutesy; they actually look sort of funky.

List Price: $58.00 Price: $32.99 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping.

To pull off such a bold design, make sure you are wearing a solid color dress. Otherwise, the flowers will become too overwhelming. You can also carry the purse while sporting a pair of jeans. I love combining high and low styles in my outfits--a fancy accessory with a simple everyday piece of clothing. You don't want to look too dressed up or underdressed. This way, you at least have an element of both extremes in your wardrobe.

She's got legs!

Summer is almost here. What does that mean? Every girl needs to have some pretty dresses, of course!

If you want to look a bit different from the rest, check out Asos, the great UK store I have discovered. It carries a wonderful selection of all things fashionable. And if you click on the American flag in the "Change currency" category, it will show you all the prices in dollars. The shipping is a paltry 5 bucks--pretty low, considering the package is coming from England.

Most important pointer: Do NOT forget to convert sizes:

British size 6-US size 2, B 8-US 4, B 10-US 6, B 12- US 8, B 14-US 10, B 16-US 12

Here are 3 dresses from the sale section (click on the photo) that appealed to me:


1. Off Shoulder Long Sleeve Dress WAS $41.80 NOW $22.80

Asos calls this the Drew Barrymore dress. To me, it channels Marilyn Monroe. Sultry, sexy, tight in all the right places. Buy it for the seductress in you.

2. Swirl Spot Button Dress WAS $47.50 NOW $30.40

This one has a cute geometric pattern in fashionable nautical colors. Very girly and playful.

3. Lipsy Chainmail Dress WAS $66.50 NOW $26.60

This one is my favorite. Love the wrap style, adore the sleeve details and the pencil-skirt look on the bottom. Just the perfect length for a fancy occasion that calls for sophisctication. Now, if I just had somewhere to wear it!

But, seriously. I found a cute bathing suit that would flatter most body types. Oh, and it's under $20! Don't know how much support it would provide if you are above an A-cup, but it looks like you might end up with a bigger bust than the one you had. If that sounds enticing, click here.

Less is More

Don't you love the fashions of stores, such as H&M? I do. I never shop there, though. Why? Simply don't like the quality of their clothes. They appear as if they might fall apart any minute--flimsy design and thin fabric look great only far away. Since you are not a Monet painting, you might want a piece of clothing with a bit more substance. Those who are unwilling to compromise their sense of style, cheer up. You don't have to live on packaged dry noodles to be able to dress well. Buy summer clothes during winter and vice versa. Scout Target and Smartbargains. Or, better yet, check out LaRedoute.

A couple of years ago, I was introduced to this French shop by my sister-in-law (Thanks, Patrycja). It carries extremely cute clothes that are very reasonably priced. Some famous French designers contribute to the store's offerings. Hip, interesting, colorful and practical, LaRedoute's selection is one of the best out there.

Just take a look at these shoes. They've been calling my name for months now. Fashionable, classy, semi-comfortable. What more do you want from pumps? Well, maybe another $15 off the sale price. But, if you think $45 is not too much to spend on your basic black heels, go for it. You definitely have my seal of approval. If you wear size 7.5 (or 8 since there are no half-sizes), can I borrow them sometimes?

Bra Magic

If you, ladies, are looking for a bra that looks great under T-shirts and tight dresses, this is the one. It's not lacy or frilly, but you will look much better in your outfit; nothing will show under the material except smooth curves. Save the adornments for Valentine's Day. This bra is so great that it was featured on a number of morning shows. It has been out of stock on most websites since early February, but it is now back! So, to end the suspense, it is called Olga's Perfect Fit and it is ... perfect.

To sweeten the deal is Kohl's Buy Two, Get One Free Sale. Unlike Freshpair , Kohls does not make you wait to receive your free bra after mailing a coupon. You get the free on with the rest of your order. Nice, huh? What's even better is the 10% off coupon: NEW1524.

I can vouch for the quality of these genuine leather shoes; Seychelles is one of my favorite brands.

Happy, Happy! Joy, Joy!

I know this has nothing to do with fashion, but I just couldn't resist. This post is for those ladies who are going to be treated like queens and served breakfast (however inedible it might be) in bed this Sunday. Yes, I am referring to you, mommies. If your bambinos don't have enough toys piled high in their rooms, you'll love what Toys R Us has in store (or online) for you!

I am talking about their Big Toy Blowout, of course. Hundreds of toys are on clearance; prices are slashed so much that my order of 10 toys was exactly the same cost as the estimated shipping, which was FREE!



Oh, another perk of ordering with Amazon is the added bonus deal. If you buy more than $50 worth of presents for your little torturers, you can add a free toy to your order. Now, if you ask me, it doesn't get any better than this. For your wallet, that is. You will never find such deals in their brick and mortar stores. So, stock up and hide them in your attick among all the unused toys. The more the merrier! ♦DiggIt! ♦Add to del.icio.us ♦Add to Technorati Faves

Speed to Spiegel

Spiegel is another store in the Newport News category. It caters to more conservative women and offers somewhat traditional-looking clothing that is not overly trendy. Similar to Payless (L. Poretzky), Target (I. Mizrahi, Mossimo), JC Penney (N. Miller), H&M (S. McCartney), Spiegel snagged a famous designer to do a line.

Norma Kamali's clothing is not only classic and fashionable, but also figure-flattering and practical. And since we all love not having to iron and looking like a svelte Goddess, the pragmatic nature of the line can only be an advantage.

Have you, girls, checked out the Spiegel website? I much prefer it to the old catalogue. The reason is their fabulous and often-updated clearance section. The best part about it is the user's ability to set a price range and browse all the sale merchandise that falls between the high and the low points. Also, the buyer can distinguish among fashion, accessories and home divisions of the clearance section. Convenient? Yeah.

Here's one item I stumbled across while I was surfing the site:

Misses Belted Shirtdress Now $21.99 (Was $39.00)

While I like the color or, should I say, the absence of color, and the style, I do not think that the pockets on the chest area would be flattering to me (for obvious reasons). Those ladies who have apples rather than oranges would probably look better in a dress of this design.

So, snap up this timeless piece before it's gone. Or, if you are more endowed in other areas (the money department), check out Kamali's clothing. It's more pricey but very versatile.

It's me, Margaret

Good news for all shoeholics: more designer collaboration with budget stores! Fashion Wire Daily reports that Laura Poretzky, the designer of Abaeté, has signed on with Payless to create a line that will be in stores at the beginning of September. While she is only 28, she claims to know what women are looking for, essentially a trendy and well-made product that is "feminine, sensual and simple". If you are wondering what the shoes actually look like, you will have to wait until fall to catch a limpse, but the article does offer a clue. Apparently, they matched Poretzky's collection enough for her to use them in a show, the theme of which was 1920s France. Intriguing, n'est pas?




What's also interesting to me is the fact that Poretzky is half Russian (a fellow Russki) and a graduate of RISD (a fellow Rhode Islander). Man, we have so much in common (don't forget an interest in fashion) that I could be designing that shoe line. Payless, are you there? ♦DiggIt! ♦Add to del.icio.us ♦Add to Technorati Faves
