Marc by Marc Jacobs pink sateen dress on sale

By Andrea Thatcher on March 7th, 2008

Marc Jacobs dress.jpg

I’m on the search for an Easter outfit, so if you’ll be celebrating Easter, Passover, or just the beginning of spring soon, I’ll be bringing you plenty of wardrobe options!

Like this Marc by Marc Jacobs Sabrina sateen double dress, on sale for $195.

I’ll never say no to a Audrey Hepburn reference, especially not when it’s a two-in-one tank and dress combo. It’s always nice to get a little styling assistance from ol’ MJ.

The Twig cashmere dress, $197.40, would be perfect for spring. Just add some bright sandals.

The shopping selection is much improved, with items ranging from $125 to $795.

There’s also a major sale going on right now, like the Harley tote that’s down to $290 from $725.

Bulga Katia bag on Bluefly

By Andrea Thatcher on February 21st, 2008

Bulga%20on%20Bluefly.bmp

If you haven’t checked out the selection of Bulga handbags on Bluefly, you should.

Accessories like this oyster pleated leather ‘Katia’ bag are 40% off.

This one will cost you $439 but we like the muddy white color for all season wear to help stretch your dollar (and wardrobe).

Bargain Pick of the Week: Prada fabric bag

By Andrea Thatcher on January 31st, 2008

Prada%20bag.jpg

This is another one of those bargain picks where the term bargain is relative. This Prada fabric bag is on sale for about half off at $468. The chain handle and details on this bag make it look more expensive than it is, and we like that it’s a brown evening bag instead of a black one. It’s something you might not already have in your closet and a little more distinctive.

Alice + Olivia dress on sale at shopbop

By Andrea Thatcher on January 29th, 2008

Alice%20%2B%20Olivia%20dress.jpg

Browsing the Shopbop sale, as we are wont to do, we came across this Alice + Olivia diamond shift dress on sale for only $89.10 – that’s more than half off! Only a size large is still available, but given the cinched waist, straight fit and designers’ habit for cutting small, we think a medium would fit into this fine. Layer it and you have a professional yet stylish look for work, just be sure to wear tights and flats to keep the mini from being too sexy.

Jovovich-Hawk Nancy Pinstripe Blouse has the bow trend all tied up

By Andrea Thatcher on January 28th, 2008

Jovovich%20Hawk%20blouse.jpg

Since we were raving about Basic Boutique, we decided to do some shopping and came across this blouse from Jovovich-Hawk. The basic white button down gets a dose of style with three-quarter puff sleeves and a bow at the neck – trendy without overdoing it. And it’s currently on sale for $132, down from $264.

Laila Azhar Suspender Jumper helps you suspend judgment on overall styles

By Andrea Thatcher on January 23rd, 2008

Intermix%20dress.jpg

Overalls are clearly out, as we learned on Project Runway this season, as if we didn’t already know. This dress may have an overall-type flair to it, but as the name implies it’s decidedly more jumper or suspenderish. And hey, suspenders recently weathered a brief comeback!

Perhaps we should go into fashion apologetics. While we contemplate this trailblazing career we want you to check out the Laila Azhar suspender jumper on sale at Intermix. It’s down to $109 from $395. That’s a chic boutique dress for a Banana Republic price.

Fendi spy almost half off at Overstock.com

By Andrea Thatcher on January 18th, 2008

Fendi%20spy.jpg

Cheap by no stretch of the imagination, but a bargain maybe. This brown leather beaded Fendi Spy bag is marked down from $2,499 to $1,810.

If you’ve been in the market for a spy or had your eye on this one in particular, then that’s probably a good deal! It’s all relative, after all.

We like that this bag has a rock and roll feel without going all out with studs. The beading is a bit more subtle and really highlights the proportions that make a spy bag a spy bag.

Mara Hoffman dress- half price at shopbop!

By Elaine LaPersonerie on January 16th, 2008

marah2000919123_prod_medium.jpg

You’ve been stashing all your money since the holiday because you went crazy with gifts…totally understandable. But now, sales are starting to look really enticing- so spoil yourself a little more! Couldn’t resist showing off this Mara Hoffman charmeuse dress. Originally at $440 but now a steal at $220– this is a hot little number, wearable now and in the summer. Pair it with leggings in the cold and go bare leg in the summer. The V is sleek and sexy and you can’t put a price tag on that!

Bargain Pick of the Week: Abercrombie & Fitch Candace cap-sleeve shirt

By Andrea Thatcher on January 3rd, 2008

A%26F%20shirt.jpg

A lot of items on the Abercrombie & Fitch Web site are on clearance right now, which means that they’re now at somewhat reasonable prices. But in the case of this Candace short-sleeve shirt, you really are getting a bargain at $9.90. With spring just around the corner, this is a great staple to have in your closet for when the weather warms up. Or wear it now with oh-so-fashionable layers.

Oh Regal t-strap pump 50% off at the Endless Winter Sale

By Andrea Thatcher on December 26th, 2007

Oh%21%20t-strap%20pumps.jpg

These glitzy t-strap pumps claim to have the comfort of an athletic shoe, and we think when they’re on sale for $109.97 is the perfect time to test them out. The fully supported footbed acts as an orthotic so you can make it to midnight and beyond on New Year’s Eve (remember negative $5 overnight shipping). And be sure to check out the rest of the Endless Winter Sale.

Diane von Furstenberg “Elena” Wool Jersey Dress on sale, like everything else

By Andrea Thatcher on December 21st, 2007

DVF%20wool%20dress.jpg

So here’s your weekly sale roundup: everybody’s having a sale. Same-level department stores are all having pretty much the same sale, offering the same deals on shipping until about the same point. So we just thought we’d show you a highlight. This Diane Von Furstenberg dress could be yours for just $127 with a discount applied at checkout. That is an excellent price for a designer wool dress.

L.A.M.B. hoodie on sale for a price it’s almost worth!

By Andrea Thatcher on December 21st, 2007

LAMB%20hoodie.jpg

A lot of the L.A.M.B. stuff is very cute, just maybe not worth $365 … like this cashmere lyrics hoodie. Yes, the cashmere might make you think it’s worth the price, but no, because it’s really 55% cashmere and 45% viscose. Hmmph. But now that it’s on sale for $98 I’m a bit more forgiving. It’s got some Gwen Stefani lyrics on it, so if you find her songs annoying you may want to pass (and say a silent prayer of thanks that she’s finally back in the studio with No Doubt), It’s available now in the Kitson Web-exclusive sale.

Some of the cheapest and chicest dresses of the Net-a-Porter sale

By Andrea Thatcher on December 20th, 2007

Net%20a%20porter%20dress%20sale.jpg

Sure, you could spend $8,584 on the Alexander McQueen feather hem dress that’s 20% off, but to us that’s not a sale price. So we perused the lower end of the dress sale going on now at Net-a-Porter to bring you some affordable gems. The Nanette Lepore Roccoco tank dress, at left, is on sale for $136.50 and would be super easy to layer for winter wear. In the middle we’ve chosen a Diane Von Furstenberg dress – since she’s one of the first names we search for when we see Net-a-Porter’s having a sale. This Elisa lace dress is only $227.50. And at right is a more casual Day Birger et Mikkelsen Venetis tunic dress for $168.
