The good news: Steve Madden is having a MIDDAY MADNESS sale; take an additional 20% off all clearance items. Big savings, shoe addicts!
The bad news: The sale is for one day only - that means you need to get over there TODAY, because if you wait, these savings will be history. So go check it out right now, because whether you’re searching for shoes that are sexyforsummer or fabforfall, Steve’s got you covered. Don’t miss this sale!
J.Crew is having a final sale and they just added new styles to the mix. And with this jersey dress, this cashmere hoodie, and this silk chiffon dress all marked down considerably, I think you know where my credit cards are going to be abused this week. Seriously. I didn’t realize how badly I needed a cashmere hoodie in my life until now.
Why is this site so fantastic? They offer designer sample sales ONLINE. Now, a word about sample sales: Before I lived in NYC, I didn’t know about the beauty of sample sales. I was completely unaware that designers sell their coveted pieces for a fraction of the price because they were used as samples. It makes complete sense, but I was a naive lass when I first moved to the big city. And it wasn’t until I worked at a sweater company that I saw the true frenzy that a sample sale can create. And we were a junior’s sweater company - not a designer name, not a major draw (like Vera Wang or Zac Posen). But you should have seen the way the women clawed at each other to get their sweaters on the cheap! I did some clawing off my own and I’m stocked on sweaters pretty much for life. You should read the Style Spy’s account of sample shopping to get a really good idea of the blood, sweat and tears that can go into getting that perfect designer dud.
Which brings me back to why Gilt is so amazing: They actually have sample sales online from designers like Vera Wang and Zac Posen and Diane Von Furstenberg and Valentino. Sales last 36 hours, what you see is what you get and it’s first come first served. Without the hassle of clawing women and lines that wrap around city blocks! You receive updates about what sales are coming up so you can make sure to log on early and they even have sneak peeks so you can see what to expect from the sale. They have women’s, men’s, children’s and home goods sample sales and you can adjust your profile to receive information on some or all. You have to be a member to shop and you can only become a member by invite. But today is your lucky day: You can get your invite by reading NYMag.com. You’re welcome.
Hot on the heels of the Bourjois makeup sale, Sephora is offering big savings on another fun and girly cosmetics brand: Hard Candy, the company that started the notorious pastel nails trend of the ’90s (remember Sky, the ubiquitous pale blue polish?). Following the example of the candy-colored nail lacquers that made them famous, Hard Candy has since branched out into other areas as well, offering tons of pretty products in unusual shades and cute packaging. If you’re not already a fan, now is the time to check them out and save up to 75% on Sephora’s entire Hard Candy stock.
The adorable Delinquent Mini Nail Kit is only $12.50, and it features 7 of Hard Candy’s iconic polishes (with matching jelly rings!) in colors ranging from silver sparkle to deep violet. The tempting orange blossom-scented Sweet Spot Lip Gloss has been marked down to a mere $5.50. And, of course, huge sales offer the perfect opportunity to pick up a normally expensive multi-piece makeup kit or two: I like the Mix Tape Makeup Palette in Party Mix, which has 3 eye shadows and 3 lip glosses in a cassette-tape-shaped case for just $7.50 and the Take Out Makeup Kit, which features glosses, shadows, eyeliner, mascara, concealer, blush, bronzer and several brushes for only $12.50. Indulge your sweet tooth and take advantage of this tasty sale!
I love multi-purpose things: cleaners that clean mirrors and bathtubs, glue that adheres to cardboard and thin paper, contact solution that cleans and can be used for storage…you get the idea. So when I see a dress that can be worn three completely different ways, taking you through a year’s worth of seasons, I get really excited. And when I see that it’s on sale for only $57 (down from $165), I figure it’s a really good Monday. Which is why I’m glad Cusp is having a major sale and this RN Convertible Draped Jersey Dress came to my attention. Especially because getting back into the swing of things can be hard after a long weekend. Doesn’t a sale just make everything better?
Summer Sales are in full effect in July and right now you can save an additional percentage off online purchases from Gap and Old Navy.

Get 25% off at Gap sale items by enter GAPSALE25 when you checkout through July 6th.
Everything is already way marked down so this is just added incentive. I am most definitely headed to Old Navy today to check out those skimmers on the left. They are only $6.99! Even without the extra 20%, that’s a steal. Happy Fourth of July to me!
Sephora is currently having a clearance sale on Bourjois cosmetics - word on the Internet is that the brand will now be carried by Target, although I have yet to find any official confirmation of the move. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that now is the time to check this brand out; they have lots of fun, colorful products, and the savings are up to 75% off!
My personal favorite is the Shimmer Shine Liquid Eye Shadow, now priced at $11.20. It promises a glossy, metallic "foiled" look - perfect for a night on the town - and it’s available in several alluring shades. I like Gris Platine, a sparkling silver, and Beige Metallique, a glamorous nude.
If you’ve been craving the cute sandals from Ugg that Melissa blogged about, then you’re in luck! They are now on sale at Bloomingdales for $69.99, down from $100. Just in time for the holiday weekend!
And if you’re like me and a fan of flats, Ugg’s adorable Cannes Ankle wrap sandals are now $77, down from $110. Music to my ears…
This Saturday (6/28), Old Navy is having a flip flop sale where all regular flops are $1! You could stock up on every color your little heart desires. Even though flip flops are not good to wear all the time, they are still a summer staple so now is the perfect time to replenish your supply. And! If you happen to be planning a beach wedding anytime soon, a popular gift is to provide flip flops for your guests to slip on at the reception. Now could be the time to buy and check that off your list. Happy Shopping!
Steve Madden is having another one of their crazy sales and this one has me super excited. Why, you ask? Well, the cute heels on the top left are only $19.99, down from $80. The other ones? They are all $13.99, down from $70! Pretty sweet deal. Let the shopping begin! And quickly ’cause, at these prices, I’m sure my size will be gone soon! And today is your last chance to get free shipping on orders over $75! Why are you still here?
More good news for online shoppers: When you buy spend $35 or more at Urban Decay’s website, your reward is this cute set of 5 nail enamels in UD’s trademark edgy shades. Just enter POLISH at checkout. Offer is good through July 22nd.

Starting today through Sunday, they are having a Friends and Family Sale, getting you 20% off! Just enter the code FRIEND8 when you checkout online or print the flyer below and bring it into their stores. Your welcome.

There are some really great deals but be quick - the styles and sizes are limited so you don’t want to wait until the last minute! Happy Shopping!
I’m all about shoes lately. And I got an email this morning from Steve Madden about their current sandal sale and I fell in love with these. The multi-colored straps are bright and fun for summer, the gladiator style is spot-on trendy and the wedge heel let’s these sandals go from day to night with ease. Ooh! And they are on sale for $69.95 (originally $99.95). Thought I’d share the love.
All right, ladies. Rev your engines. Nordstrom is having a June summer clearance sale and some of their best looks are on sale now for 50% off or more. I just looked through the first page of 99 apparel items on sale (there are over 800 markdowns) and I found some great looks to share with you. Every item I have pictured is now under $100 except the ivory gown which is $202 and I think could totally work for a spring/summer outdoor wedding. Could you imagine only spending 200 bucks on your wedding gown?? And now with Nordstrom’s new "Pick up in Store" option, you can order most items online and go pick them up yourself - so you save on shipping and wait time! But if you spend $200 or more, you get free shipping anyway and you could totally do an online splurge with this sale. And I haven’t even started looking at the shoes yet! Happy Shopping!
Check out this site! It’s full of links to pages where you can sign up for tons of beauty freebies. I found offers for free samples of all of the above products, in addition to goodies from MAC, Sephora, Aveda…and that’s just the Makeup/Cosmetics category. Other categories: Hair Care Products, Facial Products, Skin Care & Lotions, and Bath & Body/Soaps & Cleansers. And, yes, everything is free…of course, "terms and conditions" do tend to apply, and sometimes you have to participate in a survey and/or enter personal information (name, e-mail, mailing address) in order to secure your beauty booty. However, there are so many tempting offers - many of them straight from the manufacturer, so you know they’re legit - that it may be worth it to create a separate e-mail account (just in case you’re afraid of spam) so you can sign up for all the goodies. In any case, it’s definitely worth a look.
ShopGirl brought this little Prada clutch to my attention. It’s currently on sale at Neiman Marcus for $94 (from $125) and there is something about it that I can’t stop thinking about. It’s so simple, no bells or whistles, nothing that screams "Imagine me out with you in fabulous places!" Except the color. I love the shade of aqua. It would clearly not match anything, which means it would match everything (thanks, Lloyd Boston!). It would just add the right amount of sass to any ensemble.
Bath and Body Works is having their Summer Clearance Sale today through Wednesday(6/2-4), so now is a good time to stock up on your favorite yummy smelling body washes and lotions. Most are priced at $3, down from their regular $10 price. I’m going to go and stock up on hand soaps - I’m a sucker for their anti-bacterial collection. I can get 7 bottles for $20. I just paid $10 for 3 a few weekends ago, so I’m psyched for the discount. Even C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip products are on sale - and they are the darling of the beauty blogging world. So yeah, I’d go and check it out. Oooh - this is a good time to stock up on gifts too. The lotions and potions at Bath and Body Works always make great gifts. That way you’ll be set if ever a last-minute gift-giving occasion arose. Happy Shopping!
