The Deal: Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% Off New Spring Jewelry at New York & Company
The Lowdown: Spring, eh? Hmmm, well while we’re still just barely recovered from the whole holiday shopping insanity, not to mention still figuring out how to fend off the arctic chill, we’re hardly in a mind for spring. But then again, maybe that’s just what we need—something to look forward to, and jewelry? Well, we’re never against a fab accessory or two, particularly in a BOGO sale from one of our go-to retailers.
So what constitutes this “Spring” jewelry at New York & Company? Chunky beads, pale hues, and ...
The Deal: The Stock up and Save Event at Gap, online and in-stores while supplies last
The Lowdown: We wouldn’t suggest buying quantity in order to “save” money if you only really need one of the item in question (seriously, we all know this is the whole point of those tempting BOGO-type sales, and who among us hasn’t gotten suckered in to spending more than we really needed to?). However, when it comes to basic items we might actually want to buy in multiples, shopping during a sale like this “stock up and save” event at Gap makes sense.
What we’d go with? Some basic bras for ...
The Deal: Save an extra 20-40% on designer pieces from Tahari, Michael Kors, Laundry, Via Spiga, Steve Madden, and more at Smartbargains.com’s Designer Catwalk Clearance Event.
The Lowdown: While we like Smartbargains in theory, sometimes the offerings—and special savings—can be hit or miss. But, um, a designer clearance event? We’re thinking we’ve hit Smartbargains gold. Of course we know the proof is in the fashion pudding, so to speak (that sounded better in our heads) and since we’re suckers for quality coats —particularly since it’s, like, -87 degrees outside—we headed there ...
In Confessions of a Shopaholic, Isla Fisher rocks this fab Morgane Le Fey black and white wool boucle coat—and now, we’re told, you can too, at 80% off retail. If, that is, you can make it to the Morgane Le Fey Madison Avenue store between now and January 30 (or bribe someone to go for you).
The store is closing (MLF has another store in SoHO and one in Santa Monica, Calif.) so the sale will include not only this coat but items from the Fall and Winter collections, previous collections, and one-of-a-kind runway samples, discounted up to 80% off.
The sale runs every day now through ...
Read MoreThe Deal: 15% off your entire order at dELiA*s: Use code WINTER.
The Lowdown: While dELiA*s (ahem, a note to dELiA*s marketing department: seriously, do you have any idea how annoying it is to have to type it that way??) isn’t a store for everyone (some of us have, oh, thighs) but if you’re junior sized, it actually is a go-to mostly-budget-friendly stop. Save 15% off your order right now using the code WINTER, and we say take advantage of the extra savings to get winter clearance items you can still use now even cheaper.
Um, at the risk of sounding like we’re part of the dELiA*s ...
The Deal: Kohl’s card holders can take 15% off their order through Jan. 20 with code NEWYEAR15
The Lowdown: Okay, so it’s not so secret anymore—we’re so in the know—so if you happen to have a Kohl’s card, use the code to get 15% off online. If you’re not already a Kohl’s card holder, however, we’d never recommend opening an account JUST to get a discount (usually this is a recipe for disaster—in the form of unnecessary debt—at some point in the future).
As a consolation prize, even non-card holders can take advantage of Kohl’s current savings of 40-50% off select handbags . ...
The Deal: Spend more, save more at Banana Republic with code SAVEMORE. Offer ends today.
The Lowdown: Of course, retailers always want you to spend more, but in this case there’s an actual benefit of sorts—the more you spend at Banana Republic through today, the higher percentage discount you’ll get. Take 15% off when you spend $125; 20% off when you spend $200; and a full 25% off when you spend $250. Our advice? Don’t spend more than you normally would just to get the 25% (or if you’re going to, take a moment and do the math to see where you’ll get you’re best deal).
The winter ...
The Deal: Save up to 70% off now at Steve Madden’s Clearance Sale
The Lowdown: Steve Madden is one of our favorite reasonably-priced designers, but that’s not to say the shoes and handbags are cheap. So we wait. Until a sale, like this one, where we can take up to 70% off of those slightly-over-the-top-of-our-budget prices.
While those totally trendy fringed/gladiator/multi-colored styles might be tempting, we’re going to attempt to show a little self-restraint by making the most of our slim footwear budget with a pair or two that we’ll actually wear more than 4 times. Like a hot ...
Read MoreThe Deal: Winter $10 Event! Save on plus-size fashion from Avenue.com!
The Lowdown: Plus size clothing pieces for $10? $15? Even $20? Okay, we’re listening. And looking. Just as we suspected, we’re not talking high fashion here, but good foundation-worthy basics. Layer-worthy picot-trimmed camis for $10 apiece; solid tunic sweaters, also $10 apiece; some basic denim for just $20. This is a sale to shop based on need, not a desire for that know-it-when-you-see-it signature piece . . .
Our own focus for this sale, however? The bras (you’ll find them with the “tops” online)—several ...
Read MoreThe Deal: Shop Gap women’s coats on sale now.
The Lowdown: It always pays to get the most out of last year’s coat, then replace it midseason with something great from all the January winter clearance sales.
Case in point: this sale at Gap features up to 70% off on a selection that is, while somewhat limited, still classic enough to carry through to the next year. If you’ve already picked up your coat for this year, make a mental note to hold out for the deals next season (file it right there next to “skinny jeans are NOT the way to make your thighs look thinner, no matter what the ...
