“THIS SALE HAS ENDED”
The Deal: Get 30% off the season’s latest Maternity Dresses at GapMaternity
The Lowdown: Fortunately, these days, just because you’re expecting (okay, even if you aren’t, you may know someone who is, so pass it along) doesn’t mean you have to abandon your fashionista nature. But maternity clothes can be ridiculously pricey, which is why we’re giving you the heads up . . .
Anyone who’s been with child knows that dresses are the most comfortable and forgiving option out there, and Gap has some truly fab maternity dresses on sale now. We wish there were some more colorful options, but this shirred yoke dress
in seaglass, for just $41.65, should be sufficiently mood-boosting, and you might actually want to live in this jersey tie-belt dress
for $39.99.

Get 20% Off $100 or More at Banana Republic
The Deal: Get 20% off any purchase of $100 or more through Feb 25th at Banana Republic.
The Lowdown: February is almost history, and that means our long wait for Spring fashion is nearly over. It also means it’s time to take a long hard look in our closets to figure out just what we’re going to wear between now and May—the dreaded “transitional” dressing. Once we’ve taken stock, we’ll head for a sale like this one at Banana Republic (particularly because we love a “20 percent off” sale way more than the “$20 off” variety) and then hit the already-discounted sale items to get the best price.
Our top strategy (for maximum value) is to pick up pieces that you can layer under things you already have, and then wear alone later. And a pop of color is seriously in order. For petite girls, this silk cap-sleeve trapeze dress in rich green does the trick for $74.99. And tall girls, BR has your back too, with picks like this silk twill pleated blouse
, on sale for $39.99. Oh, and these both come in average sizes too, so everybody’s happy.

Save on Sale Items at Beauty.com, Plus Free Shipping
The Deal: Save on sale items at Beauty.complus get free Shipping on ANY purchase.
The Lowdown: Being a fashionista is all about what you’re wearing, right? Well, that’s part of the picture—but split ends, winter-dry skin, and dark circles aren’t exactly the best accessories, so keeping your beauty product supply stocked is important too. Being budget fashionsitas, of course, we refuse to drop a car payment on a teeny tiny jar of cream ($230 for 2 oz. of Creme de La Mer? Please.)
Beauty.com is one of our favorite online beauty stops, because not only do they have the products we like but their sales, clearance, and frequent free shipping offers save us cash and mean we can avoid those annoying department store cosmetic counters altogether. Winter’s still around, so fend off straw-like winter hair pick up something protective like this Phytopetite Smooth & Sleek set, for $10.50, or treat yourself to a late-winter home spa experience with this Lavanila Laboratories Vanilla Coconut Healthy Luxuries Set , on sale for $69.30 (still waaaay cheaper than that tropical vacation you can’t afford anyway. Sigh).

Save 10% Online at ESPRIT
The Deal: Online Special - Save 10% on ESPRIT
The Lowdown: If you are of a certain age (ahem) just the very word “Esprit” will conjure up images of logo-emblazoned t-shirts, denim mini skirts, and tote bags (accompanied by the requisite bad perms, scrunchy socks, and white Reebok high tops ). However, after perusing their online offerings, it’s safe to say the brand has actually moved into the 21st century, with cute on trend pieces, in sizes from XS to XL (take that Forever21), for prices that aren’t anywhere near as scary as those aforementioned perms.
Right now, we’re getting ready for some springtime layering (think more color, less heft). Our picks: basic cotton pullover, for $29.99; Carmen neck sweater, $29.99; bow scoop sweater, $34.99; stretch pullover, $34.99.

Shop Latest Clearance at Bluefly.com
The Deal: Shop the latest clearance at Bluefly.com
The Lowdown: Discounted designer apparel on clearance (or, as Bluefly likes to call it, “reduced sale”) always grabs our attention, but we’re not going to buy designer just because it’s there. We actually have to need what we’re picking up (it’s a pesky side-effect of being budget-conscious), so we’re going to dig deeper to find actual value.
For us right now, value means something fabulous that we can use to move our winter wardrobe gradually into spring, so some feminine, bright hued tops that will work both under a jacket and later stand on their own as weather permits are a top priority. Since the color palette for this spring is about as broad as it gets, we’ve got a lot of play in our choices, starting with this basic Elie Tahari ruched sleeve blouse , on sale for $53.59, and then moving on this fab bold Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent flutter sleeve blouse, for $89.59.

Web Round-Up: Costume of the Day, the Seven by YSL, McQueen heels, 5 Always on Sale in Feb
Have you noticed that retailers seem to operate on an annual pattern when it comes to sales? Apartment Therapy Chicago shares which 5 Things (are) Always on Sale in February.
Master of mixing the most unique and outspoken wardrobe pieces, this street style maven (the Glamourai) proves that even gold, fur, studs and polka dots can look sleek and pulled together. (costume of the day)
{this is glamorous} swoons over a romantic lace up heel by the master of details himself, Alexander McQueen. ({hearts a flutter})
Plus Size Bra BOGO at Lane Bryant
The Deal: Plus-size bras—buy 1, select 1 for half off at Lane Bryant
The Lowdown: Think the words “plus size bras” translate only to something as feminine and sexy as an ace bandage? Yeah, that’s the case too often, but Lane Bryant has become a plus size stand-by because they understand that curvy girls are, um, girls too. Duh.
Right now, go BOGO on plus size bras and get half off on the second bra. And yes, Valentine’s Day may be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to basic white—we love this Eyelash Lace Balconette Bra, $40 and this Contrast Underwire Plunge Bra
, $32. Of course, if full-coverage and/or simple neutrals are what you need, they’ve got those covered too.

Save Up to 80% at dELiA*S End of Season Clearance
The Deal: Get up to 80% off at dELiA*s clearance PLUS: free Shipping on your dELiA*s order of $75 or more with code DXBAFF.
The Lowdown: One might think that, this time of year, clearance sections would include only winter-worthy sweaters and the like. But, being all cute and junior-focused, dELiA*s current clearance selections include tanks, tees, and spring hues. Go figure.
While some of us can’t get one well-endowed calf into a pair of dELiA*s denim, for those who can, we’d suggest you go ahead and pick up something spring appropriate, like this Carrie V-Neck Cami for $14.99 or this Alyssa Twist Cami
for $9.99, and wear them as shown (with a cardigan or jacket) for now, then shed the extra layer when the sun starts to thaw things out . . .
Shop: dELiA*s and don’t forget to take advantage of free shipping with code DXBAFF
The First Lady Sale at eDressme.com
The Deal: Save at eDressme.com’s First Lady Sale with select items up to 80% Off at eDressMe.com
The Lowdown: We love a fashionable first lady (we’re still doing a happy dance over Michelle O.‘s arrival in the White House) and so are totally happy to take any opportunity to honor the post with, well, saving money. We also kinda dig the idea of a First Lady sale, too, because those presidents get all the attention anyway.
Our suggestion? Celebrate with something fashion forward and colorful (maybe it’s just us, but we’re soooo over the chic-but-dreary winter grays). This flutter sleeve basketweave chiffon dress by Anna Sui, for example, is on sale for just $99 and will totally transition into spring, as will this watercolor ruffle dress , also by Anna Sui and also 99 bucks. And before you call us on it, we realize sizes are very limited, but at these prices—just take a look.

Get $20 Off $75 at New York & Company
The Deal: Get $20 off a purchase of $75 or more at New York & Company with this link or code 8130
The Lowdown: While sales at New York & Company are kind of old hat (not that we’re complaining—they’re kind of a budget fashionista’s best friend), there are some new collections to peruse, in case you haven’t spent enough lately (go balance your checkbook if you must—we’ll wait).
If you’re still sticking to that New Year’s resolution to work out more, you might need some motivation (it is February, after all) in the form of some new workout wear—NY&C has a whole new collection, which happens to be on sale now, which makes us think we should start working out again right now. Maybe. And, if the working out has paid off, you might also want to check out their new swimwear collection. The selection is limited, but with black and leopard tankinis, bikinis, and maillots to choose from, we’re content. On that note, we’re looking for our gym membership card right now . . .

Shop New Markdowns at Gap.com
The Deal: New Gap styles for on sale now
The Lowdown: While we have no spring getaway plans (sigh) it’s quite possible that you do—but if there’s a vacation in your near future, we’re guessing much of your budget has already been spent (seriously, who can afford plane tickets AND clothing these days?). Still, you’ll probably want a few cute, packable items to take (and with all the new baggage fees, packable is very important), particularly if you’re heading somewhere warm. Which is why it wouldn’t hurt to hit up this sale at Gap which includes, amidst the sweaters and wool pants, some very cute, vaca-worthy items.
We are now shifting into fantasy vacation mode (yes, we’re living vicariously through you) and have selected a couple of pieces we’d like to slip into before heading out for that poolside Margarita: an Plaid Empire Tie Dress, on sale $34.99, and this swimsuit: Bow Halter Bandeau Top, $29.99;
Bow Bikini Bottom, $19.99.
Of course, if you’re like us and don’t have anywhere to go, perhaps you can console yourself with one of the many pairs of fab Gap jeans on sale now—get the most mileage out of a classic denim look, like this new low rise boot cut in a dark wash, for just $29.99.

Valentine’s Day Dresses 15% Off at eDressMe.com
The Deal: Get 15% off Valentine’s Day dresses at eDressMe.com
The Lowdown: We know it’s so cliche, but what better excuse to wear a red dress than Valentine’s Day? Being practical girls, we usually opine over the usefulness of The Little Black Dress , but there are times when it’s okay to just throw caution to the wind. But only if you can do it at a discount (we’re never so reckless as to pay full price, you know). So with 15% off Valentine’s dresses at eDressme.com, we figured it’s worth a look. To be honest, most of what we found are still outside our price range, but we did manage to pick two that could help heat up your holiday without breaking the bank (and one that’s not cheap, but fab nonetheless):
Steal: Sequined Halter Dress by Khaki Krew, $82.45
Deal: Strapless Red Sequins Dress by Scala, $134.30
Splurge: And yes, we know this one is out of a traditional “budget” range, but if you have the cash to splurge and want something chic (and designer) you can wear again and again, we kinda fell in love with this Red Cocktail Dress by Marc Bouwer Glamit —for $421, on sale (we told you it wasn’t cheap).
Shop: eDressme.com
15% Off New Arrivals at dELiA*s With Code
The Deal: 15% off dELiA*s entire new collection with code: NEWYR15. Ends Feb. 5, 2009.
b>The Lowdown: While the winter clearance sales are always our first stop, right now, with 15% off your total order, we’re thinking that dELiA*s devotees—you know who you are, and you know what size you need to be to shop there—should consider new arrivals for any spring events that might be filing up their social calendars. We’re suckers for a feminine party dress, and dELiA*s has a few we just might consider—feminine, spring-hued, and flattering shapes—were we not, oh, just a year or two past our prom/spring fling days. Right.
Our top three:
Michelle Dress, $54.50
Bridgette Dress, $44.50
Georgia Dress, $39.50
Shop: dELiA*s
Take an Extra 50% Off at New York & Company
The Deal: Take an extra 50% off redline lowest price at New York & Company
The Lowdown: Another week, another sale at New York and Company. We’re not complaining, just starting to feel like a broken record (scratched CD? Partially downloaded MP3? Suddenly we feel out-dated ...).
Still, we’re particularly fond of the fashion-forward NY&Co Collection, and right now you’ll find redlined items here at an additional 50% off, meaning you can actually step up your it’s-February-and-I’m-totally-sick-of-winter wardrobe, on the cheap. This Cotton Draped Tie Blouse, for example, goes beyond boring basic white (who doesn’t have that covered already?), for just $24.99, and make a budget-yet-chic statement with this Collection Shift Dress with Chiffon Drape, on sale for $29.99. Finally, this Collection Woven Paper Bag Skirt is a good pick if you’re looking to build your bridge wardrobe for the transition to spring, for just $17.49.
