Cyber Monday Sales!!! Inhabit NY, Endless and Net-a-Porter

by grechen on November 30, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I don’t know about you, but I’m all sale-d out for a while. Although I know this won’t be the end of the massive discounts & coupon codes. I’ve been VERY VERY good though and am not buying things I don’t need, but I did wait specifically for a sale/code at Endless so I can get my next pair of Swedish Hasbeens, and today they’re offering $30 off orders of $100 or more + free overnight shipping (the best thing about Endless in my opinion. they do also have a great selection)

AND…Inhabit NY is having yet ANOTHER sale. This time, the whole site is marked 50-80% off. I don’t know what to do with myself…I’m tempted to get both the stretch cashmere and cotton scoop neck sweaters:

The Cashmere sweater is $148 and the cotton, $78

Finally, Net-a-Porter has started their end-of-season markdowns…

MIke & Chris jacket – $100
Lanvin shoes – $728
DKNY messenger bag – $748

James Perse at Rue La La NOW!!

by grechen on November 29, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Yay!! I was finally able to buy something at a sample sale site I think today was quieter than usual because of the holiday weekend and it’s a Sunday morning…but I’m so excited that I was able to snag some James Perse items at Rue La La (if you don’t have an account at Rue La La already, sign up through my link and you’ll get a $10 credit!). AND I had a $40 credit so my total was $47. I hate to pay for shipping, but what can I do…

Here’s what I got:

I was tempted to pick up some more of the scoop neck cotton/nylon tops, but I didn’t – those are great though if by the time you get over there they’re still in stock. They’re super-soft and comfortable, the only problem is that you can’t really push the sleeves up because they stretch out so much…

Let me know if you pick anything up!!

Plaza Too – lots of shoes & bags are marked down 30% off already reduced sale prices, which means many items are 50-70% off. I’ve been looking at these F-troupe shoes for quite some time, and now they’re marked down to only $69.99 (they are final sale though)

Cusp – honestly, I don’t really look at Cusp much, but today I had to…unfortunately there aren’t many sizes left, but there are some great prices on Tory Burch Reva flats, and Tory Burch handbags – like this studded messenger bag , marked down to $403:

The Outnet: all weekend, take an extra 50% off select dresses from Tibi, Halston, by malene birger, Moschino Cheap & Chic, and more. This Vanessa Bruno dress is available in a size 8, and would be $102 with the discount:

Alternative Apparel & Bilingual Sales

November 25, 2009

You KNOW it’s all about the sales now, right? I know that, but I still always run out of money before Black Friday/Cyber Monday and can’t buy anything anyway I’ll try to avoid posting every sale individually, and group them together as much as possible, so as not to overwhelm. And if you’re staying away [...]

James Perse Bra & Panties = Heaven

November 19, 2009

OMG, now I really can wear James Perse EVERYWHERE! (LOL) I’ve often stated that I could probably dress in 100% James Perse for a couple of weeks, but I never considered that to include undergarments…until now. The offerings are minimal, a bra, thong and boyshort, but they’re signature James Perse – super soft, and easy. [...]

Meadowlark Serpent Earrings <- NEED

November 19, 2009

I. Love. These. Earrings. I only just discovered Meadowlark last night (thanks to an e-mail from Claire, one of the designer duo from New Zealand) and I’m already obsessed. As you know, I’m a huge fan of simplicity, with a twist; I always love something unexpected – like wearing a pair of serpent studs – [...]

How to wear Chunky Knits

November 18, 2009

Yummm…chunky knits…I always want to buy all the chunky sweaters I see come Fall; they look like something I’d want to wear all the time. But I will admit, I don’t own a lot of heavier knits for fear of adding bulk; if I do buy something, I usually prefer a sweater with a belt [...]

Yesterday’s Outfit + Style Crisis

November 17, 2009

I had this whole long post ready about how I’m having a 37-year-old crisis which is culminating in my constantly second-guessing my personal style. Suffice it to say that my crisis is over; I returned both pairs of Seychelles booties and am going to order another pair of Swedish Hasbeens clogs. I’m coming to terms [...]
