don't miss sample sales for Thursday, September 2: on Hautelook: Dolce Vita, EcoSkin, Amrita Sinngh. on Rue La La: MICHAEL Michael Kors. on Gilt: Accessories & Jewelry final sale.
Remember the top I got from the JAMES PERSE OUTLET!!!!!!!!! a couple weekends ago that I couldn’t find online? Well, turns out I didn’t look hard enough; here it is at Saks on sale for $29:


I love the color “olympic” and it seems to be available in all sizes, but I would recommend sizing down one size – my normal size is a little too drapey on me. And FYI, my friend Sharon got one at the JAMES PERSE OUTLET!!!!!!!! also, but since hers was folded instead of hanging up, it was more of a cropped top than mine. She was going to hang it for a while and see if that stretched it a bit. You could also wash it on cold water, then hang it to dry – that would lengthen it too I think.
The Alexander Wang darcy Hobo in black is the Daily Deal at Satine (marked down to $765) AND if you use code “grechens10″ you’ll save an additional 10% off, bringing the bag down to $688. I dare you to find a better deal anywhere else. I also can’t recommend this bag enough. I have the “luggage” version and have been wearing it all the time; it’s very easy to carry because of the thick shoulder strap, and although some may consider it to be a “heavy” bag, I hardly notice the weight because it’s so easy to carry.

Anyway, if you can, and you need the PERFECT black bag with a little edge, splurge on this one. You won’t be sorry
I don’t know how I missed this one, but one of my friends on twitter was kind enough to send me a note about this MAJOR sale at Virginia Johnson
Shawls are 50% off. 50% off!!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them that low; now you can get 2 for the price of 1. And believe me, once you have one, you’ll want another one…
I’m still craving the camel print version – she has “beet” and light blue in stock:

But I kind of like this car print too:

You will never know how you got along without your Virginia Johnson shawl after you get one…it’s true.
Through 8/25, all Summer styles of Swedish Hasbeens at Swedish Hasbeens are marked down 30%!! The prices are really great – the peep-toe super-high style I’ve been coveting all Summer would be $164, and that INCLUDES shipping from Sweden!!

I am tempted!!! And I can’t say enough wonderful things about my covered high sandals/clogs – they’re $149 including shipping:

Of course, I always recommend checking endless for Swedish Hasbeens on sale also, and it seems like the prices are comparable, but endless is sold out of a lot of sizes, and Swedish Hasbeens online shop seems to have a very good selection.
Who’s buying?? What are you getting?
