F-Troupe opens Online Shop!

Grechen Cohen — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:22:46 GMT

I love F-Troupe shoes/boots, and I've featured them several times from other boutiques like [http://www.gargyle.com]Gargyle[/url], Oak NYC and others. But now they're offering shopping online through their own webshop. They're shipping from the UK, so that may be somewhat prohibitive, but they do have the best selection of F-Troupe online (this would have helped me when I was desperately searching for a pair in my size last year!!)

Just a taste of some of the amazing shoes:

Etsy Find: Trees with Knees

Grechen Cohen — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:21:06 GMT

Grechen's Closet may be a shopping website, but I have always advocated thinking carefully about what you buy (I myself have a 24 hour waiting period) and not buying things you don't need just because they're on sale...

So, naturally, I LOVE this wallet by Etsy seller Trees with knees:

...just in case you need a little reminder before pulling out your hard earned cash.

Greenloop Sale

Grechen Cohen — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:51:06 GMT

Through Sunday (10/13), Greenloop is having their Fall sale - many items are marked down 60% - including TOMS Shoes,

Psst...I have the Loyale Niland Jacket featured above and I love it - so comfortable, and casual. I also have two Stewart + Brown lengthened tees from 3 years ago - just an FYI, the sleeves are super-long, the style runs BIG, and the cotton is THIN. But I really love these for layering!!

And Now for Something Completely Different...

Grechen Cohen — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:39:13 GMT

While browsing through my favorite sites this morning, I ran across this lovely gem at Olive shoes by LD Tuttle:

I can't say exactly what it is, I mean, there's two change purses attached to both sides of a leather "strap." After I thought about it for a sec, I realized you can probably wear it exactly like a handbag - with the strap over your shoulder and the change purses hang down on either side of your body. This could be complicated unless you balance the weights correctly, but an interesting idea anyway.

While you're at Olive shoes, check out the new arrivals from Argila and Mike & Chris. Oh, and save 15% with code "grechen15."

Jerome Dreyfuss' Robert Resurfaces

Grechen Cohen — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:46:33 GMT

Since I purchased my Jerome Dreyfuss Robert bag from Active Endeavors earlier this year, I hadn't seen it online since. Now, here it is at Frankey's and you can get it for 20% off with code "Closet20"...this is the best deal you'll find on Jerome Dreyfuss handbags right now.

(that's me on the right with mine - I love this bag so much, the leather is incredibly soft, it has tons of places to put things, and it's easy to carry/get into)

Belen Echandia Sample Sale

Grechen Cohen — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:41:36 GMT

Head's up!! Belen Echandia is having their Fall sample sale starting tomorrow, October 3 at 2pm EST. For more details, click here - but basically only one of each style will be available (with exceptions), some bags have been on display, and some are "samples," but everything will be disclosed in the bag description on the day of the sale. If you're a Belen Echandia fan, I recommend you set an alarm for 2PM October 3rd and get what you want ASAP. The sale runs through the weekend, but from past experience, I know that most items are gone after the first few hours.

If you're not familiar with Belen Echandia, here are some of their most popular styles:

I have mentioned Elle H many times before; it's one of the best online sources for FABULOUS sales. Now that they've redesigned - and added a "regular" boutique for new arrivals - the site is much easier to navigate and full of really useful functions.

You could pretty much do all your Fall shopping in the outlet section, picking up jackets & cashmere for 50% off. Three Dots cashmere crew necks are marked down to about $74:
