S... is for sale!

So, today is a Monday holiday. I was not planning on doing an official blog post, but changed my mind! Not only are holiday weekends great because you get an extra day to sit in your pajamas, but there are great sales in stores and online! I thought EVERYONE knew about online sample sales at this point, but it came to my recent attention that some of my coolest friends were not "in the know". I thought I would share an overview of my favorite online sample sale sites. You can get some AMAZING deals.

What is an online sample sale? It is a "sell off" of designer goods at a discount price. Quantities are limited, so it is first come first serve. Sales open at a particular time (i.e. 12 noon EST). The good stuff goes quickly! These events are "invite only" as in you have to be a member, but it is pretty easy to get an "invite". You are invited by me if you use any of the links below! :) There are a TON of sites now, but I am only going to share my favorites.

The Best of the Best!

T.P.: Thomas Paul Pillows... on Gilt now!

I have been desperately needing and wanting to update our master bedroom linens! We got two gorgeous duvets when we got married, but after being washed A LOT over the past three years, they both look tired and sad. like to have two duvets so when one is in the wash, I have another option. I have a sort of silhouette theme going in our bedroom- and would like to keep some the accessories, but it needs some updating and some slightly bolder color. I stumbled across these Thomas Paul pillows on Gilt Group and thought... yes, that works! :) An aqua duvet would be perfect and would add some cheer. I could also add in a black duvet as my alternate if I wanted.

Thomas Paul Pillow Retails for $100
Bought on Gilt for $40

If aqua/black is not your thing, Gilt is selling other options too. This dusty purple number is pretty cute!

This one sold out quick- but is chic too!

I am feeling super excited that I finally have a plan to go on to spice up my master bedroom! Sometimes all you need is one "inspiration" item and then you are good to go! Stay tuned...I will share photos once I find the perfect duvet and put it all together! I am very particular with how I style my bed. If you want one of these pillows hurry! Things sell out quick and this "Shades of Gray" sale ends 11/10/11 at midnight!

Until next time...xoxo

PS: Still not on Gilt? Get with it! Here is an invitation link from me to you!

C.S.C..... Cute Spring Coats!

Spring is just about here... and it is time to put away the wool coats and pull out a spring coat. There are a ton of adorable spring coats. My collegue "K" came into my office the other day to ask my opinion on two coats she was checking out on the Kenneth Cole sale on Ideeli. "K" is moving to San Francisco so needs some options for lighter weight coats. Well, long story short- she bought both coats and so did I! Now, they were a huge bargain. I LOVE Ideeli. It is in the same vein as Rue La La which I have blogged about and Gilt Group... which I have not yet blogged about. Click on the links to join!

These are the two coats I bought! Love them! Cannot wait for them to arrive in the mail!

Coat #1.... perfect black coat. Retails for $350 or so. Bought for $69!
