Extra 50 Percent off at The Outnet

Friday, 05 March 2010 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

The Outnet, the online outlet store of Net-a-Porter (the Web’s fashion-savviest shopping site), has become my new favorite online shopping destination, for many reasons. I have found incredible designer pieces, from clothing to accessories (especially accessories!!) at theOutnet.com. In addition, my shopping experience is exactly as it should be — professional, fun, exciting and a little 'holiday like.' The layout of the site makes it a breeze to get what I want and order with ease, so I can get on with my day. And when my packages arrive (swiftly, I might add), they come in a reusable bag with all of its contents perfectly wrapped to perfection. Sheer bliss!

Designer representation includes Alexander McQueen, Anna Sui, Chloé, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Donna Karan, DvF, Phillip Lim, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Narciso Rodriguez and more.

Today's Weekend Shop-In is all about the last call for fall. It's a 72-hour shopping window devoted to trans-seasonal pieces with an extra 50% off. Shop the knitwear, jackets, pants, dresses and ankle boots to take your look from this season through to the next with pieces by Stella McCartney, Moschino Cheap and Chic, Chloé and more. The sale starts today, Friday March 5th, 12pm EST, and finishes Monday March 8th, 12pm EST. Go get 'em, girls!

Lip Smackin' Good

Wednesday, 02 December 2009 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

Who doesn't love lip gloss? I have collected many in my day ... over the past few years especially. I just can't get enough. And while I have my favorites, I have to tell you, my Candy Shop Lip Tins from e.l.f. eyes lips face rock, and for only $2. The best colors are Melon Mayhem and Cherry Bomb. The only downfall is their stickiness. It's best to use a lip brush.

And check out the newcomer, YOYO Lip Gloss. For $2.99, you get a fun, retractable lip gloss that clips onto your keys, handbag, etc., for easy access. The cord extends to 2 1/2 feet. Apply and snap it back!

Friday and Monday Deals

Friday, 27 November 2009 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

While Black Friday brings super deals (if you can handle crowds), Cyber Monday has already begun. Stores are offering extra incentives for you to start your shopping now. And, you can save both in stores and online.

For those of you online shoppers, Banana Republic is offering 30% off sweaters, outwear and more through November 29th. And if you spend over $50, shipping is free. Take advantage of one shopping cart with Banana Republic, GAP, Old Navy, Piperlime and Athleta. Shopping made simple. Speaking of which, Piperlime is offering 20% off Rachel Zoe's picks with promo code: RZPICKS and GAP is offering 50% off practically every department.

Here are some simple shopping rules to follow:

Buy only what you love (Just liking it is not good enough.)
Stick to your list (It's easy to deviate from your plans if you're not careful. A list will keep you focused.)
Make it personal (Gifts should come from the heart. Show your loved ones how much you care by giving them something unique to them.)

If you don't find everything on your list in one trip, don't settle. There's always tomorrow. Besides, it gives you additional research time. Happy shopping!
