Faux Fur Jacket

I know, I've been posting a lot of faux fur pieces lately, but they're so cute! This would look great over a party dress and is on sale for $198 (originally $289) at Harmony Lane.

Rectangular Box Evening Bag

You know, the box clutch is totally under represented lately! It's a super classic piece usually brought to high society parties, but this one is only $125 at Ann Taylor.
Sidenote: I'm still sick so my posting will be pretty sporadic. Have a great weekend!

Crystal Cocktail Ring

If you want to jazz up a holiday outfit but don't have a lot of money to spend than this is a great piece to buy! A simple, yet totally chic cocktail ring, you can buy this at Bloomingdale's for $58.
But wait, there's more! Get 20% to 25% off your purchase at Bloomies with the code "PS1129" at checkout before Dec 2!

Lust For Less: Sequin Minis

Sequins are hot for the holidays! And a skirt is a great piece that you can pair with different tops to change up at various parties.

This Theory sequin mini is basic and cute, but costs a whooping $308 at Pink Mascara! Ooo, but I just found it at Neiman Marcus for the sale price of $207, hooray!

Of course, that's still kinda expensive, so here's one for a more affordable $145 at Active Endeavors.

Or perhaps you're thrifty AND tall/petite. Well, then you're in luck because the cheapest one has special size options and is only $128 at Banana Republic.

Affordable Sateen Jodhpurs

People keep talking about how jodhpurs are coming into style, yet I haven't seen a single affordable pair! In fact, the cheapest ones I've seen before were $300! But here's a pair at Asos for £25 or about $51. Now let's see if the masses really will adopt it.

Russian Faux Fur Hat

I love this style of hat, it has a very old world feel to me. Plus, this faux fur one is machine washable and only £15 or about $31 at TopShop!

Plaid Babydoll Dress

The wide, fold over collar on this dress is so cute, and the price, considering it's Geren Ford, is amazing! Buy it at 50% off for $133 at Adasa. Oh my, it looks like EVERYTHING on the site is 50% to 90% off, quick, grab as much as you can before anyone else!!!

Vintage Inspired Kitten Heels

I used to think there was zero chance of me ever posting a PlayBoy item on this site. So here I am, SHOCKED to tell you that these heels are actually Playboy! Only $68 at Yoox, they're not something I would have expected - rather demure and vintage inspired and without a hint of lucite!

Giraffe Sash Tie Turtleneck

I totally obsess over giraffe prints, but if you don't you can also buy this top in basic red or black. Buy it at Bluefly, originally $163 but now just $98.

Retro Puff Sleeve Sweater

One of my favorite independent boutiques, Paper-Doll is closing, how sad! So it's your last chance to scoop up as many cute clothes that no one else will have as possible, like this retro styled sweater for $145.

Beaded Cutout Necklace

Giant, statement necklaces seem to be a slight trend for the holiday season, so here's a beautiful one that's kinda affordable, only $113 at Net-a-porter. Also, Net-a-porter is having their sale starting today and I just managed to not spend $600, so be careful! Their stuff is just too tempting, I'm going to have to stay away from the site for awhile!

Project Runway Auctions

Don't forget that if you're taller than 5'10 and a size 0-2, you can be the owner of the original Project Runway designs seen on tv! Buy them at their auction, prices seem to end up ranging from $100 to $300. I totally want the racerback vest by Victorya NOW, wah!

Saltwater Taffy Bag

How cool is the shape of this bag from Anthropologie?? Super unique, expect loads of compliments. Just looking at it remind me of nummy treats. Buy for the sale price of $240.

Plaid Wool Cape

This plaid wool cape is a perfect trendy piece for Winter! Not only do plaid and capes come into style pretty much every Winter, but it's not outrageously priced as most outerwear is. Buy at Nordstrom for $198 in red plaid, gray black or just gray.

Fuschia Empire Dress

Isn't the color of this dress to die for? Wearable for casual event or work, you could also dress it up for a party and stand out in a sea of black. Buy it at La Garçonne for 30% off at $238.

Ruffled Printed Top

This is a beautifully printed top that I adore, and it just went on sale! Buy at Saks, originally $248 but marked down to $111.

Taffeta Gathered Mini Skirt

When I first saw this skirt, I was kinda hesitant, but it's growing on me to the point that I totally want now! Someone buy for present, please! You can get it at Asos for £25 or about $51. I love how there are concealed drawstrings so you can customize your look however. It's also available in petite (whoever buys this for me, I'll need petite - thanks).

These Burberry sandals are super hot right now, definitely one of the most popular items from the Fall '07 runways. They're sold out in a lot of places, but Burberry.com still has them in stock... for $940!!!

A passable imitation and certainly more budget-friendly, you can get these at TopShop for £65 or about $134.

Erin Fetherston Gray Cardigan

I wasn't too impressed with most of the quality of the Erin Fetherston at Target, but I did really like this gray cardigan! A classic piece jazzed up with unique details such as balloon-style sleeves and cute pockets! Buy for just $35.

Black Friday Tips & Secrets!

I'm about to be off for the holidays, but I leave you with the 10 things you should know before Black Friday:

1: Most Black Friday deals are leaked early online. Check sites that post leaked Black Friday ads and info, and give yourself an advantage over the masses. The four best sites are: bfads.net, blackfriday.gottadeal.com, blackfridayads.com, and blackfriday.info. Some of these sites will optionally send you an e-mail whenever they post a new ad or new information. (So will Wal-mart's "Secret Section.") Some have cell phone versions of the site for referring while in-store.

2: Many Black Friday deals are bait-and-switch scams. They may sell you a very cheap product with a very expensive warranty, or use a given price, but add software, accessories or other over-priced add-ons as a required but unadvertised part of the purchase. You'll find out about this only at the register. If the price at the register is significantly higher than advertised for any reason, ask to speak to a supervisor and insist on the advertised price. If they still refuse, threaten to write a letter to the attorney general.

3: Get the best price without hassles by knowing price-match and return policies. Many stores offer price-match guarantees (if a competitor offers a lower price, they'll match it). Increasingly, Black Friday sales are exempt from all this. Others have a return policy that, in effect, is a price-match guarantee for the store itself (if they drop the price, the difference is later refunded to you if you ask for it). If you know which product you want to buy, and can find a store with a price-match guarantee that honors Black Friday prices, buy it! When Black Friday rolls around, you can go looking for the best price, and not have to worry about whether the store is out of stock. If a store is willing to refund the difference between its own normal price and its Black Friday price, buy it early for the same reason.

4: Beat the system by shopping in teams. Stores rely on a long list of tricks, from limited sale hours to low inventories in order to lure you into the stores without giving you the time to comparison shop for the product you want at the best possible price. Have one team member in each store when it opens, each with a list of what everyone wants to buy. Use Joopz.com to set up broadcast SMS. Each team member finds every product on the list, then broadcasts pricing. The person at the store with the lowest price for each item buys it.

5: Use your cell phone browser to check competing deals, and also product quality. You can also use standard sites like BizRate.com, Shopping.com and PriceGrabber.com to check just how good prices are. Sometimes Black Friday prices can be beat online anytime.

6: Some Black Friday promos are designed to unload loser products. Products that are obsolete, unpopular, damaged or returned are prime candidates for Black Friday sales. Make sure you narrow your list of products, so you don't end up buying something you don't really want.

7: Shop early. Very early. Many stores will open at midnight this year. Many open as early as 5 am. Find out in advance what time each store opens, so you can plan accordingly.

8: Some of the best deals are advertised only on Thanksgiving -- or even on Black Friday itself. Make sure you get all the local newspaper on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday.

9: Some Black Friday deals are actually buyable online. Others are buyable only online, or have prices that actually beat in-store prices. Start checking prices on Thanksgiving. Check Web sites again very early Black Friday morning, and shop there first -- then go to the stores only if you have to. Still other stores let you order items online the day before, and pick them up on Black Friday.

10: Plan ahead to think clearly. Bring food, wear comfortable shoes, and leave the kids at home (kids can influence impulse buying or convince you to leave early). Stay focused, and don't let yourself be caught up in the frenzy.

Happy hunting!
