How to prepare for a big sale event?

4th of July sales events will be here soon! To get the best of a big sale event make a scrapbook – it’s very easy using polyvore.

  • You can choose all the items you want (or similar versions) because we all know that carrying images in your head can be tiring , put them on paper that way you’ll never forget.
  • you can resist the temptation to get whats not on your list.
  • and you can see how you’ll be able to mix and match your new wardrobe pieces.

Here’s a scrap i did for the “paris soldes” going on now.

Photos of the Seas of Shoes vs Urban Outfitters collaboration

So as you’ve all heard by now ( or maybe not) famous teen blogger Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes will be coming out with a shoe line collaboration with Urban Outfitters. Some photos of the shoes are out and I wanted to share my thoughts and hear your thoughts.

If i saw this in a store window I would walk right pass it without even blinking – its kind of unimaginative for a ballet flats with laces.
Sad to say it – but this looks like every other gladiator heels
The saving grace of the collection are these boots! love them, but I secretly wish it wasn’t open toed. And if you do get them, let me know if its real leather because from the pics they look like faux leather.

So there you have, the new photos of Jane shoe line with Urban Outfitter. What do you think, are they hot, or not?

P.S. Somebody please give Karla a shoe line!

White summer dresses on sale – See by Chloe and more!

It’s raining in NYC and gray in Paris but atleast we can still window-online-shop while we’re all waiting for that perfect summer day.

Speaking of which I was snooping around online and I can’t believe my eyes! -
Shopbob is having an amazing sale and no one told me!

Jeez , thank god i’m here with a big mouth to tell you all to head your mouse over to shopbop.com sale section for a pleasant surprise.

2. See by Chloe long dress $248.00
3.

And for all my international readers – they are offering free international shipping.

This seasons its all about the white maxi dress. They are figure flattering, they come in all shapes, strapless, V-neck, spaghetti strapped etc
Goes well with: with gladiator sandals, ballet flat or even sneakers you can’t go wrong when you go for a summery free spirited outfit like a long white dress.

Sale: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown handbag

Where can you buy a genuine Yves Saint Laurent bag for under $500?
Right here!


My boss bought this
YSL Yves Saint Laurent Downtown bag, but it’s too big for her – so she’s selling it to a lucky buyer/bidder for only $450.




As you can see from the pictures it’s a big carry-all type handbag, with the characteristic Yves Saint Laurent styling. It’s brand spanking new and she’s willing to ship worldwide!!!


This is a great deal for a quality handbag, I can supply more information on request. Store prices go for $1196 at www.bluefly.com

Did I tell you guys I went to the Yves Saint Laurent sample sale here in Paris a couple days ago?!
My God it was overwhelmingly amazing!( will post pics soon)

I left with two handbags, two pairs of shoes, a pair of boots, oxfords for my hubby and sunglasses. Yes, my pocket is burning – but as Sarah Jessica Parker puts it in Sex and the City; “I like my money where I can see it… hanging in my closet.” But this post is not about me:

The YSL Downtown bag is the ultimate designer handbag, and on deep deep discount at that – Leave comments with any questions, comments, and of course bids!
