Donna Karan Sale on ideeli Today!

August 6, 2010 By

Donna Karan Sale on ideeli
Starts Fri 8/6

Donna Karan, a fashion icon who needs no introduction, founded her eponymous collection based on what she calls “heart, body and soul.” Her inimitable skill to divine what women need (and want) has solidified a place in the pantheon of legendary designers. Karan applies that same intuitive vision to Donna Karan shoes: her pumps, boots, and T-strap designs are meant to dazzle while celebrating the individual, and enhance the wearer’s style rather than overpower it. Timeless yet always of-the-moment, Donna Karan’s sharp eye and distinct, minimalist aesthetic continue to shape the fashion landscape.

Eco-Friendly Fashion from Claire V. and Jasmere

April 16, 2010 By

Fashion doesn’t have to damage your world… in fact, some amazing brands are taking steps to make their products amazingly eco-friendly!

Since we’re less than a week away from Earth Day, Jasmere is pulling out some fantastic deals. The first one to get us pulling out our wallet is from Claire V.

Made of eco-friendly recycled corn husk, Lola Starfish walks lightly on the earth, but fiercely down the runway. This fun resort line from claire v. sports great straw style with every design, and features changeable, embellished ribbon sashes – fondly called “Lolitas”- to suit your every mood. From a day by the pool to an evening under the stars, Lola Starfish will see you through with style.

So, change the ribbons and these will always match your outfit. Talk about clever!

Sure, you could go directly to Claire V. to purchase this item, but through this weekend, Jasmere is offering these fun bags that are perfect for summer at a HUGE discount. Plus, shoppers get free shipping to make this an even sweeter deal!

Still haven’t tried Jasmere? Here’s why you should:

Jasmere seeks out lesser-known specialty retailers that deserve national attention. Our team of New York, Los Angeles and Washington, DC- based shopaholics personally tests every product we feature, using jasmere‘s negotiating power to offer you an exclusive discount. But don’t let the low prices fool you. Every merchant we feature on jasmere meets our highest standards of quality. You may not have heard of these websites, but you can be sure their products and services are the best around. We guarantee it.

Top Sample Sale Sites for Beauty

March 10, 2010 By

You’ll notice that there will be a couple of overlapping sites from this and the fashion list. Why? Because some of these companies really know who their demographic is, and they know how to cater to them.

Here is my list for the top five sample sale sites that do the best job with offering beauty products. Whether that’s all they sell, or they offer it in addition to something else, these are the ones who do it right. Want to know number one? Read on, darling!

5. Three-way Tie between ideeli (They’ve had some great exclusive releases, like the new Aveeno line), Gilt (high end items and things you won’t find elsewhere, like the Blueprint Cleanse and Clarisonic) and Rue La La (Beauty is definitely not something they keep high on their list… they like their fashion and accessories most).

4. Editor’s Closet: This site gets overlooked a lot. I’m not 100% sure why… maybe the prices aren’t as great, but I have made some fabulous purchases there, and they have been known to have a killer beauty sale every now and then.

3. Billion Dollar Babes: I’ve seen everything from Orly and SpaRitual nail polishes to Stila and different skin care lines. Always fun and the prices are pretty fantastic.

2. The Skinny: When all you do is beauty sales, you’re bound to be pretty good at it… and The Skinny is. Good prices, decent selection within the brand… but they usually only feature one to two brands at a time. If there were more, this site would easily be number one.

1. Hautelook: Ahh yes, the wonderful Hautelook. They seem to have the best selection of hard-to-find beauty products (I’ve bought Butter London polishes and Lorac makeup just since January… and I haven’t seen either of those brands on any other site) and their prices are usually outstanding. Sure, they don’t always have a beauty sale, but when they do, they make it count.

Love these choices… or think I missed one very important site? Let us know in the comments, or email me!
