Hello there, shoppers! Anyone else thrilled that it’s Thursday? Not only is Friday just a day away and the weekend, just two, but it’s one of those days that is incredibly special for retail revelers like us.
Judging from my inbox, regardless of where you head today for a little retail therapy, you should find incredible inventory and stellar sales. I’ll point to several in a second, but first, I must mention the most exciting shopping event of the day: H&M’s gorgeous new Garden Collection, which we’ve been eyeing in magazine for months, is finally available in stores!
I seriously love so many of the spring-tastic, budget-respectful, eco-friendly pieces (made from environmentally adapted materials like recycled polyester, organic cotton and organic linen) that I don’t even care if I end up spying someone else out and about in the same styles I scoop up. Perhaps I’ll see a few of you at the Tysons store come lunch time!
Okay, now those promised sales:
Plenty of beautiful bargains are up for grabs at Bloomingdale’s, especially with the friends and family discount of 20 percent on most regular-priced and sale items, yours in stores and online until Sunday.
It’s also mega sale time at Banana Republic. For a limited time, save up to 40 percent on select spring dresses, pants, skirts, tops, accessories, etc., in stores and on the Web — plus free shipping on online orders over $150 with “BRSHIP150.”
Today is also an especially smart day to shop at smartbargains.com given that the site is offering an additional 25 percent off everything.
If you get all riled up by the Riley line at Lucky Brand, you should also prepare to get lucky. All Riley styles are now $30 off.
And, finally, if you think Kate is great, Kate Spade that is, now’s the time to go on a shopping spree; enjoy an additional 25 percent off sale items.
Yet that’s only the beginning of all the outstanding offers. Happy shopping!
Ps. Which sale are you most excited to take advantage of today? And, what’s your favorite look from the Garden Collection?
