Assorted Shopping Sweets

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! Your parents always told you that variety is the spice of life, right? Well, the shopping world is no exception. Today offers the perfect example. Here’s a peek at the assortment of shopping sweets ready and waiting for you.

First, picture it, a day spent shopping at Cusp and catching up with one of your favorite magazines. Pretty fabulous, right? Well, guess what, such bliss can be yours. Cusp and Lucky Magazine are hosting a Happy Go Lucky event now through Aug. 29; spend $250 in regular-priced apparel in Cusp stores or online, and receive a Splendid scarf, the September issue of Lucky, free shipping on any one online order in September and $25 in Cusp cash!

Second, imagine fabulous new jeans, tops and dresses from your fave designers on a mega-sale. You’ve got just that at chickdowntown.com, offering 30 percent off site-wide with the code “SUMMER30;” Treat, in Alexandria, currently hosting their annual Summer Clearance Sale, featuring 80 percent off retail including brands like Ella Moss, Sanctuary, Rachel Pally and more; and shopbop.com, with loads of designer looks at up to 70 percent off.

Third, picture JC Penney with a little Spanish pizzazz. Done. A collection of looks from MNG by Mango has been added to the racks there.

Fourth, think of a world that that includes shopping as a way to give back. Don’t forget Gap’s Get & Give event starts today, benefiting both the charity of your choice and your wallet. (For the deal, remember code “PQV9TYWP2K8N.”)

And, finally, imagine laundering your precious buys (including nightmarish-to-wash white-and-navy striped shirts) and not having to worry about colors bleeding onto one another. While no product is perfect, I think you’ll find Shout Color Catchers to be pretty darn close. I have. Amazing little sheets.

Happy shopping!
