Hey there, shoppers! Happy Friday! Something magical happens when it’s the end of the work week AND it’s sunny and warm, doesn’t it? And, to top it off, the boss man treated us to some delicious coffee and bagels at the mag this morning. Yet, as per usual, the retail world is shooting to make things even more fabulous for all of us.

Just a few of the numerous deals I think you’ll dig this weekend …

Perhaps my favorite shopping event: the sneak preview sale at Saks! In stores and online today, designer apparel and accessories for men, women and children have been marked up to 40 percent off! I scored a perfect-for-a-spring-wedding Tibi dress for a steal — let’s just hope the hubby considers it a steal as well.

Ideal for those of you seeking staples for a steal: Aerie.com is offering a buy one, get one 50 percent off deal on t-shirts and tanks; calvinklein.com is offering 25-percent savings on summer shorts; and ae.com is offering all shorts for $24.99 and up, and t-shirts and tanks for just $10.

Good morning, shoppers! Happy Friday!

Ready for the snow? Whether you’re thrilled about the forecast or dreading it, chances are you’ll be spending a little more time than usual tucked inside your house this weekend. To help you from getting stir-crazy and eating a small country’s share of holiday cookies, what follows are a few of the super-fun finds I discovered on the Twittersphere, etc., this morning.

Just remember that random is not always bad.

The Great Eight of Fun Friday Finds:

1.) Fantastic gifts in the under-$100 category at neimanmarcus.com: Examples include the not-so-stylish, but super-functional Clocky (regularly $59, now 20 percent off), an alarm clock that lets you hit snooze once, but then, it’s all over … it jumps off of wherever it’s been sitting and rolls around all over the place, while beeping, until sleepyhead turns it off; and these handbag hangers ($28-$40, some now 20 percent off) that hook onto any table, preventing bar floor funk and the like from ruining fabulous accessories.

2.) Amazing prices on airfare to sunny spots like So-Cal and Florida: Examples found on twitter.com/dcfares include round-trip airfare from D.C. to West Palm Beach, January through March, at $169 (including taxes) and round-trip from D.C. to San Diego, January through March, for $216.

3.) Bargain boots just about everywhere: Places to check out include endless.com, which is now offering up to 45 percent off boots, shoes and accessories; Nordstrom and nordstrom.com, for lots of styles under $100; and Piperlime.com, which is also offering a bevy of boots for under $100.

4.) Flowers for less, now and in the future: 1800flowers.com is offering 15 percent off and a $15 savings pass to anyone places an order through Sunday and uses the code “GFT25″ at checkout.

5.) Serious sales at old standbys: Examples include up to 40-percent discounts on select items at Banana Republic, in stores and online; 20-percent savings on skincare and other beauty buys with code “DEC20″ at skinstore.com; and a buy one, get one for $10 deal on everything at Arden B.

6.) InStyle’s 100 Best Dresses of the Decade: Featuring party dress inspiration like I’ve never seen it before, this could keep you busy for hours.

7.) Good news for iPod shoppers: Beginning tomorrow in Wal-Mart stores, the 8GB iPod Nano will be reduced $5 and come with a $50 iTunes gift card — while supplies last through Dec. 24.

8.) Handbag Heaven: Check out the “It” bags on sale at Cusp and explore ebags.com, too, which is now offering a free second-day air shipping upgrade.

Enjoy! Stay safe on the roads and have a wonderful weekend!
