Denim Bar to Celebrate Five in Style
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, April 30th, 2010
Hi there, shoppers! Happy Friday! Yes, the day we’ve been dreaming of is here! Speaking of dreams, Denim Bar is celebrating its fifth birthday today, throwing one dreamy party tonight that I’m guessing you’re not going to want to miss.
After all, you may fondly recall your fifth birthday party (serious kudos if your memory is that stellar), but wait until you hear how Denim Bar is ringing in five years. From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. this evening, the store will be serving up complimentary hamburgers, hot dogs and brews. And, how’s this for a party favor? Spend $100, receive 25 percent off!
Happy Birthday, Denim Bar! Here’s to many more years of success and fabulous parties!
Have fun, shoppers!
Ps. If you’re looking for some web sales to surf, take note that the skinstore.com 20-percent-off sale ends Monday, so use the code “MOMSDAY” while you can. Also, just a little heads-up that Arden B is offering a site-wide buy one, get one for $15 offer (also available in stores).
Last-Minute Sales on NYE Ensembles

Good morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you all had a terrific holiday weekend with all of those who you love most — and that you enjoyed Sally’s posts as much as I did last week. Just in case you’re excited for the next big holiday celebration coming up this Thursday but nowhere near what you’d call “prepared for it” in terms of your wardrobe, here a few special offers that may just wow you:
First of all, the After-Holiday Sale at Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets is going on now through Sunday, Jan. 3. Some stores you’ll definitely want to visit for some festive frocks and accessories: BCBG Max Azria (featuring 30 to 70 percent savings store-wide), Kate Spade (offering 30 percent off each shopper’s entire purchase), Maidenform (offering 50 percent off select bras, plus additional savings on shapewear and underwear). Note: All stores are open until 9 p.m. through Wednesday, until 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.
Then again, if you’re forced to shop online, no worries, you’ll also find oodles of outstanding options. Check out the incredible designer dresses available on shopbop.com, for starters. You’ll also want to explore the beautiful bounty at cusp.com and at nicolemiller.com, which is now offering free express shipping through noon on Wednesday.
Looking for even bigger bargains? Arden B is offering 30 percent off select dresses plus $2 2-Day Shipping online.
As for shoes to complete your lovely look, you should have no problem finding hard-to-resist, absolutely stunning stilettos all over the place. I especially suggest exploring endless.com (featuring many styles now offered at up to 45 percent off plus free overnight shipping), theshoehive.com (yes, the Alexandria gem now offers online shopping) and Neiman Marcus and neimanmarcus.com (prepare to drool!).
Finally, for a cool clutch to carry all of your essentials, feast your eyes on the sale merchandise at Laurenmerkin.com.

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!

Good morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you all had a terrific weekend despite Friday and Saturday’s rain. That kind of weather makes for prime indoor shopping time, right? At any rate, just as I try to do at the start of every work week, here’s some shopping- and fashion-related news that should help you squash those Monday blues.
First of all, if deals are what would delight you … Neiman Marcus is currently hosting their online Last Call clearance sale, which translates to designer savings of up to 65 percent off; you can also score free shipping from NM by entering “NMAUG” at checkout.
Also enticing: Select undergarments are now marked up to 50 percent off at freshpair.com for both men and women, where shipping is free on U.S. orders; at shopbop.com, you can now snag an additional 30 percent off items already marked 70 percent off with “300FF70″; and everything at Arden B, in Pentagon City and online, is buy one, get one 50 percent off (items of equal or lesser value) through the end of the day.
For those of you always intrigued by celebrity-designed duds, make sure to keep tabs on matchesfashion.com today. According to People, Gwyneth Paltrow’s seven-piece capsule collection of easy-to-wear basics for ZOEtee’s, “ZOEtee’s LOVES Gwyneth Paltrow,” is to debut there today, with all proceeds from the line to go to one of the fashionable star’s favorite children’s charities.
Finally, if you’re all about fashion-focused shows on the small and big screens, you’re going to want to set that DVR or stay up late for tonight’s “Late Show with David Letterman,” as Anna Wintour will be there to chat about the new documentary film feature “The September Issue,” about the making of Vogue.
