Hello there, shoppers! If you are bananas about “Mad Men,” not only the characters and their story lines but especially their clothes, you are in for a treat at Banana Republic.
Beginning August 11, in stores and online at bananarepublic.com, shoppers will be able to shop from the first-ever “Mad Men”-inspired collection designed by Banana Republic in collaboration with AMC and “Mad Men” Emmy® Award-winning Costume Designer Janie Bryant.
Inspired by the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning AMC series “Mad Men,” which returns for a fifth season in early 2012, the Banana Republic “Mad Men” capsule offers a modern take on the 1960s era with a Banana Republic spin. The collection features roughly 65 pieces of apparel and accessories for men and women.
“Working with Janie to gain a true understanding of the ‘Mad Men’ look and feel was a delight,” says Banana Republic Creative Director Simon Kneen. “Janie was instrumental in helping us achieve the series aesthetic and standard of authenticity with this capsule collection, offering sketches, her own inspirations and actual artifacts from the production set to help inspire the ‘Mad Men’ within all of us.”
The men’s collection includes knit sweaters, tailored suit separates and fitted trousers, as well as classic accessories including cotton pocket squares, silk ties, tie bars and fedora hats. The women’s pieces include chic trench coats, tailored dresses, high-waisted skirts, silk tie-neck blouses and statement accessories like leopard print pump heels.
For more on the collection, follow Banana Republic’s Facebook page and amctv.com/madmen.
Happy shopping!

PS. Don’t forget about Pretty People Vintage’s grand opening tomorrow, which includes a chance to win a gorgeous Marc Jacobs clutch!

BB Dakota Ponte Dress, $88 (southmoonunder.com)
Good morning, shoppers! Wow, Train must have brought this weather with them from San Francisco last night. Does the cool breeze have you feeling weak in the knees for fall fashions? So you don’t break the bank, here are some sales to get you started.
South Moon Under is offering a 20-percent discount on fall purchases of $150 or more in stores and online with the code “FALL20″ through Sept. 30. Judging by their Fall Look Book, this deal is really a no-brainer.
Lord & Taylor is also throwing out big fall savings during their aptly named Big Sale, with dresses selling for 25 percent off, ladies’ sportswear for 30 percent off, ladies’ raincoats for half off and more, including an extra 15 percent off on back-to-school styles and an additional 15-percent discount online with the code “BIG.”
If boots are what you’re after, you might want to check out the seemingly endless array of fall styles at endless.com. When you spend $100 on select styles, you’ll save 25 percent. Of course, free overnight shipping is always nice as well.
Later this week, Aug. 26-29, it will also be time to give back through your shopping with Gap’s Give & Get program. A nonprofit of your choice gets 5 percent of what you spend, and you score 30 percent off! For the savings online at gap.com, bananarepublic.com, oldnavy.com and athleta.com, use the code “PQV9TYWP2K8N.”
Then again, if summer styles are still on your radar, you might want to head on over to Madewell where you’ll find significant savings, too.
Oh, and don’t forget, if some cozy PJs are on your list, you could get some really good ones for less at Valerianne if you become a Facebook fan.
Happy shopping!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Taby Shoulder Bag, regularly $378, now $227 (cusp.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!
