Mad About Mid-Week Sales

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! While you may be dying to dive into fall-focused shopping after yesterday’s discussion of fall trends, I figured you also don’t want to miss some of the best end-of-season summer sales. Here are a few that could make your hump day especially happy:

At Cusp right now the season’s most covetable styles are selling for up to 65 percent off regular prices!

Still reading? Saks has also drastically reduced prices on select contemporary designer apparel for their August Sale — up to 40 percent.

Also super cool: The Dandelion Patch is offering free personalization on any in-stock stationery purchases made during the entire month of August! I don’t know about you, but I think personalized stationery is always a great gift!

Have a kiddo getting ready to head to college soon? Target is offering major deals on dorm furniture and accessories through Sunday. Also, calvinklein.com is offering 20-percent savings on all bedding — today only.

Back to that summer wardrobe, California-cool veronicamclothing.com is offering 40-percent savings with the code “SUMMER40.”

And you can even save on your favorite beauty buys. If you place an order at esteelauder.com through Aug. 5, you’ll receive four deluxe samples — seriously deluxe — plus free shipping on orders over $50.

Happy shopping!

Ps. Today’s Specialicious deal is perfect for a little post-shopping noshing: $20 for $40 worth of food AND wine at The Wine House in Fairfax!

Good morning, shoppers! Can you believe we’re to get more snow today? Ugh. Fortunately, there is happy news to share when it comes to another subject having to do with white stuff … Daily Candy has just unveiled their latest site, Daily Candy Weddings! And, not only that, but they’ve teamed up with Crate & Barrel to offer the $100,000 Ultimate Wedding Contest! All of the details are here, including the scoop on the seriously awesome prizes for the runners-up, including the honorable mention winner.

That’s not the only good news to share today, though. Get a load of these sales:

Skinstore.com: The code “LUV20″ will snag you a 20-percent discount on a boatload of skincare and other beauty items site-wide. Speaking of skincare, if you haven’t entered our Sensational Winter Skin Contest, do so now. For simply sharing your winter skin saviors, you could win a $100 gift card to Beau Totale Salon & Spa!

Oh, and a few reminders:

First, remember Crystal Couture is happening this week. Were any of you able to check out the first-night festivities last evening?

Second, ladies, don’t forget that this Saturday is the Old Town Boutique District’s Warehouse Sale! You DO NOT want to miss it!

Third, the wait is almost over. Tomorrow night, we’ll be able to shop the winning line of Launch My Line at 10 p.m. on Rue La La, right after the show (Bravo, 9 p.m.)!

Ps. Speaking of fashion-focused television, did any of you catch the premiere of Kell on Earth last night?
