Clinique Bonus at Saks Fifth Avenue

In case you missed the Clinique Bonus at Macy's, earlier this month you can still get a fantastic bonus at Saks Fifth Avenue. With a $35+ purchase, you get 9-piece set! If you're a fan of their YouthSurge moisturizer or their Repairwear Eye Cream, this bonus bag is perfect for you! They also have the bonus basics- the cosmetics bag, mascara, lipstick and eyeshadow colours. Enjoy!

Sale Time! Get Your Staples!

Hello Divas!

How are you wonderful people?  I hope fab, fab, fab!

Lately I have been receiving tons of emails advertising sales at some of my favorite luxe stores.  The beginning of the New Year is always the time to get luxe items at deep discounts.  Currently, Nordstroms, Saks, Loehmanns are having FANTASTIC sales on high quality jeans, dresses, and shoes.  Here are some of my lust items:

Helene Berman Floral Sheath Dress. Stunning. Just Stunning.  I always recommend that every Diva own a classic black Sheath Dress.  However, this Sheath with its artistic floral print is classic but so beautiful.  The hot pink, white, and black colors stand out and make this dress a winner.  It is definitely a "go to" item when in a crunch! Love it! This dress originally retailed for $218.  It is now selling for $129!

Stuart Weitzman Crisscross Platform Pump.  This pump is insane and only $166.  It is a Croc and Ostrich embossed leather platform pump with a stacked heel. A shoe like this by any other brand would cost you a cool $750 plus! This is a steal! This pump originally retailed for $355. As you Divas know, I am a Stuart Weitzman fan. I love his pumps! You get the same quality as Manolo or Jimmy Choo for half the cost! Love it! 

Jimmy Choo Peony Tall Leather Boots.  These boots are at Saks and are only $385! So attainable.  They originally retailed for $965! That is almost 70% off! Wowza!  

J Brand, Rag & Bone, and and 7 For All Mankind select styles are also selling for 50% off at Saks. 

Shop and enjoy!

Lancome & Saks Exclusive Deal!

Hello Divas!

I hope your life is fantabulous! 

Two luxe brands I adore, Saks and Lancome, are having a fabulous gift with purchase deal.  Buy $50 or more in Lancome products and you will receive a fabulous black mini bowling bag filled with samples of Lancome's best selling products.  You will get a Color Design eye shadow quad, Color Design lip color, my absolutely favorite Mascara, Defencils, and an anti-aging trio of facial products from the Renergie, High Resolution or Absolue Premium Bx Collections.

Look at all of the products you receive! This is an amazing deal! What Lancome products would I buy with my $50?  I am madly in love with their Color Fever Gloss in Hotness and I have been wanting to try Hynose Drama Mascara for some time.  I have Hypnose, which I love, but Drama has received rave reviews!  I can't wait to share my experience with you Divas!

This deal ends tomorrow Saturday, January 30, so hurry to Saks before this one ends!

I absolutely love that store. It is gorgeous!

Sale of the Century! Saks Fifth Avenue

Hello Divas!

I am back! I needed that holiday break! I hope your holiday was fantastic! Well of course I could not wait for the After-Christmas sales and boy was it ever worth the wait! I mean it is bananas! Every store is having a 50%-75% off sale. Some stores are having a sale on EVERYTHING! If you don't have a strategy when shopping these sales you can really go ballistic! But of course I went in with a strategy and stuck to it. I basically made a list of certain staple items that I needed to balance out my wardrobe. My logic is this: during this economic downturn when stores are literally giving away items, stock up on quality or luxury staple items that will stand the test of time. We all know that recessions come and go. So be smart and get the classic trench, black pumps, or luxe everyday bag at a deep discount. You will have these items forever.

Well my first and last stop while shopping was Saks Fifth Avenue. From now until after New Years, you can save 50% to 75% off on select designer items. I purchased a fabulous pair of Elie Tahari wide legged black pants that were originally $188.00 for $40! Amazing! Also if you shop in store or at their outlet Off Fifth, they are deeper discounts on already reduced merchandise. Here are a few staple items I would buy now if you don't have them already. And Divas, if you are experiencing shopping Nirvana this season, please share!

Black sheath. This Theory black sheath dress was originally $385. It is now selling on line for $231. A black sheath is a must for any Diva's closet.


Classic Trench Coat. I love this Brian Reyes Trench coat. The color and pattern is just gorgeous. This coat originally retailed for $1495.00. You can purchase it now for only $358.76.

Wide Legged Wool Trousers. These Milly trousers can go with anything! Dress them up for a night on the town. Or pair them with a fitted jacket for the perfect business attire. They originally retailed for $310.00 but they are now only $74. Divas this is a steal for a pair of quality wool trousers. Buy them!
