PLEASE NOTE: This post is from November 2011, and after this post was published Colourme.com continued to do business online for a few months. On July 6, 2012 I was alerted by one of my readers that their website has been down for quite some time, and there is no information on where the company went. I have not yet been able to track down the story on Colourme.com, but it’s looking like now the company may have gone out of business. Sometimes online retailing is not a long-lived endeavor.

You guys may have noticed a new banner in my sidebar: that’s from ColourMe.com, a brand-new one-stop online accessories shop. Having just launched at the end of July they’re new on the scene, but offer a great selection of jewelry, handbags, scarves, belts, and watches, all entirely merchandised by color. This way it becomes easy to accessorize your wardrobe in a variety of different hues, all with the simple click of a button!
The interface tiles items in a similar way to Pinterest, so shopping becomes faster and more visually appealing. They also offer their exclusive “Matchmaker Tool” (above): a clickable tab in all item subcategories that allows you to compare two different items and coordinate them color-wise as you shop. They also offer designer fragrances (and bags by Big Buddha in addition to their own line) – and nothing is over $150.
They have great discounts the more items you buy; purchase 2, 3, or 4 items of the same color & receive 10%, 15% or 20% off your order respectively. Shipping is a $5 flat rate to all U.S. customers, and you get Free Shipping with orders of $75+.
With December only a few days away, now is a great time to snag a pretty, sparkly bauble for your next holiday party – or gift to that special someone. (I’m coveting that gorgeous nude-colored Floret Bag and their yellow Goldenrod Necklace – so pretty!) If you missed out on winning the giveaway ColourMe.com generously hosted here on Chic Steals, you can still get in on the action with the following coupon code:

So Black Friday – and one of the biggest shopping weekends – of the year is coming up, and I’m planning on spending it online. Are any of you planning on braving the crowds at any retailers? Are there crowds? I wouldn’t know, as I have not once bothered to set foot outside on Black Friday, preferring to just surf the internet and grab some deals here and there.
PORTLAND LITTLE BOXES SHOPPING EVENT
But! If you happen to be in my lovely city of Portland, Oregon, from 10 AM until 8 PM on Friday, November 25 you’ll be able to take advantage of LITTLE BOXES, an amazing indie shopping event happening here, with more than 60 local boutiques participating. Bring your receipt from one participating boutique – and receive 10% off your purchase at any other participating boutique (so far, the list includes Portland mainstays such as Radish Underground, Mabel and Zora, Frock, Modern Domestic, betsy & iya, PedX, IDOM, Sock Dreams, tumbleweed, Manifesto, Porch Light, Flutter, and Eden). Plus just by showing your receipt you’ll also receive raffle tickets to win some great prizes, including an iPad! You can get the latest list and a map of the stores here or follow the event on Facebook – and the whole event is for a great cause: encouraging people to shop locally and put their money back into this economy, instead of at those Big Box Stores.
So besides this event, there’s also some great deals happening around the Internet:
From 11.24 – 11.28:
Everything’s marked down! Buy one pair of jeans, get the second half off. 20% off any order with code CY2, and Free Shipping with code CYFS. Or you can get $20 off any order over $75 with code 75AFFNA. (Requires a bit of math to figure out which is more lucrative, but either way you save!
25% off and FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $65, PLUS when your order total reaches over $100 you get a gift code for $10; over $150 you get a code for $20; over $250 you get a code for $40! USE CODE: BLACKFRI
On 11.26 – 11.27:
All the same codes and offers apply; just use code: BLACKWKD instead. (Cause it’s the weekend, right?;-)
On 11.28:
30% off plus FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $65, PLUS all the previous gift codes mentioned above still apply for order totals..AND if you totally go crazy and cross everyone off you holiday shopping list by buying $350+ …you’ll get an additional 10% off. USE CODE: CYBERMON
Get $15 off a purchase of $60 with code Thanksgiving1; $25 off a purchase of $90 with code Thanksgiving2; and $35 off a purchase of $120 with code Thanksgiving3. And Free Shipping, always!
Hope that gets your shopping engines started!
Tomorrow’s Thanksgiving and I’m all geared up for Tofurkey!:-D
Most awesome video ever. Not sure which I’m more in awe of – the myriad ways to style a scarf, or the amazing editing. If you’re intrigued, as I was, you can see read how they did it here (criminy, look at that After Effects Timeline!!!).
Fashion + Video inspiration = priceless.
