Fall is here and I have shoes on the brain!
Overstock.com is a great site to shop at a discount (always!) for everything from furniture to kids’ clothing, to books, crafts (my fave!;-)), to women’s outerwear, clothing, handbags, jewelry, and shoes. It’s always a treasure hunt because you never know what you’ll find on sale there. Plus, they offer $2.95 shipping on your entire order! (And currently they’re also having a promotion for Free Shipping on Outerwear to a continental U.S. address!)
They’ve also shared with me a coupon code just for you:
Enter code 121728 at checkout
to receive 10% off your entire order!
So as I wrote, I’m definitely in the market for a new pair of shoes for Fall. But what should I pick? Boots made for stompin’? Demure little booties? High, high heels? Here are some items that caught my eye: (and the best thing is, they’re both under $43 if you use the coupon!!)
Go Max Prestige 8 Platform Stiletto Heels, $15.29 with coupon
Penny Loves Kenny Cavalry Short Boots, $32.39 with coupon
Maybe you’ll be able to find some other goodies there?

The other day, I received my prize for the Create Couture Challenge.
A huge box came to the door, and when I opened it up, at first I was confused, trying to remember when I’d ordered anything Alice + Olivia from Payless.
But when I opened the shoebox I was just stunned!
It was packed to the brim with DIY materials, accessories, and fabulous items!
An Alternative Apparel dress, 2 belts, 2 chiffon rose trims, 2 huge metallic flowers, a gold chain-link necklace, a thin flower headband, a large wooden belt buckle, 2 kinds of sweater trim, iron-on black metal mesh trim, black chain, iron-on anchor appliques, iron-on black rhinestone trim, a beautiful embellished bib necklace, and a lace-wrapped bead necklace! I am so excited and thrilled with all this…as you can probably guess, I’m going to do a DIY extravaganza with all this coming up soon!
Thank you so much, New York Design Shop, for your generosity! I am thrilled beyond words:-)

Do you love designer labels? Do you love snapping them up for a fraction of their retail price even more??
Well, if you’re anything like me, you’re going to love Labellush.com. Now as we all know, I’m a dedicated bargain-hunter, always looking for quality, wearability, style, and above all, affordability when it comes to choosing what I buy with my hard-earned money on. I have never, ever paid retail price for a designer label – often choosing to DIY what I can’t afford, and if I am going to buy it, it better be a steal off the rack to even tempt me.
Unlike all those flash sale sites, Labellush.com carries a hand-edited selection of designer and contemporary clothing – up to 85% off retail – that is available without a countdown timer. (*whew*)
Labels such as Vince, Theory, Elie Tahari, Catherine Malandrino, Oscar De La Renta, Nanette Lepore, Prada, and Chloe are all offered at a steep discount from from their original price points. Plus they offer FREE shipping on all orders within the U.S. – and FREE international shipping with the purchase of 4 or more items.
To celebrate the launch of their E-store, Labellush.com has generously offered to partner with Chic Steals to give away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky reader!
Now you may be thinking that $50 is not enough to buy any designer item. But they’re having a huge clearance sale right now and there are quite a few items that you can get for around $50 – once you also utilize the 25% OFF COUPON CLEARANCE good for any order (now until August 31).
How about this

I happened upon an amazing deal a little while back on the HauteLook website. I’ve never actually purchased anything from them before. (What I can say is they ship a LOT faster than RueLala or Ideeli, considering purchases from them have taken 4-6 weeks to arrive.) Now there’s so many “members-only” sample sale sites that I’ve pretty much lost track, and a lot of the good stuff sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.
The week in question they were having a sale for Shoes: $100 and Under, which are pretty much magic words to my ears;-) Normally I would have trouble finding something in my fairly common 7.5 shoe size, but this time I happened upon the most gorgeous pair of Velvet Angels shoes – and just kept refreshing the screen repeatedly, muttering little prayers all the while.
And finally, 7.5 was in stock!
I snapped up these beautiful Optima Wedges, original retail price $295, for just over $60. Unbelievable!
And what was more unbelievable to me when they arrived was the quality. Beautiful crinkled leather, unique molded mirrored platform, footbed with velvet-covered metatarsal padding, and a sheer weight to them that “felt” like luxury (which I know is really just a concept, but bear me out). Plus they came in a lovely sliding box, just like a little drawer, ready to go in my closet.
I can’t wait to showcase these in an outfit! I’m thinking a little romper…and something handmade… we’ll just have to wait and see!
Of course, the Peanut Gallery just had to take them out for a spin before I could.;-)
I think maybe I should go a size down?
If you’d like to join HauteLook and snag a similar “Wheeeee!” -inducing find for yourself, feel free to use my invite below:
Upcoming sales for this week include (Tuesday 8/17) Kate Somerville, t-bags, Custo Barcelona; (Wednesday 8/18) Sue Wong, Christopher Kon; (Thursday 8/19) Splendid, sky, and Fall Trends from Lucky Magazine (which I’m just dying to peek at!!)
Hope everyone’s having a great start to their weeks!

I love love love ASOS.com. Their clothing and accessories are always fashion-forward, well-designed, and their website has me drooling for hours. It was also not too long ago that the cost of having items shipped all the way from the UK to myself [on the U.S. West coast] was pretty daunting. Then they introduced their $9 flat rate shipping…but still I wavered.
All that is a thing of the past because readers – they are now offering FREE, yes, scot-FREE! shipping to U.S. addresses until September!! Is this a reason to jump for joy, or what?
The site offers so many brands (like Gap, Sam Edelman, Mango, French Connection, Kitson, Disney Couture, Free People, and Whistles) and their Fall ASOS line is just in. Plus, ASOS magazine, featuring Olivia Palermo, is brimming with eye-candy and delectable style.
Here are some of the things I’m lusting after now that I know shipping won’t cost a dime:
Check it Out Now!
(Free shipping both ways on all U.S. Orders through 8/31/2010)
Aren’t the snail earrings just adorable??
I meanwhile will be agonizing over the striped Whistles dress and the Contrast Cup Strappy Babydoll…which to get…which to get…?
