Need a bathing suit - we've got you covered

Not what most of us are thinking about right now - fitting our after-Christmas bod into a teeny bikini and all.  But....if you're lucky enough to be going on a vacation after the holidays - you just might need one.  So we've tracked down a few retailers that are actually selling them this time of year.  Surprisingly, there are quite a few.

Vera Wang for Kohl's?

Is it true - that yet another big name designer is going mainstream?  Well......maybe.  According to the New York Times Vera Wang has been in talks with Kohl's to bring her "fashions to the masses." How big a boost would this be to Kohl's women's fashions? Huge, if you ask me. (1 comment posted)

After-Christmas sales are on now

Well Christmas has come and gone....hopefully without a hitch....and now it is time to do some serious ME shopping at all the after-Christmas sales.  The good news is - there's a ton of sales going on right now.  The bad news is - the good stuff is going fast.  So get out there and quickly because I am sure all that $$ you saved being a smart shopper this holiday season is starting to burn a hole in your pocket.

Talbot's Semi-Annual Sale

This one is for my mother.  Just a gentle reminder that Talbot's big winter sale starts today.  Well actually not officially until Dec. 26th, but if you go a few days early odds are things will be marked down and a lot less crowded.

Need a last minute gift - try an e-gift certificate

This is getting pretty desperate, but if you find yourself with no time and I really mean NO time you might want to consider purchasing an e-gift certificate from one of your favorite online retailers.  Seems a bit cheesy to me, but I guess if you are truly desperate......

Just add accessories

It's amazing what a necklace, some earrings, and a great pair of shoes can do for a plain jane outfit. Seriously, just when you thought you would put your guests to sleep - you throw on some great accessories and Voila! You're the life of the party.

Ordering something online for Christmas - don't delay

If you're still planning to shop online for Christmas gifts and you don't want to pay for rush shipping - you had better order soon.   Very soon.  After today many sites will no longer guarantee before Christmas delivery on items shipped standard and many free shipping offers are expiring as I type.

Red Envelope - a great place for gifts

This is one of my favorite places to shop online.  They have really great gifts for just about everyone on your list.  And now they've got this great RedBox Rewards program - the more you shop, the more reward certificates you earn.  How awesome is that?

Great deals at Boden

Cords at J.Crew

Looking for a great pair of cords?  Try J.Crew.  They've got them in a variety of styles & a ton of colors that look oh so good on.  Just ask my sister-in-law, she bought a pair of dream stretch bootcut cords in espresso.  She paid full price.  You can get them for $49.99 (reg. $78) if you hurry.  Sorry Renee.
