But, to my delight, the Rebecca Minkoff “Stud Devote” Belted Tote showed up in my Salemail this morning at 33% off. And I couldn’t love the “Plum” color more! This bag (originally $695, now $464) was instantly added to my Holiday Wish List! So, Mom, if you are reading this…

Hurry, hurry – scoop one up for yourself or a loved one! I know it’s early, but this has got to be the most perfect holiday gift for your favorite fashionista. Happy Shopping!

        

Great plaid styles shown above:

Free People ‘Love On Me’ Umbrella: Reg: $48.00, Now: $29.95

Patterned rain boots are cutesy and fun, while solid colors can be effortlessly thrown on…which do you prefer?

(Left) J.Crew Ptinted Tie-Front Wellies: Reg: $49.50, Now: $29.99

(Right) Ugg Australia ‘Rubber/Shearling’ Rainboots: Reg: $150.00, Now: $105.50

My personal opinion: I’m a big fan of the pink bow and polka dots, but the comfy lining that the Ugg boots use has won me over!

        

But that doesn’t have to keep you from enjoying big, beautiful blooms! Floral accessories are everywhere right now and the theme is the bigger, the better. This bold, happy necklace showed up a post by The Sartorialist Monday. (Love the caption, too, “Paris In Bloom”.)

And recently our Trendsetter The Pinky Feather found this glorious Valentino bag in her Salemail!

The Valentino tote is now sold out, but here are a few other great floral accessories — an instant way to brighten up your day.

Those of you who are familiar with theOutnet can join in our glee. They have the most amazing selection of brands (think 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs, Primp, Alice+Olivia, and tons more), all at crazy sale prices. And something about the way they photograph their clothing – cleanly laid out on a stark white background – makes each piece look so appealing.

For the uninitiated, here are a few of their items from today’s Salemail:

1. Primp frog print tank, Reg: $70, Now: $21
2. 7 for All Mankind bootcut stretch jeans, Reg: $155, Now: $78
3. T-Bags embellished t-shirt dress, Reg: $245, Now: $122
4. Temperley London tiered mini dress, Reg: $1,255, Now: $502
5. Marc by Marc Jacobs logo-print bikini, Reg: $158, Now: $79
6. Jovovich-Hawk Veronica dot dress, Reg: $325, Now: $98

No action needed in order to add theOutnet to your Salemail. As long as you’ve selected brands they carry, the retailer’s items will appear as soon as they go on sale in your size!

        

These are the bags that appeared this morning. The Juicy Couture and Foley + Corinna bags are for the full-fledged fringer and the Botkier bag is a nice choice for a more restrained approach. All are adorable. How amazing is the long chain strap on the Foley + Corinna creation?
