We’ve just added DesignsbyStephene.com, a cute online boutique that has GREAT denim sales (and more)!
Today in my Salemail, I received updates that True Religion jeans went from $240.00 to$179.99, Joe’s Jeans went from $158.00 to $99.00, and wow — they don’t just sell jeans — tons of Splendid tees on major sale!
I’m excited to continue seeing sale items come pouring in from this site –my selection just broadened (and my Salemail became all the more dangerous…)
And looks like they even have their own blog, Fashion Of The Stars for guidance on what’s new and in.

Looks like our network went down for a 1/2 hour today. Luckily our amazing development team found the problem and resolved it so quickly you probably did not know anything was wrong! But If you see anything unusual (besides our unusually great deals! :)), please let us know!

When does impulse-shopping most often get the best of you?
In his blog post last week, Scott Silverman, Executive Director of Shop.org, drew my attention to an entertaining and relevant article originally written by Monica Corcoran in the LA Times. “Shopping While Drinking: Retail Happy Hour” hilariously highlighted people who BUI - Buy Under the Influence!
Jokingly, Corcoran explained that for some, “Friday nights involve vodka tonics and a hot date with NeimanMarcus.com.” The article included great quotes from various women who make online clothing splurges after enjoying a few cocktails. My favorites were:
“When I drink and shop, I always think I am a size smaller, and I go for much funkier clothes than my usual black dresses”
“These boxes show up, and I am, like, ‘Oh, my God. I did it again.”
“It’s fun, and it’s the only thing you can do after a few drinks and not have any regrets…You don’t wake up in the morning and panic and think, ‘What did I buy last night?’”
Interestingly, roughly 10% of Shop It To Me emails are first opened in the night-time hours. Luckily, seems that not too many of you are insomniacs!
…But I do agree that perusing new clothing deals can be a great way to pass time on those restless nights….

Mother’s Day is coming up quickly — May 11 will be here before we know it! And that means finding a gift that is 1) is personal enough, 2) fits, 3) is age-appropriate, 4) has a light and airy springtime spirit, and 5) is overall perfect (or as close as possible) for stylish Mom.
Those five requirements aren’t exactly easy to meet — especially if you are contemplating buying clothing!
I did come across a few non-clothing items (accessories, jewelry, etc) from my Shop It To Me email that I’m considering and thought I’d share with you. They may be perfect for your mom too, or at least spark some ideas.
If you’re considering a non clothing related gift, a few of our Trendsetters and friends had suggestions.
Regina Lewis has a recommendation for the “Best Florist Ever”
Geek Sugar told us about some cool looking Hallmark recordable cards
iVillage Steals & Deals recommended a terrific Spa-related gift site
Any other great suggestions aside from the typical flowers and a card?

Have you seen Free People’s website? So colorful, cheery, youthful, and fun!
With Free People being one of the most popular brands selected, items from freepeople.com are now included in Sale Mails.
I personally was thrilled to see these photos — they brightened my day! Love the boldness in color.
Now I just can’t decide which is most fun — maybe the last one because it’s called the Tam Tam Tank — like Tamra?!

Did you see Shop It To Me in Glamour magazine’s “Slaves to Fashion” blog?
This post by Glamour’s senior style editor, Jenny Feldman (thanks Jenny!), sparked some great conversation about sale-shopping.
What about you? Do you always shop the sale section, or do you now just rely on your SaleMail?
