Why, ILORI, why? Just when I swear off designer sunglasses for good, you tempt me with the following offer:

The best part? It’s for CHARITY, people!

Donated frames will be given to OneSight(sm) a family of organizations devoted to helping those in need – both domestically and around the world.

Umm, how can I turn this down? Sure, I have broken/lost approximately 10 bajillion pairs of designer frames, but sunglasses are the foundation of any summer look  and I am itching to get my hands on a new pair.

Whenever I am wandering SOHO, ILORI beckons with they’re beautifully designed store and impressive selection. Perhaps I can persaude a Femme or two to make a venture there soon?

Call it the end of an era: eLuxury, the go-to shopping site for LVMH designer brands, is closing its doors.  In order to move a lot of its remaining merchandise, the site is having a sweeping clearance sale, with up to 80% off.

Happy shopping!

Because I know you all needed more things to spend your money on, I thought I’d call attention to the fact that Rafe New York is currently running a 40% off sale on EVERYTHING on their site, including both shoes and all their great handbags.  I’m a sucker for Rafe’s structured bags, and I think I might need to snap up the Abigail wristlet for running around the city this summer.  Enjoy!

Thirsting for the designers you love at frugal prices?  ShopBop to the rescue.

The online store is offering you a chance to save an additional 20 percent of sale items already marked down 70 percent.  So fill your virtual shopping cart with that Adam handkerchief halter that you’ve been eyeing, those Botkier zip-front boots and the high waisted Abaete Morgan pants.

All you have to do is enter 20OFF70 at checkout.

Happy shopping!

Adam, I love you.  Really, there’s no one quite like you for just-right fabulously slouchy sweaters and gorgeously tailored skirts.  But neither I nor my bank account can handle the ongoing torture of seeing the kinds of sales you keep posting on all my favorite items.  Have a heart.  It’s after Christmas, and I am still reeling from the madness.
