Gold and tortoise details on the Marc Jacobs Karen python bag give the chain look new life for fall. |
Okay, so I won’t be dropping nearly three thousand big ones for my latest bag obsession, but a girl can dream right? Marc, are you out there? I love you!
Bargain blowout

Like most gals, I love a good sale. But I don’t like when bargain hunting is a huge effort. A good sale is when you pick up a pair of shoes they’re 50% off. A bad sale is picking through a rack of leftovers that look trampled ten times over in the dressing room.
No matter what your patience level for finding the deepest discounts, now is the time to find all kinds of worthwhile sales. My favorite place to look is online, where retailers like eLUXURY and Net-a-Porter have slashed prices on everything from Marc Jacobs bags to Chloe dresses. Even fashionistas on a budget (that would be me!) can find some interesting things for about a hundred bucks and even better items for just under $200.
My favorite sale item right now is this Miu Miu crochet handbag. Okay, so at $416 it doesn’t actually qualify as a bargain, but it’s marked down to half its original price so I’d say it qualifies as a pretty good sale item. You can get your hands on this fun little number at
