update >> new sale items >> anthropologie.com

thought i'd give an update on the anthropologie items i wanted last week...

ag polka dot ankle stevie

i tried these guys on.  adorable?  yes.  expensive?  double yes.  going to just have to take my chances for these to go on sale because i cannot justify nearly $200 on jean i may not like next year.

ribbon grass dress

this dress fit well, and was pretty cute, but something about the bloody red that i couldn't do.  no wonder it went on sale so quickly after arrival.

i am having a little anthropologie obsession right now.  i don't usually buy things full price, and i just cant stop right now.  then i get buyer's remorse when i see it go on sale a month later and beat myself up over how i didn't wait.  but, it could have sold out in my size by the time it goes on sale.  as you can see, it is a constant inner battle.

anyway, a little free shipping never hurt anyone.  anthropologie barely ever has promotions, so i even consider free shipping lucky.  last time i saw a promotion from them was over holiday.

my current battle is over polka dots.  take a look at a few items i am coveting now:

dropped dots dress

bedecked flouce tee

didn't you just see some more blue polka dots from me below?  yes you did, those guys are from anthro as well.  i already said i am having an anthro obsession right now!

new sale items >> anthropologie.com

anthropologie is probably my favorite store, but they aren't heavily involved in affiliate marketing.  i can never find coupons or cash back.  however, i have nailed down their sale schedule. 

tip of the post:  they add sale items ever tuesday.

and today they've added a dress i've had my eye on for a while.

ribbon grass dress

ag polka dot ankle stevie

the jeans are not on sale, but i might need to get them before they sell out.  they are me, right?

no savings yet, i need to go into the store because no free shipping, and i cannot commit without trying these guys on.

30% off sale + free shipping >> jcrew.com

holy hiatus, people.  sorry!

i just haven't had anything that compelling to tell you about.  i finally found some jeans at nordstrom.  love them, but this post is all jcrew.

tip of the post:  30% off jcrew final sale!  enter coupon code LOVEIT at checkout for 30% off final sale + free shipping over $100.  valid now through sunday march, 18.

jcrew usually does % of sale items, and you have to catch them at the right time to find some gems.  i luckily had been scouting a few items since full price, and was able to get them at a steal of a deal!

jcrew crochet lace-front tee

 my sister got this top months ago, and i was always envious.  now i have it too, and at half the price!

jcrew cotton waffle pullover

loved this in the store, but was in a rush and didn't have time to try it on, 30% off sale, okay worth the wait.

jcrew magic wallet in calf hair

if you don't have one of these for evening on the town in a small cross-body purse, you are missing out.

then of course, you've got to check ebates, and they are doing 6% cash back right now too, woohoo!

total savings:  30% + 6% cash back + free shipping

40% off + free shipping >> loft.com

stripes!  i obviously like stripes, and everything in this loft order was stripes.  i've already paired the blue shirt with my new ankle frye boots!

Wide Strip Boat Neck Top

Color Strip Block Polo Top

while the 40% off sale isn't happening anymore, there are always great deals at loft.com.  i've said it once, i'll say it again...

tip of the post:  NEVER buy anything from loft.com at full price.


i picked up my items at 40% off, but right now they are offering MAJOR markdowns, all below $20, so I suggest taking a peek.

i have my eye on this:

Henley Pocket Long Sleeve Blouse, only $14.88

start with wedges

new blog name

sorry for the confusion, but i really felt like i needed something a little more cutsie and fun.  your digital shopper, yes that is the purpose i will serve, but hopefully you will get a lot more out of this than digital shopping tips.

why start with wedges?  well, i am not a heel girl.  they are hard to walk in and uncomfortable.  in the past few years i have put in an effort to start wearing heels and be come more sophisticated.  so, many heel-wearing friends gave me the advice to "start with wedges".  love 'em!  so, i am on my way.  i think it is a good representation of a starting point and trying new things.  it also gives you an idea of what type of shopper and stylist i am.  so, you'll see purchases of wedges along with way and hopefully progression into some fancy heels.

i hope you enjoy!

how to >> use retailmenot.com

before clicking that confirm purchase button in your shopping cart, always look for online coupons.  the best coupon site that i have found is BY FAR retailmenot.com.  i've been using this website for 5 years, and they just keep getting better.  this is another one of those websites that is an affiliate.  like explained before in the ebates post, an affiliate is a website that gets a % of the sales that they direct to any ecommerce site that they have a relationship with.

unlike ebates, retailmenot.com doesn't HAVE to have a relationship with your favorite online shop for you to reap the benefits.  they post all kinds of coupons on their site.

it's easy.  this is usually how i use retailmenot.com:

1.  shop around and find the product i want

2.  perhaps find multiple stores that have the same product

3.  go to retailmenot.com and search all those stores to see who offers the best coupon that applies to your purchase

4.  click on the coupon code and it copies it for you and takes to directly to the website you are shopping on

4.  enter in the coupon code at checkout, and there is your fabulous savings!
