Elizabeth and James cuffed bootie - Reg $385.00/Sale $269.50 at Bloomies

My family just settled into a new space and during the move I decided to do away with a lot of stuff I’ve never used, hardly used or used too much — clothing incuded. I think it’s a great start to a clutter-free life. MB thinks it’s just a reason to get a whole new wardrobe. Well, there’s some truth to both theories and with the huge sales going on this weekend, I say let the shopping begin!

Check out these retailers to save on your fave designer wear:

Bloomindale’s Exclusive Online Sale - 25% - 40% off Now through November 14th

Saks Sneak Peek Sale - 30% to 40% off Designer Selections

DIOR, MARC JACOBS AND MORE..

Summer is outta here (at least in retail land) and now is the best time to take advantage of the great deals on designer wear. Saks and Bloomies have the best online sale, as usual, and I found four must-have pieces. Now, just because it’s online doesn’t mean you won’t need those quick reflexes you use at the in-store sales rack. As with any sale,  sizes and colors are limited so hurry hurry!

Pamper Yourself  and Your Little One this Mother’s Day: Just Leave a Comment Below for Your Chance to Win Mother/Daughter Treatment Kits

snf-milk-olive-collection-upclose

A few days ago I was laughing with my cousin Tammy, mom to a 3 going on 30 year old cutie pie, about how we now have one more gift-getting holiday. It’s my “first” Mother’s Day, and I’m looking forward to a diaper-free day and whatever my husband has planned (hint hint).

Personally, I think any mom with a baby or young kids would just be happy with a day of relaxation and pampering. That’s why we’re giving two readers the chance to win Mother/Daughter treatment kits from Sofn’ Free!  I love their GroHealthy product line because it’s  made with organic ingredients such as milk protein, olive oil and omega 3 to specifically treat Black hair. Plus, the Sofn’ Free n’ Pretty products for little girls are made from sunflower and olive oil to help hair grow healthy and strong. The treatment kits are easy to use at home or great to take along to the salon.

This contest ENDS Monday, May 10th so leave a comment  with an email address that you check frequently (email address will not show up on the site)  for a chance to WIN.
