The Basement of the Bargains

How’s your hair? Mine is nice, but I love to add a little something to it to finish up a great look. That requires some attractive things to give that special touch. Of course, you don’t want to spend a fortune on them. It’s easily possible to spend over a hundred dollars on a single headband. Me? I wouldn’t spend that much. After all, why buy one at full price when  you can get two to four at a discount?

Here are a few options if you want the look but dislike the full prices.

The Cosmos by Marc Jacob is a delicate plastic band with a matching translucent, rhinestone-studded star. It comes in your choice of coral (shown), jet blue, or talc (white).

The retail price on this baby is $78.00, which is more than I would pay. Now that Nordstrom has marked it down to just $45.90, I’m seriously considering it.

One day only! Everything at Bluefly is 15% off their already slashed prices!

Take a look at this deal:

These gorgeous double-buckled leather gloves by Portolano are lined in knitted Merino wool. Both buckles are adjustable for a nearly custom fit. What’s more, the look is stylish in the extreme now, but won’t look silly in a few months or a year. You’ll be able to wear them for years to come.

The original price was $165.00, which is not at all a bad deal for such a perfect investment. Still, Bluefly has been selling them for $99.00, which is much better. But just for today, you can get them for just $84.15! That’s nearly half off the original price!

Not in need of gloves? Not to worry! Everything else is on sale, too. You’ll find gorgeous goodies by Marc by Marc Jacobs, Furla, Tory Burch, Kenneth Jay Lane, and dozens of other top designers.

But hurry! Tomorrow the sale goes away.

Marc by Marc Jacobs, that is.

This superfantastic terrycloth Marc by Marc Jacobs dress with it’s double-breasted closure and ivory piping is the perfect way to keep cool in the final days of summer. Choose the Madras Red (shown) or Earth Red. Either way, you’ll look charming and cool.

Oh, and since the summer is waning, you can get a great deal on it right now. Originally priced at $178.00, it’s been marked down to just $70.90 at Saks Fifth Ave.

I think most of us can absorb that pricetag!
