deal of the day: 25% off loeffler randall!

sigh. must they get more expensive every. single. season??

gorgeous nonetheless...and 25% off a new fall style is just about unheard of. i love that these shoes are having such a massive identity crisis that they'll end up going with everything. punk chic? sure. dressy business garb? why not. pencil skirt and ridiculously bright tights? definitely.

so, on sale, these beauties can grace your fall wardrobe for about $335...still heinously expensive for most of us, i realize. but i'm going to be coveting these every second until i own them, so there may be some wisdom to ending the torture now.

use code LOE25 to score this lovely deal from our friends at barefoot tess.

deal of the day: loeffler randall dorritt sandal, 40% off

i admit - i wasn't in love with these loeffler randall sandals at first. but i recently saw them in person, and dear readers, they are fa-bu-lous. truly. that rose gold color is just the right blend of spark and sophistication. and the styling gives a deferential nod to the current gladiator trend, but these will be wearable long after those roman sandals have gone the way of caesar.

score them from our dear friends over at barefoot tess for 40% off their retail of $395, taking them down to less than $250 - just use code 40OFF. but this deal is only good through monday, so move fast!

(ps...if the loefflers aren't singing your song, it's also worth a look at their french sole selection...they're all 40% off too, with that same 40OFF code!)

neiman marcus private sale event: today only!

this doesn't happen all that often, so even though it's so temptation-inducing that i actually feel a little guilty sharing with you all, i just can't resist.

today only, neiman marcus has taken 30% off select pieces from the fall '07 collections. the first call sale started yesterday too, but trust me...this is much, much better.

to find the goods, click here, and stay within that link, as it's invite-only. as usual, the site workings are annoying, and you do have to fish around a little...make sure your selections say "private event" below the pic before you buy - the price will be discounted when you put the item in your basket.

the loot in my basket (that i really, really shouldn't be buying:

that loeffler randall matilde boot i've been coveting all season (and best of all, this one's a pre-order, so i might be able to pass it off as an after-christmas extravagance).

a really gorgeous m by missoni dress that will be perfect this fall - of course, i'm just ordering it to try it on......really.

any number of diane von furstenberg wrap dresses - the good styles never go on sale, so this is fantastic!
a couple of really gorgeous vince cardigans - vince uses amazing, ultra luxe cashmere, so i always love to catch their designs on sale.

and yes, even the most fabulous of fabulous: manolos at 30% off. told you it was a good day!

i'd shop quick, and buy quicker...half the things in my cart already show as unavailable on the site.

oh, and use code PRIVATE for free slow-boat shipping while you're at it. happy wednesday!

and speaking of fabulous...

be sure to check out the interview TDO did with jessie randall, of loeffler randall. it's a really lovely interview, with lots of pictures of their gorgeous RTW collection. the pic at right is my first (no doubt first of many) love from the fall shoe line, the matilde boot.
