RevolveClothing.com sale, Intermix sale

Revolve Clothing has put a whole slew of things on sale. If you like Ella Moss or Juicy Couture dresses, you can't miss this one. In related, more boring news, Intermix has put like, 20 things on sale. I am trying very hard not to do more shopping and save up funds for shopping on my summer trip. ! We're going to Seoul, South Korea, on a total whim due to the awesomely low fares on Singapore Airlines. I actually know very little about South Korea, so if anyone has been to Seoul and has recommendations for me, I'd love to hear them! I'm already planning on getting a new mobile phone and maybe a Samsung laptop...

A potential favorite site: TheOutnet.com

Net-A-Porter's sale site TheOutnet (get it? haha) launched today amidst much anticipation and fanfare. I think this site is going to give BlueFly a run for its money, since BlueFly's discounts on super designer goods isn't usually more than 30%. Sad, because I remember when BlueFly launched, and it was a gem of a shopping experience. Also, TheOutnet has all of NAP's fabulous brands, like Alberta Ferretti, Marni, Louboutin, and Miu Miu!

The Outnet is also doing these things called "Flash Sales" which will definitely conjure up comparisons to the ever increasing online sample sale sites. I missed it, but there was one today to whet the appetite, and apparently the items went faster than free t-shirts at a college career fair. The next one, featuring spring dresses, goes live next Friday, Apr 24. Mark your calendars, let's see what this site's got!

Charles P. Rogers sheet sets, buy 2 get 1 free

I have looked longingly at Charles P. Roger's wooden sleigh beds for the past 3 years. These beds are rock solid, gorgeously hand-made, and exceptionally 'worth it'-- they totally kick the stuffing out of Pottery Barn's cheaply-made-yet-expensive sleigh beds, which feel flimsy to me. And although I haven't pulled the trigger on the Hamilton, I have bought sheets from them-- and they are fantastic. You can't beat the value: a palatable price for sheets that are probably just one notch below SFERRA/Bellino/Frette quality.

Right now you can even get 1 set free when you buy 2. If you are on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Pima sets, but if you are looking to splurge a little, I highly recommend the Candide sheets (and get both Chambray & Stripe b/c together it looks gorgeous!). Ends Thursday, Apr 30.

W Hotels warehouse sale +20% off

W Hotels is offering an additional 20% off their warehouse sale with code "F6VE7". May I recommend looking at some of the Abas clutches? I actually got this casual-chic pink Emma and the 'sassy croco' taupe full-frame which I think will be perfect for weddings. At $64-66 each (after discount), that makes it at least 68% off retail. And for those who rock it 80's style, this one is only $35!

Gilt.com $10 off

InStyle previously ran promo with Gilt.com that gave readers a $10 credit to be used before a certain date. I believe it is still in action-- I did it yesterday and saw $10 applied to the Jawbone bluetooth headset I bought today (in pink, no less!). (My very reliable geek friend, who owns a convertible, says it's the best on the market at eliminating background noise. How can I say no to a testimony like that?)

Just click here and log-in, and you should have a $10 credit waiting for you upon your next purchase (provided it isn't expired).
