Sunday Funday just got a whole lot cooler: Karmaloop.com

Online shopping has, as of late, become one of my guiltiest pleasures. My secret obsession? Karmaloop.com. Karmaloop is basically the Urban Outfitter of the internet world, except with much nicer brands at WAY better prices. What's the main brand at Urban again?..."Silence and Noise"? My point exactly...At Karmaloop.com, you can expect to find anything from BB Dakota mini's to LeSportsac weekender bags, and the sales are never too good to be true.

The best thing about Karmaloop is, by far, the shoe section.  Brace yourself for an amazing deal. These adorable Rebel Footwear leopard-print platforms, (originally $64) are now reduced to $12.95. Like, is this real life?? There are thousands of deals to be had on the website, and I def wouldn't mind trading in one sushi lunch combo for a lifetime of happiness with these cuties.

I once found a pair of Tom's on the site for $5! Of course, I immediately thought it was a fluke or they'd be a Women's size 14, but the price was as real as K-Ci and JoJo in the 90's! The only drawback is that you have people all over the world trying to grab at this deal like it's challah on Shabbat and sadly, only two or three people will walk away satisfied.

Sure, some things sold on Karmaloop are a little awkward and off-putting...like, I just don't really know anyone that's on the market for 80's Neon Skate Wax, but hey, if you're into that sorta thing then now you know where to find it!

Last but certainly not least, if you're in dire need of some glitter lita's for 42% off, Karmaloop's got you covered.

For a cool 20% off use the rep code "ALF412" at checkout.
For free shipping over $100, use promo code "SUMMA".
And if you subscribe to Karmaloop emails, get a $10 code straight to your email.

PINK Nation: Everyone's Doing it

Paying for underwear is SO last season. I mean, who still does that?

Unless you have some strange obsession with Hanky Panky thongs, buying underwear is a waste of your hard-earned money. Why? Because Victoria's best kept secret is PINK Nation, an "exclusive" club (anyone can join) that hands out free undies like they're candy on Halloween.

Every single month, a cute little coupon will come in the mail and there's usually no purchase required to snag your new treasure. I literally have a stock pile in my underwear drawer...picking out undies has honestly never been so exciting!

Occasionally they give away water bottles, little stuffed pink dogs, beach bags and other goodies you'll probably never use but it's still nice to get them for free (or give them as last minute holiday gifts in moments of extreme desperation).

Tip: Sign your Mom up too and then double up on the freebies...because Lord knows (or hopes) she's not still wearing lacy low-rise hipsters or anything correlated to the word "cheeky"! All Mom's should be wearing these: ----------------------------->

So save your $5 for $25, join PINK Nation immediately and spend your savings on things in life that really matter...aka shots, cupcakes and sushi.

SAKS FASHIONFIX, the best thing since sliced bread

Fill your closet with pretty things without digging into your savings!

Ever heard of Saks Fashion Fix or Off 5th?? As the incredibly fashionable and wise Notorious B.I.G. once sang, "If you don't know, now you know".

The key to your new wardrobe can be found at http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/fashionfix/home.jsp
Every day at noon EST, a new online boutique at up to 70-90% off will open for only 24 hours. Depending on the boutique, you can get anything from Guiseppe Zanotti strappy heels to an Elizabeth and James dress at unbelievable prices. You have to be quick, though, because the really great stuff sells out fast.

Tip: If you like something, add it to your cart immediately! Saks.com will save the item for you for 10 minutes while you continue to browse and then you can decide if you actually want it later. Slow and steady definitely does NOT win this race. 

There's also an extensive "shop anytime" section which is like a Saks sale on crack. The best part? You don't have to rummage through lipstick-stained tank tops and awkwardly sized shorts on the sale rack to find the good stuff.

On top of your already-amazing savings, you can also apply a promo code at checkout. I highly recommend that you go ASAP to sign yourself up for the Saks newsletter. When you do, they'll email you a 10% off code good for your entire order! If you end up using the code and needing another one, make a new gmail account and sign yourself up again. It's really that simple.

Now, an entirely different demon on my shopping map is called Off 5th, the almost-as-pretty-but-not-quite outlet stepsister of Saks. There are 64 of these babies in the US, and I highly recommend that you find the one closest to you ASAP.

A store like this is perfect for timeless wardrobe staples like Sam Edelman boots, nude Stuart Weitzman pumps and J. Brands. On top of the in-store discounts, there are often coupons for 30% off a single item, so a nice pair of Hudsons will end up being around $50. Off 5th also has an extensive sunglass section, and I've never struggled to find a nice pair of designer aviators for no more than $40. 

Happy shopping!
