Lots of shopping news!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been gone so long. But I come bearing lots of good news (and lots of text), including a sweepstakes!

First off, I hope you all have had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. And if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a great week anyway.

So, down to business. I have a link from ShopIntuition.com to a "secret" landing page. On this page, you can enter a sweepstakes for a $100 gift card for the website! Entries are due by December 3 (so my bad for taking so long with this, but you've still got like... 5 days?) and the winner will be notified on Dec. 4th. Good luck! Shop Intuition also has their annual shopping guide up. I always find shopping guides useful, especially when I have NO idea what to get someone.

Second -- and this is what I'm most excited about -- De*Nada's online store is opening! When I first wrote about De*Nada and its designer, Virginia Arrisueno, I mentioned that the store was soon to open. So tomorrow, November 30, go to denadadesign.com and check out the entire Autumn and Winter '09 collections. Best part of it? They ship worldwide!! Happy shopping!

Camilla Alves in Isabelle Oliver

If you guys remember, Isabelle Oliver sent me a shirt to review a few months ago. Well, I recently saw a picture of Camilla Alves wearing a dress from their line! (Remember, they used to only do maternity clothes.)


She looks absolutely adorable! I especially like the long blazer paired with that dress. The dress is actually on their website, so if you know someone who is preggers (or you are!) and would like it, you can get it.

Speaking of which, they're having a sale on their website... It's 20% off with a special code:

Free shipping at Gilt Groupe today!

It's Gilt Groupe's 1st birthday, so they're offering free shipping today, November 13th from 12:01 am to 11:59pm, Eastern Time. I've heard that their shipping costs can run a little high, so now's the time to order if there's something you've had your eye on this past week!

Eastwick cancelled :(

ABC always cancels the shows I love the most: Traveller, Lipstick Jungle, The Unusuals... and now, Eastwick.

Ah, well, it was good while it lasted. :(

Luella goes under

If you haven't heard yet, it looks like Luella's on the outs. All items are 50% off on their website. Apparently, the investors decided they weren't going to back the clothing line anymore... but I also heard that there were some offers from other investors, so maybe it isn't the end?

In memoriam, and in hope, let's take a look back at past collections:

I got an email from someone at shopintuition.com about Katie Cassidy wearing a bomber jacket. (Uh... who is Katie Cassidy? Someone help me out here, lol.)


But anyway, the jackets featured in the email are pretty hot, so I figured I'd share them with you guys. Chiggedy-check 'em out:


This is the jacket Miss (Ms.? Mrs.? Really, I have no idea who she is!) Cassidy is wearing in the picture above. It's pretty dope... I can't remember how much it costs though.

I'm not a big fan of the crinkled look, but you might be. I'd have to see how it looks on. Anyway, all these jackets are available on shopintuition.com, so if you've been in the market for a leather jacket that's a little different from what's out there right now, take a look!

P.S. I'm not getting anything out of writing this post. (Unfortunately...?) I just really liked the first jacket.

Bright colors, oh YES. (Matthew Williamson, Mary Katrantzou, Topshop Unique)
