Fruits of Your Labor

Labor Day Sales are popping up everywhere and, thanks to feedback from a reader or two, we thought we'd tell you about the ones we run across.  This will be a constantly evolving post that will be updated as we find more and more deals for you.

ALDO has an extra 30% off all clearance sandals (online only) and free shipping on all orders over $75.

Think Her has 25% off Dogeared Jewelry (a fave of mine) with the coupon code LaborDay10 until September 6 and 20-50% OFF brands such as Ella Moss, PJ Salvage, Melie Bianco, Deux Lux & more.  Plus, they have free ground shipping on orders over $100 and they do not charge sales tax if your order is being shipped outside of California.

Benefit Cosmetics has free US shipping on any order for the next five days with the promo code LABORDAY at checkout.  If you've never tried Benefit, start with High Beam, That Gal and Lemon Aid.  You'll thank me later.

BCBG Max Azria has an additional 30% off all markdowns for their Labor Day Sale both in-store and online until Tuesday.

Madewell has added more styles to their End-of-Summer Sale and are offering free shipping on orders over $100 with the coupon code SCORE at checkout.  If you're new to Madewell, they are J. Crew's sister store. I particularly recommend the rail straight jeans, the neon lights belt,the scarfi creazioni panarea sandals, and the petal shoulder dress.  My blackberry romantic ruffle dress is a favorite of mine.

Gorjana's Private Sample Sale is today and there are a few really good deals left (up to 65% off).  Keep in mind that these are all final sale.

Our new friends at Dollhouse are also having a Labor Day Sale today through September 7, with 20% off all full-priced items using the code 20X5N6 at checkout.  They are also having a $10 Off Jeans Sale that ends tonight using code 1YF8YA at checkout. Some items we love there are in our last post.

Ideeli is having an M Missoni sale, starting tomorrow.  If you don't already have an ideeli account, they do have a free option.  The paid option gets access to sales 1 hour earlier and I would imagine some other perks.  Ideeli is also currently having sales on dolce & gabbana, d & g,  Versace, Jil Sander, Donna Karan shoes, Emilio Pucci shoes, Chloe sunglasses, Big Buddha shoes, da-nang, buco, Julie Brown, and blank nyc.

Tarte cosmetics is offering $10 off a purchase of $20 or more until sept. 6 using the promo code BDAY.  If you haven't tried this eco-friendly line, try the Tarte Starter Set, the Smooth Operator Tinted Moisturizer, and the 24-7 Lip Sheer.

Gypsy Queens

One brand we have fallen hard for this summer is Gypsy 05.  It is a special favorite of HippiChickiNiki whose handle is quite an apropos description for her easy boho-chic style.  Apparently, Niki isn't alone since this brand has been seen on Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Christina Aguilera, Denise Richards, Taylor Spreitler, Shay Mitchell, Sarah Drew, Lauren Conrad, Lisa Rinna, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicky Hilton, Kelly Rutherford, Khloe Kardashian, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kathleen Robertson, Vanessa Minnillo, Jennifer Stone, Kendra Wilkinson, Lady Gaga, Jana Kramer, Brianna Brown, Jessica Hart, Ashley Tisdale, Beverly Mitchell, AnnaLynne McCord, Whitney Port, Tori Spelling, Anna Kournikova, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen, Kim Kardashian, Haylie Duff, Lindsey Lohan, Hayden Panettiere, Selena Gomez, Ali Fedotowsky, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Jessica Alba.

HippiChickiNiki's particular favorites are the Bella Silk flutter maxi dress and mini dress, the Adela jumpsuit, the Nelly tube jumper, the Simple Organic maxi dress, the Rena Flutter-sleeve minidress, the Giselle maxi dress, the Marlee minidress, the Fara dress, the Emma tube long dress, the Gara silk flutter mini dress and the Horizon belted dress.  All of these would go beautifully with the ALDO Gorill gladiator sandals (now on sale!) that she wears quite frequently or her favorite Pedro Garcia Gem ankle wrap flats.  One of the Rebecca Minkoff Nikki bags we discussed on Friday would be a perfect match.  We also envision pairing them with Gorjana wrap necklaces or lariats, lots of bangle bracelets, huge hoop earrings and messy side ponytail or loose side bun to complement the effortless hippie style of the clothes.

Gypsy 05 is for sale at Singer 22, Shop the Trend Boutique, Black Label Boutique, REVOLVEclothing, ASOS, Amazon, Blue Heaven Boutique and on the brand's own website.

Have a Nightcap?

"Equal parts cozy and chic with a healthy pour of gypsy panache. Shake with a twist of beach babe and serve chilled..." That is how REVOLVEclothing.com Magazine describes the Nightcap clothing collection.  This Los Angeles based brand does exactly what designer, Carisa Brambles, set out to achieve.  It is full of pieces that are "comfortable and easy" and "that you want to wear out" just as she described.

We are in love with just about every piece in this collection.  They are all so comfortable and sexy.  Most notably, SPiCY (the trendsetter with eclectic, edgy style) loves the Trench Dress (in stone), the Twisted marine dress (which is what brought her to this brand in the first place), the Garter tights (which she wants to wear with EVERYTHING) and the Penny Pocket tank.  HippiChickiNiki (our resident boho-chic hippie) loves the Trench dress as well.  She is enamored with the Flamenco skirt, the Foldover short, the Baron dress, the Foldover tights, the Penelope dress, the Lace Cowl top and the Rosarito dress.

Nightcap clothing can be found at REVOLVEclothing, ShopBop, Pink Mascara, Black Label Boutique, The Trend Boutique, Saks Fifth Avenue, Singer 22 and on the brand's own website.
