Their inventory is GIGANTIC and affordable!

Another great perk is they offer Free delivery and shipment in 5 days. Some well known brands on the site are Watters, After Six, DaVinci, Alfred Sung, and more..

From just glancing at the home page, dresses were all listed at Under $200.. That’s SO cheap.

I really love the Oscar dress section where you can buy a knock off of what the stars wore to the Oscars.

Another favorite section is Maternity Wedding Dresses.. That just makes me laugh.. (sorry if this applies to a reader)

If you’re getting married, check out the blog Wedding Tactics. Here’s an entry that talks all about the Alfred Angelo wedding gowns.

HauteLook has been featured on Fox, Extra, Los Angeles Times, Daily Candy, Elle, CW, WWD, and more.. Seems media and shoppers alike are enthusiastic about this online shopper’s delight.

When you sign up, you’ll get daily emails about who the featured designer is and when the sale starts..Since I’m on the east coast, I quickly realized the emails mention Pacific time for the sales..

Some previously featured deisgner’s are: Alexis Hudson & Joie, Raw 7, OnGossamar, Morphine Generation and many, many more..

Check out this new look of Scarlett Johansson and vote on if she still looks like a goddess or has gone blind.

A few months ago I signed up for a service called Shop It To Me. Basically, you say what size you are and what stores/designers you like, and once a week or how ever many times you want to receive them, you will get an email where Shop It To Me has scoured the internet looking for clothes and shoes in your size that you may like..

I always get excited to see what they’ve brought me…

To sign up, go to www.shopittome.com

Select your favorite apparel brands (such as Theory, Prada, Armani, Ella Moss, Juicy Couture, Seven Jeans, DKNY, or BCBG) and sizes. They’ll check all the websites of leading retailers like Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, Banana Republic, Gap, Zappos and Bluefly and send you a Salemail™ - a daily or weekly email summary of which new items go on sale in your size.

** NOTE: Some of these sales I received were HOT…so when I went to click on them they were sold out already… So these are really good deals..

If you like a good deal, check out the blog Frugal Mania.

At Banana Republic’s homepage, www.bananarepublic.com, enter to win a GRAND PRIZE of $2,500 Banana Republic shopping spree and up to $250 each time you play. You can play daily to win. The contest ends September 3rd.

For more information on Banana Republic read on..

Since I am a petite woman and not 40 years old, I love the young and stylish fashion of Banana Republic.

Budget Hint: You can get some great deals in the Banana Republic clearance section. But if this is still too much or you don’t want to buy online - A great idea is to check out their New Arrivals, Going Out, and Stylish Work sections to see what they have paired together for outfits and what’s hot now — then try to replicate the outfits somewhere cheaper..

Good Luck with the contest and making your own budget stylish Banana Republic outfits!!

My vow with the Bargain Styling blog is to never feature an outfit from one of these stores. I will feature accessories from those stores because they are not as recognizable. My featured store today is Lulu’s Fashion Lounge. They have very cute outfits for reasonable prices.

The clothes were bold, fun and trendy. Most of the time they had Esprit blazoned all over them but at 12 that was the point of my clothing choices. A couple of years ago, much to my delight, they opened a store in Manhattan. I anxiously awaited the funky, bright colors that permeated my middle school life and when it finally opened I made a point to go their as soon as possible. Imagine my disappointment when I went to the store and saw a sea of black pants and monochromatic shirts. What happened? My beloved clothing line was boring.

Today I find Esprit totally mundane. Occasionally, when I find my way into the store or on their website, I find a cute piece but it tends to be accessories. This week they are having a 20% off sale if you use coupon code Labor 07. Below is a cute bag and belt that I found in the sale section. At an additional 20% off they are a definitely a bargain.
