SAVE THE DATE: April 26-28 ~ Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Clothing Sale

Posted on April 5, 2012 | Leave a comment

Need to update or add a few new pieces to your wardrobe?
Be sure to mark the next Sharon Young and Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse sale (April 26-28) on your calendar. The sale will feature 1000s of items from their spring clothing collection at big discounts. This is their biggest sale of the year and it’s definitely worth the drive to Dallas!

Personally, I am a big fan of this sale. I have saved a bundle off retail prices (50 to 75% OFF) and brought home some gorgeous outfits at below wholesale ~ much of my wardrobe has come from this sale’s clothes racks. Prices start at $20 and the most expensive items (dresses and jackets) are $60!

We will be popping over to Dallas to capture some sneak preview pictures of the goodies, so stay tuned for a future post and more info in the coming days. Until then, you can take a peek at the company websites to get a glimpse of some of the clothing brands you will find:

Details, details
When: April 26-28, 2012 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 8:00PM
and Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas. You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!)
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home.

Enjoy and Share! :)

Wonderful FREEBIES With $15 Credit From One Kings Lane (For New Members)!

Posted on March 23, 2012 | 2 comments

One Kings Lane Has a HOT $15 Credit Offer!

In case you missed it last go-around ~ For a limited time, when you sign-up to get notified of One Kings Lane Sales, you’ll get $15 credited to your account to use towards your first One Kings Lane order of $30 or more. It looks like you have 30 days to use the credit before it expires, but other than that, there are no other strings attached (love that!). Do note that the $15 credit is only offered for new account sign-ups and that it is FREE to join.

Go here to sign up for free and get the $15 credit!

Here are some of the fun things we found in today’s One Kings Lane sales that you could get for FREE or really cheap with the $15 credit:

:: Pretty French influence serving pieces, perfect for Easter and Spring entertaining.

I fell in love with this whole collection ~ great design & great price. The pitcher would be FREE after $15 Credit (On Sale for $12) and this beverage dispenser in yellow or white would be $14 after the credit (On Sale for $29).

:: They also just kicked off a great beach themed collection with a wide range of decorative and houseware items.

Aren’t these fish embossed jars great? Either one would be FREE after the $15 Credit (On sale for $12 each.) Prices in this collection start at $7 and flow right out of the frugal range.

Not Familiar With One Kings Lane?

One Kings Lane is a by-invitation-only daily deals home decor site that has been featured for their amazing bargains on Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators, People Magazine, Good Housekeeping and more.

I’ve discovered the exact same lamps sold at Anthropologie and Neiman Marcus for over 50% OFF through OKL, Cuisinart kitchen appliances for 40% OFF Macy’s prices, and Melissa & Doug educational toys for kids at really great discounts. Their sales change daily, so it’s a fun place for bargain hunters looking for great quality for their home.

FREE or Cheap: Fantastic Entertaining Ware, Cookbooks & More From One Kings Lane

Posted on February 18, 2012 | Leave a comment

You might have seen in one of last week’s posts, when you join One Kings Lane for FREE as a new member, they’ll give you $15 to use towards your first order of $30 or more. If you haven’t signed up yet, you can still do so and get the $15 credit, here.

Since you have to use the $15 credit within 30 days (or you lose it), we want to find ways to help you apply the credit to get some great goodies for FREE or really cheap. Today, there is a wonderful boutique full of fresh and festive entertaining ware (like a set of 6 fun dessert party plates ~ $12 before the discount! Woot!) ~ definitely worth checking out. Most of the sets of dishes, cookbooks, cups & more in this boutique are priced $9 to $20 (so after the $15 OFF credit, quite a few things would be FREE!). Here’s the scoop…

How to Get A FREE Set of Plates, Cups, or Bowls

If you haven’t already used your $15 credit, you might consider using it for some of the fun things we found in today’s One Kings Lane Classic Coffee, Tea, & More Boutique Sale (look for the boutique picture link above, once you get logged in to One Kings Lane). You could get most of these goodies in this boutique FREE or really cheap when you use the $15 credit. There are almost 150 items to choose from.

Even without the credit, you can score some great deals today (sale ends Wednesday) like these sets of plates, bowls and cups ~ terrific for a party or use as a nice hostess gift:
