What I Want Now - For Less

SUSPENDERS:
The first thing I wanted to mention was that I am looking for a great pair of suspenders.  The only pair I found is this pair from Urban Outfitters for under $10.  I would wear them with a great pair of straight leg trousers and a simple long-sleeve t-shirt.  What do you guys think?

DRESSES/SHIRTS WITH CUT-OUT BACKS:
I also think that dresses/shirts with cut-outs on the back are going to be big this season.  There is a really cute dress with a great back on Bloomingdales.com.  I like the dress because the front is very simple which let's the back of the dress get all the attention.  (Note: New email subscribers to Bloomingdales.com receive an extra 10% off their first online purchase) http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=507372&cm_mmc=Froogle-_-n-_-n-_-n



5 COATS/JACKETS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE IN HER CLOSET:
What I desperately need right now is a new puffy coat.  My girlfriend Jeana was telling me how she got a great bargain on a new jacket, which got me thinking and noticing that this is the best time to buy a new coat/jacket.  Almost all coats and jackets are on sale right now and there is still a lot of cold weather left.  Plus, if you buy a classic style, it is something you can use for seasons to come.  So, I made a list of the five Coats/Jackets every woman should have in her closet.

1. Puffy/Down Coat: I probably use this coat more than any other in the cold months.  It is comfortable and most importantly very warm.  This one from Lord & Taylor is so cute because it nips at the waist, so you don't lose your shape.  Plus, don't forget the extra 20% off (see code below)!





2. Trench Coat.  Nothing tops a Burberry trench coat - but they are pretty pricey.  I got lucky and found a great one at a great price a few years ago around this time in Bloomingdale's.  I have also heard that the Woodbury Commons outlet will have some great deals sometimes.  If the Burberry trench coat is out of your price range I would recommend getting one in a classic color, but with an interesting lining if you can find it.    http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.aol_refer.false.tpl.detail.msn_refer.false.item.A198839.ref.GBA?cm_ven=GOOGLEBASE&cm_cat=Fashion&cm_pla=Outerwear&cm_ite=A198839
This DKNY trench is a very classic and simple cut and a very good price.

3. Blazer.  A blazer is a wardrobe staple.  There are so many to chose from.  I would buy one as a part of a suit that you can also wear with jeans.  If you aren't in the market for a suit, this one from Madewell is pretty basic and will go with everything.  Plus, you get an extra 20% off until January 11 (Code: MWCUG7GNB)

J.Crew also has some great basic blazers.  Plus, the extra 30% off of sale items is finally here (see code below)!

4. Jean Jacket.  There is so much to say about a jean jacket.  It is a spring/fall/summer time basic.  And you can even wear it in the winter, under your winter coat, as part of your outfit.  You can even do a denim blazer and kill two birds with one stone.  This one from Banana Republic is an extra 25% off (see code below).

5. Leather Jacket.  When the weather starts getting better you will be surprised at how much you will wear your leather jacket.  I have worn mine to so many different occasions, I have worn it with Jeans and a T-Shirt and even over a formal dress at a wedding.  Some of my top picks include these classic, well-made jackets from AllSaints that are half-off.

Another cheaper option is this Laundry jacket from LastCall.com.  It is a great website by Nieman Marcus.
The jacket is on sale, with an extra 40% off and then another 25% off (plus free shipping - see code below).



 Bonus Coat:  If you have room in your closet for one more coat, I would go with something a little trendier and dressier.  This one from French Connection is absolutely adorable and looks even better on and is at a great price.  It is like an updated trendier pea coat (and nautical is always in!)!!!
