Promotions at ShopLuna.com

It's pretty much promotion palooza over at ShopLuna.com right now, Luna's online site. If you're anything like me, and by that I mean pretty lazy (like, the kind of lazy where you sign off on your winter coat without trying it on to test the warmth just because you can do it while you watch TV), then finding rewards for shopping online is like getting a reward for relaxing.

Right now, here are the ridiculous number of incentives to sit in your pajamas on your couch and shop online: 25 percent off your first online purchase, 15 percent off the pick of the day (today's pick is the Emma Legging by DL in "Parakeet" blue ($134)), free...

Victoria's Secret Has Halloween Costumes

I'd pretend to be shocked and appalled, but honestly, this was inevitable, wasn't it?

Click here if you are prepared to view the "Sexy Little Fantasies" collection and then begin to pray that you never, ever, ever catch your own daughter wearing one of these in public.

I also appreciate that VS is valiantly trying to sell this as "sleepwear." Yeah, sure Vicki.

Online Finds: End of Season Sale at Nine West.com

I normally consider myself to be a person with fairly high will power. I can say no to bad foods even if they look yummy, I can turn down a lunch date to save cash and eat my Lean Cuisine at my desk. I have that ability within me, I know I do. But when it comes to shoes, I struggle. I tell myself, "Just wait until the end of the season and that pair of boots will be 70% off." But then the panic sets in.  "There is no way those boots will still be available. Look at them! They are the cutest boots ever created! Everyone is trying to buy them right now and if I don't hurry I'll never get them!"  Case in point, the grey, knee-high suede boots I asked for at Christmas were backordered into eternity - which only reinforces my strong intuition that if I don't...

Online Finds: Pop Deluxe Gifts

Just when I was starting to get smug about finishing off my Christmas shopping, it dawned on me: stocking stuffers! Luckily, our stylish and sassy Charlotte Magazine intern, Evans, has just the cure I need for my what-to-buy blues. Welcome her to Shop Talk for a quick guest post, won't you?  Take it away Evans!

Stocking stuffers, in my opinion, are one of the best things about the holidays (besides eating tasty treats, of course).

Online Finds: Christian Siriano for Payless

Christian Siriano was a very controversial subject in my household circa 2008. I had adored his little sarcastic diva 'tude since episode one of his season on Project Runway, whereas my spouse (who doesn't actually "watch" the show, so much as he stands in the kitchen and prentends to be washing dishes and "accidentally sees a few minutes of it") though he was annoying and far too full of himself to be so young.

Well, week after week Christian continuously proved his fans right: he was allowed to be a little cocky because the boy. had. talent.

Now he's designing dresses that show up on red carpets, putting out consistently pretty good collections, and doing fun little things like this: designing shoes that even those of us...

Online Finds: J. Crew Heels

Jenn and I work in an office with two other women. For this reason there is much discussion of fashion, style, and "is that a new dress you're wearing today? where did you get it?" just about every day. In fact, I've already listed off the brand of every single thing I'm wearing to my co-workers this morning. (In case you were wondering, it's all Target. In my defense as a style blogger it's Richard Chai for...

Online Finds: Are you Gilt-y yet?

There are some style bloggers out there who might think I am coming late to the party by writing about Gilt Groupe a bazillion years after savvy fashion-lovers found out about it, but you know what, not all of us catch on to these things that fast, and I, for one, am grateful when someone leads me to something I...
