The Pink Hanger BOGO Sale

02/24/12

The Pink Hanger BOGO Sale

Secret sentiment that I probably share with most of the world: I have no respect for Payless Shoes's BOGO sale. Maybe it's because I hate the commericals, or maybe it's because I've never seen a pair of shoes in store that look like they could actually withstand the walk to the parking lot. But, I have mad respect for The Pink Hanger's  BOGO Sale, and that's because the clothes (and accessories) are of creme de la creme quality, they're gorgeous, and the prices on them are unbeatable today and tomorrow (open till 6).

Here's how to play:

Buy 1 sale item, and get the 2nd  item... Read more »

Escape to East Boulevard Super Bowl Sales

This girl has no clue who's playing in the Super Bowl tonight.  From that, I guess you can gauge my utter lack of interest. And if you're anything like me, and you want to escape the responsibility of whipping up queso or sandwiches for a house full of football fans, we're in luck! Our favorite East Boulevard shops have joined together to get us out of the house and let us shop all afternoon, from 1-5 p.m.(so, for those of us who actually have to make an appearance in front of the TV tonight, you'll be home in time for kick off).

So, who are the real MVPs today?

-Petal

-Laura James Jewelry

-Sloan

-Coral

-Cottage Chic

-Monarch

-Wine & Design (1-3 p.m.)

Style Spotlight: Gorjana Bracelets at Luna

Style Spotlight: Gorjana Bracelets at Luna

In the hopes that our little friend Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see his shadow tomorrow, I'm higlighting an accessory that's completely spring. On that note, there's nothing that says spring this season like bold COLOR, and more often than not, it's in hues of neon.

For that reason, we're loving these Gorjana leather, neon bracelets at Luna and Luna online. They're $52.50, in stock, and the perfect punch of color to transistion your wardrobe slowly into spring. They're available in neon pink, yellow, orange, and green, and are sprinkled with gold studs.

Get with it.
