While browsing for bargains on Bluefly, we came across a great new section for anyone addicted to Gossip Girl fashion, like we are (to put it mildly). You can shop the looks based on the style of your favorite characters, from the Audrey Hepburn-loving Blair to the Kate Moss-loving Serena to fashionista-in-training Jenny and even the sartorially blessed boys.

We were especially thrilled to find really gorgeous pieces for really good prices (think 40% off and more) by brands like Kors Michael Kors, Priorities and Betsey Johnson, to namedrop but a few.

And we extra extra extra love that the pieces are so versatile -- we can see wearing them at work (boo) and at play (yay!).

Scope out all the new arrivals and hard-to-beat bargains, right here at Bluefly!

p.s. New customers can take $30 off orders of $150+ with code AFF30 at checkout!

Kill three birds with one stone, or should we say hoodie scarf with pockets, in glorious preppy style.

Not only will this Gossip Girl-worthy rugby scarf keep your neck warm, it'll keep your ears and hands warm, too. All in fabulous style.

And at under $40, we can't help but proclaim this an amazing gift (hello, three-in-one!).

Where to give the gift of warmth?

Right here, sugar plum.

Once the fashionable choice of the British aristocracy, wellies are a primo way to keep your tootsies dry in wet weather.

But we say ditch the classic hunter green and black ones Gwyneth and Kate popularized a few years back and go for these bold, fun and glam silver Hunter Wellington boots instead.

Sure to brighten rainy and snowy winter days, the silver will go with everything and make you the envy of puddle jumpers everywhere (plus, they look fab sitting around your house, as proven on design*sponge today).

Where to snag your pair?

Here at Shopbop!

p.s. Get free shipping AND when you use code THANKS2U, get $50 off $250+ orders, $100 off $500+ orders, $250 off $1000+ orders or $500 off $1500 orders!

Great style doesn't have to cost a lot -- even when it comes to your home sweet home.

How to freshen up your spreads?

With these fab ikat bowls.

At only $14 a pop, we think they make great gifts too, whether your loved ones choose to use them as glam ice cream bowls – or as a chic spot to toss in their baubles.

Where to get bowled over?

Here at Anthro, of course.

The upside of this economny? Mayjah sales.

When in the past have we been able to scoop up designer bags for half off without clawing and fighting each other at sample sales?

Exactly.

Right now, scoop up major savings and major style with pieces that will go the distance at Shopbop's up to 70% off sale.

While you can nab clothing, shoes and other goodies, it's the handbags we're drooling over. We've been wanting the Rebecca Minkoff French Tote from first sight, but $660 was more than even we could justify. However, at half that price, we're ready to make it our everyday bag.

Also find Martine Sitbon and Botkier bags as low as $140, plus great little card cases by Marc by Marc Jacobs for $30 that will make perfect prezzies for your friends and loved ones (even if that loved one is you!).

Shop the sale before the good stuff's all gone!

The holidays are all about keeping cozy.

Whether that's by bundling up in a cashmere sweater, wrapping yourself in an oversized scarf, or by chugging hot cocoa (or eggnog), the best thing to do at the end of a day is to slip into some cozy slippers. It's also the best way to wake up on Christmas morning.

Slippers we're loving? These darling sweater ones, and we really love that they're less than $30.

Lined with warm fleece, your tootsies will stay warm and stylish at once.

Available in pink, red, black, purple, white and oatmeal, they make a sweet holiday present to boot (pun so intended).

Get a pair here!

Need to nab a gift for a coworker or want to stuff a stocking of someone stylish without giving her useless junk?

Give our fave stationery site, iomoi, a try.

We're loving the pre-packaged stationery sets that come with a bamboo pen, packaged with twine and a chic gift tag ($25).

Or, light someone's fire for even less with the prettiest set of matches you've ever seen ($12 for a set of two).

Or, go glam with a gorgeous paperweight ($38) or glossy memo pad in a lucite tray ($48) -- we think your boss or your underlings would enjoy either.

Why? These are the types of things we always want, but never buy for ourselves (even Nina Garcia agrees!). Life's short. Why not make someone's day?

Browse great gifts under $50 at iomoi!

Holiday Break: Take 20% off orders of $150+ with code stockup through November 21, 2008!

Don't you just hate when someone cuts YOU off, then blames YOU, proceeds to have the audacity to call you a c-u-next-Tuesday, causing you to sink to said offender's low level and inciting your overuse of words starting with the sixth letter of the alphabet? Or do these things just happen to us? Hmmmm...

If you can relate to feeling less like a peach and more like a lemon during the holidays, and we bet you can, why not give 'em a piece of your mind without saying a word with these Cure for Road Rage Shticks?

Ten double-sided signs (nine pre-printed and one DIY so you can really get creative), express sentiments ranging from "Shame on You" to "Are You Drunk?"

The most helpful, hilarious and we hope not too violence-inducing stocking stuffers we've seen yet.

Express yourself here!

Diamonds and teddy bears and poodles, oh my.

We are totally swooning over Sars on Mars.

A girl after our own heart, indie jewelry designer Sara Wilson serves up big, sweet doses of gold-plated goodness: rocking unicorns, bows and bears, to name but a few.

The aesthetic? Cute meets cool. Which likely explains why the covetable pieces have been featured in publications from Japan, the masters of cute meets cool.

Best of all, you can score all of the nostalgia-inducing designs for half off (originally $90, now just $45), making it the perfect time to pick up a piece for you, your bestie and maybe your niece, too.

Where?

Here at Stars and Infinite Darkness.

Who loves ya, baby?

Apparently, Shopbop does.

Shopbop, one of our absolutely favorite online fashion boutiques, is rewarding early holiday shoppers with a whopping 30% off full-priced merchandise today and tomorrow only.

Simply enter code EARLYGIFT at checkout to save (excludes jewelry, accessories and sale merch) through November 13 at 11:59PM PST.

In honor of Veterans Day, we are feeling the love.

Feel like spreading some love yourself?

Head right here!

Notice how everyone tends to get all crazy-busy-stressed around the holidays, totally defeating the purpose and putting a damper on what should be the most wonderful time of the year?

Why not lighten up this season?

The clever folks at Kate Spade are dishing up the wittiest Christmas and holiday cards to make you and those you love feel merry and bright.

Our favorite cards with style? Reindeer Games and Three French Hens, natch.

Or focus on new beginnings in the New Year with Count Down.

Not only are they clever, they're gorgeous, too.

And isn't that really the message you want to be sending?

Take a peek!

It was bound to happen.

If you loved the Chanel two-tone tights these were clearly inspired by, but couldn't get your hands on a pair due to them being in such high demand or because you thought paying $300 for tights would have your friends and fam committing you once and for all, may we introduce you to Urban's version?

For only $14?

We really needn't say more.

Except, get your pair right here, before they sell out like hotcakes, hot legs.

And the sales just keep on coming...

Have you noticed the recent onslaught of sales and deals? Consider them the silver lining of this "horrible" economy (which we'd totally like to sue the media for helping to create, fyi). Well, we're doing our patriotic duty by vowing to try to stimulate it, and Nordstrom's on our side.

Right now, shop great clothes, bags, shoes and more at 40% off or more at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.

We're all over the dress section, as usual, and are loving the shoes, particularly the Steven by Steve Madden Intyce boots (originally $200, now $120) which totally remind us of the Loeffler Randall ones we'd like to have, but can't quite bring ourselves to spend $600 on.

Along with the fab deals, get free shipping when you spend $200 or more.

It's the perfect time to shop for Christmas and holiday presents (think bangles, scarves, wraps and all things one-size-fits-all).

Stimulate the economy here!

Last night was, no doubt, historic. And whether your "team" won or lost, we can all agree that it's time to rally together and start feeling hopeful instead of dreadful.

We have a new prez, new daughters and (apparently) a new puppy coming to The White House, along with a new first lady, whose style has already been compared to Jackie O.

So today we're feeling quite nostalgic and feel like channeling Jackie O. ourselves. Think classic, chic, timeless.

Lucky for us, J.Crew has captured all three in their latest collection. (In fact, Michelle Obama noticed and wore J.Crew on Jay Leno last week -- and looked divine.)

Everything feels very '60s, punchy, Mad Men, easy and ladylike, and we can't get enough. Plus, it's all way more affordable than what Jackie O. actually wore -- especially if you score some pieces from the J. Crew sale.

Why? Because through November 8, 2008, you can take an extra 30% off sale items with code EXTRA30 at checkout! The future is looking brighter already.

Treat yourself here!

It's a big day. The fate of our country is literally in your gorgeously manicured hands. No matter if you're Team Red, Team Blue or Team You, if you haven't voted yet, get thee to thee polling place stat.

Then reward yourself with these amazing coupon codes we've rounded up to celebrate the occasion. Why? Because we're always for Team You! The economy might be in a pickle, but that doesn't mean your budget -- or style -- has to suffer, too.

Just a week ago, we were skipping through France, reveling in the stunning autumn hues, sipping Beaujolais in Beaujolais and swooning over macaroons and all sorts of fabulous sweet treats in even more fabulous it's-too-pretty-to-eat-but-if-I-must packaging.

So it was a delight to hear from Claire Eglizeaud and Paul Moreau, a designer and a graphic artist from Bordeaux, France, who want to share their new line of pillows with their friends across the pond.

Sweet, poppy, bold and bright, yet a bit dark and avant garde too, if Amelie were to be captured in a collection of pillows, you would have Bonjour Mon Coussin.

The motifs are original and inspired by vintage found documents (think postcards, an 1873 marriage certificate) or drawn from their own world (voyages and unusual objects) and -- we're just guessing -- an adventurous sweet tooth.

Ready to Frenchify your space with something arty that not everyone else has and that will have you and your friends inspired and swooning?

Shop Bonjour Mon Coussin!
