August 01, 2008 : Tie One On: Dress for Dinner Napkins
|
The next time you have friends over for a Mad Men pizza and cocktail party (which should be every Sunday in our opinion), surprise them with these hysterical Dress for Dinner napkins.
Even if everyone's in their trusty Sunday uniform (t-shirts and jeans), they'll look as dapper as Mr. Draper himself once they put their ties...er, napkins on.
An excellent hostess gift or housewarming gift for your best bachelor friend who just moved into his new place, we think these would also be adorable at a little kid's birthday party.
Where to dress for dinner?
At The Spoon Sisters!
p.s. The Spoons are giving BussBuss readers $5 off on orders of $30 or more with coupon code buss through August 15, 2008!

July 31, 2008 : Go Nude & Grow Your Gams Without Surgery!
|
The best way to elongate your legs, without some ridic new surgical technique?
By wearing nude or flesh-toned heels.
The color literally goes with everything and looks classic and chic.
We love this patent Moda Spana 'Edda' pump for its understated simplicity and saucy peep toe, plus it's lightly padded so it's even pretty comfy too.
The best part? It's on sale from $80 to just $56 and overnight shipping is free -- yes, free (returns are free too, so no hard feelings if it doesn't work out).
Go nude at Endless!

July 30, 2008 : Shopbop Steals: Gara Danielle & Laurel Denise Jewelry
|
The key to fabulous style?
Shaking things up.
Instead of wearing your beautiful and classic diamond studs every single day, why not switch things up with these unexpected, delicately cool key studs by Gara Danielle?
They'll look chic and original with whatever you're wearing and they're also a steal. Marked down from $58 to just $40, pick up a pair at the Shopbop sale, where you'll find hundreds of coveted items at up to 70% off (plus, shipping is FREE!).
While there, be sure to scope out lots of other great deals and treasures. We're partial to the jewelry department where we found our favorite Laurel Denise necklaces for as low as $24 (originally $83). We say buy one now for your best friend, sister, mom and niece and your Christmas shopping will be done before you hit August.
Sweet.

July 22, 2008 : It's a (Cashmere) Wrap at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
|
Welcome to day two of Sweater Week, where we get to share our obsession for staying warm with the likes of you and your fah-bu-lous self.
As people who rack up a lot of frequent flier miles, we're big fans of long scarves and wraps. Not only can they double as blankets on the plane, you can also wrap them around those nasty used pillows the airlines provide for more restful slumber. And, they just look so chic on chilly days and nights, when you're sipping your fave drinky drink oceanside or at that hidden outdoor cafe.
Which explains why we are la-la-loving this airy ribbed cashmere wrap. It's super generous size makes it very versatile and we love that we can nab it in dreamy heather oat or classic black.
The best part? It's normally $99, but since Nordstrom is having their great anniversary sale, you can get it for just $64. But only until August 4, when prices on fall items go back to their regular price.
Be sure to take advantage of the sale while it lasts and find lots of other fall goodies (shoes, bags, denim) for prices that won't be as low until after Christmas.
Shop the sale!
p.s. Get free shipping when you spend $200 or more, too!

July 10, 2008 : Mayle Call: 60% Off Coupon Code
|
We've loved Jane Mayle ever since we dwelled in the same neighborhood as her fah-bu-lous Manhattan boutique.
But, we never could quite cough up the green to actually own any of the ah-mazing bags, accessories or clothing by the covetable designer.
Which is why we're SO excited to score this 60% off coupon code on her spring collection (thanks for the heads up Refinery29!).
We love the Circus Braid belt, originally $175, now just $70 with the code, as well as all of the bags. They're just so darling and different from everything else out there in Fashion Land.

We've gushed over Henry Road designer Paula Smail's groovy prints and colorful global style in the past and are so excited to see her latest collection of pillows, bags, aprons, tablecloths, runners, journals and more.
The poppy, colorful graphics put us in the mood to host a sun-drenched summer party with good food and friends. And that just makes us happy. And, really, isn't that what good design is all about?
We also love that we can get a dose of Henry Road on the go in handbag form, too. The totes are perfect for hopping and shopping around flea markets, rummaging through vintage stores for hidden treasures and traipsing the globe stylishly.
The best part?

Gorgeously wrapped and draped, Kristen McCloud earrings are meticulously detailed, but look effortlessly fabulous dangling from your lobes.
They also dress up any outfit in an instant.

June 10, 2008 : Desert Chic: Half Off Kate Spade Shoes
|
BussBuss just got back from a long weekend in Sedona, Arizona.
Though it's the capital of all things New Agey (not exactly our bag, babycakes) and is the home to scary snakes and scorpions, we couldn't help but be seduced by the red, hot desert locale's stunning scenery and retro vibe.
We felt like we were in that fabulous Kate Spade ad campaign from a few years back.
Which has us feeling all things vintage, colorful, ethnic and unusual and likely explains why we love these python-swathed wedges. That, and they just happen to encapsulate all the hues of the Arizona landscape.
Luckily, they also happen to be 50% off, which makes them a splurge within the realm of possibility.

What's better than having a personal shopper?
Having a personal shopper who tells you when your favorite things -- in your size -- go on sale.
That's exactly what the fabulously addictive site Shop It To Me does.

Brilliant.

It only takes a minute and is actually rather fun.
They'll then email you a daily or weekly summary of which new items go on sale in your size.
Too good to be real? Unlike most of Hollywood's tatas, Shop It To Me actually is the real deal.

February 22, 2008 : Exclusive Invite: Designer Sample Sales From Your Sofa
|
Anyone who's lucky enough to live in New York knows it's a love/hate relationship.
Love that you can always find a cab. Hate that there's always traffic. Love that you can walk to anything you can imagine at any time. Hate that it's so dirty.
Love that you have access to so many great sample sales. Hate that you're not the only one.
Fuggetabout the long lines, pushy crowds and lack of any dressing rooms and join Gilt Groupe instead.
Featuring luxury and up-and-coming brands like Zac Posen, Rachel Roy, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, Hollywould and Badgley Mischka to namedrop a few (love), each sale features one designer at a time and lasts just one day.
The best part? No New York zip code is required (love).
The catch? Gilt Groupe is for members only (hate).
Not to worry. As always, BussBuss has your stylish back. We've snagged exclusive invitations for our fabulous subscribers (love love).

February 20, 2008 : Out of Africa: Up to 70% Off at Active Endeavors
|
We were ultra bummed to find out that going on safari in Africa actually meant having to camp for several days.
Our Hollywoodized version had us fantasizing that we could lounge at some luxe hotel, grab a jeep tour through the wild one afternoon to spot lions and elephants and giraffes (oh my) and be back to the hotel in time for happy hour.
In an effort to bounce back from this great disappointment while still holding on to our love of adventure and all things global, we've decided to shop the Active Endeavors sale instead.
Why?
Because there we've hunted down worldly print dresses and looks and we didn't have to camp or glamp to get them. Plus, they're up to 70% off and one of this spring's hottest trends.
We plan to toss on our new exotic-looking dress and head to the zoo instead for a walk on the wild side.
Because we're sometimes down, but never out.

January 07, 2008 : Loeffler Randall for Less
|
We've been loving Loeffler Randall for about as long as any self-respecting design addict (i.e. ever since designer Jessie Randall and her hubby's adorable Brooklyn flat were featured in Domino many, many months ago). And yes, we did buy the For Like Ever poster.
But as much as we crave Loeffler Randall -- the shoes! the bags! the coats! -- we can't always swallow the prices.
Which is why we're super excited about the new Loeffler Randall for Target collection.
While we were saddened there were no cute coats in the Target collection, the chic-meets-cheek bags and shoes are a good way to sample the up-and-coming brand without sacrificing next month's rent money.
Take a peek at Loeffler Randall at Target!

August 30, 2007 : Sweet Petaline
|
When it comes to home decor and fashion, we think it's best when your accessories are as unique as possible. They're those statement pieces that really show who you are and your personal style. Are you really a mass-produced poster kind of girl? We didn't think so.
Which is why we're loving the new boutique Petaline. Selling a well-curated selection of handmade, one-of-a-kind home accessories, art, photography, jewelry, bags and clothing from Pacific Northwest artists, Petaline is a rare jewel -- a spot to find things that are actually made with heart.
Can we be expected to resist pillows by Kristin Loffer Theiss? She freehand draws each one with her sewing machine, like an etch-a-sketch (re: sew amazing).
Or Kate Endle's original collages (so sweet and so affordable).
And, of course, we believe you should look as good as your home, which is why we're loving the gorgeous bags by Jamie Irene and Sabrina Love Handbags, as well as Suzabelle's statement trench coat and Keri D'Angelo's earrings.

August 28, 2007 : Mad for Mohop
|
Louboutins? So last season. Also so mass fashionista. Searching for something truly one of a kind, under the radar, comfy and much more affordable, especially when you realize how many pairs of shoes you get in just one?
Look no further than Mohop.
Custom-made by designer Annie Mohaupt in her Chicago studio, Mohop is that rare experience where fabulous customer service, fabulous packaging and fabulous product create an online shopping trifecta.
Composed of rubber soling made from recycled tires (very eco-chic), a Finnish birch plywood core, and topped with various select veneers, what really makes Mohop shoes unique is the patent-pending strapping system, where you can customize your shoes by changing the ribbons that tie the shoes on (it's super easy and fun!).
How does it work? Once at Mohop, select your heel height. Then choose your fave base style. Next, find your exact size by printing out a paper cutout (so much more fun than checking Perez for the latest H'wood scoop -- trust us). Then, select the ribbons you want.
Different lengths and styles of ribbons can be used to achieve a virtually infinite number of looks with just one pair of wooden bottoms (we heart versatility). As Annie says: "Now anybody can play Imelda Marcos without requiring the budget and storage space for 5,000 shoes."
Before checking out, be sure to use coupon code BUSSMO25 for a lovely 25% off exclusively for BussBuss readers (expires September 30, 2007 so do not delay).
Prepare to fall in love at Mohop.

August 24, 2007 : Haute Shop of the Week: Kim&Maki
|
The beauty of fashion and online shopping is that there's always something new to discover. But sometimes a girl feels like she's seen it all. Especially when it comes to jewelry.
Which is why we were happily, and admittedly surprisingly, wowed by the newest and coolest jewelry boutique on the block, Kim&Maki.
Carrying lots of up-and-coming jewelry designers from Paris to Tokyo to New York and everywhere in between, it's a new eye-candyland and we're ready to play.
We especially love the tough-luxe vibe of Orner and also fell for Marjorie Victor's organic and artistic pieces, as well as the vintage-inspired jewelry by Medecine Douce and the crafty-cool of Mur.
Discover your fave designers and pieces, including rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches and hairpins, here at Kim&Maki.
P.S. Kim&Maki loves us too and is giving BussBuss readers an exclusive 30% off with code BUSSKM30 at checkout through September 24, 2007.

August 15, 2007 : The Fabulous Diaries
|
It's no surprise we like the good life and we love quirky and honest-to-a-fault designer Pamela Barsky (have you read her blog -- a tale of making it as a gift designer in LA, overcoming divorce and more?).
Her products have as much personality as she does and are as entertaining as she is, so it only makes sense that she's responsible for these fabulous entertaining journals.
They'll help you keep track of all your social events, from sharing a bottle of vino with friends to finally getting a table at the hottest restaurant in New York.
Choose from the Dinner Party Journal, the Restaurant Journal, the Wine Lover's Journal or the Recipes Journal to help keep track of your fabulous life.
Better yet, be fabu-less and get these for 50% off right here at See Jane Work.

August 14, 2007 : Presenting the New Laurel Denise
|
We love makeovers and we love Laurel Denise, so it's only fitting that we're extra excited about the new look, blog and designs at Laurel Denise.
Queen of exquisitely pretty and cool hand-written and hand-drawn personalized jewelry (that also happens to be wildly affordable), Laurel has added earrings and new necklace shapes and designs to her mix, as well as a brand new line of stationery the whole paper and gift community is abuzz over (or at least they're about to be).
It just makes sense to be able to get her lovely drawings in paper form: think birthday, greeting and notecards, journals, and soon, a calendar.
As Laurel says, "All pieces are inspired by vintage papers (or "found" papers)...old financial ledgers (hence, the graph paper) old library cataloging cards...just about anything that I feel has a story behind it."
Shop the latest and create a story of your own here at Laurel Denise.
P.S. Laurel Denise loves BussBuss too and is offering an exclusive 15% off with code BUSSFRIEND through August 31, 2007.

July 18, 2007 : Delight In Style
|
If BussBuss were an actual boutique, it would be Delight. Featuring cool, fun, fabulous gifts, accessories and design and shopping goodness, Delight's goal is to put the happy back in shopping. They've succeeded.
What's really fun is that everyday at noon central, a new item is posted and at special savings too -- just for the day. If you love it, nab it right away at the special price. There's a 30-day store as well that items go into if they haven't sold out, which is equally divine for procrastinators like, um, us.
Scope out today's adorable Loop clutch and browse the store for hip Envirosax (by far the cutest and most functional reusable bags we've seen yet), mojito muddlers, haute hostess gifts and oodles more here at Delight.
P.S. Delight loves BussBuss as much as we heart them and is offering 15% off purchases of $30+ exclusively to BussBuss readers. Simply enter code BUSSBUSS at checkout!

June 29, 2007 : Haute Shop of the Week: Modishoppe
|
In celebration of independent design and the success of her indie shopping blog Modish, Jen Coray opened the virtual doors to Modishoppe in April 2007.
Since, she's been featuring a coolly edited collection of handmade goods that span from handbags, hoodies and jewelry to paper, home and gifts. It's like shopping Etsy but with a really in-the-know friend (i.e. her keen eye for hip handcrafted treasures does the digging for you).
We're especially fond of the animal-laden accessories, such as the birdie keychains by Kwoozy and the elephant wristlets by Blissful. But we're not all about fauna, we need our flora fix too. Enter Brooke Medlin's rose-shaped earrings.
Both the beauty and the curse of Modishoppe is that Coray only carries a few (sometimes only one) of each item, so if you see something you love, scoop it up fast before it's gone forever. The upside? No fear of ever having the same thing as anyone else and a constantly changing collection.
Scope out all the current treasures here at Modishoppe.
P.S. Modishoppe loves BussBuss too and is offering 10% off with code bussmod at checkout exclusively to our readers!

November 03, 2006 : Fall for Space Mermaid
|
We see a lot of work by up-and-coming jewelry designers -- far more than any other genre in fact -- so it takes something special to stand out and catch our style-hungry eyes. As you can probably guess from their name, Space Mermaid is something special. Equal parts quirky, whimsical, girly and cool, we really love this LA-based line of handcrafted jewelry. Inspired by the sky and the sea, creatures real and imagined, we're totally smitten with the vintage-inspired collection.
Particular faves include the Golden Leaves earrings and the necklaces featuring owls and seahorses. Find something special for you (and maybe that special friend, too) right here at Space Mermaid.
Special for BussBuss readers: Enter 'bussbuss20' in the message section upon checkout and save 20% on all necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Your discount will be refunded when your order ships. Expires 11/10/06.
