There are sales all over right now, and sometimes it’s hard to figure out what to go for. Here are some keywords.

Quality In stead of buying lots of cheap stuff extra cheap, go for quality. This is the only time many of us can afford some of the more pricy stuff, and usually the quality is way better.

Shorts We have seen these in stores for a while, and they will be just as trendy next year. Grab them while you can!

Leather handbags The tan leather handbags will work next year as well, but black leather will last forever. Mango has a nice handbag that looks a little Chanel on sale right now.

Winter coat These can be expencive so buy one now while they’re on sale. There’s still some months of cold weather to get through (at least in Norway). Also look for a trench coat for spring if you don’t already have one. There’s nothing more timeless than that.

Jeans Also a garment that can cost quite a bit, so look for them now. Last sale I bought an extra pair of my favorite. Remember that the waist is rizing, so don’t go for the low ones.

Knits Woolen sweathers and any sorts of knits never go totally out of style, and there are tons of them in stores right now.

Shoes Nice heels won’t go out of style too fast. Platforms will last another year, so look for those as well. Sneakers are also great to get on sale. Above are semi-expencive heels from Mango.

Basics and classics All sorts of basics and classics that aren’t mentioned above. Suits, white shirts, black pumps…

Think spring Take a look at the spring collections and have a look at what colors and styles you would like to go for. Some of this you will be able to find at the sales now.

I always check out Mango during the sales even though I never shop there normally. They have some semi-expencive stuff in good quality, and usually have the best sale of all.

This time I will take you guys window shopping at the same store, but over different weeks. I have been taking pictures of this store’s display, but have been too busy to do anything about it. So here they are all at once. This is Fretex next to where I live. Too bad to waste a chance at window shopping, right? I can imagine I’m not the only one that is broke after all those Christmas gifts purchases.

Colorful tights are so right. Animal prints as well.

Tulle and knits for snowy days. Black dress touched up with a little color.

Green winter outfit with snow boots. Yellow dress for spring with colorful leggings underneath.

Looking for the perfect holiday handbag? Here it is:

It’s only $60.90 (on sale) at Saks Fifth Avenue, also avaliable in a lovely blue.

Small update:

I came across these Marc Jacobs flats on sale at eLuxury and I just had to share this with you as well. Something to ask Santa for, cause they’re still $139 (down from $210).

Check out Shop It To Me for sales around the net. Here you can choose what kind of items and designers you’re interested in and how often you want a mail. You will recieve mails with pictures and prices of different items that are on sale, which will include everything from Gap to Marc Jacobs. A great way to keep an eye out for bargains.

Check out Supayana for really cute tops. I just adore them! The designer only makes a few of each, so they’re not cheap, but sometimes the extra price is worth it. The ones one the site are sold out, but you’ll find them on Ebay and new stuff is made all the time.

I just discovered that Zappos is having a holiday sale. All items are $29.95! You can make some awsome deals here!

…so now take a look at Yesterday’s Moment. Spend $30 and get $10 off, spend $60 and get $25 off. Two days only so hurry up. We are loving the sales!

The sale is only good for those who have signed up for the newsletter, but you can of course do this during the sale.

Today I got the stuff I ordered from Vintage Amore. What a nice surprise after coming home all tired after my final exam! The pictures don’t do the items justice, and the dress has a lot of details that can’t be seen.

The dress:

The earrings:

I will wear the dress with really high heels allthough it might not go with the 60’s style. The reason is that I want to make up for the strict look and make it sexy. The earrings with the rhinestones and the black stones have a little rock and glam kind of style which I adore. Loving contrasts at the moment!

The items were shipped fast, wrapped in nice paper and the they were even nicer than I expected. The affordable prices just made the whole experience even better. Needless to say I will shop from Vintage Amore again.

…and this time it’s Sveet Couture that offers a great deal. Get 20% off on orders over $30 until 17th of December and free shipping until 31th of December.
