Taking Care Of Business

I'm fortunate that my job doesn't require a traditional Working Girl wardrobe. Coming of age in this heady time of shoulder pads, big hair, and Reeboks with scrunchy socks over your L'Eggs pantyhose, I can't help but cringe a little whenever I walk by the career section of my local department store.

But like everything else from the '80s career wear has gone chic...and cheap too. If you're like many out there pounding the pavement for a new job you'll need a interview outfit that means business. I found these options at Smart Bargains all for just $75!

(Suits by Jones New York, Sharango, & Anne Klein just leave the suntan L'Eggs at home please)

Lacey Nanette Lepore, On Sale Even

One of the things on my Fall wish list is something wonderfully lacy from la casa di Prada. The odds of me bagging that much hyped guipure lace runway dress of my dreams is, well, pretty much that - a dream.

That's why I was thrilled to find these Nanette Lepore blouses at one of my favorite online stores Shop Dolly Rocker. There's something about the lace accents that are wildly sexy without a hint of trashiness. I'd pair either piece with a slim fitting leather jacket or pants and one of those fantastic baubles I found yesterday.

What's even hotter? Saving some dough. Enter code NANETTE at checkout and score either one of these for 40% off.

Oooh, I Gotta Get Me Some Bling

I know the sensible thing for me to do this payday is to cover my health insurance, rent, and pay a visit to the doctor...but those things aren't very sexy...and just look at these tantalizing blingy bits. I want them both. Now.

The Purple Waterfall hoops from Tina Tang is an incredibly chic way to try the fringe trend without a huge commitment. At $68 they're fairly priced but if you can make it to her New York store on November 3rd, she's offering 25% off to celebrate her birthday! Her shop is located at 49 Greenwich Avenue. I may see you there.

My next temptress du jour is the Magnolia Necklace by Jordann Jewelry. Buy it online at PalmBeachJem.com. Tell me this wouldn't be uber hot with a plunging v-neck halter top?

Ugh...why isn't my wallet as fat as my sense of style?!

Want I Want Right Now: Frye Boots On Sale!

I love this short boot with the fab name "Veronica" by Frye. Of course I can't get that darn Elvis Costello tune out of my head now, but whatevs.

I'm totally feeling the burnished brown color and practical heel -- obviously perfect with jeans but I'd get a little crazy and where them with a denim skirt and colored tights.

You wanna know the best thing about 'em?

They're on sale (along with a bunches more) for 40% off at Nordstrom!

Go. Shop. Now.

There, now I'm off to scour the web for more fashiony goodness.

Get Money Back When You Shop

I've been a member of Ebates for over a year now and have enjoyed getting money back with each purchase I make through the site.

Here's how it works: login and choose from hundreds of popular retailers including Macys, Shopbop, Sephora, Drugstore.com, Victoria's Secret, etc. and click on which store you'd like to shop. They'll redirect you to the store. You'll shop like you normally do and earn a rebate for each purchase. That's it.

Each retailer offers different cash back rates. One of my faves is Beauty.com which offers 6% off. This may not sound like a lot but when you consider that beauty products go on sale, like NEVER, it really comes in handy. Of course you'll get your rebate on top of any sale they're having anyway, and believe me those dollars add up quickly -- I've already gotten back about $350!
