KitchenAid Stand Mixer

 

Amazon currently has the KitchenAid KSM75WH Classic Plus Tilt-Head 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer in White marked down to just $159.98! This mixer normally sells for $269.99.

Aside from some of the more bizarre colors {the greens and oranges}, this is the best price I have seen for a KitchenAid Stand Mixer! At this price, though, I don’t think the deal is going to last for long!

Fandor Offers One Free Week of Independent Film Streaming

by Lisa on February 7th, 2012

Fandor

 

Currently I am completely and totally obsessed with the TV show Greek. It went off the air last year, so I am quickly making my way through the show by watching it via Netflix on my laptop. This is neither here nor there other than to say that I love the show and that I am a recent convert to streaming tv and movies onto a computer.

I just received word that there’s a streaming site called Fandor. Fandor specializes in streaming independent films and shorts, featuring movies from around the globe.

One aspect of the site that I like is that they encourage you to clip and share your favorite scenes with friends. It’s actually really easy to do this! Strangely enough, this is a feature I really wish Netflix had so I could share my favorite Greek scenes with you. ;)

Anyhow, if you head on over to Fandor they’ll give you 7 days to try out the service for FREE. They don’t ask for your credit card or anything, so there won’t be anything to cancel if you decide to give it up after the free trial is over. Should you decide that you love Fandor, it costs $10 per month. It’s a little pricier than streaming Netflix, but these are films you won’t find anywhere else.

Steal This Look: Tommy Hilfiger’s Knit Striped Blazer for Less

Tommy Hilfiger Knit Blazer

 

I am a HUGE fan of striped blazers, and this Tommy Hilfiger Knit Striped Blazer in particular. Unfortunately, a $129 casual blazer isn’t in the cards right now.

Forever21 Striped Blazer

 

While the Tommy Hilfiger blazer features navy and white stripes, this Forever21 Knit Striped Blazer is a great inspired by piece for less {$19.50} featuring black and white stripes. Both blazers are lightweight and will be great to pull on now or throughout the summer when you need a little something on those chilly summer nights.

Fab New Shopping Site: Little Black Bag

by Lisa on February 6th, 2012

Little Black Bag

 

There’s a new shopping site that just launched that I’m excited to tell you all about. Little Black Bag is the name of the site and it combines a few of my favorite things: discount shopping, designer brands, the element of surprise, and referral credits.

Little Black Bag draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese “Lucky Bag” shopping concept. During these events, shoppers purchase a bag full of designer products and trade the items among friends. Little Black Bag provides this exciting experience in a fun online environment.

To get started, you create a style profile that allows Little Black Bag to curate the best fashion and beauty products to place in your bag. Based on your profile, you’ll be offered a personalized Little Black Bag, filled with items that you can view online.

You choose the first item that you will receive, and then Little Black Bag will choose two surprise items for you based on your style profile. Considering the brands that are currently on the site - Z Spoke by Zac Posen, Ben Amun, Perlina, BCBGeneration, Betsey Johnson, and Kenneth Jay Lane, among others – the price is surprisingly affordable. You can get a monthly subscription for $49.95 {Yes! Another subscription box! And you can skip months when you don’t want anything} or try the service out for one time for $59.95.

necklace

 

So, say you wanted this Kenneth Cole New York Modern Violet Statement Necklace that normally costs $145. You would add it to your Little Black Bag and you could get it for as little as $49.95! BUT, you’d also get 2 more surprise designer items as well at no extra charge! {From what I’ve read, not revealing the brand names in this surprise part helps Little Black Bag to keep the prices down. Once you’ve purchased your Little Black Bag {including the surprise items}, you can trade the items inside with your friends and other members of the site – all through the Little Black Bag marketplace. If you don’t like something you could trade it with someone else on the site before it ever got shipped to you, thus ensuring you only receive items you’ll love.

As for those referral credits, LBB has made it easy for members to spread the word and earn free items! Click the invite tab to easily share your personalized referral link on Facebook, Twitter, email, or online. Every time one of your friends buys a bag, you get a free extra item worth up to $25 in your next bag.
