21st Century Mom

Hot in the City

Love Ben Sherman.  Modern styling at decent retail prices.  Better with a deal, so here you go: 30% off 2 items like...this hot navy polo shirt for him and these adorable Sian Shoes for you! Get both for less than $100 (ok, slightly more when you factor in shipping...but still!).  Just use code: MR07 by June 1st (tomorrow).

Get Some Skin in the Game

My dark little secret is that in addition to shoes and bags, I'm a beauty product junkie.  Used to be just drugstore crap but now I've gone upscale in my pathetic attempts to look 10 years younger.

Love this online boutique called Skin Store where you can get pretty much any potion or lotion you need.  The ONLY items I have found that work are: Elizabeth Arden's Prevage AND these glycolic pads...but they are NEVER in stock.  Now you can pick them up AND take 10% off with code: FAV10 at checkout. 

Memorial Madness

May madness around my home this month with 2 birthdays, crazy-busy work, end of school year/sign up for summer activities, blah, blah, blah.

So I've been getting deluged by offers for this weekend.  Around our neck of the woods, the forecast is rain and lots of it, so I'll be rooting around for good buys:

One of the biggest sales of the season at Macy's, they've taken 10-50% off + on everything this weekend. They'll give you an extra 10% if you use your Macy's Card. And don't forget the clearance section, where an additional 25% off is taken from the already reduced prices.

Save 20% off an ENTIRE ORDER at Linens 'n Things. Use coupon code 194712697488.  This is a much better deal than their usual coupons that only take a discount off one item. Expires on 12/31/2007 - so bookmark this page.

West Elm's Memorial Day Sale knocks up to 25% off select purchases this weekend only. West Elm is the poor mom's Pottery Barn and owned by the same company.

Bath & Body Works' Memorial Day Sale features select items up to 50% off. Also in this sale you'll find Aromatherapy Body Lotion and Body Wash buy 1, get 1 free. Sale ends 05/28/2007.

Save 40% on total purchases from Coldwater Creek with coupon code WLP1582 at checkout. It works at Coldwater Creek Outlet too. Coupon expires 06/10/2007.

Finally, I have to add a feature on SHOES!  The Summer Sandal Sale at Payless, has some cheap kicks, starting at $5.99, and $7.49 for the guys. Shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.

Camp or Cruise?

A friend of mine emailed me to say that tents were on sale at Amazon.com.   Personally, I'm not sure that my family could stand *that* much togetherness for a weekend.  But hey, different strokes for different folks, right?

If you are more a hotel+room service person, the Summer Vacation sale is still going on at Expedia.com. 

Preppy Alert

Can you tell I'm on the hunt for classic summer clothes this morning?  J Crew is having their Spring Sale.  Skip the overpriced tanks ($20 on sale??!!) and head for the dresses or shoes, like these ADORABLE St Tropez slides $29 (reg. $98).

Love the Crew Cuts for kids, like these classics for girls.

And men/boys things are on sale too, but the girls and ladies things are SO MUCH CUTER!

Polos are Back

If Tea-Partay is more your vibe, check out Banana Republic's sale on men's polos (under $30!). 

Need a Mother's Day Gift?

Check out the GREAT prices on jewelry by Kenneth Jay Lane at Smart Bargains.  His designs are typically found at high end department stores like Saks (which explains why Smart Bargains, aka Loehmanns has them deeply discounted).

Or if mom is more a Burberry gal, there are some great watches (including this adorable charm bracelet watch) on sale for 50% off!  I know it's still pricey, but hey...she's your mom!

Pier Review

Pier 1 is having a fantastic sale on home accessories, furniture and gifts, just in time for visiting families on Mother's Day.  But the diffusers stink (literally...go into a store and try one then you will know why they are on sale).

Great deals on these black wire baskets for $5.67.  You can get them instore and save on the shipping.  I may have to pick up these ultra modern black vases for my living room -- an absolute steal starting at $8.50!  And don't forget the silver sticks for $2 each (reg. $10).  Or come rummage through my yard in fall with some silver spray paint for free.

Bring back Kirsty -- she's over the Jenny Craig thing anyway!

Picture Perfect

So what do you get when you cross Winkflash.com, Curel and the American Red Cross?  A cool Mother's Day promotion.  Winkflash is GIVING AWAY FOR FREE 50 photo prints and samples of new Curel lotion ('picture perfect', geddit?).  Oh, and the kicker is the donation to the ARC.
