Want Not

I don’t personally wear Bali bras—and this seems like an inappropriate place to get into a prolonged discussion of my, um, bustular issues (hint: I’m not sure Bali comes small enough for me, you’re welcome)—but I know enough to know that One Hanes Place’s $14.99 Bali Sale is a pretty good deal.

Also, I remember when you could only buy Balis in white or… white. Look at them now, all fancy and edgy with their leopard print and purple and stuff! Go a little wild and crazy, there! I mean, for $15, why not?

Today—Tuesday, August 31st, 2010 (dude, where’d my month go?)—you can save 30% at Gap, Old Navy, or even Banana Republic with coupon code SAVENOW.

Some restrictions apply (and some restrictions make sense, like you can’t use it on leather outerwear at Old Navy, but others are just mean, like you can’t use it on jeans at Gap!), but you may be able to scoop up a bargain or two if you play it right.

But this offer is only good for today, so don’t see something shiny and forget about it. Not that that ever happens to—oh, look!

I’m busy picking out all of the Lucky Brand t-shirts I want today over at 6pm.com (hint: all of them), but their main featured deal is deep discounts on The North Face, which is especially good news if you live in the land of ice and snow.

What do you care if those boots are technically last year’s model? You probably don’t. Particularly if you can now get them for over half off.

Did you realize we’re just about a week out from Labor Day? It’s true. I totally want a refund on my summer; I’m not sure where it went. Traditionally, of course, Labor Day marks the end of the season.

Savvy shoppers know that the true end of the season is when the sandals and bathing suits go on final clearance. Obviously. And I guess that would be today—check out 6pm.com for some of their lowest prices of the season on everything you need to rock the beach next year.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed when they have 42 pages of stuff in a sale category, of course, so I’ll just mention that in my quick look-through I saw some incredible prices on Reefs and Havianas in the shoes, and some deep discounts on Speedo and Tyr (and on guys’ jammers, in case you have a kid on swim team who needs those for practice) in the suits.

They also seem to have a lot of ruffly bikinis, but, um, I’m a little old for those. Knock yourself out, though.

I’m not complaining, mind you, but lately it does seem like Old Navy has a new code out every other day. Nice of them! Anyway, today you can use coupon code ONSAVE25 and save 25% off everything except leather outerwear and “everyday values.”

And you know what I say to that, right? When the heck did Old Navy start selling leather outerwear??

Today’s daily deals at 6pm.com includes killer deals on boots from La Canadienne and Bastien, so if you (like me) are dreaming of cooler days and pretty boots, it’s a good day to shop.

Of course, they’ve also got up to 70% off Nine West and Guess, as well as a bunch of other stuff. Pretty, pretty shoes. And can I just admit that when the platform heels started showing up everywhere I was all high and mighty and “Oh, those are so ugly and clunky” and now I’m seriously considering buying some? I don’t know what is happening to me. I think I have a fever… and the only prescription is more pretty shoes. (“Take two snakeskin pumps and call me in the morning.”)

Amazon is hopping on the back-to-school bandwagon—again, because I’m pretty sure they already did this once already—with a giant back to school clothing sale on cool duds for the kids and teens. Many items are already marked down, plus use coupon code BK2SKL01 to save $10 off $50+ or code BK2SKL25 for $25 off $100+.

I imagine most of you have already taken care of BTS shopping, by now, but there’s no rule that says you can’t start your holiday shopping. Or your just-because shopping. Whatever. I don’t judge, especially at these prices.

Today (August 19th, 2010) only, use coupon code ONFALL at Old Navy and you’ll save 30% on your entire order!

If you’re too busy washing your cat, or something, today, you’ll get a second chance to save, tomorrow, though it’s not quite as good. On August 20th, 2010, the same code will give you 25% off your order. Plus, it looks like orders of $75+ currently ship for free.

On August 21st, all you’ll get is creepy talking mannequins who steal each others’ legs, and no discount at all. (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, consider yourself lucky. I love Old Navy but that commercial gives me nightmares.)
