Need a cute new dress for Spring? Hop on over to the The Limited, where for the next two hours only (noon to 2:00 p.m. Eastern) you can use coupon code 260 to take 40% off of any regularly-priced dress.
This is one of those you snooze, you lose kinds of things. But if you’re online on your lunch break, well, victory (and a bargain) may be yours.

We’ve had a couple of days of gorgeous weather, and I’m dreaming of summer. Apparently the folks at 6pm.com are, too, because today’s specials are all about stuff you’ll be ready to rock out with this summer. They’ve got Reefs, Ocean Minded, and I don’t know how I missed O’Neill for all of this time, because in addition to shoes they have some adorable (and cheap) clothing.
I’m ready for flip flops and fruity drinks by the pool, man.

We haven’t had a Coldwater Creek deal in a while, have we? Check this out: Shop now through March 11th, 2010, and use coupon code FB2550 to take $25 off your $50+ purchase.
(This is the sort of thing that will absolutely kill my morning; I’ll spend way too much time figuring out how to get my order as close to $50 as possible. It’s a sickness, I’m aware.)

Someone left a comment last week asking me just how many pairs of shoes I have. I suppose it’s logical to conclude I’m some sort of minor Imelda Marcos based upon my deep love of pretty shoes, but the truth is that I don’t actually have all that many pairs of shoes compared to most women I know. For one thing, I window shop a lot. For another, I often shop for the rest of my family (fulfilling my shoe jones without actually outfitting myself). And finally, I’m pretty good about rotating through my closet and donating stuff I haven’t worn in a long time.
Be all of that as it may, I was, um, in my closet yesterday realizing that I’m about to capacity until the next clean-out, so I am not shopping for shoes right now. Even though today’s deals at 6pm.com include New Balance, Dansko, Clarks… um, is it warm in here? No? Just me? Ahem.
Okay, well, you go shop and have a good time. Just, uh, come back and tell me if you got something good. I need a little vicarious thrill to tide me over.

I know, who could imagine we need more shoe deals, right? But as much as I love 6pm.com, I sometimes have trouble finding what I want for my kids, there. (I never have any trouble finding shoes for me, however….)
So I hopped on over to Famous Footwear, which has several advantages over 6pm, particularly for kids’ shoes. First of all, if you buy three or more pairs, shipping is free. Second of all, I can always manage to buy three or more pairs, because I have a local Famous Footwear and you can do returns there (just sayin’). Third, right now you can use coupon code BLOOM for 20% off your order.
And finally—and this is key—I discovered that searching the “Sale” category doesn’t actually show you all of the sale shoes. (Why? I have no idea. Site glitch, I’m guessing.) When I searched the sale shoes for my son, I didn’t find anything I wanted. When I just searched boys’ athletics, though, I found him a pair of New Balance sneakers for $40 off (that hadn’t shown up in the Sale section). I used the 20% off, ordered three pairs (what? my daughter needed shoes, too), and congratulated myself on another great bargain find.

Two pieces of excellent news for you this morning:
1) I have decided to live. (I know you were worried.)
2) In addition to the usual suspects on sale at 6pm.com today, they’ve also provided a handy link to “Great new discounts” in both men’s and women’s shoes (scroll down the main page a bit to see them), and it’s a veritable cornucopia of brands and styles at those rock-bottom 6pm prices we love.
Frankly, I wouldn’t blame you for being more excited about the second item than the first one. I kind of am.

Okay, I get that Reef is a hot brand of flip-flops for the cool kids, and that I will probably never understand a beach sandal that’s regularly priced at over $50. All of that aside, I was just cruising the Reefs at 6pm.com (because they’re only around $20, there) and came across this Reef Fanning that has a bottle opener built into the sole.
A bottle opener. In your shoe.
My favorite part is that in the bulleted feature list, it says: Church key to open your “soda” bottle. Uh huh. It’s to open your “sodas,” fellas.
The mind, it boggles.

… they brought back $.99 shipping on every item at Kohls, and I almost missed it. Today is the last day. (I would’ve told you sooner, but I was busy dying, as previously mentioned.)
Now that I’m all doped up on prescription cough medicine (wheeeee!) I’m going through the clearance there and noticing all kinds of delightful little deals, so it’s worth a look.
Today is also the last day to save 15% on your order with coupon code MVC365 if you’re paying with a Kohls card, and for the rest of the week you can use code NEW6814 to save 10% no matter how you pay.
I would totally be shopping right now if I could keep my eyes open for longer than fifteen minutes at a time.

The next couple of days are good ones to shop at Old Navy; through March 4th, 2010, the Fundamentals Sale is still going on, plus you can take 20% off new Spring styles with coupon code ONSPRING. That’s not even mentioning that code ONFREE75 is still working for free shipping on $75+. Except that I just did. Mention it, that is.
My kids are always happy with clothes from Old Navy, and you know I’m always happy when I don’t actually have to go to the store. Total win.

Today’s Amazon Gold Box is filled with Bearpaw boots for just $30, and they look suspiciously like some other very popular boots that my daughter swears “everyone has,” but that make me say something that sounds a lot like the brand name when I see them. What was it, now? I don’t know; it was just on the tip of my tongue a minute ago….
(Great time to pick up a pair to put away for next winter, is all I’m sayin’.)
