beegee bags winner!! (and some holiday deals)

congratulations to entry #5, stephanie c! i guess the early bird really does get the worm (er, the adorable clutch…you know). stephanie said “ooh, these are adorable! i would love one!” – and i couldn’t agree more. stephanie, email me (editor at shoppingsmycardio dot com) over the weekend to claim your prize….if i don’t hear from you by monday, we’ll re-draw 🙂

and now, a consolation prize: brooke, the owner of beegee bags, says she never wins a contest. so, for those who are in her boat, she’s offering 20% off any beegee bag for SMC readers. just go through the regular checkout process, but note in the comments that you’re one of my readers…and she’ll promptly refund the discount!

speaking of deals, i thought i’d share the latest and greatest of the holiday markdown madness that is making its way to my inbox this week.

the lovely laura of prismera designs is offering all of us 25% off through the end of the year on her stunning jewelry. i have a feeling this will take care of a good chunk of my holiday shopping list. use code FRIENDS25 at checkout.
starting today, brooklyn industries is offering 30% off sitewide, including sale items! use code FFAM08 to score some deals for yourself, or your trendy younger siblings.
i don’t normally bother with the sample sale mentions, as i realize it’s just torture for those of us who don’t live in the area. but if you’re lucky enough to live in LA, this one’s well worth a venture. laROK and elizabeth & james are teaming up for a sample sale dec 11-13 that promises to be pretty freaking fantastic. think 75% off some of the hottest designs out there this season. 5175 s. soto street in vernon, ca.
jcrew is giving 20% off orders over $150 with code GIFTS, through monday (12/8). i’ve been waiting for a deal like this to justify some new boots. i know, totally in the spirit of giving, right?
30% off all sale goodies at cole haan with code DECSALE30 (and free shipping!). this is a great chance to nab some gifts for him. i love these shearling gloves or slippers for him…and will likely use my savings to justify these lovely silver peep toes. hey, spring has to show up sometime!
it’s your last day for 20% off at iomoi with code lastchance. good only on orders over $150, but this is a great one-stop-shopping opportunity. their paperweights are divine for a workaholic, their serving trays are stunning for a hostess, and their custom stationery…well, that’s just plain cute! iomoi definitely falls under that ultimate gifting category of “luxuries people won’t buy for themselves”.
