i’ve been wishing and hoping that the massive sale at ron herman would improve to include some fabulous basics, and that day is here.  save 40% on personal faves like decadently warm cashmere from inhabit and demylee, hip outerwear from mike and chris, and amazing fashion finds from haute hippie.

let’s see if i can do this in the spirit of giving.  i’ll be snapping up that gorgeous striped boatneck in superthick cashmere from demylee, now down to $186…for my mom, who is forever complaining she’s cold.  ooh, or maybe that phoeve dress would be just the thing.  

for my dear friend who’s vastly more trendy than me, this fleece jacket from citizens of humanity (down to $121) is a no-brainer…especially if she’ll let me borrow it.

and since i’m still desperately lacking in the stunning holiday dress department, i’ll snap up this stunning paillette sheath from haute hippie (down to $360), which will be positively perfect for this new year’s eve…and many more to come.

hey, i can’t be selfless ALL month!

just one little caution – the goodies are final sale, so be sure you love what you’re nabbing.  but really, how could you not?

and of course, don’t forget about all of the other fab deals we have this week:  25% off at gorjana, 15% off at 479 popcorn, a huge 30% off at kate mchale and 20% off at linda & harriett!  with steals this good, how is it possible your holiday shopping isn’t already done?!

i have been agonizing over which linda & harriett goodies to feature for holiday this year – everything is just so lovely!  fortunately, they’ve saved me the trouble and created a completely customizable gift pack, so my worries are over.

each set contains one of their stunning letterpress calendars (seriously, you have to see these to believe it…SO beautiful), a 100-page printed notepad (my pick is the cheeky little moose, but the zigzag is a more refined choice), a pack of notecards (the hedgehog and the birch trees are my favorites), all wrapped up in kraft paper and sealed with an adorable die-cut tag shaped like a pig (or a butterfly, but really…pig all the way) to which they’ll add your handwritten message.

i love that you can choose which notepad, cards, and tag go on each set, so that you really can make a set fit your recipient’s personal style.  but even better, linda & harriett is kindly offering 20% off their entire site through the holidays with code FRIENDS, bringing the cost down to about $43.  

this is a perfect gift for a boss, anyone that’s a born hostess or just a lover of fancy paper goods.  to be honest, it’s a great stand-by gift as well…i can’t think of a woman i know that wouldn’t be thrilled by this!

check out all of the goodies at linda & harriett’s site.  if nothing else, make sure you pick up that letterpress calendar for yourself.  it will make the next year so much easier to look forward to.
