Deal of the Day: Burberry

Given that much of the country is experiencing very cold, wet, slushy weather, I figured I should find some weather appropriate deals today. Here are a few Burberry pieces on sale that can help you stay warm and dry in classic style.

I am especially loving this down jacket. It's not available in my size...my loss but hopefully someone else's gain! Stay warm!!

Review: Macys.com Customer Service

I've been quite impressed with Macy's lately for their CS and I want to commend them. We often praise Nordstrom for their great CS, but Macy's has come a long way.



The other day I bought an item online only to find it discounted an extra 25% for the President's day sale. My first reaction was to get annoyed, but StylishlyPink suggested I ask for a price adjustment. I did some research for their price adjustment policy or if I had to, return the item and repurchased it again. I had purchased the item when they were offering their 99 cents shipping cost. That promo had expired when the extra 25% took effect. After looking around on macys.com I came upon their price adjustment online form. Apparently if you had forgotten to enter a promo code or any item you purchased is lowered within 10 days, just fill out this form. I actually hate calling CS because nobody wants to deal with the automated system, so I'm glad they created this form. They didn't get back to me for 2 days, but they sent me emails saying "sorry for the delay" and they will get back to me soon. I received an email today that said the difference of the item has been refunded back to me. In the end, I got it at a greater discount AND I was able to get their 99cents shipping I had originally ordered it with. WIN-WIN :) So if you ever forget to enter a promo code (or just find one out later) just contact Macy's through the form and it'll be taken care of quickly.

Another Macy's tip is that their B&M (brick & mortar) store will price match their online store. So always make sure to check both, if possible, for the better price. Don't forget they also usually have 20% off coupons frequently which you can also take back a purchased item and get a price adjustment.

Thank you Macy's!

Deal of the Day - Posh on Main 60% off

StylishlyCreative's post on GoJane.com got me thinking twice about buying designer shoes, but that hasn't stopped me from looking at them. If you're like me and still have a craving for designer goods, check out Posh on Main. Everything is 60% off and lots of good deals are still available. Here are a few that caught my eye.


Some of the deals may be final sale so shop carefully!

Review: Ann Taylor Loft V-Neck Tee

I've been looking for a basic tee for a long time. I wanted something that was slim fitted, but comfortable, the perfect length-where its not too short and long enough for my long torso, thick enough material where I can wear it alone, and soft cotton. I did some research and I had decided upon J.Crew's Tissue Boyfriend Tee, but I was waiting for a free shipping code because I could never find it in the stores and with shipping costs, the price of the tees were still too expensive to justify it. Since tees are basic necessities, they get worn a lot and most people will need more than one in different colors.


Well, I found a different tee this weekend that fits all my criteria, the Ann Taylor Loft V-Neck Tee. They are thick enough that in the color white, you can easily wear it alone. They are soft and have a little bit of a stretch. They are slim fitting with the perfect length where I can tuck it in or not. Most importantly, they were 2 for $25, as their regular price and comes in multiple colors. I ended up buying them in white and black in size small. I'm usually an XS in their clothing, but I figured they might shrink a little in the wash. I highly suggest anyone looking for a basic tee to try these out. My only complaint is that I wish the sleeves were a little bit longer like the J.Crew's. I might end up getting the tissue boyfriend tee and do a comparison post because who doesn't need more tees?
