ShopBop is my favorite online retailer for a variety of reasons, but around this time of year, the company’s amazing sales take top billing. They’ve just added loads of new stuff to the site’s sale page, so what are you waiting for? You know that the best stuff sells out on the first day.
The last time we wrote about the Marc by Marc Jacobs Save the Birds Lenny Day Bag, the Saks pre-order sold out so quickly that many people didn’t get a chance to reserve theirs. Now that it’s back, we thought we’d let you know in case you’re one of the people whose pre-order attempts weren’t successful the first time around.
And if this is your first time hearing of this bag, please allow us to register a hearty recommendation in its favor; the materials are beautiful, the design is interesting but functional, and the price is far more palatable than we’d expect for a purse that looks this good. For those who prefer darker colors, the bag also comes in chocolate brown. Buy through Saks for $528.

I give any of you who braved the crowds on Black Friday mad props. It simply is not for me. I am not one who loves crowds and I tend to be a horrible deal finder. Put me in a store with every item half off, I will find the one item that is full priced. That is precisely why I am a huge fan of Cyber Monday. Some shops are giving us free shipping while others are offering major deals (think ShopBop and Net-A-Porter).
Thus far I completed much of my holiday shopping and grabbed some of the most amazing deals yet. What retailers are you visiting for Cyber Monday and what kind of deals have you nabbed?
I may have skipped the Black Friday hordes because of past retail experience, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t buy anything during the year’s busiest retail weekend. I ordered a cute printed dress from Saks and will probably place at least one ShopBop order before today is done in order to take advantage of my favorite e-tailer’s massive sale. Having skipped the crowds entirely, I’m feeling quite accomplished as an online shopper.
But since we’re a blog that celebrates shopping in all of its various and sundry forms, we want to hear from you, our lovely readers: Did you pick up anything special this weekend? What stores did you hit and who had the best sales? Links, pictures, stories or all of the above are welcomed in the comments. We hope that your shopping weekend was as successful as ours!
I would go as far as to suggest that getting your holiday shopping done early this year sounds like a mighty fine idea. The good folks at Net-A-Porter US make it easy to get a head start with up to 50% markdowns of your favorite bags, clothing, shoes and accessories. This just went live, the good stuff goes fast.
If you are like the PurseBlog team, you are avoiding Black Friday in store shopping like the plague. Instead, bundle up in something comfy (and with a stretchy waistline after yesterday’s Thanksgiving stuffing) to join us in safe and money saying online shopping. Saks has a short Thanksgiving sale happening today. Prices are back up tomorrow so hop on over to Saks and check out what they have to offer.
Starting today, ShopBop gives you a good reason to spend Black Friday from home instead of battling thousands of eager shoppers in brick & mortar stores. The sale calls for big savings in addition to 20% off hundreds of new items. Use the code BIGEVENT at checkout to save!
