‘Tis the Season…to Stretch your Holiday Style Budget

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Shopping for Christmas or any other December event? You’re running out of time…and if you’re also low on cash, Covet Shop is offering free shipping on orders over $300. Here, we’ve selected some fabulous items — many of which have been further reduced from Covet Shop everyday great prices.

Bags, bags, bags. Here’s a tip for you Wise Men out there stumped for gift ideas: I can’t think of any woman who wouldn’t love to receive a hot new handbag, no matter the occasion. That you saved a bundle on it can be our little secret.

Somehow, these reminded me of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. From top: Cartier La Dona Satchel; Marc Jacobs Stam bag (reduced to $475); Balenciaga Cherche Midi clutch (reduced to $495)

A gift…for you. Sometimes holiday entertaining makes us just want to escape south to Florida or the islands. For such pursuits, you deserve a new dress and sunglasses after all that cooking and baking.

Covet Shoposcope – Sagittarius

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Sagittarians, it’s your month. Just in time for the end of the year and the beginning of a new one, we thought we’d start a new monthly Covet Shop feature dedicated to the 12 signs of the Zodiac.

Let’s start with Sag’s style icons: Namely, celebrity Sagittarians who are totally badass and reckless – like Tina Turner, Kim Basinger, Tyra Banks, and Jim Morrison. How can you go wrong?

A fire sign, Sagittarius (the archer), is infamous for its good-natured yet reckless lust for life and – to quote the Darkside Zodiac – “anarchic joy of sheer naughtiness.” Sagittarians have been bit by the lure of wanderlust, and seek life’s meaning through a never-ending string of adventure. Above all, if you are a Sagittarius you are most likely an extrovert and, that being said, we’ve picked out some key pieces that demand attention.
