The Joys of Alpaca

Posted in Cashmere, Clearance Sales, Original Designs, Outerwear, Scarves, Sweaters at 7:26 am by Deb Savvy

Light, warm and wonderful, there’s nothing not to like about alpaca. Especially right now – I just took a surf over to Alpaca Boutique and am quite pleased to report that there are some beautiful alpaca bargains to be found. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to post any pictures, so you’ll just have to trust me when I say there are some FABULOUS ponchos, sweaters, scarves, shawls, jackets and coats on sale. My personal faves include a turtleneck poncho with fringe in a luscious, rich brown (currently a steal at $85) and a beautiful baby alpaca shawl in a deep rust color (also a great deal at $68). To be honest, even the things that aren’t on sale are quite reasonable, especially considering the quality and workmanship.

Check it out. Totally click-worthy.

The Ultimate in Winter Warmth

Posted in Accessories, Cashmere, Hats, Outerwear, Scarves, Sweaters at 3:22 am by Deb Savvy

Nothing beats alpaca.  Did you know that alpaca is warmer, lighter and more breathable than cashmere? And it’s soft and luxurious like cashmere, too. 

 

And it’s often much more affordable.

In Praise of Cashmere Boutique

Posted in Accessories, All Time Favorites, Bargain Hunting, Bathrobes, Cashmere, Gifts under $100, Gloves, Hats, Menswear, Outerwear, Outlet Shopping, Scarves, Shopping Tips, Sweaters, Womenswear at 8:03 pm by Deb Savvy

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about bargain cashmere shopping at Cashmere Boutique (Dreamy-Little-Cashmere-Accessories) The deals were SO fabulous that I just had to do a bit of shopping for myself.

Free Shipping on Orders above $100  

I ordered a black cashmere v-neck ribbed pull over, a pair of black cashmere cable knit socks (on sale for only $33!) and a burgundy v-neck ribbed cardigan.  The cardigan was out of stock.  I knew that when I placed my order, but I liked it so much and the price was so great that I figured it would be worth the wait.  Yesterday, I received an e-mail from Cashmere Boutique informing me that they would no longer be carrying that particular sweater but that they did have one in the same color (and for the same $99 price) with a slightly different neckline.  The e-mail included a picture of the potential replacement and a quick link to add that item to my prior order with one click.  The sweater was cute, but I wasn’t exactly sure I liked the round neck so I decided to think about it for a while.  Today I came home to a message on my voice mail.  I real live person from Cashmere Boutique called me to make sure I had gotten the e-mail and to apologize for being unable to fill my backorder.  She left me a phone number and her direct extension and assured my that were I to need this item quickly for a gift (after all, Hanukkah is less than a week away) that my replacement cardigan would be express shipped at no charge to me.  Unfortunately, personal service like this is pretty uncommon these days – especially when you’re bargain hunting.  I could not possibly be happier with my shopping experience.  The sweater and socks that I did receive were absolutely terrific and of a much higher quality than I expected, particularly for the price.  If you’re shopping for cashmere this holiday season, start at Cashmere Boutique.  You’ll be as impressed as I am.

Must Have Mike & Chris?

Posted in Designer and Luxury, Leather, Outerwear, Style Watch at 3:11 am by Deb Savvy

Mike & Chris Maxwell are everywhere these days.  At least their leather jackets are.  From the fashion mags to the gossip rags and the well dressed fashionistas on the Avenue.  It seems like every time a leather jacket catches my eye – it’s a Mike & Chris.

 

Like the adorable leather hoodie recently featured in both People and Us magazines as one of Hollywood’s hottest jackets.  And there’s only ONE place to get it - Singer 22.

Adding an Extra Layer of Style

With each day feeling just a bit cooler and shorter than the day before, it’s time to add the layers. But at the same time – it’s way to early to lay on the big and bulky layers. Trim jackets in leather or wool are in order. Perhaps with a scarf and maybe a hat. Gloves too, if it’s that chilly.

A Best Bet for Cold Weather Accessories

Posted in Accessories, Gloves, Hats, Leather, Outerwear, Scarves at 4:03 am by Deb Savvy

When it’s cold outside…  I see it as a full-on fashion opportunity.  I’m a glass half full kind of girl, so I prefer to think of the cold weather as opening the door to a whole new world of accessories.  Hats.  Scarves.  Gloves. Leggings.  Tights.  Essentials every day.  And a chance to have some fun with color, texture and style.

For a great selection of winter accessories, I like Urban Outfitters.  Loads of hats.  From the totally funky to the perfect for every single day.  My faves are a slightly chunky cable knit beret, some soft knit cloche style hats and an adorable menswear check newsboy cap but they’ve got loads more.  Really fun knit scarves in lots of different lengths and styles, many with coordinating gloves or mittens.  And since we’re on the subject of cold weather – they’ve got some really adorable coats and jackets, too. Including a nice selection of sweater coats, perfect for layering and some leather jackets that are quite cute and really well priced.

Let’s Talk About Wool

Posted in Coupon Codes, Every Day Wardrobe, Original Designs, Outerwear, Sweaters at 10:59 pm by Deb Savvy

Let’s talk about that silky-soft, all-natural revelation of a fiber. That constantly renewable, head-spinningly versatile and altogether unmatched material. It’s more then just the best thing clothes could ever be made of: it’s the temperature-regulating, anti-microbial masterwork of nature. Wool has been around practically since people stopped living in trees, so you’d think it wouldn’t have much new to offer. But you’d be wrong, my friend. At Ibex Outdoor Clothing, they know wool is always offering more. How do they know? Well, let’s just say that wool is what they do. With finer weaves, with improved designs, by pairing it off with complementary fibers, they’re constantly pushing wool further. And it’s constantly doing more. They’ve been redefining wool for years. But like wool, they’re really just getting started.

Fun Facts About Wool:

  • 1) Wool is comparatively stronger than steel and can be bent 20,000 times before breaking.
  • 2) Wool can absorb 30% of it’s weight in water.
  • 3) A single fleece from a sheep can contain 100 million fibers of fine wool.
  • 4) Wool is fire resistant.
  • 5) It is estimated that there were over a billion sheep at the end of the 20th century.
  • 6) In 2003, a world record was set for the finest wool. The 11.9 micron bale sold for $1,400 (AUS) per kilo. That’s almost $500 per pound!
  • 7) In New Zealand, sheep outnumber people 10 to 1.

Another fun fact about wool? The fall sale is underway at Ibex. Save 25% on every single regularly priced item on the site. Every single one! That’s FUN! Enter coupon code AFWOOL at checkout. Not valid on sale merchandise.

UPDATE AS OF 1/25/2008: ENTER COUPON CODE DCWOOL AT CHECKOUT TO SAVE 15% ON ALL MERINO WOOLS.
