Deal Brief: Copy Cat Chic

I recently discovered Copy Cat Chic blog. Reichel B., the author, finds inexpensive alternatives to chic, but pricey, home decor items. The concept is nothing new, but I'm utterly amazed at the deals she's been able to find. Her readers help her scour the web for deals, sometimes finding the same exact item at 1/10th of the price. If you're thinking about buying a new piece of furniture or accessory for your home, be sure to check out Copy Cat Chic before putting down your credit card.

Here's just one example post, for more visit Copy Cat Chic!

Sorry Christina and Michelle, but I had to come back to blogging with a bang. Attention all Theory lovers, located on the second floor of an otherwise normal looking office building in Flatiron is the mother of all hidden discount finds: the Theory Company Store. It's open 6 days a week and everything is always, I repeat, always 30% off. There's no gimmick and no coupon required. Plus, all of the merchandise is current (3 weeks behind, but this season) AND they carry everything in a variety of sizes.

139 Fifth Avenue, 2nd floor

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 10am-7pm
Thursday: 10am-8pm

Old Navy is not at the top of most people's list when it comes to work clothes, but the retailer has some great pieces at even lower than normal prices right now. Here are a few work appropriate basics.

Lightweight V-neck Cardigan (24.50)


Linen-Blend Camp Shirt (19.50)


Essential Pencil Skirt (20.00)

Although Tulle describes itself as "hip, funky, and feminine," I spotted some deals that translate well from the street to the office.

Tulle Spring Look 1 (132.00 total for all three pieces)


Solid Cotton Sheen Paper Bag Skirt (31.80)


Tullette V Neck Dress w/Pockets (31.80)

I was shocked to learn yesterday that Phyllis hadn't heard about TheOutnet.com so I figured that if she didn't know about it yet, most of you didn't either. TheOutnet.com is Net-a-Porter's try at competing with Gilt Groupe, Rue La La, and Hautelook. It's a hybrid of sample sale sites and more traditional sale websites like Bluefly.com. The merchandise is very upscale so it's not a place I check every day, only when I'm looking to splurge.

Here are a few of my favorite finds:

An entire page of Herve Leger dresses at 50% off


12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Draped Back Tunic (110.00)


Rupert Sanderson Regal Patent Mary-Janes (278.00)
