    eLuxury Super 80% Off Sale

    eLuxury just launched a super discount where all sale items are an additional 40% off. We found a $1700 Roberto Cavalli dress reduced to just $300. Do that math– that’s more than 80% off! A Proenza Schouler georgette rust-print top was $725 and now $110. A $2300 Versace dress is $400. You get the picture.

    Granted, some of this inventory is left over from fall, but think about it…fall is less than six months away!

    D&G’s Dahlia Sold Out

    Don’t tell me you’re really surprised?

    The deep red shade lipstick premiered on Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall/Winter 2010 runway and now Dahlia has garnered a wait list a mile long. Get this, the lipstick doesn’t even hit the shelves of Saks until tomorrow.

    The Dolce & Gabbana make-up line launches exclusively in the United States at Saks Fifth Avenue– in New York City– and will reach Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills and Saks.com by mid-May. However, if you want Dahlia you might have to wait longer.

    If only, Stefano and Domenico could get the spelling of my name right. It’s D-E-L-I-L-A-H!

    Matthew Williamson for H&M

    The first time I ever heard of Matthew Williamson I was at a lounge in St. Barths and was finding myself bored with the scene and underwhelmed by the fashion. Everything was just so much the same until a striking woman walked in with the most dazzling kaftan. I stared all evening until I found an opening to make a fashion enquiry. At that moment I was introduced to Matthew Williamson.

    It didn’t, however, do me much good. His designs were not to be found in the U.S. I called everywhere looking for a dress like the one I saw until I gave up and made the purchase in London.

    Now — like most of fashion–Matthew Williamson’s designs can be found everywhere. There’s Net-a-Porter for online shoppers, Scoop for neighborhood dwellers and his very own downtown boutique for those who yearn to be close to the source. And now starting tomorrow Matthew Williamson can be found at your local H&M.

    Looking for the aforementioned kaftan look? It’s there.The price, however, isn’t as thrilling as one might have hoped. Is the above H&M dress really worth almost $350? Let us know what you think.

    DVF.com 70% Off

    The virtual DVF store has a 70% off section that contains an assortmant that is perfect for this in between time of year.

    The only snag is that many of the best looks are already out of stock. Go for the bright colors and you might be a bit more lucky if you’re a tiny size 2 or a curvy size 12. Even if you’re neither take the time to look around because we found the above classic wrap dress in a size 8.

    Cadeau Maternity Closing

    I know this is a bit niche but feeling fabulous when you’re pregnant isn’t always easy. For this reason it is forever important that you look as wonderful as you can. This task would have been so much harder without Cadeau’s maternity clothing. All of us lived in our High Tech Pants, which were ironically made out of the same fabric and manufactured at the same factory as Prada’s high-tech fabric pants.

    Well ladies, it was first Liz Lange and now we are saying good-bye to Cadeau. The Elizabeth street store is closing and everything is discounted up to 90% off. The store fixtures are even listed to go. So if you’re ever going to listen to my advice this would be the time. Call your expecting friends or get your pregnant butt down to Nolita today because today is the last day of Cadeau forever.
