In
a fashion recession, shopping smart is the way to survive. I normally try to shop smart, but with
the holidays around the corner and money top of mind, it's great to have some survival tools.
I told you about
SaleHabit.com, a site that allows you to only search the best of the best sales right now.
Scrounging through Delia's clearance section was well worth the effort. It's currently stocked with tons of clothes and accessories marked up to a whopping
80 percent off. Doesn't this
Delia's Lila Animal Print Cardigan ($15, originally $45) remind you of something Kate Moss would wear?

I've been good with saving money lately so I decided to treat myself to a little shopping. Luckily, I can splurge without spending mucho at BCBG's Winter sale. Right now, you can save up to
50 percent off on an array of festive offerings.

You need not play rugby to take advantage of
Ralph Lauren Rugby's sale. You do, however, have to appreciate preppy chic. Blazers, dresses, polo shirts, and cargo pants are all up to 50 percent off.

Let me put it this way:
Funky Lala's sale section has so many goodies, it was seriously difficult for me to choose one item to spotlight. Botkier bags, Tashkhent by Cheyenne shoes, Pegah Anvarian dresses are all extraordinarily Fab.
I finally picked this
Gryson Tate Papery Patent Navy with Black Bag ($415, originally $875) because I've been craving a navy bag for Fall.
The credit crunch has meant sales are the only time when it feels justified to shop. Good news then that
my-wardrobe are currently offering up to
80% off in their mid season sale.
The sale includes pieces by big designer names such as Sass & Bide, Biba and Paul Smith.
Old Navy knows we're
suffering through hard times. To show compassion, the chain is hosting a huge sale. For one week only, you can save up to
50 percent on outerwear ranging from sherpa coats to metallic puffers.

The past few weeks have definitely been cold enough for it to be officially declared winter in the UK. Personally, I prefer the warmer summer months, but the silver lining of winter is that you can pile on the layers!
When it comes to
knitwear, you really can't beat cashmere, and the idea of wrapping up in this
short sleeve cardigan (£95) is appealing.

Rick Owens, Catherine Malandrino, Helmut Lang, Calvin Klein — these are just some of the designers whose goods are
on sale at Designer Laundry. You'll mostly find jackets and dresses, with some bags and shoes sprinkled in.
What do you think about this
Catherine Malandrino Lunar Print Dress, size 4 ($154, originally $280)?
Nordstrom's half-yearly sale is up and running so I suggest you jump on it — now. It's time to
save mucho dinero on a copious amount of goodies marked up to
40 percent off. I'm nabbing this
BCBG Max Azria Sweater Dress ($94, originally $158).
