Fascinating International Shopping Tip

This is pretty random, but now through the end of the month (March 31, 2013), Saks is offering free shipping to Canada, the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, and Japan on purchases of $99 and up (use code FREESHIP13). I wish they'd make that offer permanent. Americans who want free shipping will have to spend at least $150, and use code SFAMAR.

Neiman Marcus In Circle

Neiman Marcus's InCircle event is April 12–15, and that means gifts with purchase at just about every counter. The gifts are pretty stellar, so if you've been contemplating a purchase, this is a great time. Though I didn't photograph them, the fragrance gifts are also really nice (mini bottles and rollerballs — lovely!). I did my research at Northpark (in Dallas), so gifts may vary slightly at different stores and online. ARMANI Spend $150 at Armani and you'll receive a cute bag containin...

Shopping Tips

I'll admit, I am mostly a "retailer" shopper online — sites like Nordstrom.com and Sephora.com and NeimanMarcus.com make it easy to get free shipping. (And I hate paying for shipping.) But brands' websites do offer better gifts, and I've seen a few lately that I thought you ought to know about: BOBBI BROWN Get a free full-sized Treatment Lip Shine SPF 15 in Plumberry with your $65 order at BobbiBrownCosmetics.com. Use code PLUM11. One per customer, valid through April 13th. Get a free ...
