From Francesca’s Inbox: Monday “Basic Black” Edition

Filed under: Boots,From Francesca's Inbox,Gift Ideas,Holidays,Perfume,Sales,Shoes — Francesca @ 9:51 am

Hello! Here we go in alphabetical order (mostly):

Avenue and Jessica London will give you free shipping on your purchase of $60 or more with code AV91140. This code is good through December 10. Shop both stores here.

Catherines is having a Buy Two, Get One Free sale in stores and online ending today. Buy any two items, and get any third (for equal or lesser value) for free. Francesca’s Picks: Buy the sleeved, accessorize-for-the-office black dressicon (pictured) and this taffeta ruched dressicon for the office party (pictured), get the border print dressicon (pictured) for free to wear on date night with your husband.

Designer Shoes (“for women who leave a larger footprint”)will give you 25% off any shoes today with code SALESHOESNOV. And, through Monday November 30, 20% off anything on the site with code CYBERMONDAY. Their apparel does run in plus sizes.

Just My Size sale on Playtex bras is still going on.

Old Navy will give you 15% off purchases of $75, or 25% off purchases of $100, ending today, with code ONSAVE15. Also, through December 15, free shipping on any purchase of $50 or more. Click here to go straight to plus sizes.

Perfumania has posted a holiday gift guide, which allows you to shop by price or by recipient. Francesca does not normally recommend buying frangrance for anyone whose favorite scents you do not know for sure, but it could be nice for a teenage girl or for the vague acquaintance who seems to have everything. Those who read this blog often know that Francesca personally wears Light Blue and Euphoria.

Shoe Mall is selling something attractive for the edgy or biker girl: Harley Davidson brand boots.  And, order any Harley footwear and enter code SMHARLEYD in the “promo code” to receive a little collectible Harley Davidson motorcycle, while supplies last (Francescais not telling you this because she loves the Harleys, but because some of you might). Francesca’s picks: the Tiff boot, the Carlin boot.

Silhouettes is having a jeans sweepstakes. Enter here before November 30 for a chance to win any pair of Blue Couture brand jeans of your choice.

Smart Bargains is having a liquidation sale on designer brandsicon, ending today. Click here to shop by sizeicon (see the nav bar on the left). Francesca says: These are good brands at very good prices.

Chico’s has completely renovated their style and are not nearly as matronly as they used to be. Through Thursday they will give you 50% off your most expensive item if you spend $100 or more and enter code 6693.

Happy shopping! xoxo

  1. Francesca, thank you – I am despo looking for clothes for my Ma for her Xmas gift (she hates the shopping with a passion, plus plus size options for ladies of age in New Zealand are less than idea. Quelle suprise, I know).

  2. As a side note, I work for Catherine’s, and they’ve altered the Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale slightly – most stores are doing the B2G1 OR 30%, whichever is the better deal. I can’t say that it’ll be the same on the website, but the stores are doing it!

    We were, shall I say, unamused with the unannounced, mid-stream change to the sale. But it’s a good deal if you can’t find three things (or things in multiples of three) that you like.

    And I LOVE the border print dress. So pretty. Just my speed, and so chic. The taffeta I’m not so crazy on – I dislike the neckline, and the hem is too long for my height.
