Introducing ThreadSence.com + FREE clothes

by cheapchica11 on January 28, 2010

CONGRATS to Jennifer Prentice…she’s the lucky reader who won this fabulous giveaway!!

The genius team behind ShopRuche.com has done it again…

23

they just launched their newest online store at ThreadSence.com. Just like Ruche, their inventory is full of adorable, affordable selections, but these clothes have more of an edgy, contemporary feel than the vintage-inspired looks that you’ve come to expect from Ruche.

Picture 1They’re also doing their part to help new and up-and-coming designers which I love and totally support!

Their indie limelight section feature small, lesser-known independent designers–including one of my fave ETSY brands, LAMIXX.

One of the (many) things that sets Ruche and now ThreadSence apart from other online stores are their beautiful lookbooks which I look forward to seeing eash season.  It’s a great place to get styling tips and ideas on how to wear the clothes!

To help celebrate their grand opening, we’re partnering up for a fabulous give-a-way of one of their featured looks!

To enter to win the knotted chain tank and black skirt pictured here, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post letting me know your favorite item at ThreadSence.com and one very lucky reader, will win both items!

BTW, if the shopping bug bites you while you’re browsing their site, use code “CHEAPCHICAS” to save 10% off your order now through February.  Good Luck!

NOTE: This contest is only open to US residents and ends on 2/3.  The winner will be notified via email.

Cocktail Chic

by cheapchica11 on November 16, 2009

Picture 1I was fortunate enough to attend a beautiful cocktail event last night in honor of Tory Burch, but getting ready for it was no easy feat!  I was expecting a typical cold and miserable November day but woke up to beautiful sunny skies and 70 degree weather which left me wondering what in the world I was going to wear!

Now I’m not complaining but it did make me realize that I needed to plan better when it comes to cocktail type events and with the Holidays coming up, we’re all going to need an aresenal of a few key dresses that can go between casual and formal, cold to hot temps and everything inbetween.

When you’re out shopping for your Holiday dresses make sure you’re buying something that will work for a variety of occassions so that you get the most bang for your buck.

I happen to be in LOVE with this dress from Ruche and it’s a perfect example of those dresses that can work well for a mutitude of parties/events.

This one is only $54 but get it while you can…something this cute won’t be around for very long!

Vintage-Inspired pLeather Jacket

Loving this fabulous new jacket from Ruche but get it while it’s still in stock…the good stuff sells out fast on this site!

I love the furry/fuzzy look around the neck and cuffs…so cute and more importantly, warm! It’s $72.99 which considering how much other bad faux leather jackets at are selling for, it’s a really good deal!

Give-A-Way #5: $50 from TJ Maxx

by cheapchica11 on September 25, 2009

Picture 3This is why I love TJ Maxx

This entire outfit is under $100 and those suede boots are under $80!

It’s no secret that on any given afternoon when I’ve got some time on my hands, you can find me browsing the racks at my local TJ Maxx.  They have an amazing selection of designer pieces for less than half the retail cost!

I just did a TV segment for Better at their NYC flagship and found two amazing Alice + Olivia dresses that were marked down to $99.99…now that’s a price this CheapChica can handle!

While all of their stores do offer a different selection of clothes, I suggest you look for a store with “The Runway”.  This department stocks BIG designer names like Robert Rodriguez, M by Missoni, and the aforementioned A&O for up to 70% off!

And now you can save even more money at TJ Maxx by entering the TJ Maxx/Cheap Chica’s Anniversary give-a-way!

One lucky reader will win a $50 giftcard!  To enter, leave a comment on this post with the best deal you’ve ever found at TJ Maxx! The last day to submit your comment is Saturday, so don’t let this savings opportunity pass you up!
