Buy: Sephora by OPI Nail Polish

I just discovered that Sephora by OPI nail polish is now available for a super deep discount! Seriously, 50% off doesn't happen everyday and OPI's long lasting fomulas and wide range of colors are now available in store and online for just $4.50 a bottle. Just $3 if you want one of the "Blasted" crackling formulations. Trend Tips and Toes are $6 a pack while nail sets are $12 a set. So if you're a bit of a nail polish fiend like me, it's your perfect chance to stock up on colors.

To note a lot of the stock has already sold out at stores! When I asked a sales associate why, it turns out that the cosmetic giant has decided to discontinue the line of nail polish with OPI and will be replacing it with their own "S" brand soon.

Sample Sale Report: Be & D

While I struck out in my attempt to make it to the Yigal Azrouel sample last night because they closed early, here is a look from the Be & D sample sale. If you are a size 36 or 39 you're in luck because it's sample size and you can pick up some uber tongue-in-cheek sneakers for just $25 a pop! If you're not a sample size, don't fret, I saw shoes ranging from a 36 all the way to a 41 although the greatest concentration of sizes was between a 36 and a 39 1/2.  There also were a few size 43 Men's sneakers if you're so inclined to pick up a pair of skeleton printed shoes for the man in your life for $25 as well. Stock sneakers are $45, Other shoes ranged from $60 to about $140.  Rainboots all appeared to be a size 8 and samples are $45 a pair. Belts are $30 and come in both small and medium size.


Aside from shoes, the big draw would be purses and they have all shapes and sizes, in a variety of colors from black to neutral to neon.

Small leather goods ranged from lazer cut leather iPad cases for $120 to leather pouchettes and wallets for $40-80.

There were a huge assortment of handbags in faux snake, lazer cut, ruffled and studded variations. Clutches were $200, the snake trapeze bags above $270,  $275 for the slouchy bags above.

The heavily studded bag weighs in at $375, the ruffled bag $350, $300 for the lazer cut tote, $100 for the mini purses.

It was $260 for the leather trim tote, $125 for the combo tote beside it, the all leather color block totes are $350 a pop while the fun neon snake number is $270.

If you're looking for some flashy kicks with fun graphic elements or some bag with rock & roll flair, this is your sample sale.
