Les Prairies De Paris L'Effronte Peep Toe

Calling all size 7's to the chic shoe department—pronto, ladies! I've never wished for larger feet until just now, when I stumbled upon these classically beautiful peep-toe pumps on sale... but only in a size 7. I'm sure one of you lucky gals will be Cinderella today and find your tootsies fitting just perferctly into these stylish pumps. I love the contrast of the stacked, wooden, cone heel with the ever-so fashionable grey leather. It's basically a sexy mary jane with just a hint of edginess.

I'm committed to finding you amazing sale items this week—this one fits the bill. Yes, it's still a splurge. But if you've been lusting over Devi Kroell's Italian-made Classic Long Hobo in Anthracite python leather, this is a deal for you. Let's go over the details first: sleek shape, beautiful texture, roomy silhouette, comfortable drape, two inner zip pockets, and a sturdy handle. This will be a mainstay in your handbag arsenal for years to come and it's marked down to $1883. Before you question my sale-hunting capabilities, consider that some handbag lovers paid a whopping $2690 for this tote (at regular price). Hence, this is a bargain in my book.

Limited Edition Converse by John Varvatos Vintage Slip-On

These were on my Christmas wishlist, but I think they must have sold out of my size 6 before anyone snatched them up. Consider yourself lucky if your shoe size falls between 7.5 and 10 because right now you can get them for the bargain price of $28.50. Maybe this is a sign that you'll also be super lucky in the New Year?! Happy Shopping. Buy them at shopbop.com

Susan Brown's Baby Sensitive Baby Basket

This adorable vintage bucket is stocked with four luxe products to pamper even the most sensitive baby-soft skin. It is a fantastic and unique gift for any babe on your shopping list (be it for the holidays or a baby shower). I love the smell of the foaming shampoo and body wash. The diaper therapy ointment is great and we use the lotion-to-powder product on his bum before bedtime. The handy travel pack of cleansing cloths went directly into my handbag for on-the-go use. And of course I kept the bucket and re-used it as a cute place to stash my baby boy's hats (you could also use it to hold baby's socks). Buy it at SusanBrownsBaby.com
