Friday Bargain Bin: What to Do With Your Allowance This Week

By Jane Marie March 11, 2011

I sit on my couch and watch TV, paint my nails, and browse websites’ 70%-off sections compulsively. Please buy this stuff for me, or for yourself.

Halston Heritage Silk Satin Mini-Dress, $146.25 (was $325)
This is a perfect LBD. The end.

14k Gold Conch Shell Charm, $99.99
Is this cute or is it gross? Or is it BOTH?

Roadbike Decal & Handlebar Hook, $39 (was $59)
I don’t date bike messengers anymore, so I don’t have to worry about being made fun of for liking this.

Stereogum Monthly Mix: March 2011, Free

Jeffrey Campbell Pewter Cutout Brogue, $72 (were $103)
To go with your long skirts and short shorts this spring. Did you know that’s what you’re doing this spring? You are.

Bing Bang Owl Ring, $86.80 (was $124)
Who? Who? Who is gonna buy me this ring?

Badgley Mischka Leopard One Piece Swimsuit, $85.99 (was $215)
Let’s go swimming right meow.

Watercolor Pocketbook and Postcard Combo, $7.88 (was $27.90)
One time I used watercolor pencils to paint a tomato on a postcard and I mailed it to Simon Rex asking him to come to a BBQ at my aunt’s house. He never responded.

Conair Infiniti Curling Wand Styler, $29 (was $39 but I paid $49 for the exact same one here in NYC!)
This is my new favorite hair toy. Maybe I’ll make a ‘torial about it?
