BasicBoutique.com: TGIF Sale - 40% Off!!

BasicBoutique.com is offering 40% off today (09/17/10) because it's FRIDAY!!  Use code "FRIDAY40" for the entire site.  So what would I nab for 40% off?  These four September-appropriate items:

• Rachel Pally Oversized Origami Top in ivory ($59.40):  The draping on this top is causal and not overly done.  I'm thinking this is a great fall top to wear to brunch or a casual dinner. Just avoid red wine if you wear this top to dinner!

• Myne Cassidy Dress in grey ($147.60):  Wear this floaty chic dress while you can!  We're still expecting a few 80s days here and there.  And when it cools off, pair this dress with a swingy cardigan/wrap.

• Loeffler Randall Spaghetti Shoulder Blouse in black ($75):  I'm a firm believer that you can never have enough black tops, sweaters, and shirts.  The spaghetti shoulders adds a nice edge to your basic black silk top.

• Line Gaile in taupe ($83.16):  I live for cashmere but cashmere isn't always the best choice (think rainy days, cool-ish but not quite cool/cold days, something to throw on right after the gym...you get my drift).  And how could I not like the pockets??

• Elena Ghiselini Cupido Bag in cocco ($419.40):  I've posted this item before but not at this fantastic price!  I like that this is a nice neutral brown.  

• Yali Sweater in lapin ($89.40):  This sweater is perfect for your transition into Fall!

• Briggi Dress in cool grey ($59.40):  Before it gets too cold, pair this dress with a cardigan or wrap and you're ready for a casual dinner!  The navy version is very versatile as well!

Food Therapy: Free Dessert Day (via OpenTable.com): 09/15/10!!

Today (09/15/10) is Free Dessert Day!!  In celebration of Top Chef Just Desserts, OpenTable.com has partnered with a slew of restaurants (but not all restaurants) and is offering a free dessert for every 2 diners (each person must order a minimum of one entree).

If you were planning to go out to dinner tonight, take a look at the restaurants participating in today's Free Dessert promotion. They're automatically on my good list for the remainder of the year for doing this because really, what's better than free dessert at a restaurant??

And if you weren't planning on going out to dinner tonight, maybe a free dessert will change your mind?
