Furla medium leather bag, Orig. $194.00 Now $97.00 at Yoox.com

The Deal: Last Call Sale on YOOX.COM, take up to an Extra 80% off! plus free standard shipping on all orders.

Why You Need It: Truth be told, you don't, but I'm curious to hear if there are any Yoox.com fans out there. Personally, I find their selection to be rather overwhelming and their prices to be exorbitant. However, I was perusing their sale section and spotted a few diamonds in the rough, like the versatile Furla leather purse above (still not cheap but compared to a $937 Emilio Pucci sequined dress, it seemed like a steal...)

Give the site a look and let me know what you think!

The Deal: Shop Old Navy’s Fundamentals Sale: the best basics at amazing prices.

Today's sales at Gilt Groupe include Giambattista Valli, Azaara jewelry, and Gryson handbags. Sorry for the late notice, I was out shoveling snow (got a good 8 inches and it's still falling). Ladies should be sure to check out the McQueen men's sale too, I missed out on an awesome skull scarf (which is obviously unisex)! Argh. All sales start today, Monday 3/2 at 12 PM ET.
