Delia's has drastically reduced the price on all Havaianas Flip Flops from $19.50 down to just $9.99! Choose from blue, brown, purple, yellow, or orange. S-XL (S fits size 5/6, M fits 7/8, L fits 9/10, XL fits 10/11).

One thing to note about the sizing: I usually wear a size 9 or 9 1/2 in regular shoes, but the pair of Havaianas I recently picked up at the Gap are a size 7/8 and they fit me perfectly. Just something to keep in mind if you get a pair!

These flip flops really are as comfy as everyone claims. And the rubber is holding up nicely, hasn't worn down or become compacted (wish I could say the same for my cheap-o Target pair). Thanks to reader Jackie for the tip!

And the winners are…

• 
  #28 Alexandra, "I've definitely been loving statement jewelry and mixing soft, feminine clothes with metal studded/chain accessories this summer. Fun!"
  
  


• 
  #12 Christina, "I gotta say, I've really embraced the 'borrowed from the boys' look, living in my Hanes and comfy jeans. This is a huge change for me, I usually live in dresses and skirts."
  
  


• 
  #62 Puja, "By far, i have been, and still am, obsessed with boyfriend blazers. their versatility and ability to completely transform (in the best way possible) a dress or a casual outfit into something more sophisticated is unbelievable."
  
  


• 
  #72 l i s a, "I love gladiator sandals!"
  
  


• 
  #87 jasmine, "Gotta love pairing summer dresses with boots. Its so chic!"

Congrats to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered!

The leading online designer dress site, eDressme.com, is jumping on the "Cash for Clunkers" bandwagon—but instead of trading in a clunker, they're asking customers to round up their gently used dresses.

That's right: eDressMe is encouraging customers to donate a dress to receive 15% off their next purchase. When you donate, eDressme can even provide you with a prepaid shipping label for the donation. Upon receiving your package, eDressMe will issue you a coupon code for the discount.

Best of all, the garments will be donated to Good Will, and you don't have to wait on Uncle Sam for your rebate. Way to stimulate the economy! Or at the very least, your wardrobe.

The promotion, which began on Monday, August 10th, will run through August 31st, 2009. Visit eDressme.com for all the details.
