Deal du Jour at One Kings Lane: $15 Izola Shower Curtains




Today at OneKingsLane.com you will find super cool shower curtains by Izola for $15, not a bad price considering you'll pay $20 or $25 for similar photo-print curtains at Target or Urban Outfitters. Even Walmart's shower curtains can be pricey, last time I checked they went up to $30! And the exact same shower curtains I've shown above are currently $30 at Unica Home. But I digress. Update your bathroom with a fashion-forward curtain in graphic black and white and you'll feel chic every time you step into the shower.

There are still many styles left of Melissa Shoes on sale now at Gilt.com, including retro cool wedges (shown above, $49) and Vivienne Westwood rain boots ($89). The savings are definitely legit. For example, the Campana Corallo Jelly Flats are $39 at Gilt.com versus $79 at Nordstrom.com. If you like this brand, now's the time to buy them. My sister has a pair and says they are comfortable and don't make her feet sweat. I've never tried them so I can't comment!

About the brand: Brazilian brand Melissa has made its mark on the ubiquitous plastic jelly shoe over the last 30 years, selling variations on the original design in the most exclusive boutiques around the world and collaborating with luminary designers and architects - Vivienne Westwood and Zaha Hadid amongst others. The company, which aims to manufacture according to high environmental standards, is also renowned in its native Sao Paolo for creating a book on sustainable practices in design – the first of its kind to be published in Brazil.
