Today on Gilt, shop discounted jewelry by Amrita Singh, whose popular Indian-inspired costume jewelry has been seen on Gossip Girl and A-listers like Jennifer Lopez (not to mention your favorite fashion bloggers). Choose from Bollywood glam bangles, statement necklaces and cocktail rings, as well as wear-to-work pieces that are colorful, unique and totally chic. Many pieces are under $50 so don't delay.

Today on Gilt, shop jewelry from Nicole Richie's vintage-inspired House of Harlow 1960 collection at a significant discount. Choose from stackable rings, deco pendants, glam bangles and more. Many are priced under $50! I have a House of Harlow necklace and two rings and I reach for them all the time. They're really wearable for everyday yet make a big statement, garnering plenty of "where'd you get that?" comments.

Other sales going on now include Miguelina, Zac Posen, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent and more.

I've been lusting after a Foley + Corinna handbag for what seems like years. There's something so classic yet modern and fresh about their signature City Tote (probably why so many brands have copied them, too). At their Holiday 2010 preview in New York City, I had the chance to really see all their bags up close and personal, and it was heaven. Yet somehow I always seem to miss the opportunity to purchase one of these luxe bags for less during those rare flash sales on sites like Gilt. But today, I'm ready to strike! My only dilemma will be deciding which color to get. I'm torn between the gray, brown or red. Suggestions?

P.S. Get to the sale the second it begins at 12 noon ET, these bags always sell out super fast. Other sales starting at noon include Tibi, Gorjana jewelry, Cosabella and more.

If you're looking for casual yet seductive dresses for summer, check out the Riller & Fount sale going on now at Gilt Groupe. You'll find soft draped tops, simple maxi dresses, skirts and dresses, all under $100. I love the neutral color palette and versatility of this brand, though I've yet to own anything from their collection. Maybe today's the day!
