Amidst our end-of-summer heartbreak (the scarce number of tank-tops left in stores is cringe-worthy, don't you think?), we can still rely on budget-friendly daily deal sites for a whole lotta love. These retail romancers don't limit us to one season: From crafting supplies to designer-inspired jewelry, there's something seductive for every shopper year-round. Here are the need-to-know details of six of our favorite daily-deal sites wooing us right now. Have a site that you can't live without? Tell us about it in the comments!

Leather (or faux leather) detailing is cropping up on everything for fall. Stay cozy in this trend with Autumn Cashmere's $308 leather trim sweatshirt. Or get the look for $45 elsewhere. See if you can spot the "real" from the steal by clicking either image below.

Is there any season more exciting than fall when it comes to fashion? Cozy cardigans, leather boots, and classic coats have me waving goodbye to Summer by mid-August. And as if we aren’t excited to see Free People’s monthly catalog at any time of the year, August is especially satisfying. It’s like a delicious appetizer to what we can expect in September, the fashion month of all fashion months. Free People’s August lookbook, Bonsai Boy, doesn’t disappoint.

I have some exciting news to share with you today - The Budget Babe is officially adding a talented roster of contributing writers to the blog! When I put the word out that I was looking for interns/writers, the response I received was overwhelming, and I'm honored to have such enthusiastic "budget babes" joining the team.

My goal is to bring you even more great budget-friendly content while giving other up-and-coming writers a chance to share their passion and their voice with a wider audience. This was how I envisioned TheBudgetBabe.com back in 2007 when I first started blogging, but as the saying goes, time flies when you're having fun and I just never got around to it - until now.

Please give these ladies a warm welcome and feel free to share your feedback in the comments. And to my readers both old and new, thank you for your support. I promise not to change the essence of TBB, just make it better. —BB
