There's a new tool available to us Budget Babes that will ensure we never miss another sale: It's called Shoptagr, and it's a free and easy way to find out when items you love go on sale in your preferred size and color.

Here's how it works: With a couple clicks, install the FREE Shoptagr bookmarklet tool (kinda like the Pinterest Pin It tool). Then, whenever you're shopping online and find something you love but would really, really love if it was on sale, click the Shoptagr button in your browser and save the item to your account. When the item goes on sale, Shoptagr will notify you via email. That's it!

Lips seem to be a recurring theme today: Earlier I found these lip print sweaters, and now I've stumbled upon two sequinned lip sweaters. The splurge is by Marcus Lupfer, who designs luxe lightweight sweaters with signature graphic motifs like the "lips" shown above. But it hardly seems worth paying nearly $500 for something that's probably a fleeting trend. I say go for the steal at H&M! Pair with skinnies and pointy toe pumps for a cheeky look. Kiss, kiss.

Splurge: Marcus Lupfer 'Lara' Sequined Lips Wool Sweater, $475 at saksfifthavenue.com
Steal: Sequin lips sweater, $29.95 at hm.com

Alice + Olivia's pout embroidered cardigan is $220.80 (down from $368) at Saks Fifth Avenue, while a similar look for less is just $24 at The Limited! I think I prefer the budget version in red and camel even more than the original (see below!)

And if you have enough sweaters to get you through the winter, browse the rest of thelimited.com - save 50-60% off sitewide, plus an extra 50% off sale items. Take that, Black Friday.

I wanted to wish everyone celebrating a very Merry Christmas today! To everyone who stops by to read this blog, thank you so much. This year I am most grateful for my amazing little boy who is 18 months old (where does the time go?!) and for my loving husband who is also the world's greatest Dad. May your holiday season be filled with joy and love. With love and gratitude, Dianna
