theOutnet.com to Mark First Anniversary with a $1 Pop-up Sale

On Friday April 16th, theOutnet.com is celebrating their 1st birthday with a one-day giveaway sale where all items will be £1 / $1 / €1. Can you imagine?!

Of course, there's a limit of one item per guest, and you need to register and RSVP in order to access the sale on the day via a secret link that will be sent to you via email—but if I can score a $1 Hermes scarf or $1 DVF wrap-dress, it'll be worth the trouble! (I have no idea what kind of items will be offered, just imagining the possibilities.)

Even if you've already registered for an account at theOutnet.com, you'll still need to RSVP. Follow this link to get the hook-up!

Ask BB: Finding Felicity Huffman's Bandage Style Dress for Less




My school prom is coming up on just over a month and ideally I would like a dress similar to the one worn by Felicity Huffman on the cover of this Desperate Housewives DVD (far right, bandage style dress.) The color is unimportant, I would just like to find a dress in this style as I like the fit of it and the neckline, fabric and sleeves but so far have been unsuccessful. Any help would be much appreciated. —R

True to her Desperate Housewives persona, Felicity shows off her toned bod in a bandage style satin dress with a deep v-neck plunge neckline. Here are 5 dresses ranging from $27.80 to $235 that will help you get a similar look, hopefully one of these options will work for you!

1. EXPRESS BANDED DRESS, $79.50

The Look for Less: Moschino Pearl-Embellished Jacket



Moschino at ShopStyle


Moschino's crepe pearl-embellished jacket sells for $2,495 at Net-a-Porter.com. Very iconic in the tradition of Coco Chanel, but the pricetag is way out of reach!



INC International Concepts at ShopStyle


INC takes this classic style of collarless jacket and gives it an edgy makeover with stud trim instead of pearls—not to mention a much more manageable price. $119 at Macys.com.
