Wonder what it would be like to rummage through Anna Wintour’s closet. Imagine all of the goodies: shoes, bags, scarves, cashmere, merino wool, and silk. Well, I just found another online sample sale and it is called the Editor’s Closet.

You no longer have to pay retail prices to look like you belong at Vogue.

Here are a few of their samplings by Kenneth Jay Lane (on SALE right now):

Happy Christmas shopping!

I made a list last January.

I checked it twice in February.

Added a few birthdays,

in good old March, and by the end of the week.

I was checking to see who has been naughty or nice.

Susy Clause is coming to town.

(Actually she’s been in town and is now dilly dallying by the pool.)

I am done with my Christmas shopping. Well I have one gift to pick up and that is my Secret Santa’s gift, but I will go into that a little later… 

Some of you may find that tidbit disgusting, amazing or just plain weird. But hear me out. I am relieved, that I am done with my shopping. The holiday season is hectic enough for me. Being done early with my Christmas shopping, gives me adequate time to plan Thanksgiving dinner.

How do I finish my shopping so fast?

I keep a Christmas list in my wallet and keep an eye out for great gifts, all year round. And I usually find great gifts at sassy prices. Ever go shopping with a friend for the sake of doing something after brunch? Instead of shopping aimlessly; jot a quick Christmas or even a birthday list and see if you can buy gifts for others. Slowly but surely you too can knock out your Christmas shopping list earlier and earlier every year. 

Taking a peep at my Christmas/ Birthday list also helps me spread my gift budget over the span of the year. And I can savor the start of the holidays by: relaxing, wrapping gifts, and writing cards. I loves it!

The holidays are meant to be spent with people you love. Ever set up Christmas dinner with a certain group of super busy friends? I always need a fingertip solution to finding the best date for everyone and their partners. This is where Evite.com comes in handy. Evite.com even has a function for a potluck list. How awesome is that?

Elfster.com is also a lifesaver! Elfster.com does the dirty work of sending out a random draw of names, so everyone at your Christmas dinner gets a Secret Santa. It’s a lot better than having your mom draw names from a hat and emailing your friends individually. Elfster.com even manages multiple wish lists for multiple functions. Weee! I have one gift left to buy and I am waiting on my Secret Santa to post up her wish list on Elfster.com.
