BJ's on sale at Overstock!! (tee hee)

Welcome to BluePlateStyle.com!

This being my first posting I'm not sure who exactly I'm talking to but I imagine her being a lot like me.  She is passionate about fashion and while she loves to find a deal she's not one to compromise on quality or style.  Her idea of a perfect night at home involves a nice glass of wine (or 4) and a pile of the latest fashion magazines (okay maybe not perfect but close;)).  She fully appreciates the joy in coming home from a long day at work and discovering there's a box from one of her favorite online retailers waiting to be opened.  But let's face it, online shopping, especially for the bargain conscious, can be incredibly frustrating and tedious.  And with so many new sites popping up how do you possibly keep up with all the deals, steals and promotions?  

Well lucky for you, your trusty style scavenger happens to have plenty of idle time to spend scouring the web for what I absolutely love most.  And I just couldn't sleep at night knowing I was keeping these wonderful lil fashion nuggets all to myself!  

So with that all said, here goes!

My quest for the perfect fall shoe(s) led me to somewhat unfamiliar terrain.  I'd always thought of Betsey Johnson as a little too far left for me but this season she's got some stuff that's just too classically cool to ignore.  I found a couple of this season's highlights on one of my favorite sites, overstock.com.

The 'Tiana' Bootie

Timeless but trendy all at the same time, this sexy ankle boot just screams "Good girl, gone bad" - and who can't relate to that?? (cough, cough).  As versatile as they are sexy, wear them with just about anything from skinny jeans to full skirts.  I was amazed to find these for only $159.99 when most other sites had a SALE price listed around $285.  Ordering my pair as we speak!




Ricci

The 'Ricci' boot

These feel more Marc Jacobsy to me which might explain why I was instantly smitten.  Another versatile pair that you really can't go wrong with, especially when paired with this season's ruffled blouses and fitted blazers.  Once again, Overstock beat the lowest listed sale price  by nearly $100.  They also come in a patent leopard print but I prefer the more classic black.  Then again, for only $159.99 you might just want both!

The 'Tisha' Boot

And last but not least, I give you the 'Tisha' suede fringed boot, quite possibly one of my favorites of the season.  PLS BELIEVE that I have been hunting for these at a discounted price ever since they first appeared back in August.   Rachel Zoe is also apparently a fan but I won't hold it against them.  Picture these with a pair of distressed skinny jeans, a vintage style tee and faux fur jacket (Juicy's new one comes to mind).  But let me not get ahead of myself as these babies are still listed at their original price of 319.99 just about everywhere (and that defeats the purpose of this little blog, right?).  You ladies will be the first to know when somebody smartens up and puts 'em on sale.  I just had to post anyway - they're too cute to be ignored!

Well that concludes my first post. Hope it wasn't too painful! I'll be blogging as as often as I find deals worth mentioning so pls check back or even better, subscribe!

Have a wonderful weekend!
