Lots of retailers have started the discounting early- so enjoy! This is just the start of it, and I'll (try to) update it again for Saturday's sales. It just depends on how many of my mom's caramel rolls I shove into my mouth and how much champagne I drink before I pass out after opening presents, you know- such is the enormous and heavy burden that always comes along with this happy holiday season. ;)
A
Adam (Shop Adam)
The deal: Take 40% off the pre-fall collection (discounts already reflected with prices) plus use code "IDEELI2009" to take an additional 20% off those prices (and your entire order of all merchandise). All orders $150+ receive free shipping through midnight tonight, too!
The pick? I love the Deep Vee Rosette Dress (check out the back!), the Ponte Double Breasted Blazer, and this one-shoulder Rosette top. Beautiful!
ALDO
Deal: Take an extra 30% off all sale shoes and accessories, plus get free shipping on all orders $100+.
My pick: The Quinones pumps still. Now they're only $20.99. Holy moly.
Anthropologie
Deal: Not a "deal" per se, but I've noticed that the "free shipping on orders over $150" thing is still working- and it was supposed to expire 12/23. Hm- good if you want to have one last fling with the offer if you're like me and either live near a really sucky Anthropologie, or don't live near one at all (gasssp).
My pick: I know the free shipping deal is still working because I finally bought this for myself- I know, finally. I tried it on months ago in the store, fell in love, and the fact that it's -12 degrees out (not joking) makes me realize hey. I like sweaters. A lot. They really come in handy sometimes. Yay for me. The Bow-bound romper is my other choice, but I think I'll have to wait until the temps warm up a bit for it to officially pique my interest.

But- did I really just pull the trigger on the Dior black patent serpent booties I was yammering about above for Neiman's? I did, readers, I did. For that price I couldn't say no, and they're going to (hopefully) look awesome with a pair of tights & the Nanette Lepore Cafe Sheath dress I recently snagged (for an exciting steal) of Ebay. But things are going fast- so run!

My picks: Athena Dress and the Sheila top- both are perfect for spring.
PS- And don't forget to use your favorite cashback program while shopping- I prefer Ebates (have used it for years and have received hundreds back, actually- it's nothing short of FANFREAKINGTASTIC, plus they've been offering double cash back all over the place!) but I know several here also like to use Bing. It's definitely a lovely perk to the season- receiving a nice little check from cashback sites in the middle of the cold month of January, mmhm.
PPS- And in case you want some festive music to shop to, being that it is Christmas and all- AHEM:
