Our friends at GOLDYN recently gave us an exclusive coupon code just for you, dear readers! Use code “THESALERACK20″ for 20% off all designers, including items already on Sale! We thought we’d poke around GOLDYN a bit and pretend that we were buying Valentine’s Day gifts for ourselves (so fun!) – if we could (and we still might), this is what we’d pick:

The Rebecca Minkoff Zip Around Wallet in Persimmon Ostrich – $125, after TSR discount – $100.  Glamorous Moms recently did a great piece on tangerine being the color of 2012 so when we saw this little pop of color we couldn’t pass it up.  And what could be more perfect than Rebecca Minkoff’s The Amour Clutch in Gold Lamé? $195, after coupon – $156.

GOLDYN has a really impressive selection of jewelry from the likes of Ariel Gordon, Cosmic Thread, Katrina LaPenne, Kir, Tina Tang and much more. With love in the air, we like the Cardissium Heart Necklace by Lauren Wolf for its different look…like two wings coming together or two shells laid one atop the other. However you see it, we think it’s a winner. $190, after 20% off  $152.  Nothing says love like a pearl necklace & this Vintage Pearl Necklace by Lori Leavitt is really cool with it’s contrasting woven brass chain and large vintage faux pearls. $132, with discount $106. We also find the simplicity of this Maya Brenner Garnet Disc & Diamond Necklace very sweet.  $250, after coupon code $200.

Get on the Rich Hippie Organic Eau de Parfum Love Train - $30, but  just $24 after exclusive discount. Lafayette Sunglasses by Elizabeth and James are the purr-fect gift for any fashion loving gal – $155, then $124. And while we’re thinking it’s pretty foolish to hope that our significant others would pick out a See by Chloe Leather Skirt with a scalloped waist in rust, we’re still going to list it as one of our picks…and hope that maybe, just maybe, they’ll read our post and get the hint. Originally $695, on sale for $278, with coupon code, $222.

By the way, this exclusive coupon code is good through the end of February…just in case you want to show yourself some love.

Winter Jeans: Update Your Wardrobe For Winter On A Budget With Jeans

Every new season brings with it fresh and more fashionable demands upon your wardrobe, from jumpers to joggers, jewellery to jeans, but for January 2012 we’ve decided to shine the spotlight on denim wear. Your jeans form a key part of all manner of different ensembles, suitable for all manner of occasions, and once in a while it’s important to give your jeans look a bit of a makeover.

It really doesn’t matter whether you shop at Net-A-Porter or next.co.uk as jeans really aren’t about the amount of money you’re willing to spend. Instead, it’s more important to think about shape, colour and versatility and which styles will best prepare you for the long year ahead. To help you get your priorities in order, we’ve put together our top three:

1. Dark Denim Skinny Jeans - These can take you from office-wear to Friday night cocktails, weekend walks to Sunday brunches. A pair of skinny jeans can form the building blocks of any number of different outfits. Team with a silky blouse for evening wear or an oversized jumper for a more casual kind of look. Black is classic but if yking overly gothic or gaunt then go for midnight blue dark wash denim instead.

2. Colored Jeans - Brightly coloured denim wear came to the fore in Summer and Autumn and looks set to be a major look for 2012 as well. If you are yet to invest in the trend then take the January sales to be your perfect opportunity to do so. If you’re feeling brave a neon bright shade should help to brighten winter’s remaining darkened days or, if you’d rather play it safe, shades like port wine red and forest green are flattering and easy to style.

3. 7/8 Jeans - Longer than cut offs but a fraction more stylish than your average full length jean, this is another trend set to be big for Spring. We see this one sticking around for a while so if you like to get the most out of your on-trend buys then commit to purchase sooner rather than later. Wear with kitten heels for a 50s inspired style interpretation.
