New and Improved ShopStyle Sale Alerts (Yay)

In a fashion recession, shopping smart is the way to survive. I normally try to shop smart, but with the holidays around the corner and money top of mind, it's great to have some survival tools.

I told you about SaleHabit.com, a site that allows you to only search the best of the best sales right now. But here's another savvy tool. The ShopStyle we all know and love has kicked sale alerts into high gear allowing you to choose your favorites brands and items and be emailed when they go on sale. You receive easy emails when the chosen items are reduced and you can happily shop from there. I am currently monitoring a few of my favorite brands — Alexander Wang, J.Crew and Marc by Marc Jacobs — and can't wait to see what turns up on sale tomorrow, and the day after that! Happy sale shopping.
