With the holidays approaching, we're trying to refrain from spending much money on ourselves. Lucky for us, Intermix, Cusp, Chick Downtown, Shopbop and Active Endeavors are all having excellent sales online this week. Of course, we just had to share the news with Stylelist readers.

There's something appealing about tactile, bulky jewelry. And this necklace by Lee Angel definitely makes us want to touch.

Black denim, thrashed within an inch of its life, is hot for fall. And, judging by Martin Margiela's Spring 2009 collection, will continue to be hot through that season, too. So what's a girl on a budget to do?

Check out favorite celebrity store, INTERMIX's, Bi-Annual Warehouse Sale from August 26 – 28. The Metropolitan Pavilion (at 110 West 19th Street) will be hosting the event which offers discounts up to 70% off on names like Jay Godfrey, Stella McCartney, Theory, Matthew Williamson, Elizabeth and James, Diane von Furstenberg, Mint and more!

We mean, jeez, just look how excited Kayne got when he heard about the sale while shopping at the INTERMIX opening in LA. "INTERMIX sale? Say what?!"

Need more info? Feel free to contact Melissa Seidman at (212) 741-5075 x232 for details.

We'll see you there!

Miley Cyrus performed on the ABC's "Good Morning America" on July 18 in New York's Bryant Park. The pop princess' mini concert was cool but her kick ass combo of cutesy pleated shorts paired with a ruffled button up was even cooler. We here at StyleDash are fans of the contrast between something masculine like plaid which is turned completely fem with the addition of ruffles and soft colors. And the addition of a few bracelets is an excellent option for day.

Kudos to the near perfect ensemble Cyrus. Now just try to keep those clothes on and dry... at least in front of cameras anyway.

• IVY ruffle front shirt, Intermix, Sold out (for now)

Being fabulous and fashionable isn't an easy job, I mean you can't call yourself a fashionista and wear shabby gear right? Problem is, the best stuff tends to have the highest price tag (ouch). We real women know we can't live the Sex and the City life of sipping cocktails and drowning in designer shoes without consequences. It's called debt, sister friend and it ain't pretty.

So I have hunted and gathered some of the best deals on the on the web from Intermix, Active Endeavors, Saks, Ron Herman, Shop Intuition, and more -- so enjoy. Best part about shopping the sales online, is that you can avoid the shame of looking like a 'sale rat' at the boutiques, after all fashionistas are poised and would never dig for clothes.... Yeah right!

Intermix online is currently blowing out all sorts of expensive designer goods at pretty hefty discounts. Certain items like Yacht Club's slinky rayon sweater seem like a good deal while others seem like a last ditch attempt to pawn off some over-priced monstrosity whose high-volume purchase probably cost an Intermix buyer his or her job.

Of the latter, I would like to point out Stella McCartney's sweater knit jumpsuit. Originally priced at $1,165, the sweater jumpsuit has been reduced to $399. (If my math is correct, that's 65% off). Even at $399, you'd have to be fool to pay that much money for a garment that is not only impractical (how do you go to the bathroom in a jumpsuit?) but also truly unflattering!

Even the sales copy seems to know that this jumpsuit is a piece of crap:

"As comfortable as PJs, but much, much more sophisticated...cardigan-style front with five buttons and long, long legs (37" inseam) with 3 1/2" ribbed cuffs so that you can scrunch up the jumpsuit to wear to the length desired...The size 40 is equivalent to a US size 4-6-8ish."

Ah, scrunchable legs and 4-6-8-ish sizing, eh? And how exactly do you make something that fits a size 4 also fit a size 8? Oh wait, now I see:

"All sale purchases are final sale. No exchanges, no returns."

Thanksgiving is only four days away, and whether you're hosting or guest-ing, you've got to think about what to wear. Even if it's a family gathering, forget about going in that foda-coma-comfortable tracksuit -- there's bound to be pictures taken, and you 've got to look great. This week. we'll pick a few dresses that will do just that -- make you look great -- and give you room for second helpings. Maybe even thirds.

A jumper, while not my personal choice for dresses, is a good idea because there is absolutely no waistline to butt up against (pardon the pun). You don't have to look like you just stepped out of the BabyGap catalog with the Ivy Babydoll Jumper. It comes in four colors, the best of which is the shiny black satin, perfect for a Holiday spirit. Pair it with a lightweight long sleeve t-shirt, or a tanktop if it gets as warm in your house with all those people, like it does at mine.

The Ivy Babydoll Jumper is $285 at Intermix.
