They're everywhere, but some are better than others. From above, the rabidly-coveted and extremely expensive sold out leopard print cardigan from the Chloë Sevigny line for Opening Ceremony, currently on ebay at $150 with zero bids and nearly seven days left (and with a $350 buy it now, which people actually seem to pay!); a green skirt by Rika on sale at Otte for $57.90 (was $193); and a red dress on sale at the semi-annual A.P.C. sale for $97.50 (was $195).

Dresses on Ebay

So much ebay...so much time. I know it's not the time of year to buy for oneself, but I love these dresses. From above, navy and black Rag and Bone dress that retailed for $360 for $49.99 or $59.99 with buy it now (depending on the size, of which there are many), size 4 zebra dress by Sarah (I loved coming across the prints by this label in New York in years past, but sadly I believe it is now defunct) with a starting price of $20 and a buy it now of $75 -- so far with one bid and one day left -- and size small ACNE dark purple dress with no bids and a starting price of $59.99.

Cyber Monday Most Wanted

Deals are offered on just about every site through today. I'm considering this dress from Alexander Wang (was $145, now $87 plus shipping), John Patrick Organic muscle shirt from Beklina (was $115, now $43 with free shipping with code Sbite20), and Sophomore dress/shirt from La Rousse (Was $150, now $43 with free shipping with code Black30 still working as of today). For pictures of the Sophomore dress without a belt, which I think looks better (I already have one in light green and love it), see here and here. For a more comprehensive (but still curated) list of online sales than I could hope to provide, see salebite.

Bag

The online sample sale Swirl is having a major clearance sale on bags right now. Of course the one I had wanted from Swirl is not there, but this white, perforated leather biker tote from Romygold for $149 (down from $495) plus free shipping (Code CYBERMON) is pretty awesome.

Tank Top

I want want want this stud-patterned Alexander Wang silk tank currently $59.99 with 1 bid on ebay and 1 hour to go. Don't think I can have, though.

Black Friday

Post Thanksgiving binge, I don't necessarily feel like shopping for new clothes. But there are obviously a ton of sales today including discounts on many things I've recently posted. Mary Meyer is having a sale (40% off until Monday), as is Tobi (clearance sale, plus 30% off non-sale items with THANKS30), J. Crew (25% off $150 or more, code TURKEY) and the Outnet (free shipping). Happy leftover-eating/shopping.

Silver Bag

I'm not sure how I feel about mixing my metallics, but today this small silver leather Claire Vivier bag is half off through Lucky. $84.50 with code luckydaily2. Also comes in red, beige and black.

Cardigan Time

An extra 30% off all sale items at J. Crew means cardigan hunting. I like them long and lean. From top, "Merino de Longueur" cardigan for $42, "Infinity" cardigan for $28, and "Dream V-Neck" cardigan for $35 (after the extra 30 off but before shipping and tax). More colors too. Code is JCREW.

Special Request: Fitted Jackets

Cropped Kova & T black jacket on sale at Tobi for $148 (from $372) with free shipping, blue Marc by Marc Jacobs fitted jacket at Piperlime half-off for $148.99 (subscribe to their mailing list and get an extra 15% off, plus free shipping and returns), and Elizabeth and James black jacket on ebay for $93. I also like this MM6 patterned jacket on sale for $113 (from $565) and can't resist sharing this Doma electric blue leather jacket for $236 (from $592) from Tobi.

Mary Meyer

Mary Meyer pop up shop and sample sale at NYC store Court (178 Mulberry Street) from now until Sunday. Current stock, like this dress ($120), is 30% off and back stock starts at $20. For those of us on the other coast, these $30 totes from Mary Meyer online or cropped shirts on sale for $38 from La Rousse will have to do.

Steven Alan Sample Sale

Going on right now! A wide range of Steven Alan shirts and a few shirtdresses like this one are under $60. Nice coats and Rachel Comey shoes too.

Platform Boots

I would tower over people if I wore them, but I like the look of these $98 platform boots. Made by 6X6, a collaboration between cult clog and vintage store No. 6 and Urban Outfitters. Enter the code WALKTHISWAY on the Urban Outfitters site and get 20% off.

Melissa, Part I

Part I because there will surely be more Brazilian, plastic, comfortable Melissas to come. There's currently a pair of size 8 classic black campana flats on ebay with a starting price of $5.99, with 2 days 16 hours left and zero bids. Karmaloop has many pairs on sale, including these red heels for $29.95. For the bamboo and bronze campana models, at this point you'll have to try to convince the Melissa Phillippines online store to mail you a pair (I've tried). Or hope for the best at the next Melissa sample sale, at 520 W. 27th Street in New York starting Tuesday, November 16 (according to Racked NY).

Chambray

You have 1 day and 2 hours left to bid on this Built by Wendy shirt, currently $40 on ebay with zero bids. Also check out this Rogan blazer on sale for $72 (from $360) at Tobi, and this Rachel Comey shirt on sale for $91.20 (from $228) at Bloomingdales (it looks better buttoned; I've tried it on).

Creatures of Comfort on Sale

The new New York outpost of LA boutique Creatures of Comfort will join in on the Assembly sample sale from now until October 30. 174 Ludlow St. Sigh.

Check out the Mini Market/Mini for Many salmon separates on sale at theOutnet.com. Shirt $38.50 (was $110), dress $56 (was $160), adventurous jumpsuit $57 (was $190).
