With the influx of "secret" sample sale sites, like Gilt Groupe and ideeli, we're finding it hard to keep track. Eye 4 Style, thankfully, is doing the grunt work for us. On her radar? A new site called SecretStyle. 

The Shoe Goddess has a good feeling about Roger Vivier's Haute Couture collection--which may or may not pivot on Carine's stamp of approval.

Don't. tempt. us. The Black Friday Minkoff sale has been extended and Stained Couture posted the flyers to prove it--beware temptation!

Today as been a bit of an up and down ride for as as we got bad news from our accoutant, great news from some publicists, and then more bad news about the economy in general but we are able to keep a brave face thanks to our amazing community.

The Coveted writes about Junko Shimada's not quite ballet flats that are a new spin on a classic point shoe. We aren't quite sure we would be able to wear them but they sure are fascinating!

Trust Your Style gives an interesting spin on the basics with a post she titles "Love+Price+Longevitiy= Dress of Trends" That is the sort of equation we are interesting in solving!

While absorbing Paris Fashion Week from a computer screen comes at little cost, wearing the clothing is another story. Given the state of our economy, our wise bloggers are either covering straight runway or finding opportunities to talk about "look for less" options. That said, we picked three to note.

Kingdom of Style is possibly the biggest penny saver of all having made her own organza skirt for a night out on the town. The results are pretty fantastic, but we're also putting a few bucks on her styling abilities.

And here we go around the blogosphere again for another look at what products, designers, and pressing questions are captivating the hearts and minds of our beloved community.

Wardrobe Oxygen made us giggle, cheer, and even tear up a little as she turned one of fashion's favorite catch phrases "make it work" on its head. You see sometimes you just should't make a garment work. And in the immortal words of a certain lawyer named Elle Woods, if the fabric won't work with you don't work with it!

Spork Fashion has a really cute butt! No really, she is testing out Levi's Totally Sliming Jeans which are amazingly only $20 at Wal-Mart. We think this might be an example of the fabric working for you!

Platinum Blonde Life is in love with Lim's Louboutins (rolling those "L"s off the tongue was fun!) showing off a beautiful collage of look at me goodness.

Fasshonaburu has discovered Japanese designer Tsumori Chisato and is loving that its manga print cuteness translates to regular women.

15 Minute Beauty has let it be known that the YSL Black Lipgloss is here. OMG! We are obviously fans here at Coutorture as we have lost track of the amount of times we have referenced this collection.
