My sister, Rebecca, and I have been trying to figure out what in the world to do for our annual day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas promotion this year. We were scratching our heads and trying to find something that made us end with a bang.

Well, I think we finally came up with it. We are starting our Winter Sale! That’s right, it’s only December 12 and we are already marking items down. We never offered a sale this early. It always terrified me in the middle of the holiday shopping season to do a sale. But, like the department stores, we decided to jump on the early-sale bandwagon. Here we are!

We also started with a bigger discount than ever before – 40 percent! We just realized we had so many styles that were down to the last few items, so we figured it was time.

Starting today, both online and in-store, select fall shoes and clothing will be marked down.

We are even still offering our Give-A-Gift-Get-A-Gift promotion, so you can shop the sale and still earn money to spend in January and February.

The sale items, however, will be final sale. So, if you want to give them as a gift, make sure they're the right size. There are also no price adjustments on earlier purchases.

We promise there are tons of great pieces to pick from. Booties from Sam Edelman, dresses from Ulla Johnson, sweaters from Ann Mashburn – the list goes on. Shop early for the best selection! If you can’t make it to the store, you can always shop online. Just consider this a little early Christmas present from us to you.
