A recent addition to the Upromise Online Shopping Community, Martin & Osa is similar in style to Boden USA and J. Crew.  Simple in it's styling, their pieces are classic and won't go out of style. You can fully stock your wardrobe with staple items and be prepared for any season.

Right now, they're having a great sale with prices slashed up to 70% off.

Check out this Starry-Stick U-Neck Sweater for less than $20. A blend that includes cashmere, angora, and lambswool, this lightweight sweater is a perfect transition piece for the change of seasons that will soon be upon us. Layer it up for cooler days, wear it alone when the weather gets a bit warmer.  Most basic, solid colors are still in stock in all sizes; be sure to check out the close-up pictures to see the detailing - it's really a gorgeous piece.

Spice up your wardrobe with this lucious, multi-hued, blue Linen Ombre Scarf. Rich in color, you can wear this to the office with a suit, or out shopping with a denim jacket and a pair of khakis.  The long length gives it an extra bit of elegance simply due to the way it drapes. And don't be afraid of the blue - due to its multi-hued color scheme, it's a great fit for any complexion whether you're blond, brunette, or a red head.  Grab it for under $30.

Another great transition piece, this Essential Fleece Hoodie is a more grown-up version of your favorite bum-around-the-house sweatshirt. Long ribbed cuffs and an inset ribbed collar give this sweatshirt a unique look. Perfect with jeans, it's a great grab-and-go item when you're headed to the store.

For the man in your life, give his wardrobe a little extra oomph with a Storm-Placket Henley Sweater. A little bit rugby, a little bit boyish, you'll see him in a whole new light when he slips this on. Whether he's out playing hockey with the kids or you're grabbing a quick lunch together, you can be sure he'll get a lot of use out of this.

Or what about this Rugby -Stripe Crewneck Sweater? I am particularly drawn to this for my hubs because he doesn't like sweaters that have tight cuffs; the straight cut of this is perfect for him.

Overall, Martin and Osa gets a huge thumbs-up from me! Most likely, just because I am a self-proclaimed clearance shopper, I will wait to shop there when things are on sale - like right now. Now, that being said, I'm no fool either. If I find a great piece that I know I will use over and over, I won't wait - and you should either.

Check out Martin and Osa today and see what kind of great deals you can scrounge up.

Saving with Style has been around for a while now - in fact, before I know it, it's going to be a year old! Ok, ok, it's still a few months away, but like any good mom, I'm starting my planning early!!

At any rate, we're going to have to do something really special for the big event, for sure.  Any ideas?

When I started thinking about a birthday bash for SWS (as we fondly refer to it 'round these parts), I started to comb through past entries and looking at the most popular according to you fabulous readers.  My question is, have you read the Top 5?

Back in June, shortly after we went live, I talked about Men's Fashion.  If you know a man that should be reading that particular post, feel free to forward it to him. I, personally, have sent it to several people, and have printed it out and posted it to the door of my hubs closet. Someday, he might actually get it.

Then a little later that month we discussed Women and Their Shoes. I gave you direct access to the three best places through Upromise Online Shopping to score fabulous women's shoes at fabulous prices - all while gaining fabulous college savings, of course. But before you do, make sure you know How to Find Your Sole Mate - very punny, I know. 

Our look at FitFlops has been popular as well. One of those "miracle products," I was pretty darn skeptical. But the reverse heel seems to do a lot for you. Maybe not make you all fit and stuff, but they do help improve your posture and alleviate lower back pain.

September found us Cleaning Out the Closet and discussing how to prepare for selling your clothes via consignment. Not a tricky process and definitely a way to score a little extra cash - I use mine to support my shoe habit and my Starbucks obsession.

Michelle Obama's Style is a big hit - go figure!! Women love her style, and it turns out, so do men - who would've thunk? But if you think about it, it toally makes sense. The overwhelming majority of guys prefer a woman that presents herself as real, confident, and above all, natural. No face lifts, no implants, no baring it all. She fits the bill perfectly.
