Bella Bag: The Atlanta store is my secret to carrying high-fashion designer bags without a high price tag. On a recent visit to the new store in Miami Circle, I spotted a Louis Vuitton bag for $1,599 (regularly $1,820) a Chanel bag for $1,950 (regularly $2,900) along with Prada, Fendi, Chloe and many more. You can buy, sell and trade online or in store. Through February, use code Jessicashops and save 13 percent off when you shop Bella Bag online — in celebration of the New Year, of course. Shop shopbellabag.com or see the selection in person in Buckhead at 650 Miami Circle, Atlanta.

Century 21: The chain of department stores can mainly be found in the Northeast. It’s a must-stop every time I visit New York City.

Discounts are marked up to 75 percent off the hottest styles for women, men and kids, …

Clipix: I spend a lot of time online, shopping and reviewing information for future use. I recently discovered a free Web tool and mobile app called Clipix that’s a place to organize and store the things I want to keep track of online — think wish lists, recipes, travel and more. It’s a great way to save and share links, documents, photos and video with one click. Unlike Pinterest, Clipix is not a social network; its goal is to help you organize your life online. And the best part of the website/app — and by far my favorite feature — is the “price drop alert” option. For example, I found a pair of shoes for $200; Clipix allows me to “clip it,” name a price, and then it will alert me when the price drops.
