Back to School is right around the corner and with no tax-free holiday this year, finding deals is more important than ever.

Discover Mills is making it easy for shoppers with an entire weekend filled with family fun and a super sale on everything needed to start the school year off right.  This is a good place to stock up on fall fashions, accessories, supplies (and maybe even a fashionable, furry friend!)

The festivities start this Friday, July 30th with a Back to School fashion show featuring models wearing the latest trends from Saks 5th Avenue OFF 5th, Osh Kosh B’Gosh, Guess, Gymboree, Off Broadway shoes and more.  To top it off, models will be strutting the “catwalk” with four-legged friends from the Gwinnett Humane Society.  Anything benefiting animals in need is always fashionable, if you ask me!

Back to School Super Sale – 4 days of promotions and discounts on clothing, supplies & more.

Hot Tip: Get a head start on your list by visiting their website – they have a …

One of the many joys of shopping is finding the perfect pair…of jeans, earrings, or most importantly, SHOES.  If you’ve yet to discover Piperlime.com, get ready for a shoe-lover’s heaven.

This online shoes and accessories boutique has the best mix of products, brands and price points – and, they’ve just taken over the coveted “accessories wall” for Season 8 of Project Runway which starts this Thursday, 7/29 at 9pm on Lifetime.   Why not make a night of it?  Grab some girlfriends and a laptop for some reality TV and some REAL shopping!

If it’s trendy you want, check out celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe’s picks.  If it’s Chinese Laundry you crave, search by the brand name.  Or, if it’s a DEAL you’re looking for, hit the Sale page for some serious markdown action.

Check out this uniquely beautiful (and very discounted) sandal by Kelsi Dagger – goes with everything!

Or, this “perfect pair” of Betsey Johnson critter studs – such a cute gift:

And did I mention that they offer …

We’ve all been there.

You know, the times when you’ve got an extra-special event to attend and a less-than-special something to wear – not to mention a less-than-special budget and too little time to shop!

You have three choices: wear your go-to little black dress (boring!), scour sale racks on your lunch hour (stressful!) or fool your friends into thinking you’ve suddenly got a closet full of designer duds.  I opt for the latter and here’s how you can, too.

RentTheRunway.com is just as the name denotes – a way to rent the hottest designer runway looks for any occasion.

From day to evening events and in-between, check out just a few special occasion looks I found for under $100:

You shouldn’t settle for paying retail in store, so why would you do so online?  With so many amazing coupon and deal websites, there’s no reason to.  Ever.

Just a few of the most popular coupon and deal sites include:

- FatWallet.com

- CouponCabin.com

- RetailMeNot.com

…the list goes on and on!

These sites are the modern-day equivalent of clipping coupons, but so much more fun!

Another cool one that I just discovered is eDeals.com. They carry coupons and deals from more than 8,000 retailers – from fashion to shoes to electronics and more.  The cool thing about this site is that there are so many ways to save.  You can shop by keyword, retailer, category…even by “free shipping” to see what pops up.

They also offer exclusive deals not found on other sites and eliminate the need to “crack coupon codes” as required on many retailer websites.

If that’s not enough, eDeals.com also offers:

• Comparison shopping engine with PriceGrabber – this is so cool, …

I’ve done some research and I’ve determined that Back to School is “back to cool” this year at Macy’s.  Below are a few of the special deals, along with what’s new for 2010 Back to School fashions.

Kidz Bop: Kids will receive a free Kidz Bop 18 CD with every $35 purchase.  Select stores will also have sing-a-longs and meet and greet sessions with the Kidz Bop stars!

Reading is Fundamental: From June 30-July 31, customers can receive $10 off any purchase of $50 or more with a $3 donation to the Reading is Fundamental program.  What a way to give and save at the same time!

Lastly, I’ve checked out the official trend report and here’s what’s hot for fall that Macy’s is totally stocked on:

Girls: Embellished, distressed denim and jeggings.  Pair them with a tunic or plaid top.

Boys: Screen tees, hoodies, skinny jeans, layering and mixing and matching different prints.

Shop early for best dibs on the trends before the masses!!
