Musings on Serendipity and Shopping December 10th, 2009 By

Sunny's Moccasins on the Beach

Sunny's Moccasins on the Beach

Hi!  Greetings from Sunny, the very lucky gypsy-trotting girl who won the Fan It to Bag It Sweepstakes!  This very minute, my amazing Frye tote occupies the seat across from me here at the coffee shop in Myrtle Beach.  And my laptop (which my roomy Frye now totes from place to place for me) is my quill and ink as I do a little Christmas shopping online.  And this year, I’m shopping with beso… and I’ll tell you why.

While on my road trips, I recently traveled to New York City and stopped by Serendipity’s 3 for a frozen hot chocolate and discovered my new favorite word… serendipity.  “The art of making happy discoveries, or finding the unexpectedly pleasant by chance or sagacity.”

Let me just tell you, my friends, chancing upon the beso Fan It to Bag It Sweepstakes was quite indeed serendipity for me.  I entered the sweepstakes, got a call somewhere between Virginia and New England from beso saying that I had won a gorgeous-bag-which-I-love… and, in the process, I discovered some of the warmest people I could meet and a jewel of a site for shopping!  I found philosophy, Target, Sephora, Old Navy, Victoria’s Secret, Levi’s and a bajillion others all on one site (with frequent online sales to boot!).

Here’s a little of my beso-style serendipity.  Moccasins for Thanksgiving on the beach.  I know, they are sort of relegated to fall wear and most of us are over that.  But nothing spells free spirit like fringe and natural comfort.  I did the whole Last of the Mohicans thing and wore them while hiking trails in Virginia.  But I rethought the flip-flops for long walks on the beach and that was a happy discovery…

Monthly Inspiration: November 2009 November 2nd, 2009 By

I received word this morning that Loveland, Colorado, had its first snow last night.  The depth measured 14″, and there were talks of cancelling school if it didn’t stop soon.  Looking out my own window, it was a cool but sunny 64° in Los Angeles — and it was only 7:30 a.m.  Work was definitely not getting cancelled.  I slid on my flip flops (against my East Cost upbringing) and hurried out the door.

Remember when you were a kid and your mom took you shopping and told you that you could buy whatever you wanted?  What you wanted was a hypercolor t-shirt, but none of the stores had any because it was November on the East Coast.  I wish I could transport back in time to when I was 7 and tell my mom that it didn’t matter if the store didn’t have any hypercolor t-shirts.  What she needed to do was go on beso.com to order one online.

Now, beso doesn’t have any hypercolor t-shirts because the original manufacturer has long since filed for bankruptcy.  But what we do have is a goldmine of the best  prices for brands and stores, in order to prevent you from going bankrupt, too.  This month, our experts will be sharing with you all of the greatest deals on clothing, shoes, accessories, bags, and more.  New to the blog is our Nesting Spot section, where we will be commenting on home-related furniture and decor.  We will also be debuting our much-awaited Get Cooking feature, where everything kitchen-related will be tried, tested, and reviewed to the core.  This November you can expect tips for the perfect Harvest Table and other Thanksgiving-themed posts.

Be sure to check back daily for our other regular features.  Every Monday, we will be deconstructing some of the hottest outfits in Get This Look, and our editors will have scoured the web for their Editor’s Picks.  Finally, in the next few days, we will be announcing the winner of our beso Lucky Sweepstakes, where one lucky facebook fan will win a fabulous designer bag!

How do you beso lucky?  With beso.com!

Happy shopping,

beso Inspired: October 2009 October 1st, 2009 By

Mara in BurberryWelcome to fall!  In order to get ready for the colder months, I spent all last week putting up my summer whites — shoes, handbags, linen, and even my beloved white jeans.  Though I was sad to see these go to the back of my closet, I immediately started to get excited for the season the very moment I came across my favorite chunky cable-knit cardigan.  And the boots!  Hello, black suede over the knee boots!  Oh, how I’ve missed you my dear, leather riding boots.  While most of my friends call me old-fashioned for allowing the seasons to dictate my wardrobe, there is something about this tradition I find personally satisfying.  It also got me thinking about today’s woman — is it really an anything-goes kind of world, or still should there be some sort of rule set that governs our shopping habits throughout the year?

This October, you can expect to see features on How To Wear, a step-by-step tutorial on how to wear the latest (and seasonally appropriate!) trends.  Look out for our Store Discovery posts, in which our top investigators will bring you into the delightful world of new retail.  Each Friday, be sure to look for our beso Deals for the latest coupons and discounts online!

Perhaps the thing I’m most excited for this month is our beso Lucky Sweepstakes.  One lucky winner will go home with one of our favorite designer handbags this fall.  Will it be the Tory Burch hobo or the Kooba tote?  Or, it just might be the slate grey leather bag from Frye.  Become a beso fan on Facebook and enter the sweepstakes to find out for yourself.

How do you beso lucky?  With beso.com!

Happy shopping,

Mara
