Swirl: free $20 to use!

This is a post dedicated to another bestie, CS, as well as to ALL the lovely fashion-obsessed people out there:

Swirl is a new online sample sales site, sponsored by Daily Candy, where you can "buy clothes and accessories at up to 80% off from designers you love and buzz-worthy fashion-world newbies." You can get $20 OFF ANY PURCHASE by using code CANDY719 at checkout. But, hurry! THIS ENDS JULY 21, 2:51 AM!!

Some of my friends have reported that you can even take $20 off a $18/$19 purchase (so your cart may not even have to add up to $20 or more), leaving you with only shipping costs! ... Swirl is a members-only sample sales site, so here's my invitation for all you lovelies to join! If you join, and you in turn get your own friends to purchase something, you'll get $25 to use for free!

For example .... (CS, check out the stuff from Loomstate! Birds!) ...

(Left) Loomstate (all 100% organic cotton)- Stick Together Tee (reg $62, now $19)
(Right) Karen Zambos - Project Dress, 100% silk (reg $275, now $99)

Hurry! A LOT of items have already started to sell out, even as I wrote this post! :)

Whoah, check out this deal (or, as the Wall Street Journal article puts it, "an aggressive promotion")!

From July 21 to August 3, any customer who simply tries on a new pair of jeans will receive an instruction card telling him/her how to go about selecting a free smartphone (including the BlackBerry Bold, the Motorola Backflip and the HTC Aria), as long as they agree to a 2-yr contract with either AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, or Sprint-Nextel! After you order your free phone, AE will also send you a free $25 AE gift card!

This is a great promo, especially since you get to choose your service provider and you get to select what kind of (brandname!) smartphone you want!
