Exclusive Fashion Orbit Discount: $20 Off $100+ At Billion Dollar Babes
Until August 31, Fashion Orbit readers can save $20 on purchases of $100 or more at online sample saler Billion Dollar Babes using the discount code ORBIT20. My love for sample sales knows no bounds, and my first major sample sale experience when I lived in L.A. was actually at a BDB event. 
In my current advanced age I prefer the online sample sales for the relative stress relief; no dodging pointy elbows from shoppers who share your size, or watching, hawk-eyed, for someone to put down the last of a coveted piece. Billion Dollar Babes’ online shop features 3 weekly 48 hour events, with clothing, accessories, and home decor sometimes marked down as much as 80%.
I’m totally loving Archipelago’s Large Lattice Vase shown above (currently available at $49.50, marked down from $99) - the wonderfully insane ornateness is balanced by the all-white setting. Some of BDB’s upcoming events:



Today: Jardins en fleur and Archipelago


Monday, August 10: Degaine and MRE Jewelry


Wednesday, August 12: Iro and Maj


Friday, August 14: Ksubi and Tat2 Designs


The fine print: Take $20 off purchases of $100 or more at Billion Dollar Babes using discount code ORBIT20. Offer expires August 31, 2009 and cannot be combined with any other promotions/discounts.
