50% Off Everything at Couture Allure!

SALE IS NOW OVER.  THANKS FOR SHOPPING WITH COUTURE ALLURE!

My post yesterday about transformation and the new and exciting things coming into my life also made me realize that it is time to reward you.  Why?  Because during all the many moves and changes over the last few months, I have not been as active here or on my website as I (and I'm sure you) would like.  The fact of the matter is, Couture Allure is loaded with hundreds of gorgeous vintage garments and accessories that need to find new homes before I can begin to list the hundreds more that are waiting in the wings.

For the first time ever, and for 4 days only, I am offering 50% off everything on the website.  Yes, 50% off every vintage dress, evening gown, and fur.  50% off every vintage scarf, purse and belt.  50% off dresses from the 1920s, 50% off vintage designer garments, 50% off vintage jewelry.  Everything!  Simply enter coupon code "50off" at checkout and the discount will automatically be applied.  Sale starts now and ends at midnight Eastern time on Sunday, November 10.  I am unlikely to ever do this again, so don't miss your opportunity!  Shop now!  Note: Discount does not apply to shipping costs or previous purchases.  Sorry, there will be no layaways or holds allowed during this sale.  All items will be considered a final sale and no returns will be accepted.

Thanks for sticking with me this year.  Now, go get your reward!

Where I Have Been....Where I Am Going and a Sale!

Over the past few months, you may have noticed that the pace of new vintage dresses coming to Couture Allure has slowed down considerably and that my posts on this blog have become erratic.  There's a reason for that.

Winter.  I can't do winter any more.  You'll recall my road trips down south in January 2012 and 2013.  In addition to shopping for vintage all along the way, my husband and I were also scouting for a new place to live during the winter months.  And we've found it in delightful Dunedin, FL.  We've both worked for years and years to get to this point and our dream is finally coming true.

In 2012, we made the decision to start working toward selling our home here in Massachusetts.  It took us a year of hard labor making repairs and improvements, decluttering and staging the house to put it on the market.  All that work at home has pulled me away from the business at times.  We had a goal of getting the house on the market by April 1, 2013.  We missed that goal by 9 days. 

But we were very, very lucky as all our hard work paid off.  The house sold in 5 days to a lovely family that is the perfect fit for it.  In the past month, we've found a temporary home here in MA for the summer, we've been packing up and getting rid of things we no longer need.  We're having a big estate sale this weekend to sell off most of our furniture and we're moving out of our house next week.

Does that stop me from finding fabulous new vintage for you?  NO!  But in the past month, all that new vintage has been piling up as I have no time to go to the office.  There's too much to do at home! 

This coming week, not only do we have to move out of our house, I also have to move my business closer to our new home.  What that means for you is there will be no new vintage hitting the site for the next week or two, but starting June 1st I should be back up and running with loads of new beauties for you.  It also means a SALE!  The less I have to move, the easier that move will be.  Starting right now through Saturday May 18, take 20% off your entire order at Couture Allure.  Simply enter coupon code "move" at checkout and the discount will automatically be applied.  The discount does not apply to previous orders or shipping costs.  All orders will ship on Monday, May 20.

Holiday Sale at Couture Allure!

As our holiday gift to you, take 20% off your entire purchase at Couture Allure.  Simply enter coupon code "holiday" at checkout and the discount will automatically be deducted.  Ends Friday, December 14!  Discount not valid on prior purchases, gift certificates or shipping costs.  Happy Holidays!

3 Ways to Save at Couture Allure

If you get the Couture Allure newsletter or are a fan on Facebook or Twitter, then you already know about these special deals. But there are still a few hours to grab a bargain! We need to make room for new spring merchandise!

There are still a few items left in our Last Chance Sale. Priced at $50.00 each, these items will be permanently removed from the site tomorrow. Don't miss your chance to grab a fabulous deal!

I have also added lots of markdowns to the Sale Room and taken further markdowns on items already on Sale.

Your 3rd way to save today is with our Evening Gown Extravaganza. Here in our offices, we have one small closet where we store all of the vintage evening gowns that are listed on the site. We need to make room in that closet for new evening and wedding gowns coming soon. In an unprecedented opportunity, we are offering you a $50.00 savings off the price of any full length evening gown currently priced over $150.00. The $50.00 savings is good through today, Sunday, February 13 and is not valid on prior sales. Email me with your choice so I can adjust the price before you go through checkout on the site.
