There are those moments for even the most seasoned shopper where fate or the proverbial shopping gods seem to step in and bring you deal that is nothing short of amazing. Two factors need to be present for this to happen: one is that a good sale needs to cross your path, and two is that you really, really need to covet something.

I have had my eye on this Rag & Bone Kato Jacket since I saw it on the runway (pictured left). Not only am I a huge fan of Rag & Bone (the quality is amazing, much of the line is made in the U.S.A and it is the epitome of classic meets edgy) but this jacket could literally be worn with everything and is reversible with one side navy and the other black! I was looking for a lot of bang for my buck in this seasons jacket purchase and this fit the bill. See it pictured in the runway slide layered over a floral dress and styled on the Saks Fifth Avenue website (pictured below) with denim.

When Saks announced their 25% off Friends and Family Sale (with code FRIENDS2), I new I had to bite the bullet. I saved over $100 with the friends and family discount and a free shipping code (OCTSHIP9) saved me an additional $22. Add on 2.5% Cash Back and  I will bring my savings well above the hundred dollar mark, transforming the rather pricey purchase into a manageable investment.
