Mapel Just Got Worse…
Posted on 06.06.09 to $100 and under by Lindsay… for our bank accounts, that is.
Not only were they basically giving away handbags all last week, as a part of their killer “Happy Hour” program, but they’ve picked up some awesome, affordable new brands, too. If you’re unfamiliar, Mapel‘s Happy Hour is every day from 2pm – 6pm PST. Each day they have a new, awesome product from their inventory marked way, way down – but only for 4 hours!
Recently, I was notified by the Miss Staci Stevens that Mapel has picked up Tulle, Miss Me, Alternative (!!!), and Kersch – a brand I haven’t heard of but Staci praises their good garment construction, and if there’s an outside opinion I trust, it’s hers!
Tulle
I’ve been coveting products from Tulle for months. The fact that Mapel stocks them now is just a gigantic bonus (especially because of the 20% off discount code).
Tulle’s garments are study, beautiful, and classic. I’m dying over those shorts! (Also, if you’re wondering, those adorable shoes are made by Frye from a couple years ago! I’m obsessed with them!)
Alternative
I love Alternative Apparel. I hate American Apparel, and feel comfortable doing so because of great companies like Alternative. They started in 1995 after the founder set out to create “the perfect t-shirt”, and I’m pretty sure that goal was accomplished. It also doesn’t hurt that their tees only cost about $10.
I think I’ll likely need one in every color. That is, one of everything in every color.
Miss Me
I’ve been familiar with Miss Me as long as I’ve been addicted to budget fashion. Take that addiction and combine it with a passion for shoes, and you have Miss Me. They also have a clothing line, but Mapel has picked up some of their most adorable footwear for the summer season.
Definitely check out the sandal selection on Mapel’s website! (The shoes pictured are only $32!)
Kersh
As I mentioned previously, I’m not familiar with this brand, but after poking around Mapel’s selection of Kersh products… I think I’m in love. Very bohemian, very girly… Perfect attire for summer, anywhere.
Their prices are ACE! The tops go from $24-$40, and the stunning little dress is $84!
What is your favorite new brand of the 4? I think mine would have to be Alternative. I can never find basics that are well-constructed and totally affordable… That search stops at Mapel!
(Don’t forget about the 20% off coupon code, exclusive to Broke & Beautiful!)
xoxo.
