Quick Picks: The $25 for $50 Bluefly Deal

Google Offers:  Spend $25 to get $50 at Bluefly

Hat tip to Chris for sending in the Style Tip

UPDATE:  Looks like Bluefly jacked some prices up on items overnight.  For example, the OP t-shirts are now $18 and a solid no thanks at that price.  Apologies for that one guys.  It happens…  $25 for $50 deal is still going on though.

Remember when Groupon refused to sell to Google?  Right.  So, Google went and did their own thing.  It’s called “Google Offers,” and they’re offering a $25 for $50 deal to the designer web outlet BlueFly.  Here’s the details:

• Must spend $50 to use the deal.
• Limit 1 per household
• They say it can’t be used in conjunction with other deals/codes/etc…

Prices in red show the total cost after the $25 gift certificate is applied, and before shipping kicks in.  There’s a lot of stuff on Bluefly’s site, so much so that it can get a little numbing just digging around.  Picks had a wide variety of sizes available at post time.

OP Heather Polo – $39.00 + Abboud Pocket Squares – $15.00 = $29

The Penguin polo (currently) has all sizes left and looks like it comes in their extra soft jersey cotton.  The Abboud pocket square trio has a blue and white gingham in there, which comes in extra handy at this time of year.  Orange and blue check would be a nice offset to a navy cotton blazer and dark wash jeans.

 

OP thermal – $22.79 + Calvin Klein Reversible Belt – $28.00 = $25.79

Lots of Original Penguin stuff here, but that’s what happens when you’re on the low end of the designer price spectrum.  Thermals are great for weekends at home when even a sweater seems like too much.  The belt should be pretty versatile, with a slim and subtle buckle.

 

Will Leather Goods Drawstring Tote – $58.00 = $33

Some guys will see a tote with less structure as a more manly bag.  Others will think it looks like a woman’s hobo purse (ladies?  That a hobo-like bag here?).  Whatever, you put stuff in it, you’ll get it from point A to B, and it’s made in Eugene, Oregon.  Was pushing $100.

 

Theory Tie – $32.99 + Purple and Grey Penguin T-shirts $10.79 per = $29.57

Hard to argue with the made in the USA tie (unless 2.5″ is too slim for you) and while the tees are in fact graphic tees, the penguin gets a pass.  Especially when it’s these colors, easy to layer, and the graphic shouldn’t show too much if you’ve got something on top.

Question:  When was the last time you purchased any type of deal?  Groupon, Living Social, etc…  Leave it all below.  Meanwhile, the Google $25 for $50 offer at BlueFly is on sale through Thursday and must be used by 9/12/12.
