Our Sunday WISHLIST Closet!

With less than 2 weeks until Christmas, it’s time to start dropping major hints about what’s on your list this year. Let BattleShop help! Build a Holiday WishList closet this week and share your closet with your friends and family to let them know what you really want WHILE you compete for a great prize. Your loved ones can click through to buy any of the items in your closet. SCORE!

What’s even better than a loved one granting one of your holiday wishes? Winning one! If you have one of the TOP 3 BattleShop closets this week, we’ll buy you ONE item (under $100) from your closet! You read that right. Make sure at least one item is less than $100 and if you FINISH in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in the FINALS, we’ll buy you that item.

New to BattleShop? Here’s how it works:

– Head to www.BattleShop.co and click the orange START A NEW BATTLE button once you’ve signed in.

– Use our search bar to find 8 items OF YOUR CHOICE that you’ve been coveting for this week’s HOLIDAY WISHLIST challenge. Add all of the things you love to your Fitting Room as you shop, like you would in a real fitting room.

– Once you’ve found the pieces you want to compete with, move the required items to your Closet. Your $3,000 battlebudget will decrease as you move items to the Closet. Be sure to stay within your budget!

– When all of the categories in the Closet are full, click the LOCK button at the bottom of the roster and your Closet will be submitted to a voting league.

– First you’ll vote within your league and if you WIN, you’ll move on to the FINALS where you’ll compete to win an item from your closet under $100! Not bad for shopping online, are we right?

Hard to believe that one trend making a comeback in the cooler months ahead will be bringing us back to our 7th grade pictures. Enter the statement knit – once made famous by Heathcliff Huxtable and all our junior high boyfriends.

And Saks will be your statement knit headquarters, starting now! Check out these sweet picks.

So on this throwback Thursday, we introduce Best Trends Forever.  BTF posts are for paying homage to tried and truly immortal fashion trends that don’t just repeat themselves, but never go away in the first place. Today our BTF nod goes to the dress that defined the 20’s. The drop waist. Almost 100 years old and showing no signs of quitting. Enjoy some of our favorite updates on the classic art-deco design!
