Frugal Family: Trendy Clothes and Bathing Suits

Much obliged to you for stopping by the latest Frugal Family column, where we at Santa Monica Patch scour the earth (but less dramatically, our lovely city and the Internet) to bring you the top offers, discounts and sales.

From swimsuits at a steal to chic children’s clothing at a major bargain, we bring it all to you this week!

Did you hear of a great sale in the pipeline? An even better one going on right now? Pretty please, let us in on all the details in the comment box below! Oh, the humiliation—did we omit the most unbelievable two-for-one offer ever known to man (or to shoppers in this city)? Well, let us know that information too. We at Patch always want to hear from you!

1. VICTORIA’S SECRET

Deal: Is last year’s swimsuit out of style? Is it a maternity suit (and you are no longer pregnant)? Is it a suit you bought in college? Is it just a bit faded? Or do you just want a new suit that will give you a bit of confidence when you finally have to drop the cover-up? Check out Victoria’s Secret vast swimsuit store, with mix-and-match tops and bottoms, full coverage (but still sexy) one pieces, all 25 to 40 percent off! Plus, use the code SHIPVS11 online and get free shipping with your purchase of $100!

Good Through: June 21

2. SPLENDID/ ELLA MOSS WAREHOUSE SALE

Deal: Super-soft, super-chic and a bit pricey—but oh so lovely. Stock up on these stylish wardrobe basics at the Bi-Annual Sale, where you can score Splendid, Splendid Girl, Splendid Littles, Ella Moss, Ella Girl and Little Ella at an incredible discount!

Good Through: Saturday

3. SHE’S THE ONE ONCE-A-YEAR SALE

Deal: You’ve passed by its window, filled with cute and funky kids clothing (the U2 onesie—who doesn’t crave that?), and now the manufacturer is having its eagerly anticipated wholesale sale! Instead of going to Kitson, head to this store and score some trendy duds at major discounts!

Good Through: Saturday

4. AMERICAN GIRL

Deal: Has your daughter been nipped by the American Girl bug? Then check out the sale section at their online store, where you can pick up accessories, clothes, books and everything your American Girl or Bitty Baby (probably both) might need.
