Steal of the Week: 30% Off Everything at Levi's Store

I'm back from my blogging hiatus (and a little later than planned), so what better way to kick things off than with a store-wide sale? I received an e-mail today from Levi's with the following subject line: "Oops! We apologize for the technical difficulties. Now enjoy 30% off ALL merchandise." Thing is, I almost deleted it after scanning the first few words, but thankfully my eyes caught the % sign. This is the kind of sale I dream of: the discount applies to every single item in the online store, even sale merchandise. To get the discount, head over to LevisStore.com today through May 18th and enter the code "FLING" during checkout.

With things seriously heating up outside, you might not be in store for a new pair of jeans, but there are accessories, shorts, and dresses aplenty. Here are just a few:

Strappy V-Neck Dress
