Mad deals of the day: October 7

Mixer

You know it's a good day when KitchenAid mixers are on sale. This one is the mini version (holds 3.31L) but still gets all of your baking projects done with ease. Available in seven other colours. $350 (from $550), Hudson's Bay.

Dress

This beauty is made from velvet and lined with pure silk. It's loose fitting, meaning it's super comfortable, and it has pockets! A win for the holiday season (can't you picture it with some gold heels?) $60 (from $195), Aritzia.

Purse

Anything in olive green around fall is a must, like this crossbody with a soft, pebbled grain exterior. It has an inside zipped pocket and two slip pockets. Plus, who can say no to swoon-worthy tassel detailing? $36 (from $60), Sears.

Jacket

A great denim jacket will come in handy all autumn. Throw it over just about anything casual or fancy. This one is made from a cotton blend and is slightly fitted through the body. $25 (from $40), Old Navy.

Shoes

If you're not quite ready for boots, these ones have an open heel and toe and a block heel to dress them up. Also available in brown and black. $24 (from $60), Call it Spring.
