Still looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day present? Whether you’re buying for a sweetheart or treating yourself, give a gift that not only gives back, but rewards you for your goodwill, too.

Radley London, the women’s accessory brand in the UK, is celebrating its US flagship store in the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, NY by teaming up with Goodwill Industries – and you, and your community, get to benefit from this Valentine’s Day coupling!

All during February, donate a handbag to Goodwill and Radley will reward you with $50 off a new handbag of their choice, valued at $250 or more. Then, as part of Goodwill Industries’ Give and be Given Campaign, Radley will collect all those unwanted handbags and give them back to the Goodwill’s many retail stores for sales that fund our wide array of community programs.

The popular Grosvenor Satchel is just one of the beautiful handbags available in the ‘Give and be Given’ campaign.

Now, for all you fashion fans not yet in the know about Radley London: the brand is a UK must-have for its color and sense of fun. Radley’s collections are crafted from beautiful leathers, with rich color schemes and unusual hand-crafted detail, and are inspired by lifestyles and influences from both around the world and London.

Happy Handbag Shopping! After all, what better way to celebrate the month of love than with a great looking gift that gives back?

The Super Bowl’s Sunday, but what to do Saturday? Shop, of course! Tackle a massive Store-Wide Sale* at the Goodwill Third Avenue Store (located at 2231 Third Avenue between East 122nd Street and East 123rd Street):

This Saturday only, everything in the Goodwill Third Avenue store will be 25% off – and, from 4pm to 8pm, all textiles are 50% off.*

Have a safe, happy, and stylish weekend!

*Previously discounted items are not included in the sale. All textiles are final sale.

We love our Goodwill shoppers – you guys have fantastic style and continually impress us with your finds. Last month, we shared Joey’s Oscar de la Renta tux jacket, and this month, we have another incredible Goodwill fan to show off – the style writer behind the fabulously fashionable (and impressively frugal) blog Living Fly on a Dime.

Living Fly on a Dime visited NYC’s Goodwill Outlet with mission in hand (find colorful, feminine pieces to revive a dull wardrobe without breaking the bank) and created this video documenting her Goodwill finds – sharing a few key tips every thrift shopper show know along the way:

On her last visit, Living Fly on a Dime's author found this Theory coat - and, with a leather jacket and leopard flats thrown in, the whole shopping spree was only $19!

We told you a bit about the Goodwill 23rd Street Store, but we still have more to share. Now, while we normally adhere to the maxim of ladies first, just this once, we’re going to start with the guys. After all, Valentine’s Day is looming… Gentlemen, are you prepared?

Give your sweetheart the best looking gift ever... You.

After all, love at first sight works better if you’re looking good, and if you’ve already got a special someone, your great style might just help keep it that way. So what handsome threads will you find at the Goodwill 23rd Street Store?

The Suit:

Pointed lapels & pinstripes shout Zoot Suit, making you a veritable gangster of love in this Michael Kors find. And swing this around, hepcat: the whole thing's only $59.99.

The Tie:

There are countless silk ties for sale at the 23rd Street Goodwill store. We love this cobalt blue one, but we're not the boss of you, Mister Zoot Suit. Pick you favorite & tie one on...

The Nightcap:

What's more romantic that a Valentine's nightcap? Make your sweetie swoon with martinis for 2 - and feel the glow of knowing just what a bargain all this decadence can be!

Good luck from all of us at A Good Look. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for some incredibly well-dressed men in the weeks ahead – and their adoring, lovey-dovey-eyed dates.

Happy Groundhog Day – and, according to Staten Island Chuck, happy early Spring! While we’re thrilled down here in NYC, we bet we know a region that’s ever more delighted to hear it’s nearly the end of the big winter chill… Good news, Capitol Region - things are gonna warm up very, very soon!

You’ll need to find your Spring fashion somewhere, so why not use your purchasing power to promote sustainability, job creation, rehabilitation programs and community recycling? And, after you do, keep us in mind as a go-to drop-off point for any Spring closet cleaning you tackle this year. Your donations make all the difference and allow us to do all we do. Thank you! So now, without further ado, please enjoy…

Want your gifts to stand-out? Add Goodwill! Green Living expert Danny Seo transforms a dollars-worth of silk flowers from Goodwill into 6 gorgeous gift-wrapping flourishes!

Daily Danny: Whenever I do a TV segment or magazine shoot, I have to buy multiples of products and supplies to show the various steps it takes to get from Point A to Point B in a project…  That’s why I love Goodwill for things like this: they have ample supplies of donated goods, it’s cheap and all the money used to buy these items diverts it from landfills and supports a worthwhile nonprofit.

Niche collectors, take note: Goodwill is full of bizarre, wonderful finds like this 24-page Wizard of Oz collectible edition. There's no place like Goodwill!

Magician of Oz: I am a fan of auctions, thrift shops, yard sales and the like. In particular, I love shopping at Goodwill whenever the opportunity presents itself. Although it is not an every time occurrence, more often than not I usually find something Wizard of Oz related. Today was, of course, no exception.

These two Italian little bowls were part of GirloftheBlog's big Goodwill haul - which also included a porcelain dish from 1929 & a vintage bassinet - all for $14.14!

Meet our friend Amy and her dog, Lakota.

Amy teaches Lakota about Winter Cleaning.

Amy loves Spring Cleaning. And why wouldn’t she? Spring Cleaning is, after all, a great time to tackle that closet, rediscover old gems and laugh at some serious fashion mistakes.

In fact, taking on your wardrobe is so rewarding, why wait ’til April? After the holidays and After-Christmas sales, our closets are packed to the gills. Imagining the mess another few months could foster, Amy decided to take a close look at her old clothes right here in January – and here’s what she’s decided to donate to her local Goodwill in Brooklyn:

First up was this hibiscus print pink dress. Flirty, fun, and high-fructose-pink, this would be a perfect outfit for anyone headed on a Spring Break trip to the islands, a President’s Weekend on Miami Beach, or even a Girls’ Tiki Night here at home.

Next to go into the Winter Cleaning donation bag was this sunburst of a summer frock. Completely comfy and full of cheer, this dress would be great for a low-key beach wedding in Mexico – or paired with a skinny belt, tights, a jacket and boots, could be just the thing for a winter dinner out on the town with friends.

Last but not least – this polka dot party dress. Whether you’re headed to LA for a week of sunshine or thinking ahead to next year’s Halloween (a game of Twister, anyone?), this Winter Cleaning treasure is yours to discover. Just get yourself to a Goodwill near you and enjoy!

And now that her closet is finally sorted, Amy can go back to what really matters… Playtime!

It’s supposed to be all sunny skies this weekend – so why not make the most of the great weather and enjoy a Long Island weekend full of Goodwill? Here are all our Goodwill locations in Suffolk and Nassau counties. Happy Friday!

Attention chefs!: Goodwill is your go-to resource for incredible cookbook bargains. This Larousse Gastronomique (a cornerstone of French cuisine, published in 1961) was only $2.50. C'est incroyable! - or, how we say, "That's incredible!"

Confessions of a Plate Addict: I also love my Larousse Gastronomique. It’s is a first American edition(1961) of a very well-known French food and wine encyclopedia and is without doubt one of the most interesting books I have ever picked up! It not only defines every food and cooking term that you can imagine (plus a multitude that I have never heard of), it also gives the history of many dishes, mini-biographies of famous historical figures associated with food and needless to say, includes recipes for oodles of French dishes… Oh, I have not even scratched the surface! This will be a fun book! The cost?…$2.50!
