Designer Sale Picks

Now is the time to snap up some great designer bargains.  Since my shopping detox, I have remained clear about only buying things I love.  This is a collection of things I loved at full price, so it’s a bonus that they are now on sale (and thus closer to being affordable).

At the end of last summer I splurged on an Antonello Tedde clutch (with a handy hidden shoulder strap so that balancing a drink and an hors d’oeuvre is possible).  It is one of my all-time favorites.

Moda Operandi has a great selection of Antonello Tedde bags on sale.  A few of my picks are this tote, this clutch, this pouch and this tote.  They are all beautiful and so easy to wear.  You really can’t go wrong with any of them.

MyTheresa is having a great sale right now.  It’s a great time to scoop up a statement bag or a pair of great shoes (like the ever popular Golden Goose kicks). Here are my picks from the sale:

 

Golden Goose Kicks (also love this light blue)

Isabel Marant Blouse White (also in red and black)

Bottega Veneta Pink Crossbody (also this darker pink)

Balenciaga Striped Bag

Chloe Flats (also in red)

Prada Raffia Bag

Valentino Sandals (also with a heel here)

Isabel Marant Striped Top

Happy Shopping!

Memorial White

It’s official!  You can wear white as of this weekend.  This a rule I break all the time, particularly for my favorite super comfy Wit+Wisdom white jeans that I picked up recently in Santa Barbara for well under $100.  I also picked up this fun tie shirt (also a bargain) and considered the two pairs of slides (below) at J. McLaughlin (they are having a huge sale this weekend and the shoes are included!).  I also love this bell sleeved jaquard top, this eyelet shirt, these fun pants and this wrap dress.

I still have my eye on this bag (in a new color combo).

Countdown to Summer

I’m getting excited for travel, swim, parties, longer days, but most of all summer styles!

Now is the time to snap up some great new arrivals at J. Crew. Most items are 40% with the code GETAWAY (through May 28th).  I have listed my top 15 favorites below.  It’s also a great time to pick up basics like my favorite New Balance Sneakers in both the gold/salt and rose gold/navy  ( I have both!)are included in the 40% off.  I wear both constantly and you can throw them in the washer.  They come out beautifully.

I recently stocked up on a few basic t-shirts.  The new supima cotton is so soft.  I grabbed a few solids and stripes.

Hiking up to the Getty

It’s back to reality from the long weekend which included museum hopping, riding a fire truck in a 4th of July parade, fireworks, a kid’s race and lots of fun.

For this visit to the Getty Museum I put together this casual outfit and everything in it is on sale!  I just picked up this placed stripe tee for a steal and styled it with my favorite vintage crop jeans (they are such a good deal right now that I got a second pair), my pink signet bag and New Balance sneakers.  I was in a very competitive Fitbit competition, so we walked up to the museum instead of taking the tram.  I love my Fitbit Flex 2 in navy.  Competing definitely makes me look for more walking opportunities.

Greenery

Greenery is nature’s neutral according to Pantone. It is also a life-affirming shade that is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality. I feel the same way about my favorite neutral, leopard print.

I styled Maddie pants in misty forest, Colette d’Orsay pumps in leopard calf hair, silk pocket blouse, Ryan sunglasses in blush, and an oval lucite link necklace – all by J. Crew.
