2008-07-03T12:50:00.000-04:00

It's a long weekend and I'm leaving soon so here's a few things on sale at Nordstrom!

Love this Marc by Marc Jacobs bow neck blouse. Originally $198 but now $118.

I love all DVF on sale, like these wide leg trousers. Originally $245 but now $147.

This James Perse tank dress looks tres comfy and perfect for Summer lounging. Originally $165, now marked now to $99.

These Joie sailor shorts are so cute! Once $148, now they'll cost you $88.

Ooo, fun asymmetrical mary janes! They were $115 but are now just $77.

Backless Underwear

2008-07-03T12:42:00.000-04:00

I just need to share this. Backless underwear? Who really wears something with such a plunging back and doesn't just go commando? I think butt cleavage is kinda too much anyway. Buy at Backless Lingerie.

Black Satin Bow Headband

2008-07-03T11:42:00.000-04:00

I guess this headband was inspired by "Gossip Girl" maybe even worn in the show! Buy at Kitson for $58.

Presse Boutique Sale

2008-07-03T11:14:00.000-04:00

Presse Boutique is having a sale right now, but that means things cost $300 instead of $900. Worth checking out though!

Intuition Latex Leggings Sale Code

2008-07-03T10:48:00.000-04:00

I posted these Kova & T leggings awhile ago, but Intution has them back in stock and you can get them for 15% off when you enter the code "LATEX" at checkout, making them about $97 instead of $113. Personally, I think they're over anyway, though; make way for lace leggings!

Silk Shorts

2008-07-03T10:36:00.000-04:00

Even though these are silk and have a smocked waist, I contend you can wear them outside the bedroom! Maybe not to a weekend BBQ, but maybe out to a club? I like how the wide smocked waist looks insanely comfortable and would hide a tummy quite well. Buy at Revolve Clothing for $158.

Cut Out Shoe Boots

2008-07-03T09:20:00.000-04:00

I am currently having a torrid love affair with these shoes and I'm desperate to find a pair that's slightly more affordable! No luck in my search yet, so if anyone sees anything I'd appreciate a head's up! Buy these at Net-A-Porter for $995 to make me insanely jealous.

Star Top

2008-07-02T17:49:00.001-04:00

Doesn't this look an awful lot like the racerback star top I own?? This one isn't fun purple, but it's a much more affordable $38 at ModCloth.

Lace Skirt

2008-07-02T16:31:00.000-04:00

I just read that this skirt is unlined, which makes it much less appealing for me, but what to you expect from Kova & T? Wear it over leggings or a slip and problem's sloved! Buy at Intuition for $64.

Ruched Waist Grecian Dress

2008-07-02T15:29:00.000-04:00

I was browsing the Barney's sale section when I came across this gem - a Grecian DVF dress, originally $345 but marked down to just $119! Wearable all Summer, to weddings or work or errands, I would snatch this up quickly before its gone.

Panel Vest

2008-07-02T14:14:00.002-04:00

Why wait to get a regular waistcoat for Fall when you can buy this vest and it's on sale now?? The off center panels are great, though I would not have styled this with a white shirt. Buy at Active Endeavors for $197.

Vintage Style Leaf Cocktail Ring

2008-07-02T13:03:00.000-04:00

A beautiful and very vintage inspired hand-carved and hand-painted gold lucite cabochon set in gold-plated leaf. Buy at Alexis Bittar for the sale price of $146.

Flutter Sleeve Jersey Top

2008-07-02T12:34:00.000-04:00

I really like Ports 1961, which I first discovered last fashion week! This is a great addition to your Summer wardrobe and if you buy it (or any item on sale) at Vivre today, you can get an extra 20% with the code "VEXTRA20" at checkout, which would make it $143.

All-In-One Beach Mat & Beach Bag

2008-07-02T11:51:00.000-04:00

I love these convertible bags, it just seems so efficient! But where will you keep your stuff once you lie out? Hmmm. Buy at Delight for $47.

Flowers In Pocket Cardigan

2008-07-02T10:42:00.000-04:00

This is just such a sweet and girly piece - it's hard to resist! For some reason it makes me think of cupcakes and parasols, it's that cute. Actually, be sure to pair with non cute pieces or run the risk of too cutsey! Buy at Anthropologie for $98.

Lapel Bikini

2008-07-02T09:34:00.000-04:00

This string bikini by the darling Mara Hoffman if perfect for your formal swimwear event, ha. But it's very subtle, not in your face styled, which makes it tres versatile. Buy at ShopBop for the sale price of $100, or in red and coral (much less contrast so the details kinda get lost) for $72.

Mike & Chris Drawstring Pants

2008-07-01T17:39:00.000-04:00

This pants just scream "comfortable," don't you think??? I like how you can roll them up for a cropped look too. But are they worth $193 at Rare Chic? That's for YOU to decide!

Want More Privacy Tee

2008-07-01T16:55:00.000-04:00

I recently saw this being worn by Eva Longoria, and it made me want to roll my eyes because to me it screams "Give me attention!" But I just discovered that the tee is by Privacy Wear, a clothing line that's main goal is to "bring breast cancer awareness to the fashion marketplace." Buy the tee in three color options for $48, and check out the rest of this urban-esque line.

Cut Out Patent Leather Oxford

2008-07-01T15:47:00.000-04:00

I absolutely adore the look of side cut out oxfords and boots! These Opening Ceremony ones are tres unique and covetable, buy them for $322 at Oak. Or buy them in white canvas at eLuxury for $300 even.

Low Tie Neck Blouse

2008-07-01T14:36:00.000-04:00

I don't usually see tie neck blouses that aren't kinda conservative looking, and this one is Philip Lim for the Gap AND on sale! Buy for $35.

Active Endeavors Sale Code

2008-07-01T13:56:00.003-04:00

I believe this sale code is for today only, use "independence20" at check out to get 20% off new items at Active Endeavors. It's not very clear, but I think they mean new items in the sale section, since that's where the email linked to...

Celeb Style: The Moon Dress

2008-07-01T13:25:00.000-04:00

I saw a Telegraph UK editorial about the Moon Dress by Roland Mouret November of last year, and it stuck with me. Even though Victoria Beckham wore it awhile ago now, I could never find the dress online. But Neiman Marcus just debuted RM by Roland Mouret as exclusively theirs and guess what's there?!?! You're right, the elusive Moon Dress!!! Now, if I had only been saving the entire time I may be able to afford the $2,130 price tag!
