10th Commandment: April 16

Shopbopsale-450x350

It’s time again for one of the best sales on the Interwebs, the Shopbop Friends and Family sale.  A great opportunity to score mid-range designer goods at a reduced price and get your closet ready for the warmer weather.  Here are the pieces that caught my eye:

I never miss a chance to stock up on discounted Hanky Panky.  Even if I just grab a few low-rise thongs and a couple of their new-ish Bare thongs, I keep my intimates drawer stocked.  And this time, I picked up a few pair of the Hanky Panky seamless boy shorts, perfect for those of you who dislike thongs as much as you dislike VPL.

I’ve been on the hunt for a new spring bag, and I think this Rebecca Minkoff Jules Satchel in tan might be the one.

A handful of dresses grabbed my attention, and apparently, I’m in the mood for jersey.  This Ziggy slub-tee maxi dress from Velvet is a great summer staple.  I also adore this ruched, knee-length jersey dress from Monrow.  And this Bailey 44 dress in black or white with a cut-out back is a showstopper (seriously, do not miss this one).

If you’re in the market for new shoes, these $89 Carolee wedges from Steven are amazingly chic.  I wore these Joie two-band, tan and metallic sandals to death last summer.  And if you need new commuter flats, adidas by Stella McCartney has these lightweight, blush-colored ballerina flats.

For blouses, I love this Club Monaco Diana spotted shirt and this $93 Lanston shirt with a drape front.

Lastly, I’d like to add some simpler jewelry pieces to the rotation.  This Jules Smith Boyfriend Bangle is as simple as it gets.  And this Jennifer Zeuner Mini-Wishbone necklace would make an excellent graduation or Mother’s Day gift.

  1. Despite the fact that you have been praising Hanky Panky for years now, I never bothered to try them until Gilt City had a deal. I wish I had done it years ago. Brilliant.

    Nice roundup. I can’t believe what a great sale it is! It’s only too bad they don’t have the silver Mini M.A.C. from Rebecca Minkoff I’ve been craving.

    Do you think one could wear a bra with the Bailey 44 dress? It is amazing and I could wear it to work with a blazer or cardigan I bet.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
