Sale Alert // Tory Burch Private Sale

March 19, 2015 by jessica 3 Comments

The Tory Burch Private Sale launched today, which means it’s time to pick up a few fantastic summer items for the coming months and a few cold-weather must-haves to tuck away until fall (like these gloves — sigh!). I adore this tote from last year’s limited collection to celebrate the opening of the Rodeo Drive store. I already own a Tory Burch smartphone wristlet (it was my birthday gift from Dave last year) and it’s incredibly handy for travel. This patent leather version comes in light oak and black. Need a new piece of jewelry to breathe new life into your wardrobe? Try this green and turquoise necklace. And, for $29, this key fob is a steal. It conceals a bottle opener and there’s a subtle embossed “Cheers” on one side. I’ll drink to that!

SHOPPING STRATEGIES

Check in with your loved ones to see if they have any items on their wishlists from Shopbop or East Dane. You can combine orders to get up to that $1,000 threshold for 25% off.

If something doesn’t work out, no sweat. Shopbop has a great return policy. (And it’s free.)

Items are reserved in your cart for 30 minutes. Add everything you love–especially if there’s low stock–and edit before you check out.

TOP TEN

I spent a lot of time the other night scouring the Shopbop website to find the ten best items worthy of a pre-season sale splurge:

A classic pair of Ferragamo Varinas or Varas. I own two pairs of Varinas and they’re by far my favorite shoe. They’ll never go out of style and they rarely go on sale. This is the time to order a pair to try for yourself. (And, yes, I am buying them in black today. Can’t. Wait.)
Tory Burch’s colorful Kerrington pieces are my favorite take on the ’70s trend. (I’m also snagging this tote.)
I think it’s safe to say that Michael Kors watches have finally reached icon status. This simple silver watch with a white face is another piece you won’t tire of quickly.
Loeffler Randall’s “Starla” sandals keep making a comeback year after year. Pair them with simple summer dresses.
Looking for an add-on item you’ll actually use? Opt for any of Gorjana’s pieces.
Keepsake is a new-to-me brand with ultra feminine clothes. I adore this white frilly romper.
This swimsuit has the perfect mix of sex appeal and athleticism.
A DVF wrap dress is a no-brainer. A black jersey option takes you from the office to date night with ease.
Style and UV protection? Yes, please!
A Tory Burch smart phone wristlet. Dave gave one to me last year for my birthday and I used it a ton last summer. It’s especially great for nights out on vacation when you only have a hotel keycard to stow. (Seriously consider this. You’ll use it more than you realize.)

Julie Vos is having her semi-annual sample sale right now! If you’ve been waiting to order something, you’re in luck. All sale items are now an additional 25% off with code EXTRA25. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on accessories for any warm-weather vacations you have planned. (The Phoenix Pendant would look stunning with breezy summer dresses … nudge, nudge.)

Monica Vinader has taken up to 70% off gorgeous gemstone jewelry in the final cut sale, giving you even more reason to kick off the year on a sparkly note.

The grey agate Baja earrings (also under $100) are a simple staple you’ll wear year round. Prefer diamonds? Check out the Riva cocktail earrings that are 70% off the original price of $750.

Shopbop Sale! Wear Now | Wear Later

December 30, 2014 by jessica 6 Comments

Shopbop just threw its hat into the ring of fantastic post-holiday sales with an extra 25% off all discounted items. Of course, you could spring for a cozy sweater you’ll wear the rest of the season (it is the most practical choice with plenty of winter ahead of us), but I’m thinking something more versatile like a handbag. There are hundreds of handbags on sale, including Rebecca Minkoff’s Perry satchel and the darling bag above from Karen Walker.

A good handbag isn’t cheap, even with the extra discount, but I do think it’s where your money is best spent if you’re looking for just one beautiful piece to take you into spring. You’ll use a light, neutral bag long after the last snowflake melts with a lacy white dress and a pair of simple sandals from Splendid. Throw in carefree, glittery accents with a tassel necklace from Shay Accessories and retro sunglasses from Kate Spade. Until then, bundle up in an oversize coat with sensible black pants and Tory Burch’s snakeskin flats. (I have the blue pair and love them. Go with your regular size.) Add a bit of warmth with edgy rose gold accessories to complement the bag’s feminine hue.
