BEST OF: SUMMER KICKOFF SALES

After another week of ‘June Gloom’ in New York, I’m welcoming the official start of Summer this weekend with open arms. Hoping the sun comes out this weekend to celebrate, but either way – another pretty great way to get ready for the season is with a little bit of sale shopping. Some of my favorites are offering awesome discounts right now, so I rounded up a list below, plus if you hover over the instagram snaps above, you can click through to those exact items directly (the original prices are shown for the most part, so get ready to have reverse sticker shock when you get to the sites.. my favorite kind!). Aside from snagging some deals, I’ll be celebrating Father’s Day with my family Saturday night and working on a little bedroom makeover here at home which I’ll be sharing a peek at next week! Happy Friday/weekend/summer/everything my friends 🙂

French Connection – 30% off all full priced items w/ code FCDADS + extra 50% off sale items with code SALE50 – I’m picking up this fringe-tastic top to wear as a beach cover-up or with skinny jeans.

LOFT – 40% off sitewide – I’ve been wearing this chambray sleeveless top on repeat

Lulu Frost – Sample sale online runs through Sunday – I just grabbed this pin for just $30!

J.Crew – 30% off full price styles + extra 40% off sale styles w/ code GOSHOPPING – my hat collection is craving this straw boater

Ruche – extra 40% off sale items with code EXTRA40 – I wear this jersey dress constantly

Sole Society – up to 50% off select styles – these heeled sandals are maybe the most comfortable pair in my closet

Talbots – 30-40% off select summer styles – how fun is this beach tote?

NAUTICAL STYLE AT SOUTH STREET SEAPORT

I’ve been living in easy denim pieces and stripes this Spring (proof here and here) and this outfit may be the ultimate culmination of that. Saturday morning I took these wide leg white trousers for their first spin in a location that had an equal dose of nautical style – South Street Seaport.

HAIRSTYLES FOR EVERY EARRING

Hair Fix: Hairstyles for Every Earring

Maybe even more so than a great necklace, I’ve realllyyy got a thing for earrings. But with so many different shapes and sizes (don’t even get me started on how long it took me to explain what an ear jacket was to Adam..), it’s good to have a few simple hairstyles mastered that let each pair really shine. So I teamed up with AOL’s StyleList to show you just that.

FOR STATEMENT EARRINGS:

The most dramatic, these always call to mind Old Hollywood glam for me – even if you’re dressing them down. I like to do a deep side part, soft curls and pin just one side back to let the earring really show. (p.s. hover over each pair for more info)

FOR SMALL STUDS:

Small on size but not on style, these are perfect for everything from the office to your weekend runaround. I like to pair mine with an equally no fuss hairstyle like a half pulled back look. Don’t worry if a few face framing pieces fall out, it adds to the throw it on and go feel.

FOR LINEAR/TASSELS:

Long and full of movement, these styles beg to shake it off on the dance floor. Or at the very least, be seen. They already call attention to your face (making them perfect for a romantic date!) so I like to let linear or tassel styles be the focus and pair with a sleek, low ponytail. Extra points if you wrap the ponytail holder with a small piece of hair from underneath!

BUILDING A JEWELRY WARDROBE

As I find myself leaning more and more towards a streamlined clothing wardrobe, I’ve been leaning more heavily on my collection of jewelry to elevate even the simplest of outfits. And it occurred to me, that a jewelry wardrobe is something that should be just as thoughtfully curated. Since I’ve spent close to 4 years working in the jewelry business and many more being an admirer, I thought I could share some helpful tips. Continue reading “BUILDING A JEWELRY WARDROBE”
