LABOR DAY WEEKEND SALES

So long, Summer. We spent the first half of Labor Day weekend at the lake house where it was a rainy 50 something degrees and Summer felt a million miles away. We’re back in the city today though and hoping to soak up one last warm day before resigning to the change of seasons.

Truth be told, I love Fall. September feels more energizing to January to me in terms of ‘starting fresh’ with new habits, new routines and (naturally) new clothes. I’ve been thinking really strategically about my wardrobe going forward (more on that soon), but in the meantime – there are plenty of great sales happening today to help you pick up a few new pieces for the season ahead.

  • Anthropologie – extra 40% off sale styles – I always love picking up their housewares (like these cute mugs) when they’re on sale.
  • ASOS – 20% off sitewide with code LABORYAY – I’m picking up this dark floral dress for Fashion Week.
  • J.Crew – 30% off select styles – really into this fluttery top that comes in black and the prettiest emerald green.
  • Lands’ End – 25% off sitewide with code – I just got this trench coat and know I’m going to be wearing it on repeat all Fall
  • Sam Edelman – 20% off shoes sitewide – swooning over this pair of flats with tassels!
  • Talbots – 25% off full-priced styles – I’ve got my eye on this versatile leather belt

And while we’re holding on to summer – the below are my favorite posts from the past few months:

Enjoy the last day of Summer and I’ll see you all back here this week for lot’s of exciting new things! xx

5 MINUTE ESCAPE

Fourth-of-July-sales-south-street-seaport-nyc

Happy Birthday America! We’re spending the holiday weekend at the lake and until the rain has passed today I figured I’d share a quick round-up. So take a 5 minute escape.. then get back out there and celebrate with burgers/beers/beach/friends/family or any other way you want! Enjoy your Fourth of July friends and thanks for stopping by 🙂

– I shared a few ideas for Fourth of July style and I think this look (in almost head to toe ASOS) is by far my favorite. There’s a few sizes left in the striped off-the-shoulder top I’m wearing, but hurry because it’s now on sale!

– Need help packing the next time you take a weekend getaway? I’ve got beach and city carry-ons covered.

– Speaking of packing things up, I’ve been carrying this striped raffia tote everywhere since Spring and this weekend only, you can get one free if you spend over $350 at Elaine Turner!

– If you really want to make your red, white and blues pop – I tried Stila All-Day Lipstick in Beso for the first time (via an exclusive Birchbox set) and it’s the most perfect red lipstick I’ve ever tried. And trust me, I’ve tried a lot.

– By this point you know how much I love Sole Society (my shoes & accessories go-to) and their Fourth of July sale includes lots of my current faves, like this oversized hat and these perfect ankle booties.

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale (that magic time of year when they put new FALL goods on sale for a limited time) starts in less than 2 weeks, but FYI if you’re a Rewards card member you can get first access starting this Thursday!

 

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 🙂
