Sales! Sales! Sales! Fancy Sales, Fancy Sales, Lots and lots of Sales!!

OK, when I had more time on my hands, pre-Will, I was obsessed with signing up to win things online.   http://winit.intouchweekly.com/ was one of my favorites.  This week you can win anything from shopping sprees, vacations, to cameras, or jewelry.  Basically any magazine website has sweepstakes.  So if that is your thing by all means, http://www.redbook.com/ is giving away a TV, a Mexican vacation, as well as some boring stuff like flip flops and water bottles.  http://www.luckymag.com/ has 37 fashion and beauty giveaways including these saucy shades from Donna karen NY.

"Did you ever win anything?" you may be asking yourself...  Well, yes, but no big prizes.  I won a lip gloss here and there, a set of hair care products.  But really it was a way to entertain myself while I was working at 4 Flights.


Now, that my free time is a very limited resource I prefer to know I am going to get something I sign up for!  That is where the discount websites come in.  Most of these offer boutique or designer labels for discount prices.  The sales usually last for a few days and once something is gone it is gone. Some require an invite so I have included my invite link for all below!  I am sure some of you have seen some of them but here are some of my favorites:

Gilt Group



http://www.gilt.com/invite/mylink10262

They have one of my favs, Shoshanna, right now for well over 50% off!  Gilt has sales for WOmen, Men, Kids, Travel, and Home.  Intriguing fact about Gilt is that they have their HUGE warehouse in Shephardsville, KY.  I would be SOOOO excited if they opened an outlet.  I will keep you posted!!

A $675 Judith Ripka necklace for $405

I couldn't resist showing this similar style off my website for $59...

Ideeli

Ideeli also has Women's, Men's, Kids, Home, and Travel sales.  The best deals come during the Red sales.  This is when they sell off all the leftovers from past sales at even deeper discounts!  Right now they are featuring sales from Juicy Coutour, Adrienne Vittadini, Rebecca Beeson (boutique line of T's, cami's, and cotton dresses), and check out theses cuties from Steve Madden....  $69 shoes for $29

Wouldn't these be PERFECT to bring to Derby for your tired feet at the end of the day?

Totsy is mostly kids stuff.  Clothes, toys, excercise equipment for mom's, diaper bags, etc.  I am pretty excited about a few of the sales coming soon including Michael Kors sunglasses, Janie Maternity, and Summer book club.  I did fiund this little number by I Dream of Johnny to be awfully handsome!  Origionally $32 now $17.50

HauteLook

http://www.hautelook.com/invite/331739

HauteLook has an amazing denim sale right now!  Paige, 7 for all Mankind, J Brand, and Joe's all for more than half off.  I have a hard time buying jeans online but if you know how a cetain brand or style fits, jump on there and snag a deal!  This site is similar to ideeli, and gilt.  Right now Ella Moss, Joie, and Jessica Simpson Shoes are on sale among many others.  I found this summery handbag from Romeo & Juliet Cotoure for $55 marked down from $139

Wouldn't it look cute with your khaki trench coat? Coming soon they have some sales I am excited about... Sunglass Blowout, Watch Blowout, Rock & Republic to name a few.

finishing touch ...

Well, when you're dealing with two names like Manolo and Balenciaga it's hard to find jewelry to do them justice ... but I am giving it my best shot.  Let me begin by saying to the bride to be, BRAVO on your choices ;) Here are my suggestions to finish off this amazing ensemble, I found them from some of my favorite online jewelry stores, charmandchain.com, maxandchloe.com and anthropologie.com

charmandchain.com
$145

charmandchain.com
$182

charmandchain.com
$190

I'd pair these bold earrings with a soft bracelet or ring.  The shoes and earrings together will definitely make a statement "I am a confident bride to be!"

maxandchloe.com
rings $70

maxandchloe.com $95
bracelets

antropologie.com
$38
bracelets

I do have other options, if these aren't what you are looking for.  A more subtle, still elegant, option.

maxandchloe.com
$40

maxandchloe.com
$98

With these earrings you could go with a bold ring or bracelet.  The shoes are your statement piece, the jewelry will compliment it, not fight for the attention.

maxandchloe.com
$123

maxandchloe.com
$100

maxandchloe.com
$80

maxandchloe.com
$188

Hope the bride to be likes what I found!  Would love to hear comments, even if I nothing I found will work ;) I will keep searching!

This is Meg adding a few things I found.  How about these beauties from Oscar de la Renta...

The turquoise ring Whit found along with my obsession with fuchsia and turquoise ever since Cameron Diaz wore the out fit below inspired a few more picks...



Amrita Singh- Vilma
$100 http://www.amritasingh.com/
I love this Indian jewelry designer!  You could not go wrong with a pick from her collection! 





Melinda Maria
Mosaic Drop
$105 http://www.maxandchloe.com/

Of course, that combo might not be exactly what the bride was going for so here are a few more options...



These two are from Kendra Scott.  Above is the  "I Do" (how perfect!)  for $100

http://www.maxandchloe.com/

Below are the "Nyla" $71.25

http://www.zappos.com/

The next two are from Swarovski.  The first are the "Nighttime" for $165 and the next are the "Noon" for $90

I couldn't help but post my favorite thing from the Stella & Dot Spring Collection!  It would look great with the shoes but needs a simple stud earring to go with it.

I will keep posting if I find anything at any local spots I check out this weekend!

Manolos Seeking Earrings...

We have our latest challenge and wish me luck on this one!  A very stylin' bride to be is wearing a short white dress to her rehearsal dinner with these beauties:

She needs a big, bold pair of earrings that play off the bright fuchsia in the heels.  Can't wait to see what Whit comes up for this one!!
The dress she will be wearing is a white Balenciaga Cloquee A Line dress...

Is it Swimsuit Season Again Already?

Sorry I have been gone for awhile.  After a trip to FL with my 1 year old and my 3 year old niece I needed a while to recover!  I did realize, as I packed my 2 piece away, that it might very well be the last time I was able to wear it for awhile.  Sigh.  But... that brings me to our latest challenge.  Where can I get a cute bikini online?   NOT Victoria's Secret or Target.  Well ok, if you want to be different and not see the same suit two lounge chairs down, you may want to skip those popular sites.  My suggestion is www.topshop.com.  This website is based out the U.K. so you will have to figure out what the pound to dollar conversion is, but that is easy enough to do.  I just googled currency converter.  Here are a few that I loved and they were all around $45.

I guess you could say I am into the nautical theme this year!  Of course, I will be in something looking more like this.....

Send your challenge or question!  We would love to do our best to find some fun fashions for your closet!

Center of Attention Dress!

Follow the yellow brick road ... right to the wizard of fashion ... ok, I tried.
This dress makes me sing the song from the wizard if oz, follow the yellow brick road when i see it.  I mean come on this dress has to make you smile!
And you better make sure you're in a good mood when you wear it because you are sure to be followed around with people asking where you got it, because they want one for themselves!  (which you will reply Collections in Westport Village ;)  I am in love with this dress because you can change it up so many ways with jewelry.  You can wear dress to several different places, wedding, derby events, or just grocery shopping if you want!  However, and be prepared to lend it out because everyone will want a turn wearing it!

Paired with a pair of these earrings, also from Collections and you will definitely be the center of attention!

coral/pink earrings $25
turquoise earrings $60
both found at Collections

If you see what you like then you have to check out the rest of their amazing selection of jewelry that will compliment any outfit! here is just a tease of what they offer.  You'll have to stop in to see all of it, trust me it's worth the trip!! I NEVER leave empty handed!  

Another dress that I am obsessed with is this classic gray, lightweight dress.  The back is what sells it for me!  The feathers that tie in the back make a statement when you walk away ;) guarantee no one else in the room looks just as good leaving as they did coming in to the party!  paired with this this beautiful bold necklace and you'll look like you stepped right out of the pages InStyle magazine! 

Collections $68, also comes in green
necklace $138

Last, I have to throw in a great summer bag that Collections has.  Along with a TON of more handbags and clutches that you have to check out!  

Still need a derby hat?? 

Collections just got in 16 new derby hats, if you want at one of a kind hat, better hurry in now before they're all sold!  Last time I was in they had 3 phone calls asking when the hats were arriving! here are a few incase you need an incentive to stop in ;)

Pair one of these hats with this beautiful floral dress (another trend for the spring) and you'll be a winner!

Collections $118

If you are looking for an original dress, or just in the market for spring apparel, jewelry or handbags then Collections in Westport Village is a one stop shop for you!  You can find all the trends of the season for a price your wallet will allow.  The bold colors, the floral prints, statement jewelry, you name it and they have it!
Mention this post when you stop in, thanks!!
