Ah, the illustrious friends and family sale! I love to hit up Bloomingdale’s for their F&F sale (most recently scoring the MK tote in this post) and now F&F just went to a new level: Shopbop! Access discounts on brands/designers often excluded from promotions. Want a few ideas? Keeping under $200 per item, here’s exactly what I’d add to my cart because they’re brands I’ve adored — hello Joie, Equipment and Parker! — yet this average gal typically can’t afford the price tag. Today only (Wednesday, April 18, 2012) use code INTHEFAMILY20 for 20 percent off! Husband: you listening (My payday is Friday; talk about poor planning… and I’m the boss!}
Prices listed are pre-discount: parker lapel wrap dress ($198; color, flattering silhouette, racerback, sold!) /equipment silk blouse ($198; word has it these are insane! It’s on my total dream list) / joie cover-up ($98; in four patterns) /splendid tee maxi dress ($138; talk about a staple! Change up with belts, jewels, shoes) / j. brand mid-rise skinny in lilac ($170; gorgeous color, perfect pair of jeans) / Jules Smith alex bracelet ($85; glam up any look!) / marc by marc jacobs aviators in burgandy opal ($110, also in black; I’m due for new shades) / rebecca minkoff mini mac clutch ($195, comes in multiple colors/fabrics; I have in black… it’s the best, especially at this price point) /
And, three pairs of shoes to make it through the summer:
sam edelman t strap sandal in citrine ($65; the go-to summer sandal in a fun color and killer price point)/ soludus in ikat ($42; I didn’t get a pair last year and now I know why: this pattern now exists! Currently in my cart) / sam edelman yelena ($140; obsessing after seeing these on Grace’s blog and Instagram feed. Pair with pants, dresses, etc.)
