Ok, ladies! FOUR AMAZING SALES YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS (this is serious stuff):
Shopbop Friends & Family: girls, this site is good. 25% off is not to miss! Use code INTHEFAMILY for discounts on the perfect fall pieces. Love the free shipping + returns, and that they have very few designer exclusions (why hello there, Tory Burch!).
Piperlime: 30% off hundreds of fall styles, through 10.18. You saw Monday’s post, right? Those blazers, vests + jackets are such finds, and an extra 30% off makes them extra sweet. Also, free shipping + free returns! Discount is on all of this (love the chic blouses)!
Saks: just started its Friends & Fam. Yeah, not the most inexpensive, but if you’re looking to indulge, now’s the time! Like these flats, these pants (I wear constantly!) or this metallic crossbody bag… gorgeous classics.
BaubleBar: today only, statement necklaces are 20% off! This is where I have nearly all my costume jewelry; it’s so phenomenal + fun! Use code NECKLACE for gorgeous stunners like this (need!), this or this (styled here). Swoon!

Regardless of the current temperature where you live, adding a blazer or vest year-round is a really easy way to make your outfit more interesting, more stylish and more put together. Consider it instead of a fleece, a sweatshirt-type jacket, etc. Adding this type of structure defines your shape and adds excellent visual interest. For example, check out the outfits in the image below; they’re mostly just basics: denim, pants and a casual blouse, with the outfit totally defined by what’s being layered on (hint: the easiest way to recycle the rest of your look; just change the top — or the necklace!).
Since one of my favorite online retailers, Piperlime, is having a slew of its fall style on sale (I only want 2/3 of this! want nearly all the blouses), couldn’t resist sharing with you these 12 stylish blazers, vests and jackets perfect for fall…best of all, everything here is under $100, and that’s before the 30% off (through Oct. 18).
black aviator vest // double breasted cream coat //fair isle blanket sweater //snake print jacket
military jacket // jacquard moto jacket // red tuxedo jacket // shearling vest
moto tweed jacket // long black moto jacket // army green vest // rugby stripe cardigan (comes in 3 colors)
With temperatures more consistently warming up, it’s time to break out your toes for a little polish party! There are so many good sandals, and open-toed options right now; when I’m looking for a new pair of heels, especially for a good price, I often head to Piperlime’s “Girl on a Budget,” which features items under $100 (and I adore that Rachel Bilson, Olivia Palermo and Rachel Zoe weigh in with their favorite picks). Below are four perfect pairings, but the best part? Each polish perfectly complements each shoe you see here, affording you tons of new color accents to your spring wardrobe.
Aldo (ankle strap + good height!) + Butter in Poole
Anne Klein (also in gold, love the thick heel) + Sally Hansen in Get Juiced
Gap (comes in 5 colors, adore the hot pink!) + Revlon in Charismatic
Seychelles (hello cute stripes!) + Essie in Under Where? (personal fav!)

Let’s pretend this post is timed to New Year’s Eve because people say it’s the best time to load up on sequins. Truth be told, any day is the best day! We don’t do New Year’s like we used to — so much happier in comfier clothes (ok, with a bit of sparkle), good friends and bubbly. Plus, rough to go out when the little one doesn’t sleep in (in fact, somehow she’s usually up earlier. Brutal). Ring in the new year and continue through 2013 with a little sparkle in your life, and your wardrobe. In smaller quantities it’s totally work appropriate, too. Everything just feels a bit more special.
