Designer shoe sale haul

It’s my bi-annual designer shoe sale haul 🙂  I tend to save up all my money and buy most of my shoes only twice a year during the sales.  I always end up buying a ton of shoes because I can never resist a good sale especially on shoes!  Well, this year I actually found a pretty bag that was on sale too so I definitely can not keep all of these but thought I’d show you what I ended up getting and maybe you can let me know which ones I should return?  I really do need your help as I love them all!

I completely forgot to take “real” (not iPhone) pics of these Fendi pumps but I instagrammed them last week.  They are so cute and I’ve been eyeing them forever, couldn’t believe the black ones went on sale!  I can’t find them on sale anymore, seems like they are back to being full price.

These Miu Miu flats I’m definitely keeping (seeing as how I’ve worn them already as you might’ve seen on my instagram). Aren’t they so pretty?  I love how they sparkle!  Bluefly currently has them on sale.

Miu Miu Jewel Flats

I got these from Net-a-Porter and I didn’t see them anywhere else on sale.  I’ve been wanting a pair of Maniac pumps for awhile so was very glad to see these go on sale.  Definitely not a color for the faint of heart but I love bold color shoes so I think I’ll get lots of wear from them.  They are sold out of my color but they still have a few on sale in pink (60% off now), pink suede and nude suede.

Brian Atwood Maniac Pumps

These YSL booties were a lucky score as my SA at Nordstrom told me I got the only pair in store and they were my size!  I’m a fan of the tributes as I already have the pumps and mary janes and find them all to be very comfortable.  I love the cap toe on these!  SSENSE has the all leather version as well as the cap toe tributes on sale

I love the color of these Jimmy Choo pumps but out of my haul these are probably my least exciting pair.  I do like to have classic pumps in different colors and textures which was what attracted me to these but I’m a bit undecided if they are worth keeping over my other shoes.  The good news for those of you that are interested in them, they are now 60% off at Nordstrom! I got them for 40% off so waiting it out is always worth it but I’m too afraid of missing out on my size so I just snag them when I can.
Jimmy Choo Cosmic Platform Pump 

Lastly are the most gorgeous Prada boots.  I have a hard time finding boots and these may just be perfection in a boot.  HOWEVER they are suede and Seattle is so rainy and gross that I hesitate to spend this much money on boots that I can’t wear very often.  I do wish they were leather but I was lucky at least finding these in my size.  They are OTK boots however, they look great scrunched down too so I like that they can double as knee high boots too.  These are the same ones but in leather.

Prada Over The Knee Boots

A lot of places are already marking down their designer merchandise to 60% off.  Sizes are slim but you never know, you might get lucky!  Make sure to check out Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter and Barney’s!

Lookbook: Yellow Choos

What I’m Wearing
Romwe Stars Top – no longer available.  If you are new to Romwe, you can get $20 off your first purchase or save 15% off your purchase of $80+ with code OCT15.   Loving this star print blouse and a cute star print blouse at ASOS.
Shop Sosie Dress worn as a skirt – you could get the same look with this J Crew skirt (on sale).
Jimmy Choo sandals – one of my Nordstom Rack finds!  I majorly scored on these, I think there were 70% off or something like that.  Gorgeous yellow Jimmy Choo pumps that will make a great transition into fall.
YSL Cabas Chyc mini satchel – also in pink and red
t+j Designs Luxe Pave Spike Necklace – did you see the 4 bloggers that wore it on our latest STYLE it series?  They all took this necklace in 4 different ways but they all look amazing!  Check out their looks here!
t+j Designs Rose Gold and Pave Oval Bracelet and Love and Heart Rose Gold Bracelet

I love this dress but when I bought it, I for some reason didn’t look at the pictures of the back of the dress which is basically just a sheer panel of lace.  When I got it, I took one look and was like “I am much too old to be wearing that.” but it was so cute that I wanted to make it work so I’m sure I’ll end up wearing cardigans and blazers over it but on this day, I loved the poofiness of the skirt part so turned it into a skirt for my outfit.  It’s always great to get multiple uses for an item of clothing!

Lookbook: Love and Hearts

What I’m Wearing
* Romwe Heart Print Bow Blouse – this top sold out when I bought it and they brought it back but looks like limited quantity.  I was hesitant about the quality before I purchased but when I got it, I was pleasantly surprised!   Similar here in navy blue and cute in pink too.
* Zara Trousers
*Jimmy Choo point-toe pumps – Loving Jimmy Choo this season I want these pumps!  Or for a look for less, LOVE these Dolce Vita pumps!
*Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM
t+j Designs Jewelry:
– Rose Gold Pretty Ring
– Rose Gold Turquoise Cushion Ring
– Rose Gold Love Necklace

Just a simple work outfit but had to share one of my new favorite tops.  I find that heart prints are difficult to wear in a grown up way but this top is one of the few that I can actually wear to a client meeting.  I’ve been living out of a suitcase lately and I mostly just packed these type of blouses.  I can’t get enough of them!  I’m just loving all the different colors and prints.  Plus, they are just so easy to pack and look great for work or pair them with jeans for dinner.  And if you missed it, check out my travel packing tips post to see how I pack my suitcase.

I’m not traveling this week so hoping to get lots done.  And we just launched a whole bunch of new arrivals today!  Check it out, so many pretty pieces! 🙂  Happy Monday!

It’s been awhile since I did an office look and now since I rarely go into an office (and even when I do, I travel for work so I don’t have anyone there to take a picture.) I just don’t really pull together office looks anymore.  In fact, I got rid of most of my “office” clothes and now just wear whatever I have in my closet to make it office appropriate.  The top I’m wearing here is actually a tunic that looks really cute with skinny jeans or leggings but tucked into the high waisted skirt you’d never know.  I decided to add a bit more fun to the “boring” office look with a bit of bling.  I don’t shop ebay much but one day out of frustration from not being able to find what I wanted to find on my usual online shopping stops, I went to ebay and started typing in random searches.  When I typed in “Rhinestone bangle” I came across this insanely cute bow bangle/cuff and just had to bid on it.  I’m like a 5 year old, bows and sparkles will always get to me!

Anne Klein Lurex Cardigan
I never thought I’d get so much use out of a silver cardigan but the metallic is fun to add to outfits.  The Vince Shimmering Knit Shrug is gorgeous as well or the Amber Sun Ruffle Trim Cardigan is a bit more toned down in the metallic but love the ruffles.

Forever21 Relaxed Chambray Tunic
Love this tunic!  The color is fab as is the price.  The Merona Women’s Pintucked Tuni has cute detailing and would be cute with the metallic cardi or Armani Exchange Chambray Tie Tunic is perfect if you’re looking for a sleeveless version as sometimes it’s annoying when you’re sleeves get all bunched up when you wear a cardigan over it.

Three Dots Cotton Stretch High Waisted Skirt
The perfect basic high waist skirt and sale for $43!  I do like this pinstripe skirt for a little bit of a texture in the skirt and would look really great with the chambray tops and the ASOS Belted High Waist Mini Skirt is so fun!

Jimmy Choo Lilac patent-leather pumps
I tend to favor round toe pumps now but I used to only buy pointy toe pumps so I have a ton that I don’t wear as much now.  The Enzo Angiolini Kylin Pump are a similar shape and are on sale for $70.  I’m not a huge fan of the super cheap shoes as my picky feet can’t handle the plastic they use but these Forever21 Perfect Patent Pump are actually really cute and you can’t beat that price!

Merlin Indicolite Ring
I love Swarovski jewelry.  They are all super sparkly and you know I love my sparkles!  I love going in the swarovski store and trying on all their fun jewelry.  Especially loving the stackable Nuts Ring or the Helios Rosaline Moonlight Ring.  Such a pretty pink!

Lookbook: London

I’ve been checking out the fall/winter collections and am dying to get so many things. I thought I’d pull out a look from last winter. Here I am on my way to a business meeting in London.

What I’m wearing:
Coat: Zara
Dress: Mango
Tights: DKNY
Shoes: Jimmy Choo
Bag: Louis Vuitton
london tower

The jacket was a last minute buy when I was in New York prior to the flying over to London, turns out it was an excellent purchase as it was a lot colder in London that week than I had expected! The dress is the same one in my Working Girl lookbook. Just goes to show how you can take one dress and wear it from summer to winter.

It’s funny seeing me with that LV bag as I don’t think I’ve carried it since that trip. I’ve become such a BIG bag kinda girl that I don’t even bother with my smaller bags. That being said, I still love it. It really went well with that outfit.

The office we were meeting at was right next to the Tower of London. They took us out on their deck and I got some pictures of their view.
Can you imagine looking out of your office and seeing that everyday?

So you know once you buy your dress, you pretty much stop looking? Well, that was me. Same with my shoes. I’ve been buying shoes like crazy but not looking for wedding shoes. And then I stumbled upon these lovelies on Lovely Morning. And I am torn.

Here are mine (the ones I wore to our courthouse ceremony as well)

and here are the new contenders.

Oh the decisions to make.

Lookbook: Pleated and Pink

I am going to make some time tonight to write about the wedding ceremony. Am posting this as it was already in my drafts and so you don’t miss me. 😉 will have ceremony pics and post tomorrow!

I am a sucker for pleating, I just love the way it looks. This top is really easy to dress up or down and because of the flowy fit, I do not have to worry about anything bulging out AKA my “muffin top”.

Savvy makes a special appearance in the lookbook! I like that she’s yawning in the picture. I imagine she’s telling me how bored she is of my pictures.

The jacket is a really great versatile jacket. When it’s buttoned up, it looks like a shorty trench coat.

What I’m wearing:
Jacket: Club Monaco
Tank: Club Monaco
Jeans: Taverniti So
Shoes: Jimmy Choo

Here are some more shots of the top.
I like these shots of my hair. The digital perm is still working out for me!

The necklace I’m wearing is this charm from Tiffany & C0. I went crazy when Tiffany’s came out with their charms series and bought/was gifted many a charm. Admittedly, most of my jewelry is from Tiffany’s, after all I was named after the store! They have every letter of the alphabet, most people that ask me about my necklace don’t know that so yes, they do have more than just T’s!
