Sale Roundup

Some of our favorite new sale items from around the WWW.

The Clothes






Perfectly preppy and perhaps not-quite-workplace appropriate (but for all the right reasons), Alexander Wang’s Denim Oxford Shirt Dress would look extra amazing with black shooties. Originally $465; now $232.














Alice + Olivia’s gorgeous Charlie dress features ombre sequins and beading on silk chiffon. Marked down to $346.50 from $495.














Pair this McQ cropped asymmetric jacket with jeans and heels as a perfect dressy substitute to your favorite tee. On sale at $92 (originally $230).














See by Chloe’s Rolled Sleeve Eyelet Shirt Dress is ridiculously pretty. Marked down to $300 (originally $375).















L.A.M.B.’s super slinky Dolman Dress with Zipper could double as an equally incendiary tunic over skinny jeans. Was $210; now $147.












The Shoes





Chunky zippers elevate strappy details on Pour La Victoire’s Dalena flat sandals. Now $118.16 (originally $310.95).

Item of the Day: BB Dakota’s Mesh Me Much Top
I’ve always had an odd fascination with the whole ecru netting ice-skater look, and judging by the recent preponderance of mesh items on Gossip Girl and the red carpet, it’s becoming more socially acceptable off the ice.
BB Dakota is always a good bet for cheap chic pieces, and I love this top’s combination of mesh and stripes, as well as the fab exposed oversized zipper detail at the back.
It’s a distinct possibility that this shirt may make me look like an extra from a Tim Burton film, but at $60, I’m willing to take the risk.
Currently available at $59.99.

Item of the Day: TomTom Jewelry’s Three Sheets to the Wind Necklace
I need to spend $200 on a ribbon necklace like I need three less hours of sleep a night, but holy cow do I love TomTom Jewelry’s Three Sheets to the Wind Necklace to distraction (the cheeky name certainly doesn’t hurt). I’m adding it to my massive list of things to buy once home renovation/spending purgatory is over (hopefully before the TomTom 20% off discount expires).
