Fall Designer Clearance

The Fall Designer Clearance season has started and there are some great deals on some beautiful designer handbags!

Burberry has a few pieces on sale at Nordstrom, including the Maidstone and a few from the jute line. Saks also has a medium Milton on sale which is gorgeous. I fell in love with the two toned one though, which I can't find anywhere! I am holding out hope that it comes back next season.

Proenza Schouler also has a few bags on sale at both Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.  There is an adorable PS1 nylon crossbody in black that I am very tempted to order!

Anniversary Picks and Reviews!

I've been busy shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and reading up on what are everyone's hits and misses.  Just a reminder -- the public sale starts on Friday, July 22!

A lot of the ladies at the purse forum RAVE about Bony Levy jewerly. After seeing the jewelry in person I can understand why. The pieces are delicate but they have massive sparkle!  I desperately want this ring but alas, it isn't in the budget for me this year. You can be sure I'll be saving my pennies for a Bony Levy piece next Anniversary Sale!

The jacket that a ton of people have been raving about but is SOLD OUT is the BlankNYC Morning Suede jacket. I didn't get a chance to try this but I've been stalking the page to see if it gets restocked. It looks so good on so many people!

I think the Joie pieces in the sale are really cute. In particular the Suzetta split neck top was much prettier in person than on the website.  There is some delicate pleating on the yoke and the shoulders. It is sheer, so you'll need a base layer of some sort.

Barefoot Dreams has been expanding their anniversary offerings every year. This year there is a new Circle cardigan in addition to the popular drape cardigan, robe and blanket.  Every year, I want to buy the drape cardigan but alas it is just too big on my small frame. This year the Circle cardigan intrigued me because the sizing is listed as "Xtra Small/Small" (vs. the Small/Medium on the drape cardi).  Well I'm in luck because this one fits me much better!  I'm so excited to wear this one this winter.

As for misses, I did not like any of the plaid I tried: the BP Plaid Tunic Shirt -- completely shapeless on me and the Volcom flannel frenzy was similarly shapeless.  I wanted to love this Soia & Kyo wrap jacket and the Ted Baker wrap coat -- they were both BEAUTIFUL, but far too long on me. 

What were your Anniversary hits and misses?
