Saks Thank You Celebration 2016!

Trying to pull together your spring shopping list? Here are some of my favorite items from the sale!

1) Haute Hippie One-Shoulder Silk Blouse, originally priced at $245, this blouse is now a mere $68.60!  I’m crazy about the color, and the modern style!

2) BCBGMAXAZRIA Abilena Layered Pleated Skirt Dress, original retail $298 now $178.80.  This dress gives the appearance of two pieces, and I love how the skirt is half pleated and half A-line.

3) A Peace Treaty Isida Asymmetrical Choker Necklace, original retail $320 now $179.20.  Streamlined minimal jewelry is making a comeback, and this asymmetrical choker is perfect!  Half a bamboo design and half smooth metal, this necklace is intended to be worn off-center.

4) ABS by Allen Schwartz Stretch Bracelets, original retail $75 now $60.  These stretchy bracelets are the perfect way to add a pop of color to your spring outfit!  They also make a terrific inexpensive gift!

5) Gucci Optyl Cat’s Eye Sunglasses, original retail $325 now $243.75.  I was shocked to see designer sunglass brands like Gucci are included in the sale!  These Optyl Cat’s-Eye Sunglasses are such a statement in a pink and neutral gradient design, and a universally flattering shape.

6)  Bailey 44 Azalea Silk Top, original retail $196 now $137.20.  Bare shoulders are so popular for Spring and Summer 2016!  This silk tank by Baily 44 features feminine fluttery sleeves with a “cold shoulder” cut out detail.

7)  J Brand Floret Super Skinny Jeans, original retail $228 now $136.80.  Is there such a thing as a statement jean?  These skinny neutral colored jeans are jazzed up with a beautiful floral print.

8)  Michael Kors Collection Ellison Vachetta Leather Mid-Heel Sandal, original retail $425 now $297.50.  The chunky-heel of the 90s is back!  These gorgeous leather sandals feature a strappy, wrap-around detailing.

9)  Coach 1941 Whipstitched Saddle Bag, original retail $695 now $486.50.  If you haven’t looked at Coach bags in a while, it’s time to revisit the brand.  This bag is a popular saddle-bag design, with funky fringe accents at the side.  The chalk color is perfect for warmer weather!

10)  Aerin Marcelle 18k Gold Trimmed Trumpet and Oval Vases, originally $595 and $450 now $416.50 and $315.  You know I have a bit of a “girl crush” on Aerin Lauder!  So many people forget that the Saks home category is included in this sale, so I wanted to remind you of all of the gorgeous giftable items they have to offer!  These Aerin vases feature a hand-painted floral design and 18k gold trim.
