Guess what guys! It's officially Christmastime, my favorite time of year!!! It is always a struggle for me to wait until after Thanksgiving to start getting excited, but we have to show Turkey Day a little love! Anyway, last week Net-a-Porter released a bunch of exclusive Holiday Sweaters by designers like Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Phillip Lim and more! Here are the ones I like best (click on the images to go to the product pages), check them all out here!
Thanksgiving is a joyous holiday in the calendar for feasting and marking the arrival of the harvest. It also a good time to give thanks to your friends and family, by showing them that you care perhaps with a gift. Handbags and purses can be the ideal gift at this time of year as with the season’s change, it’s always great to keep up to do date with a new accessory. Whether the handbag is for you or a friend, there are some key styles which are great for the thanksgiving period. Here is my thanksgiving bag wish list.
- Benetton Bag – Brown
This is a gorgeous bag with deep purple brown leather. I love the simple shape and classic buckle with the subtle electric yellow detailing; it’s got a lot of autumn style. - Zign Bag – Red
The Zign Bag is a Thanksgiving favourite for the following reasons. It is made in the most sumptuous leather coming in red, black or brown I will leave the choice up to you. Also I can’t get enough of the briefcase style – it will always be in fashion. - Orla Kiely Bag
On my fashion wish list next is the Orla Kiely handbag in black. This is an occasion bag so if you have a party to attend this Thanksgiving, this bag is versatile and super lovely. - DDP Patchwork Purse
You will need a purse which goes well with all the bags on the wish list. I love the DDP Patchwork Purse, brown and red leather compliments the bags perfectly. Zalando’s range of purses has some other great styles that are perfect for this time of year.
Today I thought I would share some of my current lusts for Fall/Winter (and one random pair of sandals)! There are so many things I would love to add to my wardrobe, but I probably won't be getting any, but we'll see, I may splurge on something. Scroll through the gallery below to see and/or buy the items!
I've prepared this post in case I was too tired last night to form coherent words from being in the car all day (again) so if you see this post, "Hi from Thursday!" Anywayyyy, Thursday I was checking out Shopbop and came across this gorgeous Nanette Lepore firefly dress. It is seriously perfection! I love the shape, color, print, etc., but not the price tag, so I'll have to wait for a huge sale. Have any pieces caught your eye lately?
Ever since the Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2012 show in February I've been obsessed with the plethora of owl tees and sweaters! They came in many different forms: screen printed on tees, sweaters embellished with beads and vica versa. There are even different owls to choose from! Ever since I have added "Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012 Owl Top" to my Only Dreaming wishlist. I have a tiny obsession with owls...
Unfortunately they come with a hefty price tag. The few that have made their way to online stores range in price from $295 to a whopping $2,995 (YAOW!). I am going to wait to see what other variations come out and then I'll make my decision. This is pretty easy to DIY, but I am not as crafty as I once was. But we'll see. Either way I WILL own an adorable owl tee or sweater!
Click on the images below to buy the shirt! Unfortunately my favorites are the grey tee with the beads ($650) and light grey cashmere sweater ($1295)
Burberry's website has a bunch more available as well, check it out! There are even male versions, so you could get a small version of one of those!

The Burberry Prorsum sweater was a splurge, again, but I've wanted it since I saw it on the runway. I may return the Splendid sweater but it looks soooo comfy! And the OAK top was a nice deal at only $18! SCORE! I'm a shopaholic, what can I say?
And here are are some of my picks from the new items and reduced items, click the images to visit the product pages! Make sure to check out Part 1 too because many of those items have been reduced!
I know, I know, I just posted some of my favorite pieces from net-a-porter, BUT their End of Season sale started yesterday morning and you guys know I've been waiting for it for MONTHS! I got the email when I woke up yesterday and was so excited about making my purchase that I forgot to eat breakfast! You guys are going to think I'm insane but I bought these two pieces (click the image go to to the product pages.)
For those of you that don't know how it works, the sale starts with reductions up to 50%, then after a few weeks they reduce the prices even more and then after a few more they reduce one more time! So you can either wait and hope what you want doesn't sell out, or buy it and not wear it until you know whether or not the price is reduced. It does take a bit of self control to not wear the item right when you get it, but it can save you a lot of money in the end.
My strategy, (and what I suggest you guys do if you can afford to) was to buy 2 things I REALLY wanted now and then wait for further reductions to buy more stuff I want. Then, if the things I already bought are reduced and still available in my size to buy them again and return the originals.
Good thing I didn't wait to buy the Burberry London dress because I bought the.absolute.last.one!!!! It was a bit out of my budget, but I love it so much and I've wanted it for months. So I half hope it fits and I half don't because then I'll have to keep it! I want the shoes to wear to my cousin's wedding in July, but I'm hoping they're more dark pink than red. If they are red red I'm going to return them because I already have red pumps.
And here are some other pieces I'm keeping an eye out for, as well as the pieces in this post! I put them in order from least expensive to most expensive for your convenience. (I only got through 20 pages of the clothes out of 82, so I may post some more pics on Facebook tomorrow rather than torturing you guys with another post...unless you want another full post!) There are pieces in every price range so don't be afraid to check out the sale if you don't have a lot to spend! There are tons of pieces in the $18 to $100 range.
Have you bought anything in the sale?! Or will you?
