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?

I feel like my blog is a constant advertisement for net-a-porter. If you haven't noticed I can't go a few days without mentioning the store in a post, but I can't help it! They're my favorite store and place for inspiration! I think they should offer me a job ;) (just kidding, even though I would LOVE that)
Anyway, here are my current lusts and items I'm hoping are in the End of Season sale, which I have a feeling will be coming soon (I know a few probably won't be in the sale, like the Pistols, but I love them so I included them anyway)! I've been saving up so I can splurge on a couple items, hopefully not more than that though...I don't think my bank account would appreciate me wiping it out on clothes. No matter how much I would like to. [You can expect another post on net-a-porter items once the sale starts]

This week was beautiful!! It was also my first week of leaving at 3:30 every day, I only gained an hour of time after work but it was glorious! Monday it was 85 degrees so I headed to the beach to read for an hour. The rest of the week was equally lovely but I stayed inside. I've been researching online courses in fashion so I can hopefully get my dream job soon. I was thinking of taking fashion history courses and maybe even some more marketing classes that are specifically geared toward fashion. Anyone have suggestions? I was thinking maybe Parsons... I don't really have much else to say so enough of my blabbing, here are my looks from the week!
 Monday: Dress: Ralph Lauren (Lord & Taylor), Sweater: Kohl's gift, Wedges: Burberry (The Outnet Clearance Sale) $80, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs |  Tuesday: Dress c/o Fresh Produce, Cardigan: Urban Outfitters, Wedges: Steve Madden (TJ Maxx) $20, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits, Rings: old & c/o OASAP, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs |

A couple weeks ago NET-A-PORTER released their Spring/Summer 2012 Shoe Guide! I posted their Bag Guide before my vacation so now it's time for shoes! As you all know I have a huge affinity for unique, super high shoes so I've been looking forward to the Shoe Guide for since the last one came out!
This season there are so many different varieties, all the way from color pop heels and evening flats to wedges! I am loving the evening flat trend, as you saw on Monday I bought some this weekend! You can also take a peek at some amazing shoe closets in the guide! Check it out here! Some of my favorites are as follows, click the images to go to product pages!
And here is a fun video showcasing some of the shoes!

You only get four outfits this week because I spent Monday in my pjs...perfection! I love short weeks, don't you!? Although, this week wasn't the best week to have only 4 days because we had something due to a client today and we're totally not done, but it isn't my fault so it will be okay. (still panicking a bit though.) This week was also strangely warm, I didn't have to warm my car up before work or wear a real coat...WOOHOO!
This weekend is going to be fun. I'm going to a blogger meetup tomorrow with my lovely Connecticut girls (and meeting a new one!) and then Grandma's on Sunday. Other than that I'll be relaxing and watching movies. I may have a Disney Classics marathon (abc family is having one but I want to watch more AND with no commercials.)
Friday Addition: I think I jinxed the weather...woke up to snow on the ground this morning. Normally I would enjoy this...too bad I have to go into the office today...darn, I hate driving in the snow!
P.S. Check out this exclusive interview net-a-porter has with Michael Kors, I will be posting my favorites from his Fall 2012 collection soon!!
