Yesterday net-a-porter added new products and made further reductions to their End of Season sale, now prices are up to 70% off!!! I made another purchase with the store credit I had from returning the Valentino shoes that were too small (but those are reduced now so if you like them: RUN, BUY, RUN!) I bought the following, click to go to the product pages:
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!
Did you buy anything in the sale yet? If you still want something don't miss out! The items are selling fast!

Do you guys remember Lisa Frank? I used to be OBSESSED! I had the stickers, notebooks, folders, etc. and I wish it was still acceptable to own them. Perhaps I'll pretend I'm 10 again and buy some! I still have my favorite stickers stowed away in my room, though! Sadly it seems like things have changed a bit since I was younger and they have added weird people...I was more partial to the cute rainbow animals, especially the pandas and unicorns!
Moving on...these Sally Hansen nail stickers reminded me of Lisa Frank, so when 2 of my (now ex) co-workers gave them to me on my last day I was SO excited! How awesome are they?! Sadly I got very annoyed putting them on so I'll probably stick to regular nail polish from now on. I wore this simple, comfy outfit for a family gathering on Saturday. Because of my awesome nails I decided to add my old rainbow belt and really old rainbow bangles! I always love getting together with the family, it's so much fun! Especially when one of my Uncle's takes unflattering pictures of me stuffing my face with chili ;) (if I had it I would show you, but luckily it's on his camera and not mine...)
Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Marshalls) $25, Jeans: American Eagle $15, Heels: Guess (Marshalls) $40, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Chanel, Necklace: Grandmother's, Bangles: Old, Rings: Mom's

My obsession with Burberry Prorsum grows even more every day. The Resort 2013 collection was presented on June 4th and I am completely in love! Christopher Bailey continues to amaze me with his ability to reinvent the trench while still letting you know that it's a Burberry. Style.com thought this was too similar to other seasons, but I guess that's what I love about it. I always know there will be amazing separates, pants and trenches but there is always something different about the collections. Here are my favorite looks (which is almost all of them):

I threw this outfit on yesterday morning for a run to the grocery store to get much needed food items so I won't starve. I'm starting to cook more (and am trying to be healthy) Yesterday I made Orange-Maple Glazed Chicken and Herbed Corn for my roommate and I! It was quite tasty if I do say so myself.
These pants aren't really summer pants, but this weather isn't really summer-like so I broke the rules. I did brighten them up with my other pieces though. And for a girl who doesn't like pink I seem to have a lot of it, don't I? I also feel the need to wear my cobra necklace whenever I wear these pants.
Textured Pants: Jolt (Marshalls) $20, Tank Sweater: Willi Smith (TJ Maxx) $15, Sweater: old, Wedges: Madden Girl (Marshalls) $20, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs gift card, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits, Rings: Mom's, Cobra Necklace: Vanessa Mooney giveaway

Today's Dress for Less isn't my usual whole outfit under $100 look. Instead I've decided to use designer items that are under $150 each. I want to buy every single piece, sadly I cannot. I did return those Valentino shoes I bought in the Net-a-Porter sale, because they were too small (if you buy them I would try a half size up, or maybe a full size,) so perhaps I can get a little something.
For this look I went for a simple vibe with the boyfriend shorts and slouchy tee. I also mixed in some tribal, with the necklace, and classic by adding the Michael Kors watch. The look is finished off with turquoise wedges that bring out the color in the necklace (because I like to do that...) It is a lot of trends but since they are simple pieces I think it works. The great thing about all these pieces is that you can mix and match them with so much in your closet!
OAK Top - $30
Current/Elliott Boyfriend Shorts - $130 [I wanted to use these MiH Boyfriend Jeans but they were $168...]
Chan Luu Necklace - $105
Michael Kors Watch - $112.50
MICHAEL Michael Kors Wedges - $75
KARL Canvas Bag - $25

This past weekend I spent lots of time with my roommate and our best friend. On Saturday we went shopping, out to eat, and they went out while I stayed home and relaxed. Then Sunday we went out for breakfast, to the beach, watched Harry Potter, went out to eat again, then some more Harry Potter (One friend hasn't seen all of them so we're watching them all in a row so she can catch up).
All of these activities required outfits, so I decided to do a little challenge with myself and styled this floral crop top I bought last year for $5 at Kohl's in different ways! Since I'm not working right now I need to get a lot better at remixing all of my pieces because I won't be able to buy too many clothes while I figure my life out.
Look 1: This look is perfect for when it is warm out but a little chilly. Just take some wide leg jeans, sandals and a light sweater and you're good to go!
Top: Mudd $5, Sweater: Kohl's gift, Jeans: Free People (Marshalls) $40, Sandals: Crown Vintage (DSW) $45, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs gift card, Sunglasses: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $20, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits, Rings: Mom's, Watch: Michael Kors
Look 2: This look is for when it is so hot out that you would rather walk around naked. Pair the top with sandals and a thin skirt so it won't be plastered to your body when copious amounts of water come out of your legs, stomach and arms. (luckily we aren't at this stage of summer yet)
Top: Mudd $5, Skirt: made from old dress, Sandals: Madden Girl (TJ Maxx) $20, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs gift card, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card
Look 3: Is a variation of look 1 but tailored for when it is a BIT hotter out. Wear some boyfriend jeans (perhaps with some rips so that your legs are ventilated,) and a light sweater with some flat sandals.
Top: Mudd $5, Sweater: Urban Outfitters $0, Jeans: American Eagle $15, Sandals: Target (similar) $15, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs gift card, Sunglasses: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $20, Necklace: etsy $8, Bracelets: old, Rings: Mom's, Watch: Michael Kors
