Time for Part 2 of my Net-a-Porter sale picks! They are constantly adding new items, therefore I am constantly adding new items to my cart. They also started further reductions yesterday so now everything is up to 70% off! As I said in my first roundup, I add everything I like to my cart and then I wait until Final Reductions before deciding on what to get. This does mean I miss out on some pieces but since I don't really need anything that's fine by me. Have you picked up anything from the sale yet?

It probably wasn't the best idea to wear this top in the rain but I really wanted to wear these new pieces (seen here!) I definitely see both of these as being staples in the long run. I'm not usually one for basic button up blouses but since this one is sheer and has a fun print it's more "me." These are the softest jeans I have ever owned, they are slightly tight but they will stretch out after more wears so it's fine, ha ha. Can't pass up on $41 Current/Elliotts now can I?

Seasons come and go and so do the seasonal fashion trends. It is difficult to continuously keep up with all the different new styles, hypes and ins and outs - especially when you have to be careful with your money. So it is important to have some timeless fashion pieces hanging in your closet that you can mix and match with anything that you like. In the end, a few enduring wardrobe essentials go a long way. Here is a list of staples for you.
Purchase a timeless timepiece
A timeless timepiece might sound like a little bit of a contradiction, but a watch is one of the very few items that bucks all talk of seasonal trends. Pick a watch that will work with any outfit, and that reflects your personality and personal style.
Get inspired by the motorcycle look
Bomber jackets and biker jackets have never gone out of fashion. They started gaining attention in the early fifties, where actors such as Marlon Brando and James Dean wore them on the big screen, and ever since they have been a popular style staple for both women and men. They will complete any summer outfit, and they are great for the autumn too! You can purchase some beautiful and affordable biker jackets from New look.
Complete your collection of black-and-white basics
By black-and-white basics I mean almost all everyday clothing items, as these shades are easy to combine with any outfit, and you will always look on-point and classy in them. My top choice would be black pants, preferably skinny jeans or wool blend trousers. Black-and-white tank tops too can be worn with, and under, almost any outfit that you choose to wear. If your black-and-white basics game is on trend, then you will be able to complete any look!
Buy a stylish wallet that fits your style
As read on MarieClaire.com, think of your wallet as a direct reflection of how you manage your lifestyle. Seeing as you use your wallet on multiple occasions a day, in locations such as stores, restaurants and public transport, having a purse that you feel confident about will make you feel great all day long.
Get yourself a LBD
Many women and fashion designers think of a little black dress as the most essential piece in a woman’s wardrobe. It is mentioned so often in books, magazines and on runway interviews. The little black cocktail dress even has its own abbreviation and had many songs written about it. Let style icons like Edith Piaf and Coco Chanel inspire you and find a gorgeous LBD for yourself!

This is a guest post; the copy was written by an outside source but I provided imagery. I was compensated in exchange for posting, but it met my standards.
Most of this week was quite lovely, with the exception of Monday when it rained and I had forgotten my umbrella in the office. Ugh. Tuesday morning I headed to a sample sale and spent to much money. Then the rest of the week proceeded as usual...until Thursday. Long story short I ended up working from home and was supposed to go into the office today instead but there are flood warnings and I'm a bit nervous to take the train so I'm working from home again. Hopefully I don't get in too much trouble...but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Another weekend outfit for your enjoyment, although I would wear this to work too (with heels) because I'm lucky enough to work in a creative environment. I think Summer is finally here to stay! This weekend was sooo hot! I had to steal an air conditioner my parents weren't using for my bedroom, so now I'm ready for all the heat Summer sends my way! This is what I wore to see Star Trek Into Darkness for the second
time...it was hot outside but I knew it would be chilly in the theatre
so I opted for jeans. If I wasn't going to the movies I would have worn shorts or a skirt instead. But there's plenty of time for that so I may as well wear jeans while I still can.
