This event won’t last long, it’s only until October 14, 2021, at 11:59pm PT, so it’s a good idea to get those items in your cart soon!

Woo! Now that you know the details, let’s start on the pieces I curated and hope to purchase for my closet. Of course, I always advise to get items that are great to incorporate into your existing wardrobe. Always great to add a good pair of jeans, these are some of my favorites from RE/DONE, the stove pipe jeans. I have them and wear them all the time. They also make great basics, love their tees and this white one with the ribbed details and small cap sleeve is so cute.

I like purchasing at least one nice sweated that can be worn in many ways so I opt for a very minimal design. This one is perfect. Love the drop sleeve and the color is so ideal. You can wear with a silk skirt to dinner, with jeans to go shopping, leather leggings and heels for drinks. It’s so versatile.

Clearly I’m having a thing for light leathers as per these gorgeous bootie heels and this bag. They are a dream! I’ve always loved a light color for Fall as I feel like it’s a nice break from the heavy dark colors. They are also very beautifully designed, love the shape of each of them - unique and again, versatile. Which is always key!

And of course, I was super excited to see that accessories were available for this event. I have a pair of blue light glasses that have been life changing. Being a social media manager means countless hours in front of a screen and I used to deal with a lot of migraines and headaches that I know came a lot from my screen time. Since I purchased a pair, I have noticed such a difference! My eyes feel less tired at night, I’ve noticed I fall asleep faster since I’m not overtired from the screen and headaches have gone down significantly. Definitely purchase a pair, you won’t regret it. Lastly, some of my favorite candles are included in this sale! OBSESSED with Maison Louis Marie. Their candles burn beautifully and smell divine. The cassis candle is definitely one of my top ten candles another purchase you won’t regret.

Let me know if you’ll be shopping the sale! Excited to see what you all will be getting. Let me know in the comments what you’re eyeing and buying :)

STYLE: Transitional Pieces for Fall

We’re in that beautiful time of year where it’s not quite cold enough to wear a heavy jacket but wearing tees alone are a little too chilly. Finding the right transitional pieces is key because they can be worn throughout the seasons. Alone when it’s not super cold or layered once the temperature drops.

I’ve rounded up some great pieces to add to your forever wardrobe. Neutrals are always your best options for these pieces so they can be mixed into your wardrobe easily as well as last much longer than a trendy color. These are the pieces that are well worth investing in. They will last you for years and you’ll want to wear them constantly. That’s why finding a good quality piece is so worth the investment.

CO light beige cardigan (find more cardigan options here) / KHAITE oversized denim jacket (find more denim jacket options here) / TOTEME black two button blazer (find more blazers here)

A neutral cardigan is a must! I can’t stress this enough. It goes with so much. Pair with a silky dress, oversized jeans and a tank, over a black tight turtleneck and high waisted wool pants. The possiblities are truly endless so it’s a great piece to add to your closet if you don’t already have. I love a nice chunky fabric as it can give so much character to a look. Also looks super chic tied around your shoulders.

I like a denim jacket because it’s just easy. I even wear it in the summer when I just want a little something extra if we go out to somewhere that has air-conditioning. Draped over your shoulders is cute too. I love anything draped over my shoulder to be honest! Something super effortless about styling pieces this way.

Of course you need a black blazer. I can assume you most likely already have one but upgrading to a timeless piece like this one is very worth considering. Wear to work, to dinner, out shopping. I like dressing it up and down which is ideally what a good blazer is able to do. Just making sure it has good structure in the shoulders without too much padding that it looks like it’s drowning you. I prefer a tad oversized for a ‘borrowed from the boyfriend’s closet’ look.

TOTEME straight leg wool pants ( shop more trouser pants here) / JOSEPH cropped wool wide-leg pants (shop more wide-leg pants here) / GOLDSIGN the peg jeans ( shop more goldsign jeans here)

Black straight leg pants seem to never go out of style. I’ve seen changes in the rise from high to low but I think high and mid-rise are the best classic styles. I love wearing them with a simple white tee or a silk cami for a night out. Sneakers or high heels - both look great.

Casual but elevated. These wool wide-leg pants are a great replacement for all the sweatpants we’ve been wearing. Still comfortable but more put together. I love a good pant like this for traveling or just a quick coffee run. Makes me feel like I don’t look like I just rolled out of bed. Pairs well with a white oversized button down or again, my favorite - a white tee.

Oh denim. My first clothing love. I could wear denim for almost every scenario and that’s why I love them. This pair is a tad more tailored and in a great medium wash. I like a medium to dark wash when I want to look more formal. I think it’s more elevated than a light wash. Of course, black denim is always the best way to go for a must have staple but I think medium wash is a close second.

CONVERSE high top sneakers (shop more converse here) / JW ANDERSON black chain loafers (shop more mules here) / CHANEL black ballerinas (shop more flats here)

I love love love converse high tops. I have them in black and in white and I find them to be such a good staple. They are super comfortable, I wear them with pants, jeans and dresses. I love how you’ll see young fresh faced Parisian women wearing them as well as 7 year old boys and girls. They are a pretty perfect sneaker.

Loafers are very much a classic shoe. There are so many variations now and every season brands come out with a new take on them. I was not a fan when these first came out but they quickly grew on me. I have these Gucci ones that I’ve been wearing for years but if I could do a fun upgrade, I would definitely get these.

Chanel Ballet flats. You just can’t go wrong. I love how easy and feminine a ballet flat is. Another shoe you can wear with everything. I wore them with cashmere sweatpants the other day and they looked very chic. So many options for ballet flats but Chanel is the ultimate classic.

What would you say your favorite transitional piece is? Would love to know!

STYLE: Effortless Summer

An effortless summer is what we needed after this past year. Although things aren’t fully back to ‘normal’, it’s nice to dress up a bit outside of just workout shorts and tees. Super inspired by this look, mostly because it’s easy but feels very put together.

BLACK OVERSIZED SHIRT (shop more button down shirts here), HIGH WAISTED DENIM SHORTS (shop more denim shorts here), BLACK FLIP-FLOPS (shop more flip flops here), BASKET BAG (shop more summer bags here)

I can’t get enough of oversized button downs. I think I want one in every color. You just feel a little sexy yet classic and you can’t go wrong with black, ever. What I love is this look can also be reversed with a more fitted black shirt buttoned up and super baggy shorts. A little more edgy take. Dress up this look even more with a ballet flat or kitten heeled sandal (or how perfect would this be with a Carolyne Manolo slingback pump) and a more structured bag. Don’t you just love pieces you can re-imagine over and over.

Remember to look into materials like 100% cotton and linen as they will be way more comfortable and breathable for the summer. The only way to do black without overheating!

We still have plenty of summer left, thankfully! What looks are you gravitating towards? Let me know in the comments.
