Shopbop 25% off

by Lauren

Shopbop is having 25% off today with the code SPRING25.  Happy day!

Here are a few things I am eyeing …

RAG & BONE

I bought these a few weeks ago and I’ve already worn them three times.  The weight of the fabric is perfect (read: not cheap, not sheer) and the painted print makes these a stand-out pair of pants (without being too crazy).

Heidi Klein

I’m a big fan of the one piece bathing suit … and this fun ikat print is beautiful and vibrant.

Cool change

I love this jumpsuit – its so easy breezy and looks like it would be great as a beach cover up or for casual cocktails outdoors.

Theory

This dress is so chic, casual and comfortable, who wouldn’t want to throw this on and run out the door?  Check out these other options from Clu

SUNDRESS

Heading to the Caribbean?  I suggest packing this fun number.

Shopbop F&F – Whitney’s Picks

By Whitney

As Lauren so wonderfully pointed out yesterday, Shopbop’s Friends and Family began yesterday (and runs through Thursday at midnight).  25% off of most everything with code FAMILY25.  If you are a reader of bloggers, you know this is quite the event since pretty much everyone has posted their picks.  My favorites are below but you know what, go crazy.

As a sidenote, two other stellar F&F’s are going on.  Saks also has 25% off with code FRNFAM through Monday  (my favorite?  This perfect Rebecca Taylor cocktail dress for a wedding or holiday party this season).  My top jewelry site BaubleBar has 25% off through tomorrow night with code FRIENDS25 and there are some amazing deals to be had.  I’m loving this statement necklace, these mint green stunner earrings, another statement necklace (or this more subtle one too) and of course a ton of different types of 360 studs.

Clockwise from top left:  Loeffler Randall Marita Boot – $695 // Vince Haircalf Slip on Sneakers – $229 // Kate Spade Sapphire Earrings – $48 // Rails Carmen Button Down (in lots of great plaids) – $96 (was $128) // L.K. Bennett Alma Cutout Sandals – $395 // Linea Pelle Hip Belt  (my favorite brand for A+ belts with jeans) – $120 // Tibi Simona Jacquard Dress – $395 // Julie & Co Apres Soiree Necklace – $80 // Vince Hooded Coat (this is just so gorge it’s worth the hefty price tag) – $695 // Cooper & Ella Susan Double V Blouse – $125 // Monserat De Lucca Clutch – $129

 

Shopbop F&F – 25% Off

by Lauren

It’s our favorite time of year!! Shopbop Friends & Family starts today – enjoy 25% off with the code FAMILY25!  Usually I get totally overwhelmed by this exciting news and balk and don’t order anything I end up keeping or I just freeze altogether and can’t make decisions.  This year, I am prepared.  Here are a few of the things I have been eyeing:

DKNY Cape Dress

If you have room for a little extra drama in your life, buy this.

Sneakers, Cotu

It is impossibly hard to find casual, comfortable shoes for the winter – so a fresh pair of sneakers is high on my list for running errands and commuting to work.

Vince lace overlay blouse

Whenever I can find a pretty, long-sleeved, yet versatile top – I jump on it.  This one has just the right amount of detail to make it fun for a night out.

Susanna Monaco Shift Dress

There is something so simplistically elegant about this – I think this dress would prove to be quite versatile as the seasons change.  It is great for date night, a work event – and will look cute with tights when the weather changes.  (Also available in this spicy blue version).

Mara Hoffman beaded dress

I think this dress is quite chic.  I also think it would look awesome with a thin, tight turtleneck layered underneath.

BCBG Peplum Skirt

How great is this for a work to happy hour transition?  I would probably order this one size up to make it office appropriate.

Similarly speaking, I LOVE this Elizabeth and James Pencil Skirt

(wear it with a plain blouse (option 2) or a fitted turtleneck)

Equipment Aubrey Dress

There is only one left!  And I suspect it will be gone momentarily, but I may have to comb the internet for this little minx.  (Found it!)

Jonathan Adler Tic, Tac, Toe

Because who doesn’t love a friendly game?

By the way, F&F is a great time to stock up on basics — if you don’t have the following, I suggest you seriously consider giving them a try!

1. Theory Sartorial Blouse (perfect for work & play)
2.  Vince Turtleneck (great for layering)
3. Paul & Joe Sister Sweater (chunky knits are always a great idea)
4.  Loeffler Randall Tamsin Pumps (work place must)
5.  Milly sweater dress  (a perennial favorite)
6.  Anything Equipment

Lust List – Bloomies Friends & Family Version

By Whitney

Happy Bloomingdales Friends and Family everyone!!!  F&F is 20% with code “FRIENDS” and runs through midnight on Sunday.   It’s a great time to pick up some of those classic Theory pieces Lauren featured yesterday or some Vince sweaters or pretty much any of your fall basics.  Today’s lust list are a selection of my favorites.  A couple of things didn’t make the photo but I’m loving this Amanda Uprichard dress,  this cashmere cardigan you’ll wear constantly and of course the Loeffler Randall rain booties that I think about on a daily basis.

Clockwise from top left:  Rebecca Taylor Ombre Top – $260 (was $325) // Kate Spade Cluster Earrings – $54 (was $68) // Aqua Top Lace Trim (love this basic blouse to easily go from work to cocktails) – $46 (was $58) // Tory Burch Kensington Brigitte Cosmetics Case (this is a perfect holiday gift…you know I get started early…) – $75 (was $95) // Kate Spade Bow Front Sheath Dress (the perfect Little Black Work Dress) – $230 (was $295) // Milly Chain Trim Cardigan – $196 (was $245) // Michael Kors Popcorn Scarf – $142 (was $178) // JOA Caged Dress – $70 (was $88) // Loeffler Randall Pari Pumps – $276 (was $345) // Rails Plaid Button Down Shirt (perrrrrfect for comfy weekends) – $102 (was $128) // Quotation Leather Star Sweater – $182 (was $228) // Alexis Bittar Lucite Crystal Lace Necklace (STUN.NING) – $356 (was $445)

 

Saks F&F – Ferragamo Shoe Time

By Whitney

Happy Monday everyone and happy Saks’ Friends and Family.  25% off of everything with code FRNFAM through next Monday April 28th(!!).  There’s a ton of great stuff for spring out there but I always use this F&F to take a peek at my favorite shoes, Ferragamos.  I’m not saying these are great deals, but for shoes that I wear for almost every occasion (work, holidays, weddings) it’s always nice to get at least a little something off!!!  Not every pair is eligible for F&F but the below are (and see the rest here).

My Muse Flats (in black or pink) – $281 (were $375)

Pakuna T Strap Wedge Sandals ($$$ but so gorgeous!) – $506 (were $675)

Pola Patent Pump (these are a classic in the nude or the black. Get them rubber soled and wear them for ten years like I have with the closed pump version) – $431 ( were $575)

 Varina Bow Flat (the all time classic) – $338 (were $450)

Shopbop F&F – Get Excited

By Whitney

Lauren and my favorite part of spring has come, you guys.  It’s Shopbop’s Friends and Family.  Get 25% off of EVERYTHING through Thursday at midnight with the code INTHEFAMILY14. As always, we are featuring our favorites.  Besides the below, I am dreaming of this perfect skirt, a cover up in a great color on everyone, a pair of perfect pink strappy sandals for summer and this necklace that will look good with pretty much everything.

I’m loving this easy cover up in blue or the pink.  It’s pretty enough to take you anywhere, not just the beach.

Thayer Sunshine Cover Up – $182 (was $242)

Mara Hoffman Circle Dress (or try one of her other amazing ones like this maxi or this awesome mini) – $224 (was $295)

Tory Burch Savannah Wedge Sandals (these are a must) – $187 (were $250)

Joa Gingham Skirt (with a matching top if you’re so inclined) – $50 (was $66)

F&F (well it’s about time)

by lauren

At long last we are beginning to see a wave of Friends & Family specials… both DVF and Rebecca Taylor are running 25% off until Sunday.  From Rebecca Taylor, I am really loving the blush pink items and obviously her spring tweed.  I have to say though, my last few experiences with RT have been kinda disappointing.  The last 3 items I’ve bought from RT have ripped within the first hour.  Anyone else??  Nevertheless the pinks are pretty… as for DVF, she rarely disappoints me.  Her feather leopard print is to die for (I know it doesn’t look incredible in the photos, but the print is a flattering hue for all skin types – give it a try).

 

Sleeveless Net Top

Tweed Dress

Feather Leopard Shirt Dress (also available in a wrap)

I think this animal print sweater/tee (on sale!) would be so cute with shorts this summer

Sheath Dress

This dress may not look like much, but it is a tried and trusted DVF look.  I think this is great for a work to evening transition – the fabric is the best part.  It’s made of a crisp, slightly elastic, poplin – basically my favorite fabric on earth.

Bloomies Friends and Family Picks

By Whitney

As I mentioned earlier, Bloomingdales Friends and Family for spring is going on through April 6.  Take 20%  off of everything and there is lots and lots to choose from.  Besides the below, I am loving this amazing bikini, this necklace in every color and these perfect studs that take you to work or to a party.  Go perk up your spring wardrobes!

Ray-Ban Icons Ice Pop Wayfarers (love these in all of the colors) – $128 (were $160)

Kate Spade New York Abbey Dress (aaaand this is my favorite dress for spring 2014) – $318 (was $396)

Vince Boyfriend Cuff Pants (Lauren needs these) -$156 (was $195)

Ivanka Satchel Ostrich Embossed (an awesome white bag for summer!) – $360 (was $450)

 

Calypso Special

by Lauren

My favorite chain store – Calypso St. Barth – is running an awesome promotion right now:

That’s over 20% off at some price points.  A few of my favorite picks:

Hendrix Tote

I actually have this bag in the camel color – and I loooove it.  It adds a fun, western punch to a casual jeans and a blouse look and it is sure to fit allllll of your necessities.

Pillow Bag

If you haven’t seen this bag in person, you can take my word for it – it is divine.  The color is soft and feminine and who doesn’t love this star print?  Nobody.

Agate Coasters

Agate is super “in” right now as a decorating accent – and I love these coasters.  They would make a great gift or house warming surprise for a friend!
