friday finds: fall friends & family fun!

Wow, that was a seriously alliterative title. I’m skipping the usual Friday Finds extravaganza this week, because there are so many fantastic sales going on around the web this weekend, I thought you might rather hear about those. I know you all love a good bargain just as much as I do!

First up, nab this cute little Joie crossbody bag free with any $250 purchase at Saks – just use code WCONTEMP2 (you’ll also get free shipping on $200+ with code SFASHIP). Ordinarily, I’m not much for free gifts, as they never live up to the hype. But even though this one’s free (and faux suede), I actually love it, from the chain strap all the way down to the tassel detail on the closure.

Lots of Friends & Family love going on this weekend. Get 20% off all purchases with code FALLFRIENDS11 at Bloomingdale’s this weekend, plus free shipping (no code required)! It may be time to splurge on that DVF Mikhaila coat I’ve been eyeing all season…or maybe the Harrington vest. {It’s worth noting that Nordstrom will usually match this deal, especially if they carry the same item.}

And more Friends & Family excitement at Endless (thanks for the tip, M!) – again, take 20% off storewide (with the usual exceptions) through the weekend with code SEPEVENT. I’m thinking it’s an excellent excuse to get a little more Loeffler Randall in your life.

Remember when I told you about Matches Fashion a few weeks ago, but lamented their pricey US shipping? Well, today only, free worldwide shipping at Matches with code WWFREE. Some pieces are a little pricier than they would be stateside (damn conversion rates), but some are a steal…like this orange herringbone coat from Weekend MaxMara, which I’m pretty sure would be about $300 higher here.

Quite a weekend for indulging your inner compulsive shopper, no? Any other deals you know about? Share them in the comments, won’t you? Just think of it as retail karma.

okay, i swear i wasn’t planning for that to be as alliterative as it turned out.

anyway, when i was in hawaii last month, i stopped by chanel (hey, i was on vacation), where i spied the most lovely new rendition of their classic cap-toed ballet flat. mirrored silver with patent black details, exclusive to the hawaii store….and sold out in my size. tragedy!

ever since, i’ve been a little overly obsessed with picking up a chanel flat. my wallet, however, disagrees. so i was thrilled to find these new stylish flats from bloch london, all of which average about $150 (rather than the $500+ i’d drop on the chanel version).

while i love many of their styles, it’s the cap-toe version that first caught my eye, and that fuchsia/black combo is destined for my shoe closet. but i’m also loving their foldable classic flat – i’ve tried to track something down like this for the longest time, and suddenly i have all of these options at my fingertips! and that fun tri-color version is going to be the perfect accent to my spring wardrobe – it’s one of those great transitional pieces you can use to accessorize your winter wardrobe into warmer weather.

check out all of the styles (i warn you, tread lightly…not all are as stylish as these) at endless, where you’ll have the added benefit of (near) instant gratification!

what i want one of these days…

i am not a boot girl, or a heels girl, or a (gasp) athletic footwear girl. i may love them all in theory, but the reality is that i wear flats. every day, rain or shine, my go-to shoe is the ballet flat. however, now that i’m living in a much brisker climate, i think it’s time to admit that i may have to turn in my flats for the winter, in favor of something a touch more weather-friendly. but, as i’m also living in a much less fashion-forward climate, none of my heeled boots are going to do the trick either. so, i’m faced with the dilemma of purchasing potentially very expensive footwear that i know may never actually leave my house. but i want to give it a go.

what i want: these amazing taupe riding boots at barneys (left, $480) are calling my name oh-so-seductively…as are these equally stunning grey belted boots (center, $480) from coclico (the pics at shopbop are vastly superior, but the price is lower at piperlime, so they win).

what i bought: for now, i’ve taken the hubs’ advice, and picked up a pair that’s more budget-friendly (cough, cheaper, cough) to test my fashion flexibility. these cognac suede boots (right, $133 after discount) remind me a lot of the classic campus by frye, but at less than half the price (especially when you factor in the $25 discount AND the free vogue subscription with purchase promotions at endless right now). this way, if i manage to make the style work for me, well, it’s splurge-city, baby.

i’ll keep you posted on whether my attempt at a recession-friendly fashion decision paid off…
