Outfits at LOFT
I love the way they put outfits together at LOFT using their new arrivals -- gives me such great ideas for mixing & matching! I want this outfit from head to toe.
MNG by Mango at JCPenney
Click here to view the new MNG by Mango collection at JCPenney -- my personal favorite is this sleeveless print dress and this classic trench.

I totally pounced . . .
... on this dress yesterday.

50% off and the sizes are almost gone! Add to that the fact that they're offering free shipping site-wide FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR (no code necessary!) and it was just too good to pass up.
20% off at Famous Footwear

Me likey these (50% off!) western inspired boots -- would be perfect paired with a floral dress and a jean jacket or cardigan ... man, I love early fall :)

End of summer sale at Madewell
Madewell is having an end of summer sale right now, with discounts of up to 40% off. Right now I am loving long sleeveless sweater vests, perfect for fall layering -- and they have a couple in their sale section:
The legere ruffled vest -- I think the soft ruffles would be perfect against a structured menswear-ish shirt.
The sequin trim vest -- I can't decide whether I like it better in heather gray or blackberry :)

J.CrewOutlet.com?
Exciting news I saw on Racked this morning ... apparently J. Crew is putting its outlet store clothing online next month ... making it even easier to get their discounted goods.
I never thought I'd see the day.
20% off at DSW
Now through August 30th, you can take 20% off your online only purchase at DSW when you buy two or more items and enter code SAVE20 at checkout.
You might want to use it to pick up some new boots ... it's almost boot season after all :)
Free pant tailoring event at Ann Taylor
This Thursday August 26th at one of Ann Taylor's NYC stores (at 645 Madison Avenue), they're offering free tailoring when you purchase a pair of pants from their new collection, and taking $20 off all full-priced pairs just for trying them on. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
There will also be refreshments, styling tips, and fit experts on hand to help you find the perfect pair.
My money is on these ankle length skinny dress pants ... so very Audrey.

Glammy Night at Bare Escentuals

It's my birthday and I'll shop if I want to
Today is my birthday ... and what do I normally do on my birthday? Shop. Unfortunately, I've been trying to cut down on my shopping lately, in order to save money for our wedding. Completely boring.
Well, I figured I would do a little pretend shopping instead. Here's what I want for my birthday, in no particular order:
1) This Lilly dress -- I saw it in person over the weekend and now I want it.
(Image courtesy of Lilly Pulitzer)
2) This watch necklace -- love the Alice in Wonderland feel.

4) This LOFT coat -- I want this BADLY. So cute. It isn't even in stores yet -- saw it on Budget Babe's recap of the LOFT fall / holiday preview. Can't wait 'til it comes out.

5) Another bottle of Astoria Prosecco -- I fell in love with the name when I saw it at my friend's new wine shop.

New pants at Gap
Have you seen Gap's new line of pants?
I am really curious, partly because I stopped buying pants at Gap years ago, when it seemed like all they were making was extreme low rise. Momma needs a mid rise, please.
I would be interested in trying on their so-called perfect trousers, as well as the really skinny pants.
(Images courtesy of Gap)
Anyway, now through Sunday August 22nd, try them and get 20% off your online purchase with code SAVE20GAP or print this offer and bring it to the store.

The autumn champagne necklace
I'm kind of obsessed with this vintage-y looking necklace from Fred Flare, which is unfortunate because it isn't even available until the end of September. Boo.
(Image courtesy of Fred Flare)
Definitely a "lust-worthy statement piece" as they call it. I love the orange stone. And not too bad at $32.
K-Mart Design
I've already gotten a couple of my September magazines in the mail, and I've been trying to read / enjoy them slowly :) Well, I almost blew past this one ad, until I noticed that it was an ad from K-Mart. An ad with really chic-looking clothes in it.
Apparently they've launched something called "K-Mart Design" meaning that they've corralled a bunch of designers together to assemble a great fall collection ... which looks pretty darn cute from the looks of this Fall Fashion Preview on their new microsite.
Refinery29 also talks about it in their news section.

This necklace "rocks"
... get it? I love puns.
In all seriousness, I am digging this new necklace from Forever 21, which is under $7. Between the stones and the various metal chains, it's a great mix of textures.

30% off dresses at Ann Taylor

NYCR Picks from the August 2010 Magazines
I really can't wait for the September issues of my favorite magazines, but in the mean time, here's some retail goodness from the August issues to hold you over --
From People StyleWatch:
I love the mixed metals of this chain necklace -- gives it great texture. I could picture it with a simple white dress shirt. Looks much more expensive than its $34 price tag.
(Image courtesy of Piperlime)
I know this J. Crew jacket might seem a little pricey at $98, but I have a jacket like this and it's lasted me for several years. It's a great color, it's versatile, and it's a cut that won't go out of style.
(Image courtesy of J. Crew)
I love the vintage-y feel of this ruffle halter top -- the combination of the plaid and floral patterns makes it so unique.
(Image courtesy of The Limited)
I'm pretty obsessed with this color-block dress -- the black waistband is like a readymade belt to give you an hourglass figure ... love it!
(Image courtesy of Banana Republic)
From Lucky:
This polka dot printed blouse reminds me of something a ballerina would wear to a rehearsal -- feminine but with great structure.
(Image courtesy of White House Black Market)
This drape-y v-neck top is actually sold out at the moment, and with good reason -- it has a really nice grecian shape to it and looks like a perfect choice for a going out top.
(Image courtesy of Shock Boutique)
I was also very excited to read about the upcoming Temple St. Clair for Target line of jewelry that's coming this month.
(Image courtesy of Lucky)
From Glamour:
I love that they have Levi's at K-Mart for around $20 ... and this bootcut style is flattering on practically everyone.
(Image courtesy of K-Mart)
You Don't Know Jacque! is probably one of my new favorite colors from OPI. Perfect color for toes.

Sale on jeans at Old Navy
There's a pretty good jeans sale going on over at Old Navy -- now through August 19, adult jeans are all on sale, with prices starting at just $15.
I'm not really feeling the skinny jeans all that much anymore, but I do have my eye on these dark rinse trouser jeans. They're still a great staple at $34.

Boots under $100 at Piperlime
I am so excited thinking about fall and boot season ... love it. So, if you want to get a jump on picking out your new pair of fall boots, then check out Piperlime's gathering of boots under $100.
I'm pretty drawn to these motorcycle boots.
