Amina Muaddi Transparent Lupita Glass Heeled Sandals

I am Amina Muaddi’s #1 fan, and have loved collecting her fabulous shoes over the years. I was vying for these when they first released, and paid more than retail to get them sourced in time for my birthday a couple years ago. This is an amazing discount on the shoe that is a forever glass slipper classic, and will go with absolutely anything (I am amazed that these went on sale at all). Pair it with jeans and a graphic tee for an elevated casual look, or pair with a dress to transform into Cinderalla for the night. I personally think the ‘glass’ look is the new nude shoe.

Miaou Green Mara Corset

I originally got the matching green skirt, but the skirt does not fit well in my opinion, and has sort of a saggy look with no waist or shape to it. I had my eye on this corset for so long but was waiting for it to go on sale, and it finally did! It just arrived and fits so perfectly. I can’t wait to wear it during my next night out on the town! The black color is also ~$60 cheaper than normal price (not listed as sale), and is linked here.

Bond-Eye Minidress

I swear my clothing brand picks end up being Steve Jobs style where if I love one, I end up getting a bunch of that style or brand. I fell in love with Bond-Eye a little over a year ago, and have slowly but surely collected several bikinis from the brand. Once I saw dresses being released and included in the sale, I quickly snagged their black ‘Drew’ minidress (sadly sold out now). It just arrived and fits like a literal glove! I have the tie dye version linked which would be perfect for a tropical vacation or summer brunch outfit.

P.S. You can read about Bond-Eye’s sustainability mission here.

Wolford Tights

There are certain elevated basics I believe in investing in, and Wolford tights are at the top of that list. At normal price, they are quite expensive but the quality is so good and worth it. On sale, they are a literal steal and I would stock up on as many as you need!

Amina Muaddi Pink Dalida Platform Sandals

I got these during last year’s sale, and they are the perfect platform heel and so comfortable. Obviously the black satin and transparent Dalida’s are the current impossible to get colors (both on my wishlist), but I love the pink pop of color and they are so versatile!

Tom Ford Black Peep Toe Heels

Tom Ford is in my top 3 for favorite shoe brands, and I gasped when I saw these on sale. I love my disco platform heels, and these are just as magnificent. Unfortunately, I am not a gold hardware girl but I definitely recommend someone with that preference to snag these quick!

Coperni Transparent Mini Swipe Bag

I have been intrigued with Coperni ever since I saw Bella Hadid’s jaw-dropping spray-on dress moment. This viral bag is 50% off and truly looks like a work of art. I am not sure if I could pull it off, but this is definitely perfect for someone looking for a unique statement piece to add to their handbag collection. A wide selection of other Coperni bags are also on sale.

Anine Bing Khaki Quinn Blazer

Anine Bing to me is the better quality, modern All Saints. I got this blazer during one of Anine Bing’s sales and it is a closet staple. It is hard to find a good blazer in a color other than black, and Anine does it effortlessly. It is quite thick and oversized, and can even be worn as a dress (my go-to). This green khaki color is also a favorite of mine.

Anine Bing Black Tiger Sweatshirt

I am a big Anine Bing fan, so am adding another one of her items to the list. Her sweatshirts use the softest material, and I always love the different graphic prints. This is a fun tiger sweatshirt to add to your collection; whip it out when you are feeling fierce.

Nike Black & Gray Air Jordan Sneakers

If you love collecting Jordan’s, I would definitely mark your calendar for this sale every year to see if you can snag some great color combinations on sale. If you are unsuccessful, I like to buy mine from GOAT.

Agent Provocateur Black Ryan Thong

One of my favorite lines from Confessions of a Shopaholic is “Oh, underwear is a basic, human, right”. Indeed it is! This thong from Agent Provocateur is very high quality, fits perfectly, and has not unraveled in the 2+ years I have had it. A great quality undergarment at an even better price!

FRAME Blue ‘Le Original’ Jeans

Everyone has their favorite jeans, and these are mine. FRAME is my favorite denim brand, and these fit my 5’1 petite self/did not require alterations and do not have the crop flare that so many others do. I think the fit of these would look amazing on most heights!

GUIZIO Blue Fitted Corset

I am obsessed with Danielle Guizio, and love whenever something goes on sale from her brand. I am a big corset collector, and this is one of my favorites. I really do not think pictures do it justice, as you are able to cinch it and form the boning to your body just how you like it! This is a fun blue color perfect for day or night.
