Saks OFF 5th

Today I went to heaven...and by heaven I mean Paramus, New Jersey to the Saks OFF 5th Store. When I got the invite to experience the new saksoff5th.com website and visit the store...I jumped at the opportunity. Even though it meant a 6:30 a.m. wakeup call. It was well worth it. So today I boarded a bus with other fashion enthusiast and tastemakers and we were whisked over the George Washington Bridge and into New Jersey (where the magic outlets happen).

As of Monday September 30th, saksoff5th.com has been in full swing offering designer duds (think Rebecca Minkoff, Manolo Blahnik, Zac Posen, Nicholas Kirkwood), for up to 55% off YEAR ROUND!!! The site itself is a breeze to use with new arrivals added daily and FashionFix Flash Sales featuring a notable designer every 48 hours. Now that's fast designer fashion!

I suggest you take FULL advantage of the Saks OFF 5th More! Program. It's a free membership...yes FREE, in which you can get additional savings (on top of the already deeply discounted prices) in store and online. WOOT WOOT. I am already trying to work out how in the heck I can get back to New Jersey! At times like these I wish I had a car but at least I can still pick up these fabulous Stuart Weitzman Over the Knee boots I've been eyeing for 40% off online.

We were treated to a lovely breakfast and then given the go ahead to run wild and free in the Saks OFF 5th store. If the website gives you a clean, modern, easy to navigate feel than you will love the actual store. Of course I made a bee-line straight for the shoes.

 

You will die. I died a little and then came back to life when I tried on THEE "Woman's Right to Shoes" Manolo Blahnik's that Carrie Bradshaw wore and then lost (at a party because there were no shoes allowed) and then had her friend rebuy for her. It was my first time trying on Manolo's and they looked damned good and on sale too. I cannot deal.

 

Thus...my new favorite website for designer deals.... saksoff5th.com.

Check it out, you will NOT be disappointed.

A very SEQUIN New Years

So last night was the "Sequins and Southern Hospitality" party that my friends and I threw.

It was a hit. I had such a great time. I did the stanky leg, I dropped it low and did some form of the electric slide all while eating a cookie and drinking a glass (or two or four) of moscato.

It's a dream I didn't wake up today with a huge headache!

Well its 2012 and it's a gorgeous day in NYC.

I'm going to cook myself a New Years dinner tonight and get to work on my inspiration board.

But guess what????? All I can think about is that Fashion Week is a month and a half away!

Outfit
Dress: Aidan Mattox via Saks
Shoes: YSL Opyum via Saks see them worn differently HERE
Earrings: H&M a fashion STEELE at $6
Bag: Forever 21

The dress and heels both were bought with the $2000 gift certificate I won during the
Saks and Stylelist Competition.
I got so many compliments on this dress. I love it so much. It is my favorite color too! I think I will get a lot of mileage out of this sequin stunner.
I hope everyone had a ROCKIN NEW YEARS EVE!
I know I did! I actually wore these same earrings last New Years Eve.

Check out my YouTube channel to see a quick video of the outfit in motion!

CAPETOWN

i'm not really a cape person but when I saw this Eileen Fisher cape at Saks I knew it would

be perfect for Fall and Winter.

This cape is one of my buys that I got when I won the Stylelist and Saks competition.

this cape is super soft and warm and the hood is an added bonus.

Outfit

Shirt: H&M

Shorts: Levi's get a similar pair HERE, HERE and HERE for under $20

OpaqueTights: American Apparel get a similar pair HERE

Boots: Pelle Moda via Loehmanns

Cape: Eileen Fisher

Sunnies: Ray Ban

Lipstick: Sephora Brand

I like how the cape is long enough it can almost be worn like a dress so wearing the cutoff shorts underneath was my first thought. I told yall I wouldn't be putting away

 my cutoff shorts for Fall..lol

If you love capes check out this one and this one!

The weather has been really nice these past few days in NYC but I am HATING how HOT it is in my apartment. It's atleast 80 degrees thanks to the radiators killing me. I currently have all of my windows open and a fan blowing on me. Prime "GET YOU SICK" type of weather.

So I won a $2000 gift certificate to Saks by entering the Stylelist designer challenge!

So I got my card and I hit Saks 5th Ave!

These are a some of my buys!

You all can't see me but I am doing a serious

HAPPY DANCE
