Tory Burch has added lots of Fall items to the sale section this week. The Blossom T-Strap Flat is now on sale I absolutely love mine! I haven’t had a good black flat in a really long time and I’ve been wearing these every chance I get. If you want something more classic, the Ballet Flat is also on sale in the Port (Burgundy) color. Both will look really cute with they Ryder Dress, which is also on sale now. Check out how I styled that dress.

You can see my most recent Tory reviews here. I am going to check my store to see if the Silla Skirt in orange is there as well as the Thea Wallet Cross-body.


And the one thing I’m excited about from the latest arrivals is the Massey Silk Shirtdress. The color and print aren’t link any of my other Tory Burch shirtdresses so I’m excited to add that to my closet.

Anthropologie currently has a lot of Summer goodies on sale right now and they are offering an additional 25% off, no code needed. If you live in an area like I do, Fall won’t be here until November. There’s still time to wear these until that first cool breeze hits. Below are just a few things I found while perusing the sale items.


I tried the Eva Franco Ruffled Clipdot Dress on a few weeks ago, before it went on sale. It’s really cute IRL with a halter neckline, clipdot texture and swishy skirt. I felt it ran TTS and I have on a size 8. I can still wear this dress now and into the Fall with a blazer. Though my store had this in stock I knew I wouldn’t be able to go in this past weekend to buy it. I was able to order this on Friday with the 25% off and free shipping.

J.Crew has a new promo today with LOTSTOSHOP. You can take 20% off “wear now and later” items. There just a few new arrivals from the last roll-out included in this promo, including the lovely Sailor Skirt in Ponte and Tippi Sweater with Ruffles.

The Cuffed Sleeve Top and Carrie Cami are great layering pieces. I’m still waiting to try the Rayner Jean and hope it fits better than the Rayner Chino. I reviewed the Mountain Lake color. I have every color of the Cuffed Bermuda Short in Linen and wear them every chance I can. I really like the striped scarf below and both are from the men’s section. The Boy has the Chambray Shirt but I also owe him a few more since I turned two of his favorites pink. #laundryfail

I’m sitting out this sale. We’ve seen better percent-off for new arrivals in the past. The sale section is 40-60% off but also Final Sale.

Are you shopping this promo or waiting on something better?

I’m not seeing a whole lot of reviews for some of these items online, so if you’re looking at them, here are my thoughts and pics.

~ Collection Gingham Cardigan in Gauzy Cotton, Small ~

I couldn’t decide between the Tippi Sweater in Blue-Emerald Gingham or this Collection Cardigan. I should have chosen the Tippi sweater. I did not like this cardigan at all. It is over-sized so take a size down from your normal size. But that wasn’t the problem. The gauzy cotton material was…blech! I don’t have a word to describe it but I didn’t like the look or feel of the material. It was gauzy, maybe a little thicker than medical gauze. I think it may have been that this is not 100% Cotton but is blended with nylon. I like the gingham and I like the length but other than that, it was immediately returned.

~ Tippi Sweater, Berry Melange, Medium Petite ~

I’ve finally found my real Tippi size, Medium Petite. That size has the arms at 3/4 length and the overall length is a little shorter than the Medium I’ve been wearing. The color is very pretty IRL, with hints of blue/purple throughout. The Tippi Sweater and Tippi Sweater with Ruffles are both 20% off with code NEWCLOTHES.

~ Gazebo Pant in Market Stripe, size 8 ~

I have been stalking these ever since they showed up on the website. They sold out pretty quick, especially in my size. I wasn’t able to catch them again until they were on sale with a great promo. I haven’t worn them yet but they are really nice pants. A great linen with an almost chambray stripe look to them. I’m really happy I was able to finally snag them on a pop-back.

~ Sloan Gingham Leather D’Orsay Flats, size 6 1/2 ~

The flats are just adorable. I originally thought they were printed canvas, silk or cotton but they are printed leather. The colors are similar to the Tippi. I wear a 6 1/2 in the Sloan and these are no different in sizing, even with the all leather outer and inner lining. They did crease almost immediately, just from trying them on and walking around for a short time. I always put the little tissue back after wearing my shoes to smooth things like that out. If you prefer, there’s also the heel.

~ Mixed Gingham Sandal with Ankle Straps, size 7 ~

I really debated whether or not to get these fun looking shoes. I was very leery about the ankle strap and how to get them to stay tied without cutting off circulation to my feet. I’m so glad I decided to order them. They are really fun sandals and the colors all pop. The size 7 was perfect, making these TTS. I tied them with a bow slightly to the side and love the way it looks. Even though I have plenty of white bottoms to wear with these, I’m looking at a few white dresses to wear with them too.

Here are a few 40-60% off sale picks with code NEWCLOTHES.

I think I am pretty much done with shopping Spring and Summer sale items. What about you?

I always get excited when I receive my Anthropologie birthday discount. I used to just buy everything I wanted and then return some of it. The last few years, I’ve created a list, tried things on and then made my purchase, usually getting only a few items. Last year, I only purchased this mug, a replacement from one that was broken, and a few Capri Blue Volcano scent candles, with my discount. I did stop by the store last weekend and a few things caught my eye. Here are some items that made it to my birthday list.

At the top of my list is the Maeve Cirque Swing Dress. I saw it in store when it first arrived but has since sold out in-store and there are limited sizes online. But the more practical dress I’d wear often would be the Paleta Shirtdress.

Shoes are also always on my list. I still want a pair of the Taggart Booties and the only reason I haven’t bought a pair yet is that I can’t decide on a color. And I have been loving the cage style heels by Schutz so I’m really happy to see a version of them in wedges.

Of course if I wanted to splurge I would get this beautiful ball gown or this necklace. But sometimes you just need a stuffed sloth to make you happy!
