Gilty Shopping

November 8, 2011 By Elina 8 Comments

Ok – I want to get this out in the open. I work at Gilt Groupe, a flash sale fashion monolith, based in New York. This means I have my finger on the trigger when hot designer items find their way into a roughly 40% off members-only stash on Gilt.com. Along the way, I’ll be sharing my recent well-thought-out purchases and rash impulse buys. Feel free to let me know if I’ve made a fashion faux pas or stumbled upon a once-in-a-blue-moon steal.

Below you’ll scout the latest of Gilt’s flash sale treasures, starting with a Rosegold Nicky Booty in black (these pretty much look like my Colonial Madness boots from two or three seasons ago except with different bells and whistles; I can’t help it, I like what I like).

I also snagged a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs Super Stretch Denim Leggings, which might turn out to be a fashion faux pas, if I don’t start doing my Bar Method workout DVDs more regularly.
And, last but not least, an angelic Line & Dot fur vest with a hood – super steal! Still working on the right outfit that pins these three together. One thing’s for sure, unless I run away to the circus strip club to turn my lifelong dream into go-go dancer reality, I’m going to need a top to finish the outfit. Let the shopping begin!

Long Weekend Aspirations

June 30, 2011 By Elizabeth 3 Comments

I am desperately in need of a proper long weekend, a long weekend of Summer; of lounging about, road trips, oysters and lobster rolls, summer braids, cocktails, florals, sunglasses, and everything else that makes June through August so special. With fireworks lighting the July 4th sky, this long weekend will be especially magical. I’m looking forward to blueberry cocktails, fishtail braids, pretty wedges, wearing sunglasses all weekend, road trip snacks, and sparklers, tons and tons of sparklers.

Primary Pastels, 80%20 Shoes

June 17, 2011 By Elizabeth 4 Comments

I’ve been trying not to shop, but when a deal as good as this one comes along, you have to make an exception. The Bonnie shoe, from 80%20 is a washed canvas and marble cork shoe with leather trim. Ranging in the already reasonable price range of 80-110 dollars, I spotted the shoe on sale on Gilt for more than half off. Unable to decide between colours, I bought the shoe in Brick and Khaki, perfect shades of khaki/olive/army green and muted easter/pastel pink..

The Bonnie shoe comes from 80%20 ‘s 2011 spring line, which they say was inspired by the “surfer in the city”. I’ve never owned any 80%20 shoes before, but so far, they’re pretty comfortable. They definitely feel really light and airy and summery, so I see the surfer inspiration. And the peep toes? Just adding to the overall summer perfection.

I’ll be rocking the pink babies at this weekend’s Mermaid Parade. Anyone else going?
