Camilla Skovgaard, Judith Leiber & Shop For Japan

April is Earth Month and if you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon of saving the environment, why not save some money by shopping Gilt Groupe? Get all these fabulous designer pieces at 50-70% off retail price. All you have to do is JOIN NOW and the rest is up to you…

Here’s a list of my favorite sales happening this week on Gilt…

Camilla Skovgaard (4/12)- You will love these fashion forward stilettos. The well-heeled options in this sale range from peep-toe to gold T-straps to python saddle sandals. Feeling more grounded? The metallic strappy flats are just as stylish as their sky-high counterparts.

Judith Leiber (4/13)– Tiny purses or oversize jewelry boxes? That’s the inevitable question Judith Leiber evening bags raise. Gleaming with meticulously applied crystals, these clutches are recognized in fashionable circles the world over. Even sunglasses receive the Judith Leiber treatment with exquisite sparkle.

Pour la Victoire (4/13)– Take your style to new heights with shoes and boots from a European-inspired label that has an array of colors and silhouettes to fit your every need. Extra-tall boots make gems appear long and lean, while shorter booties—offering teetering heels and intriguing details—are a chic pick for your skinny jeans and skirts.

Cynthia Steffe (4/15)– Minimal and ultra-femme usually don’t go hand in hand, but Cynthia Steffe toes the line expertly with these elegant designs. Here, look for coquettish designs accented with a pleat detail here, a cascading ruffle there—unique enough to draw appreciative glances but subtle enough to keep the focus on you.

Shop For Japan (4/16)- Shop this season’s latest trends and 100% of the purchase will be donated to Global Giving for Japan. Gilt has collaborated with some of the hottest labels – think Helmut Lang and Elizabeth & James – to create the Shop For Japan sale. The sale features this season’s best looks and 100% of the purchase price will go to Global Giving for Japan because all the looks were donated by the designers themselves!

Currently Obsessing Over: Impracticality

Ever catch yourself saying “that’s a really great piece but it’s so impractical” or “I love it but I don’t know what I’d wear it with?” Well, that’s not the attitude I take towards these things. I like to think of it as a creative project instead.

If you love something, who cares if it’s “impractical”…rock it anyway! It can be fun to add a random unexpected piece to your outfit. Here are the most unique and “impractical” items I am currently obsessing over…
