Bright Handbags, Pucci Prints & Oscars Fashion

There are so many great sales happening this week on Gilt…you are going to have a fabulous shopping-filled week! The best part is, all of these items are 50%-70% off retail price, so you don’t have to feel guilty (or shall I say Gilty? Oh yeah I went there)

Check out my favorite sales happening this week on Gilt…

Marc by Marc Jacobs (2/23)–Shop this collection of stylish, perfect-for-layering separates in bright, unexpected colors with a current take on the “retro” aesthetic. Pick up a blazer and some shorts for an on-trend transition-to-Spring look.

Emilio Pucci (2/24)– This assortment includes separates for day, like embellished wrap dresses and belted jersey tops. Find that a little Pucci goes a long way, in the form of a shift adorned only at the elbows, or that a more-is-more attitude works best, evidenced by a floor-length silk chiffon stunner covered entirely in vivid, colorful swirls.

Chi City Closet: Proenza Schouler Curved Wedge Sandals

I have been obsessing over these Proenza Schouler wedges ever since I saw them on the runway. As part of their Spring 2010 collection, shown over a year ago, I knew they had to have these wedges no matter what.  Although I originally wanted the neon version, I found out after much research those were never made into production for sale.

Thankfully I found the black and white version (and on sale on The Outnet!) and I had to buy them immediately. Although I can’t wear them right now due to the mountains of snow we have in Chicago, they will be the first shoes I wear once Spring hits!
