Not only does Gilt offer great contests, fashion news, and style tips…they of course have some of the best sales you can find online! Check out my favorite sales happening this week.
Zac Posen (2/28)- Zac’s designs are a versatile mix of sophistication and strength. Ruffled silk and pleating showcase bold color choices like citrine yellow and cerulean blue. And curve-hugging fits spice up classic necklines on knit frocks and sheaths.
Tibi (3/1)– High contrast means high style with this pared-down assortment from Tibi. Choose among chic, black and gray separates, like shift dresses, tweed jackets, and cropped pants, or pops of color, like the silk blouses and dresses.
Vintage Rolex (3/2)- A timepiece from this venerable watchmaker is as big a fashion investment as it is a personal asset. Relive the high styles of decades past with this luxurious women’s range, some featuring gold bands and diamond bezels.
Kenneth Jay Lane Jewelry (3/2)– In his 40-year career, jewelry designer Kenneth Jay Lane’s couture baubles have been worn by everyone from the Olsen twins and Madonna to Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. For wild arm candy, look to the double tiger bracelet with crystal accents.
