Matthew Williamson, Vix Swimwear & The Perfect High Heels

Sorry for my weekend hiatus…I was basking in the sun in Arizona. Now back to reality (which in Chicago is cold, sometimes rain, and always partly cloudy).

The one thing getting me through the week? These amazing sales on Gilt of course! Whether you’re looking for a new pair of shoes, swimsuits for summer, or a new multicolor printed maxi (huge for Spring by the way), Gilt has got you covered.

Vix Swimwear (3/29)– You worked on your bikini bod all winter; now, show it off. Go from pool to party in the versatile, curve-conscious swimsuits, chic cover-ups and vibrant sundresses that rule this collection inspired by the world’s most glamorous beachgoers.

Matthew Williamson (3/30)- These flowered, wispy dresses are detailed with geometric shapes in both subtle and statement-making ways. Pastel pieces are amplified with ruching and intricate beading, which imbues them with a hard, futuristic edge. Rounding it the collection is a complimentary selection of structured jackets in neutrals and muted colors.

The High Heel (3/30)- “I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” So spoke sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, and it’s hard to disagree when you see the sky-high stunners on this Gilt sale. From the classic silhouettes to bolder, adorned styles, these high heels will add a kick to all your wardrobe favorites this season.

Foley &  Corinna (3/31) – Foley + Corinna has emerged as a downtown label with New York’s most wanted bags. Part vintage and part modern, these sumptuous leather satchels standout with their own brand of chic yet playful design. Their classic style bag is perfect because you can wear it folded over with a shoulder strap or carry it by the handle…it will be your go-to bag for any season.

Current/Elliott (4/1)– Is there such a thing as owning too many pairs of jeans? Not when designers keep coming up with styles as compelling as these. The skinny jeans have the ideal bunch at the hems, boyfriend jeans sit at just the right spot on the hips, and jeggings come in several styles—including cropped, with an of-the-moment high waist.

Missoni Accessories, Wrap Bracelets & Laura Mercier Beauty

There’s such a variety of sales happening this week on Gilt, you do not want to miss out. From accessories and luggage to wardrobe essentials and beauty, there is something for everyone. I picked my top five to share with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I will!

American Apparel (3/22)–This street-chic megabrand continues its winning formula of adding attitude to simple basics. Lightweight jersey tops, sheer tanks, leggings, and dresses beg to be mixed and matched, dressed up and down, and played with in a hundred different ways. These wardrobe staples are key for any season.

Missoni Accessories (3/22)–Missoni’s eye-popping patterns never fail to make a big style impact…which is why the brand has been one of my favorites to wear for years. Pick up some knit scarves, ponchos, and hats in Missoni’s signature multicolor zigzags and stripes. Everyone can use a little Missoni 🙂

Chan Luu Jewelry (3/23)– It’s the accessories that can take even the most basic outfits to the next level, and Chan Luu’s jewelry does just that. Add a distinctly free-spirited touch to your getup with these multi-pendant necklaces and multi-row wrap bracelets crafted from beads and leather. I like to wear at least two at a time for a subtle statement. And with Gilt’s amazing prices, it’s easy!

Laura Mercier (3/23)– These color palettes for lips and eyes are blended into just-right shades, while dual-use pots deliver luminous, subtle highlights and mineral powders deliver a flawless finish. Also on offer, travel skincare treatments and brush sets that can get you ready for your close-up anywhere and anytime. And my favorite? Candles and bath sets scented with coconut milk and almond to complete the Laura Mercier luxury experience.

Accessories Final Sale (3/25)– Vibrant colors and bold silhouettes are at the heart of this selection of pumps, sandals, and boots. Look for zipper details, beading, thigh-high suede, and plenty of rich hues, from purple snakeskin to color-blocked patent leather. You know what final sale means? Up to 70% off! So don’t miss out.
