If you have watched any TV, gotten on the Internet or spoken to anyone in the last week or so I’m sure you know how hard hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast. The extent of my current events knowledge rarely surpasses E! News but even I have been tuning into CNN and other news channels every day since.
Target’s latest designer collaboration has been announced! On December 1st, you will be able to shop 24 of America’s favorite designers (who happen to be CFDA members) through the latest collaboration of Neiman Marcus and Target. The coolest part about this collection (besides the fact that it’s 24 designers) is that it will be sold both in Target and Neiman Marcus stores PLUS on target.com and neimanmarcus.com.
Starting today at 11am ct, Gilt is featuring the first ever Brian Atwood sale on their site! This sale will feature both shoes and handbags (including the one I wore to the Swarovski event) in a variety of colors and styles. Brian is hot, his shoes are awesome so this is one sale you do not want to miss.
Here’s a sneak preview…
Maniac pump (original price $593, Gilt price $299)
Handbags starting at $629
There will be tons more so click here for instant access to the sale and be sure to tweet me what you buy. I’d love to see!
With pretty much everyone having a major sale right now (most of which are in the process of winding down…so get those purchases in), it can be overwhelming. To me, the most exciting sales to shop are the high end designer sales because let’s be honest…nothing feels better than scoring those Atwoods you’ve had your eye on at half off (or more). So I scoured my favorite luxury site Net-a-Porter to find you the best sale shoes, jewelry and handbags under $250.

I recently received a lovely package from Skirt PR that I absolutely could not wait to open…
It’s a gorgeous Brian Atwood clutch from his new line of handbags, sold exclusively on Gilt!
So when I was getting ready for the Swarovski event Tuesday night, I knew I’d be basing my outfit around this amazing bag. All black. Colorful accessories. But nothing to take away from the clutch. So here it goes…
Top: Kova & T. Pants: Rag & Bone. Shoes: Proena Schouler. Cuff: Alexis Bittar. Other Bracelets: Stella McCartney, Chan Luu, Dannijo, Nina Nguyen. Rings: Cartier, Dana Rebecca, Avanessi, Gucci.
So off to Swarovski I go! This event was to celebrate the unveiling of an exclusive window installation created by students of the Fashion Body & Garment Master’s Program, mentored by Nick Cave, of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
How awesome are the windows?!
It’s not a Chicago fashion event without running into Amy of Chicago Street Style!
Loving the Brian Atwood clutch on this sweet Swarovski ottoman!
