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.

Remember, these sales are for Gilt members only. So JOIN NOW and get shopping!
