50



Kain silk tank, T by Alexander Wang top, T by Alexander Wang jumper, Aubin & Wills blazer, Miu Miu sandals, A.P.C tote bag, Alice & Olivia skirt, Karl shorts, Isabel Marant Sandals

Net-a-Porter wishlist. I always look forward to receiving that email from Net-a-Porter, letting me know that their twice-yearly sale has begun. It generally involves me quickly opening the site in another tab to see if anything in my wishlist is on sale, and at a slightly more wallet-friendly price.

I managed to pick up a couple of things, one of which is this slouchy black jumper from T by Alexander Wang, which I've had my eye on for a wee while. If I had the cash to splurge, I'd probably pick up some of the above items on my wishlist, as I imagine the Alice + Olivia metallic skirt would be perfect for a night on the town paired with a simple silk tank by Kain and a pair of strappy Miu Miu heels. For a more casual look, I love the idea of this Aubin and Wills blazer, worn with a slouchy T by Alexander Wang linen top, Karl sequined shorts, Isabel Marant Merry sandals and an A.P.C cotton tote bag slung over the shoulder. And the best thing about these pieces? The large number of potential combinations since the colour scheme is that good. Guess it's a good thing that dreams are free!

  5. Love this colour scheme. The glitter/ sequins particularly add to it, not something I would have thought of, but I really like the way it makes the basics a bit more special.

    I have seen that the new Karen Walker is up for pre-order on Maximillia. Not a huge fan of anything though.

  10. Wow I almost ALMOST purchased up a storm here. Mostly items that I didn't need but I find sales hard to resits! But I held back! I've written myself a list of what I actually want and will fit into my wardrobe, and I plan on sticking to it!

    I really do love that T by AW jumper you purchased! I may end up kicking myself when I see it on your blog...

  19. I was so glad to read your post. It made me feel better about my shopping habits! I suffer exactly the same dilemma as you. I really justify the purchases when it comes to Netaporter's sales. Kind of like its a reward 'for waiting' for the sale, so I deserve to get them :) Whatever helps me sleep at night right! Enjoy the sales...
