Gilt Gorjana Sale

I should’ve written about this sale sooner, but I was too caught up in agonizing which pieces to pick up myself. I think this sale is ending soon but since it’s no longer on the homepage, just search for “Gorjana” and you should still see all the goodies for at least another day. I was just telling someone today about Gorjana and how it’s one of my favorite jewelry brands, when I realized it actually IS my favorite brand, period. Their pieces are all so understated and elegant, yet still so eye-catching, on trend but not too trendy, and all in the perfect hue of brilliant gold. Plus the prices are affordable. Here are some pieces from the sale I’m coveting — let me know if you pick up any!

Gorjana Mesa Pendant Necklace & Gold Vista Long Pendant Necklace

Gorjana Mesa and Vista Pendant Necklace

These two are often paired together and I love that. The Mesa necklace reminds of the ever popular Madewell Arrowstack necklace, except it simplifies it with one solid gold color throughout, and instead of it hanging long, it dangles quite sexily right above the cusp of your cleavage. The Vista necklace dangles about 2 inches below it as a perfect, simple, classic complement. Each one is about 50% off right now. Get the Mesa Necklace here for $55 and the Vista Necklace here, also for $55.

Gorjana Chevron Pendant Necklace

Gorjana Chevron Lariat Necklace

I’ve been obsessed with this necklace for over a year. I love that it’s a long necklace but it’s so dainty, drawing the eye down until you finish off with an adorable mini chevron. It’s understated sexy. The only tricky part about a dainty long necklace like this is finding the right canvas to really showcase it and not have it be lost amongst a busy print other accessories. The way Courtney wears hers is absolute perfection. It’s currently only $39, down from the original $80. Buy buy buy!

Gorjana Super Star Lariat Necklace

This super star lariat necklace is simple adorable. Like other Gorjana’s lariat necklaces, it’s very dainty and leads to a cute finish, with the series of stars in decreasing size. The stars rest in the perfect location, helping to draw the eye down to the girls for an innocent, sexy look 😉 I’ve seen many pictures of bloggers wearing this beautiful necklace and no one does it better than Michelle from Catchingcouture.com. LOVE the pairing of the stars with the red, white and blue, showing us that you don’t need a low-cut top to show off a lariat. Get it here for just $39, down from $80.

Barney’s Warehouse Sale

I must have been living under a rock all this time because I just recently discovered the crazy amazing deal site that is Barney’s Warehouse. I guess like any other outlet, they sell any items leftover from the regular Barney’s stores, but unlike other outlets that offer flimsy 10% or 30% off deals, many of their deals are at 50-60% off! Yes, I know, time to shop! Here are some of my can’t-miss top picks:

3.1 Phillip Lim Ryder Satchel — $629 (40% off, originally $1,050)

3.1 Phillip Lim Ryder Satchel

I love the understated-ness of this bag design, yet it’s instantly recognizable to those in the know as a signature Phillip Lim bag. Also love that it’s a very practical bag, with lots of room for all your stuff and a handy shoulder strap to carry it all effortlessly. And last but not least, you guys know my love affair with this rich cognac color! It matches everything and immediately elevates any outfit. Even Miranda Kerr is a fan! Get it here for $629 (40% off!). Also love it in this gorgeous Wine/Oxblood color, also 40% off!

3.1 Phillip Lim Ryder Satchel

Barney’s Jessica Mini Bucket Bag — $119 (57% off, originally $280)

Barneys Jessica Mini bucket bag

Yes, apparently Barney’s now designs their own line of bags. Given bucket bags are all the rage these days, they certainly caught on to the trend with this beautiful Jessica bucket bag. Just look at that yummy pebble grain leather! Makes you just want to smoosh and smell it. Of course, let’s not forget it’s again in that gorgeous, rich cognac color, which is especially amazing with that touch of gold at the end of the tassels. Classic, modern, yet slightly blingy. If you’re interested in trying out the bucket bag trend, there’s no better bag to try it with than the Jessica, as this bag is classic enough to stay fashionable long after the current fad fades. Love it, especially at 57% off for only $119. Really great price for this beauty. Get it here! Also see it in Black here (also 57% off).

Barney’s India Mini Backpack — $149 (53% off, originally $315)

Barney's India Mini Backpack

I was initially drawn to this backpack because it looks so much like the Mansur Gavriel backpack everyone is fawning over. Except it’s only $149. After showing a few friends this bag, they all agree this bag stands on its own merits. The color is spot on, it has really clean, simple lines just like the Mansur Gavriel, and every piece of this bag — down to the straps — are made from super durable saffiano leather. Definitely worth a look. I guarantee all your friends will ask where you got this beauty from! Get it here for $149. Also see it in Black and Cobalt.

Barney’s Hannah Chain Wallet — $79 (52% off, originally $165)

Barney's Hannah Chain Wallet

Wallets-on-chain are also all the rage these days, and I completely get it. Big ass bags that weigh heavily on our quickly sore shoulders is not appealing; they may be “super cute” when you first walk out that door, but when your shoulders are in pain and you’re lugging 5 lbs around on a long day, you care as much about the cuteness as you do about getting rid of that anvil. I’ve been on a kick to find perfect crossbody bags that fit the basic necessities of my day — keys, iPhone, and a couple cards/cash. That’s all I need! Given WOC’s popularity lately, I love that I’m not alone. This little Hannah bag is perfect for this purpose. The size fits an iPhone 6 Plus perfectly, and it has 6 card slots built in, AND it’s made from that super durable saffiano leather. At under $80, what else can you ask for! Get it here. Also see it in Black and Red (LOVE the red too) for the same price (52% off!).
