Summer sales!

It's the time of the year when fashion lovers all over the world are rushing to the stores to swipe their credit cards with fury; when online shoppers are glued to their computer screens waiting for that sale alert to light up the screen and start racing towards the check-out button; when monthly budgets get thrown out of the window and coveted items find new homes. Yes, the glorified summer sales are finally here! Unfortunately for yours truly, the reductions are nowhere near low enough for a purchase to be justified but that doesn't mean that others can't profit from the various discounts! And to enable people even more, I've compiled the collage shown below with a few items that I consider absolutely worthwhile in their reduced price. 


Firstly, we have a Victoria by Victoria Beckham dress that is as cute as a button, and would be ideal for a summer evening with a pair of black brogues or ballet flats (or even better, with those gorgeous Charlotte Olympia kitty shoes).

I don't think the second item needs any introductions, as it's a classic Rick Owens biker-style leather jacket that may be exorbitantly expensive but I believe would be worth every penny because it's highly versatile, has a classic shape and its quality promises longevity of wear.

Then we have Mulberry's Bryn (large size), which can be worn for work, or cross-body for a more sporty appearance with a shirt and a pair of boyfriend jeans.

The following item is one I would buy in an instance if I were able to afford it: it's a pair of blush coloured Chloe sneakers which would entice even the most hard-core sneaker haters as they are absolutely beautiful.

The fifth item is a pretty and flow-y summer dress by Acne. It looks very light and the shape reminds me a little of 1920s dresses which have gained popularity recently due to the release of the Great Gatsby film. In true 1920s style, I'd wear it with a long beaded necklace.

Finally we have a bag that was also featured in my favourite Spring/Summer bags post, a bright yellow Proenza Schouler clutch that makes me happy just by looking at it!

I hope you liked my sales picks and if you managed to grab something in the sales, please share in the comments below - I love to hear about a good bargain! Happy shopping!!!
