want of the day from the prepster in me

just had to share tory burch's new reva winter accessories. the prepster in me REALLY wants them. maybe because i seem to be obsessed with all things black and white?

the lattice collection isn't too shabby either. hat is below...want want want.

why do i have so many posts about shoes?

i've been obsessed with tory burch's julianne wedges since i came across the brown ones a loooong time ago. well, i saw this morning that the they're currently on sale on toryburch.com. they come in black, gold and anthracite - as i type, they have all of the gold sizes but they're running low on the black and anthracite sizes. i haven't seen the gold in person but i think they're pretty awesome from what i've seen online!

originally $295, they're on sale for $177 - but with code SALE25 they're only $135! that's better pricing than i saw at the tory sample sale a few weeks ago! i am officially banned from buying any shoes for at least a few weeks and don't think i can put into words how hard it is to keep my puny little finger away from the "buy" button on the checkout page. if they had brown ones on sale there'd be no stopping me.

five hours later...a bach ache, sunburn and a tory tunic

gasp! i almost forgot to post about my new tory tunic. kate, christy and i decided to hit up the tory burch sample sale last sunday. not even thinking, we got there half an hour before it opened only to find we were "late" and at the end of the line to get in -- AN AVENUE away from the entrance. after the first hour we thought we were almost there. after the second hour we were still hopeful. 3 hours later we could still barely see the entrance but we COULD NOT let the line beat us. natch, the sale was pretty picked over by the time we got in after 4.5 hours and it totally wasn't worth the waste of a beautiful pool day...but i did get a navy and white tory tunic for $85 marked down from $275. kate and christy both got one too, so i guess the sale wasn't a TOTAL waste.

if you're interested in sample sales, this place hosts them often for brands like j.crew and theory.
