ANN TAYLOR LOFT 50% OFF TOP PICKS

Hi everyone :)  Sorry I've been MIA.  Having 7 ICU downgrades, being on night call for a week, and Q4 day calls, plus studying for my intraining exam has taken up so much time that I'd had no time to blog.  I did have a day off yesterday so I dropped by Loft and found out they were having a 50% off everything sale.  YAY!  What a lovely surprise.  Simply click on the picture and it will lead to the the loft link.  (ALL MINE is the code online or simply drop in store and they will give you an automatic 50% off your full purchase)  I don't know why but the in store prices are cheaper than online prices.  I've gotten every piece below in store for $5- $25 max.  All jewelry I purchased were $6-$10.  The belt was a bit of a splurge.  But, for $20, I really love the jewelry belt.  It's stretchy so I can use it on on the waist or hip.  This belt is a great addition over a dress, a cardigan, or jeans!  I will post pics of how I mix and match these pieces for work and casual outings :)  My ICU rotation will end in the end of November and hopefully I will have a real weekend off and shoot from blog photos!

                              

                              

                              

I know I have a Kate Spade obsession.  And if you followed me in the past, you will know that I LOVE boar skin leather.  Here is a bag I've been eyeing.  A senior of mine have the same bag and she bought it for $100 in an outlet in Vegas. Girls, this bag is $485 in Nordstrom so if you have a chance and happen to be in Vegas, check out the Kate Spade outlet.  Here is THE bag :)

Strangely, the quilted bag is 50% off in store but full price online.  Nordstrom is having a price matching event.  So check out their bags ^.^

                                  If you get lucky, this bag is 50% off at my local Nordstrom!

I love a classic bore skin bag.  The texture is classic, it's structured, great for work or casual outings.  If I go to Vegas, I'm definitely going to hit the Kate Spade outlet and get one of these totes :)

Happy shopping!

FASHION FOR LESS SERIES: THE BURBERRY & BANANA REPUBLIC TRENCH

The Burberry Trench coat has always been something I've wanted.  But, not only does it cost a lot, it's hard to find one that would fit me because I'm that tiny.  I really like the Burberry's wool trench coat with frilled hem worn by Kate Middleton.  That hem really gives it a feminine touch. You may wonder, how on Earth did this $1352 Trench coat end up in this fashion for less blog.  Well, they went on sale for $947 in Lyst.  Of course, it sold out in a heart beat.  Here's an even cheaper alternative, the Banana Republic Flare Trench.  Petite girls, we are in luck.  Banana Republic did a really good job on this jacket to fit petites like a glove!  And brownie points to getting it 50% off!

Banana Republic Flared Trench in xxsp, $225

I bought it for $112.50 with 50% off ( promo code BR10, expires 3/11/14)

in case it doesn't work, 40% off with BR card (promo code March, expires 3/4/14)

Kate Spade Airel Cove Street, (Orig. 478.00) $125 at 75% off Kate Spade Secret Sale Event (similar)

extra 15% off Kate Spade if you sign up for their email list (it's a stackable coupon code!)

A lot of people said the belt was too long on the reviews so I wanted to show you how long it really is!  But, I like it this long because it allows me to tie a bow in the front when I button up the jacket and in the back when I keep the jacket open.

I really love this Kate Spade bag.  It is extremely functional and light weight.  It carries my laptop, and whatever I buy when I go shopping so I don't need to carry an extra recyclable shopping bag or pay extra for a bag.  It has three compartments (just like this bag) and the material is perfect for me because it's hard to scratch.  My bags tend to hit things around me and they tend to leave a mark when it's the boarskin leather material that I absolutely adore.  But, this bag probably have hit doors, cars, shelves, hangers, and not a single sign of use.  LOVE!

Love San Francisco, Union Square

Here is the Burberry wool frilled trim coat!  It has not sold out yet in Neiman Marcus ^.^

YAY to my partner in crime that took these photos for me :) I appreciate his time and effort more and more everyday~
