must-shop sample sales January 25 - on Gilt: Valentino Pret-a-Porter, David Lerner. on Refinery29 Reserve: exclusive early access to Allibelle bags, $50 off $100 Jeffrey Campbell Shoes, Leigh & Luca scarves for $99.

This jacket is by FAR my favorite Madewell piece – it was my first, and I think only full-price purchase (under $100) and I still love it. And I do apologize for teasing you, but it’s not available anymore…
I’m also wearing:
James Perse tube dress (my oldest JP piece – and quite possibly still my favorite)
James Perse leggings – THE BEST EVER
Swedish Hasbeens clogs
J crew belt
Cynthia Vincent bag – this arrived yesterday in anticipation for my trip to FL on Saturday. First, I have a problem: I seem to think I need something new every time I travel. Is anyone else like that? Second, I did need a new travel bag – well, I didn’t NEED one, but I wanted one. And Endless was (and still is) offering 40% off accessories over $200, so I took the plunge and got this bag. I always carry my laptop in my handbag on the plane, and then whatever bag I use is also my handbag when I arrive at my destination; so I needed a bag big enough for my computer, but still functional enough as a regular bag during my trip. And I loved the pattern on this one…

So, Endless.com is having a sale today only: 30% off select Miz Mooz shoes, and of course, I went to check it out. Honestly, I didn’t find much to love in the sale shoes – well, except this pair:

They’re very cute, and I can totally see someone rocking them, but not me…and then…I found THESE (which of course, are not on sale) – click on the image for more info.:



But they’re both around $100, and pretty cute, in my opinion (I really love the t-strap, and it comes in a gorgeous green color). What do you think? Have you tried Miz Mooz shoes? Thoughts?
Okay, so yesterday after I posted ISO the perfect ankle booties, I went ahead and ordered both pairs of Seychelles booties from Endless and they arrived about an hour ago (how cool is that?). I intended to only keep one pair, so I need your help choosing which you think works better on me – or if neither float your boat, that’s okay too. Honestly, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to find a pair of shoes to wear with skirts/dresses that I’m happy with – I’m just not liking my calves much right now…but I’m trying to give it a go.
First pair (mine are brown):


I’m wearing the first pair in these two outfits -

Second pair (mine are “clay” – which is kind of a grey/olive color):


I’m wearing the second pair in these three outfits…I think. I don’t remember now which pair is with the outift with the black dress! I think it might be the first pair….


Do you have a favorite pair of booties? Favorite outfit?
THANKS
