Striking a pose w/ Vente-Privee USA



I had the pleasure of visiting the offices of Vente-Privee in Manhattan for a fun photo shoot to feature some of their upcoming sales.  Bloggers had to come up with a summer look with brands like Victoria Beckham, Maje, and Sandro Mandarine.  These are just some of the amazing labels sold on Vente-Privee. 
 
When we arrived at the offices they had champagne, fruit, cupcakes!  Such a fun set up!
 
 
 
Vente-Privee (which is French for “private sale”) was founded in Paris in 2001 and is the premiere online destination for great savings on premium brands. It offers members limited-time sales events featuring over 2,500 prestigious brands at discounts from 50-70% off.  After ten tears of incredible growth across Europe, vente-privee further expanded its presence in 2011 and introduced its exciting online shopping universe to the US market. Today, the site has more than 21 million members across eight countries in Europe, and vente-privee is excited to see the success continue to travel across the US. Voted for the fifth year in a row as the preferred fashion retailer by French consumers, vente-privee’s beautiful, seamless shopping experience brings a French touch to ecommerce in the States.

As soon as I walked in and saw the clothes rack, my eyes went straight to this Sandro Manderine Ravaguese dress.  I swear it was the first dress on the rack and the first one I grabbed.  I just loved the color and the white trim on the sleeve.  I felt retro, like I was in a girl group in the 60's!  :) 
 

 
 
This dress is available for sale starting today through Friday.  It retails for $320 but available on Vente-Privee for $112!  That's more than half off!    I'm a big fan of these private sales because you can get amazing pieces at great prices.  All you have to do is sign up (here) and you'll receive daily deals!  It's that easy!

Wild Chevron










Dress: Hautelook
Wedges: Simply Vera Wang
Chevron necklace: c/o Wild Butterfly Boutique



Oh hey Monday!  Hope you all had an awesome weekend!  I was given the choice of 2 pieces from Wild Butterfly Boutique and my second pick was this super cute chevron necklace.  I LOVE the chevron print and I think this necklace is so whimsical!  I wore it with this floral dress for dinner with the hubby.  Even though summer is slipping by, florals are still huge for fall!  Ughhhh......every time I say fall, I cry a little.

Have a good day peeps!

Heat Wave


Monday.....you SUCK!
After a nice long weekend here we are back on the grind!  Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and long weekend!  What do you wear when it's been 90 degrees and humid for over a week now?  NOTHING!  No really.....it's been so f'n HOT!  When it's this hot out, I LOVE a good cotton summer dress!  Not too fussy but still cute!







Dress: Xhiliration (Target)
Clutch: Loop
Sandals: H & M
Sunnies: XSRE


Too much jewelry is no bueno on hot days, I kept it simple with my diamond necklace and a few bracelets.  As you can see, I lightened my hair for summer.  I like it, but I haven't been this light in soooo long!  It's definitely going to take some getting usto!

How are you fashionistas staying cool? 

Thanks for visiting!
