We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July Holiday! We spent the weekend split between wine tasting in Wine Country and glamping in Santa Barbara, and we are still recovering from our over-indulgences in food and drink...

July is one of the best times of year for shopping, and the sales going on right now are awesome. This week we are bringing you a mix of classic staples, Summer favorites and even a more"Fall" feeling jacket (we do live in San Francisco after all)...all on Sale!

First up, this darling pair of gladiator style sandals. Simple, with clean and unfussy straps, these sandals offer the perfect amount of edge without trying too hard. They come in nude and black and are now only $75 (from $150). They look great with a flirty skirt, or denim shorts and are stylish enough to pair with ankle length denim and an off-the-shoulder blouse for date night.

A smocked waist, exposed shoulder and embroidered hemline make this dress your perfect Summer frock. Pair it with the sandals above and grab your cropped leather jacket for an ensemble that will take you from Brunch to a BBQ in style (P.S. it is $130 with all sizes left, for now)

Claire V is one of our go-to handbag brands, particularly for the oversized clutch...and we love this linen version in a powder blue. Crisp, classic and roomy enough for sunglasses, lipstick and your keys, this clutch has timeless appeal and an easy price tag (on sale for $82 from $165).

This is my favorite type of blouse...slightly romantic, a bit sexy and interesting without being overly noticeable (so you can wear it many times, styled in different ways). I love the pleated silk, the tassel tie detail and the ruffled neckline...and the front is just as ethereal and breezy as the back. Priced 40% off with all sizes left, this is a blouse you will wear now with denim shorts and gladiator sandals, and in the Fall layered under a tweed jacket with booties.

Citizens of Humanity denim are a great fit for a lot of people, and if you are one of them...these Avedon skinny jeans are the perfect "cropped" ankle length, have a good amount of stretch for a snug yet comfortable fit and the wash will take you from Summer right into Fall. At $138 with all sizes left, your cost per wear will be well worth it.

I know it's Summer in a lot of places, but it is overcast and cold in San Francisco (sigh) so this textured weave IRO Jacket is for all of you. A leather belt, roomy bracelet sleeves and an open collar make this jacket the perfect topper to skinny jeans and sneakers or try it with leather leggings and boots in the Fall. It is 60%OFF making it almost impossible not to purchase !

Okay, now back to clothing for the rest of the Country who get to enjoy sunshine in summertime. Our last Friday Buy Day pick is this darling gingham peplum blouse . Try it with white denim and ankle-tie sandals for a clean and classic look. Or I'd pair it with distressed denim shorts and white Superga high-tops for a more tomboy take. In the Fall, I love this with a black pencil skirt and leopard pumps for Back-to-School night, or try it with a fitted blazer, dark denim and smoking slippers. On sale for $79 with an ADDITIONAL 40% off using code SALETIME, buy your size today before it is gone.

Hope you enjoyed our favorite sale pick for this week. Happy Friday. Happy Weekend. Happy Shopping.

It's May Day. It's Friday. And it's my Birthday! So, I am particularly partial to this day.

First up, is this awesome M by Missoni bag that totally embodies Spring, Summer and a fun bohemian style. We have been wearing a lot of white on white, denim on denim and black on black lately and this is the perfect bag to add color and boldness to a monochromatic outfit. Marked down to $197, they probably won't last long. So if you've been looking for that perfect (petite) Summer bag, you've just found it.

I got a head start on Friday Buy Day, and already bought these darling crochet lace shorts. First things first, they are not THAT short in real life (unless you are quite tall). They look great with a denim blouse and ankle wrapped sandals (see below) or can be dressed up with an espadrille and a floaty cream blouse. At $59, they are an easy trend to indulge.

These sandals are great. Love the metallic silver color, love the linen texture, and love the chocolate leather piping and ankle-wrap. They are on-trend, while also maintaining a very classic feel. All sale items from J. Crew are currently an additional 30% off the lowest sale price using code May Day, so these sandals will ring in at just over $75. A total score.

This top by Equipment feels effortless and chic. Love the gingham pattern, the tied wait and the slightly sheer 100% cotton texture. It would look great with white denim, and the ankle-wrapped sandals above for a classic Spring ensemble. Or pair it with skorts (yes, I wrote skorts...we can get into that next week) and wedges for a fresh and feminine outfit.

Another year, another maxi. This one is $100 from $250 and is a really easy style with a great print. This type of dress is comfortable, stylish and a great packing companion as it takes up very little space in your suitcase, can be worn for day, or dressed up for an evening out. For day, you can belt it and pair it with your panama hat. You can also wear it loose and add a fitted denim jacket. For evening add a fun necklace and an orangey-red pout and head out for a margarita.

That's all for now. You can always comment and let us know what you want to find on your next Friday Buy Day...like some good Skort options(:

Have a great weekend!!
