Okay! Here’s a sneak peek of some of my favorite products from the sale. ☺️
I tried on all the Barbour coats, and this one, by far, is my favorite! It features a similar cut to the classic Beadnell, but it has a beautiful floral lining that provides extra warmth and coziness, which is something the original does not have! I LOVE it. My biggest complaint with the classic Beadnell is that it isn’t the warmest. But so excited that I’ll be able to wear this one throughout the entirety of the fall!
If you’re planning on buying this coat tomorrow, note that it runs a little small. I’m wearing a U.S. 4 here (which is my normal Barbour size), but I think if there had been a U.S. 6 available, I would have gone with that.
The Anniversary Sale is the perfect time to stock up on staples–versatile pieces that you can mix and match and wear throughout most seasons! And this top fits that bill. Wear it to work; wear on the weekend; wear it with pants; wear it with skirts. It’ll never go out of style and the flowy cut will be super flattering on anyone!
LOVE. Definitely my favorite Tory Burch product included in the sale. I totally took these home with me yesterday. They’re very, very comfortable, and they’re not too tight on the toes, meaning zero risk of blisters. They run totally TTS, too. You’ll see me wearing them in most of my try-on photos tomorrow!
(Btw: The sandal is available in black, too… and there’s a flat sandal version as well!)
The look of a blazer with the coziness of a sweater. It’s a winner, and this color is gorgeous. (I’d pair it with stripes!)
I was so happy to see that a classic Tory Burch leather tote is included this year! This is a great work or everyday bag, and one that you’ll have for years. It comes in blush pink and black, too.
The classic Tory Burch riding boots are back! These look super similar to the pair that went viral on Pinterest a few years ago, so that’s fun. They’re also such a deal. I always go a half size up in Tory Burch boots.
I might like these even more, though. ;) I’m a HUGE Cole Haan fan because of the comfort factor, and like that there isn’t a huge label on these boots.
My favorite Kate Spade product from this year’s sale.
Love this Barbour, too! You could also wear it in the spring and summer because of the color.
Tried this on and wore it in most of my dressing room photos. It runs BIG. I wore an XXS and I usually like my tops/sweaters in small/medium sizes!
A classic blazer.
A versatile navy dress, perfect for work, events, or nights out.
Another great find from Cole Haan. The wedge makes it SUPER comfy. There’s also a “flat” version, which I love.
These boots are in my cart! I love that they’re a little taller so you can tuck your jeans into them. I hate cold ankles.
So pretty. Take me back to New England.
Earrings that can be dressed up or down.
Favorite watch from the sale. The links are spades!
THEY’RE BACK! They’re going to sell out quickly so grab them in your size if you’re interested in owning the best pair of designer jeans ever. SO GOOD. I wear my normal size in designer jeans in these, so I’d say that they run TTS. But order two sizes if you’re on the fence and simply return one!
Took these home with me yesterday! They’re so cute and perfect for weekends and/or “mommying.”
Oh my gosh. The Barefoot Dreams selection is GREAT this year. This is my pick! But you can…
This brand is amazing because ALL the shoes are waterproof, but they don’t look like rain boots. Like what?!
Looks like old school Coach! A great crossbody.
Obsessed with these. I’ve owned mine for a few years now and wear them all the time with longer sweaters and blouses. Can’t recommend more! So comfy yet they feel like PJs/leggings.
I tried this on yesterday and fell in love. It’s BIG, though. I might recommend that everyone goes with the XS, haha.
This is one of my most-worn tops. It’s SO SOFT. Size down.
Best cut from Hudson, for sure. If you can do distressed jeans, definitely consider this pair.
Wow! Such a versatile color on sale.
Here’s the coveted Longchamp bag! So glad it was brought back. Sells out QUICKLY so grab yours now.
Favorite Madewell sweater.
This one looks so cozy!
Brought this one home with me yesterday, too. It’s so pretty! And perfectly flowy and slimming, which is nice right now. I went with the size 4.
A spin on the classic Transport Tote.
The best Patagonia jacket from the sale!
Love this one, too. Los Gatos is SO soft.
A great yellow rain coat. In a sea of black coats, dare to stand out. ;)
I have a hard time justifying Rag & Bone purchases unless I’m buying during the Anniversary Sale. These are awesome! So flattering.
MY SUNGLASSES ARE INCLUDED IN BLACK!
Why are you still so much money? I love you. Haha.
GREAT boots.
I’ve had my eye on these for a while so excited to see them included.
A timeless trench.
Leopard is a neutral. If you don’t already own leopard pumps, nab these! The pump also comes in solid colors.
This bag is only $39.90!
This is the alternative! I can’t decide which I like better. Own both.
White sneakers you can wear year-round. They give you a little height, too!
Fabulous over-the-knee boots you can wear with skinny jeans AND dresses. Love these for the winter when I’m freezing but want to get dressed up!
The queen of all over-the-knee boots. If you’ve always wanted a pair, now’s the time to pounce.
The best curling iron to have ever existed.
WUBBY FLEECE! Size down.
A beautiful cardigan that makes you look taller.
The famous ponte pants you can wear to work. (Or for play!) They fit like leggings but are thicker.
The prettiest sweater from the sale. It also comes in a cashmere version!
Considering this!
Everyday turtleneck sweater in tons of colors.
Super soft and cozy! If you live in Chicago, this might be a must. ;)
Cardigan version.
A timeless chambray shirt. Size down. Very soft!
Another take on the sweater blazer.
