Before you know it spring will be in full swing!  Stock up now by taking advantage of great deals on sandals like these ABS Alteration Open Toe Slingbacks.  I love this brown color, but if you are blessed with naturally nice tan skin or hope to have tan skin during the spring & summer seasons they also come in orange & mustard.  These cute sandals do have wooden heels which can sometimes cause discomfort, but what always does the trick for me is slipping on those Dr. Scholl’s for Her Open Shoe Insoles.

ABS Alteration Open Toe High Heel Slingback Sandal:  $55.98 (was $150)

Aw…this dress. I love the color, and I love the way they’ve styled it. It’s so simple and completely versatile–you really could wear it for a lot of occasions. It’s a good day to night, work to weekend number. It’s one of those effortless dresses that makes you look put together pretty simply. I’ve been considering it for a while, and now it’s only $37.90. That’s chump change when you think of all the wear you’ll get out of it.

Velvet Torch Sleeveless Ponte Shift Dress, $37.90 (old price= $58)

Business or pleasure? This Via Spiga “Prove” pump certainly blurs the line doesn’t it? The glossy yellow finish says “hurrah,” but the loafer style keeps things tidily under wraps. I’m also crazy for the gold buckle and blond wood heel. I’d wear them now with an all-black ensemble, and pair them with bare legs and a navy dress in spring.

Refreshing.

Via Spiga ‘Prove’ Pump, $131.90 (old price= $198.00)

I’m all about the wide leg denim, which is not only my most flattering cut, but is pretty much universally attractive. Plus, this silhouette is so easy to dress up or down, so I can’t get enough. Classy! That is why I’m taking advantage of the wide leg revolution, and stocking up for leaner times–who knows the next time this denim style will come around?

If you empathize with my affection for wide leg jeans, then you’ll be happy to know that these Paige Denim Hillhurst Wide-Leg is finally on sale at eLuxury.

Paige Denim Hillhurst Wide-Leg Jean, $139 (Old Price=$198)

It’s been a while since I did a top 5, but by popular demand I’ve got one for you today. The subject: handbags. It’s the end of the season, and stores are dying to get rid of last season’s must-haves. Why not help them out? You can find some of the chicest bags around in the sale section of almost every store right now.

Here are my faves:

La Gioe di Toscana “Sophia” Satchel, $299 (old price=$500)

I find this bag absolutely delicious! Imagine what you can do with it–it has brown and black in it! It’s also very structured with eye-popping details.

Nordstrom Animal Print Portfolio Clutch, $46.90 (old price= $158)

Generally speaking, animal prints are best in small doses. And isn’t this zebra print clutch the cutest small dose? An evening bag like this is a great way to add personality to a little black dress, and a just-wild-enough way to punch up an ensemble with color.

JCrew Panama Bag in Suede, $49 (old price= $98)

The color combination is what makes this classic bag so eye-catching and sumptuous. This is the perfect way to liven up a monochromatic outfit or perk up a dark ensemble. It also looks like it would work for day or night.

Michael by Michael Kors Chestertown Satchel, $149 (old price= $298)

Simple and chic. This is a great bag that’ll always be in season. The details are fantastic, and it falls into that special not-to-big-not-too-small category. I have a black patent leather bag, and it’s definitely earned it’s keep.

Urban Outfitters Leather Patchwork Slouch Bag, $54.99 (old price=$78)

Patchwork! It’s time to bring this style back. I think if I had this, it would become my permanent day bag–it’s so cool, calm and collected.
