Buying & Eyeing
What I have personally purchased during Memorial Day Sales and 15+ more sale finds.
My sale purchases:
Glowy Makeup Primer // 20% off
I realized today that I am running low on my go-to primer, which I use every day as my base before makeup, so I ordered another bottle while it is 20% off this weekend. (I wear shade Starglow.)
Winslow Jeans // 20% off
I seem to always be on the hunt for the next great pair of jeans, so I bought this new-to-me style earlier in the week. They arrived at my door the next day, and I can report back that I am really happy with the fit.
Sizing: I bought my usual jeans size, 34
Deep Green Cardigan // 40% off
You all know I love a good cardigan (cardigans, jeans, and ballet flats are one of my go-to outfits.) So when I saw this lightweight cardigan that I already own and love in other colorways was on major sale in a fun, deep green, I jumped at the chance to buy it.
Sizing: I take my true size, XL, in this style.
Ginger non-alcoholic spritz // 20% off with code: SPRITZSUMMER
As of late, I am not drinking alcohol quite as often as I used to. On nights when I might want a cocktail or glass of wine, I will often reach for this non-alcoholic spritz instead. I used this current sale to stock up on a few cans and have them shipped to Maine.
Items I own (and love) that are currently discounted:
The pain I feel when I see an item that I bought at full price go on sale…! Lucky for you, sad for me!
Elevated Canvas Tote // 40% off
Do any of us need another tote bag? Probably not. BUT this one is chic and elevated in a nice way. While you certainly don’t need it, I do like having mine. I have used it as a travel tote, beach tote, and bag for errands. Really, all the things.
I will say, I wish the handles were 2-3 inches longer, but it works. The straps fit over my shoulder as long as I don’t have a big winter puffer coat on.
Tech Accessories // up to 50% off
My phone/ airpods charger that I keep on my desk is 25% off this weekend. I love that it can charge both items at once with no extra cords, just the mag safe technology.
**I feel like this could be a great father’s day gift!
Depuffing Eye Patches // 20% off
My mom and I both love using eye patches. I feel like we have tried them all over the years, and this is our current go-to favorite.
Go-To Bra // 30% off
This is the bra I reach for anytime I need a little lift or if I am wearing a more form fitting top.
Otherwise, I am more or less always in this more comfortable bra that has no underwire. (I buy my true size, XL, in this.)
If I am in something strapless, I opt for these sticky boobs. They are not currently on sale but you can use the code: CAKES-NANPHILIP to save 21% on your order.
Cheeky Notepads // 20% off
You all know I love all things paper goods and chic stationery — and one of my go-to gifts is this set of notepads. They always seem to make someone laugh, and they just feel practical. Who doesn’t need a few more notepads? Maybe grab a few and keep them on hand to use as hostess gifts throughout the summer.
Perfect Striped Longsleeve // 20% off with code: STRIPES20
You all know I love anything and everything striped, and this is one of my go-to striped shirts. Out of all the styles and types of striped shirts I have tried, this one is made of a super cozy and soft fabric that feels like a good hug.
Sizing: I buy my true size XL, but I will say it is a stretchy material, so you could maybe size down if between sizes.
Blue Floral Maxi Dress // over 50% off
Need a dress to wear to a wedding this summer? Or really any summer function. This dress could be the winner.
I only got this dress at the start of the year and have already worn it multiple times, and I suspect I will only reach for it more now that we are in the warmer months.
Sizing: I would suggest sizing up in this dress, as I found it to run a bit small in the bust and arms. Mine is an XXL vs my usual XL.
Donni // up to 60% off various styles
We know I love anything and everything from Donni..so of course, a lot of their sale items caught my eye. A few of the sale items are pieces I already own and wear often:
Thermal Crop Stripe Pants are a nice cozy pant option for lounging at home. I would say the fabric is on the heavier side (more like a cozy sweatpant.) Sizing: buy your true size/don’t size up. Mine are my usual XL but I maybe could have sized down to a L.
This Green Coat was one of my favorite items to wear this past winter; a perfect way to dress up a chic all-black outfit. Sizing, this runs a touch big, don’t size up. Mine is my usual XL.
Black Pointed Toe Flats // 15% Off with Code NPMAY26SF
I swear by these elevated black leather ballet flats - out of all my designer shoes these are the pair I find most comfortable to wear on longer days or when I need to walk a longer distance. I own these in a few colorways but wear this black pair the most.
Sizing: I think these run a touch big, if between sizes I would size down a 1/2 size. I can be a 42, 42.5 or 43 in designer shoes but take my smallest size, a 42 in these.
In Shower Body Moisturizer // 20% off
You all have heard me rave time and time again about this nourishing body product that you can use while you are in the shower to replace the dreaded post-shower body lotion step. I like the scented version (a clean floral scent) but if you are picky about fragrance, maybe try the scent free version.
Items in my shopping cart:
The items I want to buy, but my wallet is telling me it is time to cut myself off!
Brown Manolo Blahnik Mules // 40% off
Sizing: I take my bigger size (a 43 vs my usual 42) in this mule style.)
Red Trench Coat // 40% off
Do I need a red jacket…No. But do I want it anyway? Yes, yes, I do!
Sizing: this coat, like most Toteme jackets, runs large. The 38 fit me best (while I am usually a 44 or bigger) So size down 1-3 sizes.
Róhe Suede Jacket // 30% off
I am continually tempted to order this chic jacket. I actually bought it last summer in a grey wool but then returned it and have regretted not keeping it ever since.
Sizing: When I tried this jacket on previously, the F42 size worked for me (I am a pretty true XL), so I think you can size down in this.
Olympia Le-Tan clutches // 15% off with code: HAPPYSUMMER
These clutches always feel painfully expensive, but gosh, I just think they are so fun. I bought one of their clutches this past winter while on sale, and it is such a fun conversation piece.
Sarah Bray Hats // 15% off with code: HAPPYSUMMER
I could always use a updated straw hat, and this one caught my eye. I love all the hats I own from Sarah’s brand, and the pink cord on this feels especially fun for summer!
Aerin Wicker Clutch // 30% off
I’ve always loved the look of this wicker clutch, it just seems classic and chic.
