This year, I’m sharing the best Labor Day sales and shopping in two ways: my top picks and the best brands to check out. First up – my top picks for fall in no particular order. I’m sticking with camel, creams, and navy (no surprise there!) and my accent colors will be teal/green and red (with a touch of pink). What about you?! I’m hearing a spendthrifty and then splurge-worthy version of most items as well! Vest (Save / Splurge) – wear
Check out Charm & Chain for fabulous summer jewelry under $100!!
A maxi dress: it’s easy, doesn’t require “matching” and doesn’t require heels Comes in several summery colors: orange juice, ladybug red, grape jelly, bright cobalt, black Costs $59 at Victoria’s Secret Material is cotton and modal — which means you’ll feel cool and covered but feminine and flirty! Styling also allows for larger or smaller chest size Can be worn on a Saturday errand, for a Friday evening concert in the park, with a cropped cardi for travel, or with some spicey

It’s Tumi luggage – reliable and time-tested – understated and simple – functional yet sophisticated. At Gilt Groupe now, GO! Let’s pack it up and get it goin’…
Do not buy a tankini: no belly coverage and the top usually hits at a bad place Try a maillot: it instantly creates a waist, disguises bulges, and is sexier than a string bikini No prints if you’re full-figured: they make you look bigger and stand out Choose a sophisticated color: leave neons and generally craziness to the young chicks; aim for youthful not young! No skirted suits: they make you look matronly; try a sarong or tunic! Choose higher-cut

J Crew has just kicked off a “20% off all women’s dresses” special — so let’s take advantage of it. There are tons of styles, shapes, colors, and textures but, one of my all-round favorites is this Crinkle dupioni dress ($118.40). Why you ask? the textureof the dupioni lends itself to the informal Saturday grocery run and the slightly more dressy Sunday brunch the drapey shift shape is ideal to cover up imperfections or, with a belt, highlight some assets
Neiman Marcus Last Call: 20% off entire purchase, Jan 26th – Feb 2nd Botkier: everything is an additional 25% off using code DAILYCANDY25 Fratelli Rossetti shoes: at Rue La La for men and women DNA 2050 (Chicago only): buy a pair of regularly priced jeans (Hudson, Genetic, J Brand, Joe’s and more) and get 50% off the second pair!

Today is the last day to take advantage of 15% your entire Shoes.com purchase using promo code TAKE15. I do not shop shoes.com regularly because, frankly, there are too many shoes and, even more frankly, too many bad shoes but once in a while, you can find something very worthwhile. I love, love, love these Kenneth Cole black patent flats — they are flat and friendly; they are shiny and dress-up well; they are simple and thus are more versatile; and
If you’re familiar with Roberto Cavalli then you know he always has something “special” in his line — leopard print is a staple, bright and festive color pairing that you might find slightly uncomfortable, and cuts and styling could make even the most outgoing blush on occasion. With that said, he’s a master with color and, in smaller doses, his pieces are showstoppers for the everyday woman and items to relish for years to come. Gilt Groupe is running a sale
[images from Ressurection] Use Resurrection Vintage to help you. This is a store that I’ve been watching for a while, and have seen and purchased a few of their items–total hauteness! They are (finally) acquiescing and moving ‘into the light‘ with e-commerce and you benefit from that. The store features vintage and resale, and it most definitely worth the email and click! It’s simple: send an email to pressoffice@resurrection-krmh.com with your first and last name, and email address and they’ll send you

I love this ring and bracelet set by Paige Novick at LaGarconne. The cylindrical, double band ring is made of silver but has a black rhodium finish, and at $115 is a great value. The $335 single strand braided leather and silver bracelet has ring closure clamps. Separately they’re nice, but together they’re ‘ready to rumble’! Now we just need to find the perfect fitted leather jacket because we’ve already got the attitude….
One of my (new) favorite sites is Outnet.com and here are six reasons why: Why wouldn’t you want a military-inspired coat so everyone stands at attention when you walk in the room? ($236) They’ll make you feel anything but grey on a chilly fall day- Pedro Garcia grey suede ankle boots that actually add zip to your outfit ($190) Go 60s flower-power without the flowers with this retro Malene Birger tunic dress that reminds that true style is just a revolving door ($225) Why not
