Yesterday I indulged myself in some Neiman Marcus sale shopping, champagne in the dressing room and all. Among the highlights: this sexy lace dress (40% off) and this boxy floral top (33% off) by Stella McCartney, this Tom Ford clutch (33% off), these iconic frocks by Chloe and this Proenza Schouler. For me, though, the coup d'etat were these sexy Alexander Wang lace-up sandals (30% off) procured in black. Yes, they are awesome. And I haven't lost steam yet... I'm wanting to tackle Barney's next, where incredibly desirable pieces marked down by 40% such as this Isabel Marant Etoile tunic dress, this Saint Laurent classic duffel bag and these (hard-to-find) rose gold Givenchy sandals await!

I love how this lavishly-embroidered dress possesses the decadence of an evening gown. And yet you could also wear it with flat sandals!

A quick getaway to Napa over Memorial Day weekend provided me with a dress rehearsal for summer, among other valuable things! The 90+ degree weather meant that I could wear many of my new (and old) warm-weather pieces and the back-to-back activities--running, yoga, dining, poolside lounging, swimming, biking, wine drinking, and late-night dancing--demanded multiple outfit changes. I was confident I had packed all the clothes suitable for the itinerary (given I've done this trip before)--until a friend threw on an oversize blue button-down blouse for our leisurely bike ride through the vineyards. Not only was it perfect for the outing, but perfect for the summer. It's something I could throw on over a bathing suit, or with a pair of jeans, shorts or skirt (as demonstrated in these pics, here). The loose fit yields much-needed ventilation in the sweltering heat, and it looks effortlessly, summery cool. So, of course, as soon as I returned, I hunted down some options for the warms months ahead. They include but are not limited to this Band of Outsiders pinstripe shirt (30% off), this lightweight cotton Elizabeth and James, this Steven Alan button-down, and this J.Crew boyfriend-fit classic.

I already snapped up these Gianvito Rossi pumps (as I destroyed my old pair dancing in Napa this past weekend), this classic-yet-sexy Thakoon dress (50% off), this Chloe boucle sweater (40% off), and this Lisa Maree crochet bikini (30% off), because summer's fun has just begun. If I could keep going, I'd throw in this striking, forever-stylish Fendi skirt, these lace-up Jimmy Choos (50% 0ff), above, this cheeky Charlotte Olympic clutch (50% off), this Roland Mouret chantilly lace dress (50% off), these Rag & Bone white boyfriend jeans, and this everyday-chic Adam Lippes fringed top (30% off).

You may recall that my love for second-hand shopping extends from my wardrobe to my home. In fact, my most beloved pieces of furniture--i.e., my living room sofa, my dining room chairs, my vintage Chinese glass paintings (above)--have been sourced from antique stores and flea markets from all over the world. So, I was thrilled when Chairish--the newest, coolest (not crazily-priced!) home decor consignment site around--asked me to do a quick guest edit of my favorites from their current, masterfully-curated selection. The browsing process alone made me think I need to/can easily re-decorate my house from top to bottom! Here are some of the pieces I want to spruce up my house: this Milo Baughmann campaign desk, below, in orange lacquer, this mid-century brass campaign chair (to go with!/second image), this Moroccan Azilal rug (third pic), this beachy Cheryl Maeder photograph (fourth image), this pair of vintage brass Italian Chiavari chairs (fifth image), this antique nickel light pendant, this brass apple ice bucket, and this gilded Hollywood Regency coffee table (last image).
