Bags

Like most everything, it's hard to find a great bag when you need one. I could currently use a black bag, but all I see are browns (and red). From top, brown suede tote by Wolcott : Takemoto at Anaïse for $184 (was $368); beautiful red and camel bag by Philip Lim on eBay for $200 with zero bids and 7 hours left; and Eileen Fisher brown leather bag, also on eBay, for $250 or best offer with 19 days left. I actually have this bag, and it is gigantic and pretty amazing. There are also a lot of leather bags on super sale at Yoox -- use code BYESUMMER@YOOX for an extra 10% off until September 25.

Raw Silk

I like the more casual feel and texture. Not super cheap, but more useful than the slippery silk. Beige dress by A Détacher at Anaïse for $201 (was $670) in a size 4 and 8; blue top by SF-based boutique Gravel & Gold for $100 (was $140).

Shoe Sale

Is it weird to have three pairs of the same shoes? The Solestruck sale -- an extra 40% off all sale shoes,  making this Rachel Comey pair $104 (were $344) -- is forcing me to contemplate this question, as I already have the pair below in nude and red. There are towering heels and studded flats galore, along with a few less out-there pieces by Comey, Acne, and Jeffrey Campbell (I like the Arizona model, which comes in a bunch of cool colors). You must log in through Facebook; prices are marked. Today only, final sale.
