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.

Jewels

All sale items at Beklina are an extra 40% off today only with code 1crazyday40. Even though they seemed to have raised some of the sale prices for the occasion, I like these gold plated and black lacquer earrings, $42 (were $95), and this lacquer and leather cuff, $51 (was $115).

Clutch

Brown leather clutch with white upside-down "v" pattern, $40 (was $140) with code EXTRA40 at Need Supply. There are some good jeans on sale too.

Fall Colors

Via the summer Barney's Warehouse sale -- hitting New York in a few weeks but starting online now. From above, Aesa brass earrings $169 (originally $415); Acne wool skirt $79 (was $210); and Barneys Co-op brand patent leather flats  $99 (were $250).

Ace & Jig

I was ambivalent about Ace & Jig's airy cotton pieces until this season, when I became obsessed with the brand's "antique gauze" print (top picture, below) and sure enough wear the shirt I have in it constantly. The Ace & Jig sample sale underway at Of a Kind has a lot of pieces in antique gauze and other patterns/colors. The racerback tank is $45 (was $115) in limited sizes, but there are more options with the weekend dress for $80 (was $200). Things have sold out even during the course of this post, confirming that it's going fast.

Best Skirt

Someone buy this skirt! Rachel Comey silk and wool knee-length skirt in a brownish orange basket weave print for $40 on eBay with 1 bid and only 11 hours left. I have this same skirt in another color and it is awesome. Mine is a medium, so I think the small would work best for a size 2-4.

Gray Dress

This gray twill asymmetrical dress by Clemens en August, $118 (was $740), and a bunch of other things are still around and up to 85% off at the Outnet clearance sale, through Tuesday.

Summer Sales

Have reached 50% off. From Totokaelo, I like, from above, this blue suede Wood Wood bag for $97.50 (was $195), these slightly cropped light blue jeans from Court for $58.50 (were $117), and these No. 6 boots for $195 (were $390). There are also half-off sales at Creatures of Comfort, Need Supply Co., and La Garconne, among others.
