Checking out the Shopbop sale

The more you spend, the more you save

Here’s how it works: if you spend $200 or more, you get 15% off; orders of $500 or more get 20% off, and if you go for over $800 worth of stuff, the discount is 25%. I always like to take advantage of these “events,” because you can buy pieces that might not typically ever get marked down. On the downside, the sale is ostensibly site-wide, but there are an annoying number of exclusions. Still, I found much to like, for example this oversized alpaca blend crewneck from Anine Bing, whose sweaters I’m a fan of.

And check out Rag & Bone’s ever-popular Slade blazer, also available in this excellent (if a mite impractical) ecru.

An elegant, super clean-lined camel coat is never a bad idea.

A solid pair of Chelsea boots with a nicely clunky sole.

I always like an O-ring belt, and I especially like the more oval shape of the buckle on this one.

A fun little ribbed knit polo-collar dress in graphic black and white.

I dig the built-in knit cuffs on this chic blazer.

I prefer a purse with little to no hardware, and this hobo bag is pretty much aces in that respect.

This pair of loafers looks really polished, and at the same time satisfyingly chunky.

I’m not sure how to relate to you how much I desire this cable knit half-zip sweater, but let’s just say it’s a lot.

A really pretty convincing-looking faux shearling jacket.

And finally, the chevron pocket on this button-down is such a good touch.
