I can’t believe the weekend is almost here! These last few weeks have been super busy and at some points very stressful so it will be so nice to get away from the everyday hustle and finally relax and get some rest. For me shopping is fun and most certainly very therapeutic but I am not looking for more problems spending too much money or spending money on something that's not worth it, that’s why sales and promos are definitely the way to go!  Check out the latest DEAL FINDER and get your shopping therapy!

Today Only! Cole Haan Warehouse sale up to 60% off!

As you know I can’t miss a good deal and this promotion is definitely one that is worth looking into. Cole Haan earned its outstanding reputation by producing great quality leather goods and having amazing designs. Let’s put it this way – my husband who works in the fashion industry is pretty picky and precise with his look and 95% of his shoes (and he has A LOT) are Cole Haan! And the best thing, comfort also comes with their stylish, sleek footwear! Carey says his flat feet feel the best when wearing CH!

Into the wild. Part 2 - Leopard

Leopard is one of the hottest prints the last few seasons but in actuality it never loses its relevance. It's a classic fashion print and will stay that way forever.

Betsey Johnson shoes

Though leopard shoes or dress won’t be a shocking factor in your look they most certainly will spice it up and add a big chunk of edge and attitude. “Spotty” accessories will breathe life into a very simple ensemble transforming it into a feminine and fashionable look. Bigger, more substantial styles like blouses, pants and even dresses in the "wild cat" pattern require a bit more careful styling; they are the focal point of an outfit and nothing else should compete for attention but should only serve to complement. Pairing them with monochromatic yet strong pieces will take your leopard print to a higher level and together will create a perfectly elegant and sophisticated ensemble.

P.S. I am actually really getting into my new hobby – nail art and of course I had to do a leopard nail design for this post. Check it out! Hope you'll like it!

The Nautical theme is one of the most logical and for that reason, most popular summer trends popping up in stores every year. And though the classic red, white and blue stripes are still the essence of this marine look they don’t necessarily define it.

Overall styling and small details can bring a nautical feel to your ensemble without obvious references. Pink, white and red stripes instead of the usual tri-color works just fine if you add some massive gold jewelry (especially in the nautical style) and maybe a pair of espadrilles. Some necklines, like boat necks and deep V’s with frilly ties, easily convey a sea-inspired feel if just play around with the traditional red, white and blue hues. Lastly, gold buttons are a magic detail that can turn pretty much any look into a nautical one.

MANGO Sailor jumper, $39.99

MANGO Sailor stripes dress, $59.99

GUESS? Enamel-centered cuff with rhinestones, $32

GUESS? Link cuff bracelet, $42

GUESS? Starfish cuff, $175

GUESS? Starfish pendant necklace, $60

Timeless and universally flattering for any figure and age, the nautical style is very forgiving and at the same time quite decorative and eye-catching. Considering the consistency of this trend and its general style, any nautical piece you buy is a great long-term wardrobe investment.

MANGO Striped dress, $39.99

MANGO Sailor style cardigan, $44.99
