Coucou all and welcome back to SammyFaces,
My June 30th birthday is not only a reminder that half the year has gone but also kicks off weddings season and... retail summer sales!!
I've talked about my ongoing closet challenge here so I hope it wont come as a surprise that I keep an eye on what's out there in case some items on my target list are discounted.
After sharing my latest purchases for Spring, I wanted to share another round of lust items I am currently contemplating, mixed with some good classics.
As it turns out this year I'm all about dresses, some earrings and more dresses. I have also been on a hunt for tan and gold mid-heel sandals, linen pants and a few neutral accessories here and there.
Here below I am sharing some of my favourite picks for this summer and most of them are on sales. yayyyy.
If you follow my IG- hopefully you'd recognize some of these and as I am writing I may or may not have added a few more to my shopping cart :-)
That Sandro red dress - because I'm obsessed with everything that looks remotely like an Alaia dress but without the price tag ;-) - I wore this for my birthday dinner with a simple belt.
Topshop peplum white jacket - It is very light hence perfect for spring/summer and I am wearing it almost every day - sold out on Topshop website but still available on Nordstrom ;-); and I am currently considering this blush one as well.
Summer wrap and shirt dresses - I have confessed my love for shirtdresses before and my favourite this summer is this sleeveless pink sateen dress (is it even a shirt dress?) by none other than the Spaniard Zara. I honestly love this dress so much (hello buttons and pockets!!) that I am considering lobbying aka spamming Zara's Instagram account for the exact same in other colours; alternatively this simple white shirtdress is all I could live in too; and whilst this green one and this paisley dress are very summery, this black dress or this one would be great staple pieces for all seasons.
Maxi dresses- this H&M pleated black dress and this white one are so easy to wear for weekend and casual summer parties.
The perfect White jeans - finally found mine at Mango - Get them and thank me later!
WHBM blazer dress - paired with this "Alaia"-esque belt would elevate anyone to the rank of a Michelle Obama or Olivia Pope.
Maxmara everything - first can we talk about this trench dress (now sold out) or even better yet this white dress - because thanks to the new Duchess Meghan, broad shouldered ladies like me are finally having a moment ;-); next is this one (another wrap dress I know but they have THE best ones); in fact I would be ready to buy the whole dress collection on sale from this black dress to this silk strapless one or this red number, yep everything! because the greatest thing with Maxmara is you are always sure to get that whole effortless chic look covered. yep always.
till next time

Something red - because we all need a little red dress during summer to make that melanin or sun tan pop - this one by Mango or this one from Bash are my top choices.
Sandals of course - summer sandals you can wear for any occasion - black here, here and here, brown here, here and here; tan here and here, beige here and gold here
Roger Vivier - because classic and so comfortable that buying a pair or two on sale is always a good idea!
That's it for now...
Many thanks for reading and Happy shopping!
till next time
