Weekend Deals & Steals 8/23 to the end of my vacation

Consider this the last post before I leave stateside.  Don't fret darlings, I've found lots of goodies to keep you held over until I come back.  Apparently Sample Sale season is starting up again with end of the summer goodies from fancy brands like Barney's, DKNY, and Hermes in New York.  Atlanta is finally opening their first C. Wonder, which I like to call the Forever 21 of Tory Burch related goods (you should read about the creator Chris Burch, and that will explain why).  As always, online is a repository extra deals.  I'm in love with this Lilly Pulitzer dress shown below, which is an absolute STEAL.  A brand name white lace dress for under $50?  Now that's crazy.

Lilly Pulitzer Franco Dress ($49); J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Double Serge Cotton ($49.99 without extra 30% off); Banana Republic Melana Braided Sandal ($89.99 without extra 25% off)
