CYBER MONDAY

I liken Mondays to that horrible DJ at a local bar who plays nothing but Nelly tracks from 2006 in the hope that he can pick up drunk middle aged women with one too many Cosmopolitans in their system. They're making the whole room feel uneasy, but you're all top aware that their set won't end for another two hours so your only option is to grin and bear it. In short, I hate Mondays.

So when Cyber Monday rolls around, I feel like it has something to prove. I feel like it has to make  up for the other 50 odd Mondays each year that the stale pop tune 'Manic Monday' was written about. I expect it to make amends with me by offering me all the sales that I missed out on during Black Friday because I don't reside in America. 

Cyber Monday, you have not failed me. Allow me to share with you my top picks. Prepare your bank account.

I've had my eye on these babies for at least a year and the shearling lining is just an added bonus for a girl like me with cold feet, and not in the figurative sense. With Shopbop's discount, the Pistol boot is reduced from $1015 to $761. I understand this will literally break my bank account, but I like to think of the money saved. This is how I sleep at night. Shopbop also has some amazing discounts on Theory, Alexander Wang, rag & bone, Josh Goot and Michael Kors, just enter GOBIG14 at the checkout for up to 25%. You're welcome.

If you're like me and love receiving designer-look pieces without the designer prices, Choies is your new home. This alice mcCALL-esque piece is only $16.90 and I think I need it in my life with these Giuseppe Zanotti inspired heels, this fedora that is a dead ringer for the Lack of Color hats making their way onto celebrity heads and this bag that is identical to the WHITEPEPPER's version. There are pieces almost identical to those of Jeremy Scott, For Love and Lemons, Jeffrey Campbell, House of Holland and Cameo up for grabs at up to 90%. Enter 10OFF100 at the checkout to receive $10 off any purchase $100 or over.

Sheinside has gone berserk today. They are offering an incredible 28% off orders $50 and over, 30% off orders over $100 and 35% orders over $200. Plus, the first 5,000 orders over $100 receive a lucky bag filled with free items. Heck yeah. This incredible pink coat is usually $52.55 but is now reduced to a crazy $37 when you apply discounts. Just enter final28, final30 and final35 at the checkout to apply your discounts. Go nuts.

If it were possible to have a crush on a piece of clothing, I think these culottes would be my love interest. Paired with a loose tee and loafers, I feel like I could wear these all summer long. With ASOS's discount, these come in at a reasonable $69. Just enter CYBERWKND20 for 20% off all items at the checkout.


I'm a little bit in love with this maxi. I've purchased two Cameo dresses from BNKR in the last couple of months and have been impressed by the quality of the fabric, detailing and service provided by both companies, so I'm using these reasons to justify the formation of a new partnership between this dress and I. If you love the incredible pieces coming out of Australia at the moment, look no further than BNKR this Monday. Boasting labels like Cameo, Finders Keepers, JAGGAR, Keepsake and the Fifth, BNKR are offering 20% sitewide, just enter CYBERMONDAY at the checkout.

Have you ever convinced yourself that you desperately need an item of clothing? Well, this is it. I don't need this Opening Ceremony playsuit, but at the same time.. I really do. Sort of. Okay, so I'll admit this last retailer isn't technically offering Cyber Monday-specific sales, but I'd be cruel not to include it. So if you've ever convinced yourself that you need a piece from Kenzo, Dion Lee, Ellery, Proenza Schouler or Chloe, check out Green With Envy's clearance sale, offering anywhere from 50% to 70% off.
