Classiques Entier Dramatic Bootie in Black (at left) but the Smoke color is also hot. These arrived at my doorstep last week and I love them! I’ve slowly warmed up to booties over the last two seasons and seeing how they’re not going away, I finally grabbed a pair to go with tights during cooler weather. I’m also eyeing them as wearable now to edge up black dresses.Born Crown Yolanda Boots in Gray: This fills up the gray color void in my boots collection, and these are my first pair that have buckles detail. Trying to venture out of my plain shoe comfort zone! Can't wait until these arrive.
Love by Design Military Open Front Cardigan in Beige + Gray Stripe. The color I got is sold out online but it's the same style as the link above, except beige overall and thinish grey stripes. I usually hate beige and gray mixed together but made an exception for this sweater.
Rubbish Oversized Cardigan in the olive and light gray stripe. Adding to my stripe collection, I got this long cardigan for travelling (super comfy and covers up leggings. The model's outfit is ugly - yuck, plum under green and gray? - but I like this cardigan by itself and would pair it simply with black jeggings.
Vince Camuto Amber Peep Toe Bootie in Midnight True Suede (1st on right). Gorgeousss color, I’m a sucker for dark blue and this bootie is just delicious. What’s stopping me is the impracticality of suede in NYC (the porous material will be ruined by rain + snow slush) and also the peeptoe. Just a personal preference, I despise how my long toes look in peeptoes, but they are adorable on other people who have smaller, cute toes!
Nine West Pocketful Pump in Dark Natural (2nd on right): The more I stare at these, the more convincing I am to myself that I must have them. These would be great for summer casual outings, and I'm really liking the cutouts. The ankle wrap is the only thing stopping me, as I am hesitant of anything that cuts me off visually. The wrapped leather would cover up my ankles, giving one giant calf down to my feet which won't be pretty.. Wish I had tried these on in store! Nine West Madeup Pump in Taupe or Red Patent (3rd on right). Stylish yet sensible 3” heels for work, the dark red color is droolworthy and a welcome addition to classic pump colors. I tried this on in stores and NW runs half to a full size large.
Halogen Drape Neck Dolman Sleeve Sweater in Moody Iris. Such a pretty color, and I’m all about drapey loose tops over skinny / straight leg jeans.Other very popular items from the sale (as far as I gathered from reading forums and people's reviews) are the Sam Edelman Over-the-Knee boots and the Ugg Abilene suede perforated boots.

Yet another reason to love Anniversary Sale is the bonanza of limited edition Beauty Exclusives available. These are great values so if you've been wanting/needing some makeup, skincare or fragrance products, now's a good time to grab these:
Clarisonic kits that Michelle and I swear by (read posts here and here) - Mia and Plus sets (I have the Plus set with the body brush and Michelle loves her Mia!)
MAC brush kits or Giorgio Armani Travel Brush Set: Face brushes are important to smooth, even application of foundation and blush. I think eyebrushes are more interchangeable so can go lower-end with those (or maybe I just don't use enough eyeshadow!) but I'm okay with spending more on face brushes.
Did you get anything you love from the Anniversary Sale?
