Macys + Talbots Friends & Family sales

Dress by my friend Khatu, Ray-ban glasses in blue/gold (on sale!), Talbots sandals

Low-heeled neutral sandals are a must for the upcoming seasons...I know several of you were interested in my Talbots sandals from last year (long sold out), so I wanted to mention the cute options available this season. Talbots is currently having a 30% off Friends & Family sale with code FRIENDS30, ends 5/4. Sizes are starting to sell out, especially for online exclusive-styles. My favorite is the Peggy sandal with a low, comfortable block heel, constructed very similarly to my favorite pair from last year. I love all three classic color options, and the touch of gold on the inside of the heel (see stock photo) is so unexpectedly chic. I wore them around all day with no breaking-in needed. Size 5's are gone in all colors for the Peggy, but I found them to run a little small and a 5.5 fit me snugly. Here's another look at them:

Halogen shirt (Pls excuse the wrinkles! Got caught in the rain then stuffed inside my purse)

J.Crew factory skirt (waist altered), Talbots sandals, Kate Spade watch (25% off)

Here's a few other leather flat to low-heeled options on sale. Each of these are also available in a light neutral "Macadamia" color or the cognac brown "Pecan" pictured above. I've generally found Talbots footwear to be of good quality and comfy, and my friends are always surprised to learn where they're from! As an FYI, sizes 5 and 5.5 are online only.

Macy's is also having a F&F with 25% off most items - lots of pieces that I love are included! Use code FRIEND, ends 5/4. Nordstrom is price matching and I noticed that some of the matched prices are actually lower there than at Macy's:

1. The SM sandals that I've been over-wearing in "blush patent" (see my review and comments on comfort) retail for less at Nordstrom, and have the 25% off applied on top of that.
2. Ray-ban classic aviators (I wore the "brown" here and the "blue/gold" up above) are so easily adjustable for flat nose bridges, and also appear to be priced less at Nordstorm.
3. Michael Kors Sutton satchel - priced the same at Macy's and at Nordstrom, with more color options in stock at Macy's. See the pale blue medium sutton on me.
