Link Love, Vol. 73

Happy Friday (the 13th), guys! LOTS of great sales and such to share with you today…

First and foremost:

I happened upon Otte New York’s website (one of my favorite Manhattan-based boutiques) amid a wine-fueled Internet browsing sesh last night* to find that the entire website is 20% off — zero designer exclusions. Cue PANIC!

Immediately, I went straight to the handbag section and found the metallic mini Pashli by 3.1 Phillip Lim that I’ve been lusting over for two years. TWO YEARS — ever since I got the metallic boots (on sale), pictured below.

For a hard-to-find bag by a brand that never goes on sale, 20% off (with code OTTELOVE20), that’s fate my friends. The gold/platinum version is cute, too — there are eight different Pashli styles available, among other handbag options.

I would have also purchased rag & bone’s black leather booties, but unfortunately my size seems to be the only one that’s sold out.

Full-price items on Otte rarely go on sale (as is the case with all these designers) — including Black Friday & Cyber Monday — so if you see something you’ve been dying for, I suggest you snag it now for 20% off. Their brands/designers include Karen Walker sunglasses, Alexander Wang bags, J Brand jeans, Schutz shoes. Illesteva sunglasses and more — even Canada Goose jackets! Remember to use the code OTTELOVE20 at checkout. Promo ends on Sunday!

*Write drunk, edit sober! I bought the bag and then came back to edit today’s post. Priorities, you know?

Anywho….

Pits: I mentioned this sometime last week, but I’ve been feeling rather under-the-weather lately. I hate to admit when I’m sick, but I finally went to the doctor and it turns out I have an upper respiratory infection — and a middle ear infection. Cute. Reaaaal cute. Ha! That’s rendered me pretty much useless outside of my teaching schedule this week (we power through!), so I’ve got some major cabin fever built up.

Peak: On the plus side, I’ve had a lot of time to GSD (Get Shit Done) on the blog front. I’ve started working on my strategy for holiday shopping, gift guides and the like. (Remember last year’s Cyber Monday guide?) If there’s anything you’d like to see (or not see) this year, comment below or give me a shout. Who are you shopping for? What’s your budget? HOLLER!

Without further adieu, here are this week’s links:
