The only good thing about summer winding down? The epic sales! This is when I like to scoop up summer items to wear next year at a huge discount, plus fall finds that will carry me through the cooler months ahead. Here are some of the best Labor Day Sales to start your online shopping adventure!

As a gal with mostly neutral colors in her closet, it didn't take much arm twisting to get me on board with the snake print trend. I am, however, very picky about how much I spend on styles that tend to come and go (and maybe come back again), so sites like Amazon are the perfect way to give them a "test run" before committing a good chunk of my bank account. That's why I was pleased to find this lightweight printed cardigan for $19!

I like to think this summer has been the battle of the animal prints in the fashion world: leopard versus snake print. Personally, I'm leaning more toward snake print as my new favorite, and Cindy Crawford's maxi dress further convinced me! She keeps it casual with a pair of tan flip flops and tote bag, dressing it up just a bit with a gold pendant necklace.

Katie Holmes waves down a ride in what I'm calling the cute beach bum look! Her wide leg pants are balanced out by a skimpy black tank with tie spaghetti straps, and some spunky sparkly sandals with a subtle block heel. If you've been following the blog for a while, you're well aware of our obsession with the circle straw bag - this Lauren Conrad find from Kohl's is the perfect substitute for more expensive versions like those by Reformation or Claire V. Snag some classic black sunnies and a gold layered necklace to complete the boho vibes. Bonus? All the items we picked are under $50 each!

Supermodel Molly Sims is ready for sweater season and so are we! She looks fabulous donning some of our favorite cute and cozy items (like these perfect-for-fall palazzo pants from Urban Outfitters!)
