FFF - DIY Origami flower ball, Italian courtyard dining, and Outnet $2 sale shopping

Happy Fun, Free Friday lovelies!

DIY
Though the weather here is rainy and dreary, I'm still appreciating the bright colors and flowers of spring.     But if you're like me and don't have a florist nearby, why not make your own flowers (ahh and what a fun rainy day activity)?  This flower origami ball is easy, fun, and will never wilt.  Folding origami can be so relaxing so if you have some post-tis and a lazy afternoon, why not try this project?
Otherwise, this weekend, I am...
...going to an alumni dinner held in one of the best restaurants here.  This Italian restaurant not only has great food, but also a phenomenal courtyard.

...and hoping to snag something from the Outnet's $2/£2 sale!
I unexpectedly got an entry into the sale today and am looking for something like this...


Givenchy heels


Thakoon dress


Halston clutch
Update: I really, really thought about the Thakoon (though when would I wear it?)  Instead I got this Roland Mouret micronesnil tweed coat.  It's undeniably classic though I can only wear this in cooler climates.  I really wanted an Erdem trench coat which sold out fairly quickly.  Alas, but generally the site was faster and not as crazed as last year.  Good luck to those who got tickets to the sale!


What are you doing this weekend?

Have a fabulous weekend!

FFF - $1 items at the Outnet.com on April 16

Happy Friday darlings!  I've had some internet troubles but at least it's still Friday in the US!

I don't know if you've heard but this is a can't miss deal.  Net-a-Porter's cheaper sister, the Outnet, is selling items for $1 (1 quid in the UK) on April 16.  The start time is secret and you're only limited to one item, but ooh this still sounds divine!  Imagine the savings but choose wisely!

RSVP here before April 11.

These could be possibilities:
Halson bag
Bottega Veneta brooch

Alberta Ferreti dress

More details here.

Have a fabulous weekend!
