 I'm not going to pretend that I don't covet budget-breaking designer things. I do it on the daily - whether flipping through magazines, checking out blogs or watching girls parade by me in their $1,500 shoes. Sigh...

But stronger than my desire to wear the latest label is the thrill I get when I can score something for way less. Unless it's a closet staple - a gorgeous coat, perfect jeans, beautiful boots, a classic handbag that I know I'll wear for years - it doesn't seem worth it to me to overwork by Visa just to help a designer build his fifth home in Capri. Just me?

July is the perfect time to score amazing deals on the season's top trends since stores are in major markdown mode. Check out these 7 luxurious-looking finds that will instantly update your wardrobe for the rest of summer...

RLR & JACOB Present CYBER SPRING

I'm currently in the midst of a full-fledged wardrobe overhaul - hell-bent on purging anything and everything that I don't love and slowly adding in some new recruits. As I whittle down the pack of needs vs. wants, JACOB asked me to check out their new Summer Collection and I have to say, I'm super tempted by what I see. 

The refreshing hues and all the lovely prints and textures are like a little trip to Morocco, minus the plane ride. I'm already a huge fan of JACOB's JERSEY line (have you tried?) but it's gotten even better this year, with loads of casual-chic pieces that I plan on living in all summer long.  But most of all, I'm really feeling all the gorgeous dresses - from casual maxis to wedding-ready frocks - and am really impressed with the attention to detail this season. I spy a half dozen dresses that I'd love to add to my wardrobe right now.

Now for the best part: JACOB wants you to get a jump on spring with their huge Cyber Spring Sale! The sale officially starts tomorrow but as an RLR reader, you can pre-shop the sale right now at jacob.ca. Yay!
