Now that winter is beginning to turn to spring and the holidays are fully, definitively over, I'm starting to turn my focus from buying gifts for others to investing in myself. After all, it's difficult to champion self-care when your clothes are old or ill-fitting, when your beauty cabinet is rapidly emptying, or when your apartment décor is feeling less like a home and more like a quick landing pad. 

And, of course, when I invest in my wardrobe, body, and home, I want to do it right, with goods that will last for years to come, saving me money in the long-term and minimizing my eco footprint in the process. That's why I'm thrilled that Net-a-Porter is launching another of its popular Spend to Save sales, which are predicated on the idea that the more you buy, the more you save. During the sale, you can save 20 percent off every $500 you spend, or 25 percent off every $750 you spend. All you need to do is use the code SPENDTOSAVE at checkout, and you're golden.

For a little inspiration to get your creative juices flowing, scroll on to discover the sale items currently on my wishlist. 

Apparel

When you think Net-a-Porter, you probably think fashion, and with good reason: The retailer hosts over 800 luxury brands, from heritage names like Chloé and Saint Laurent to more contemporary knockouts like Agua Bendita and Hunza G. Plus, Net-a-Porter highlights pioneers in sustainability through its curated NET SUSTAIN collection, which allows shoppers to choose from products that consider waste reduction, ethical methods, and animal welfare in their production. 

Accessories

Let's face it: No good outfit is complete without accessories. I've crafted entire outfits around a pair of shoes, a piece of jewelry, or a statement bag, and it's an incredibly fun exercise in creativity. Whether you're looking for your next statement piece or simply searching for a staple, the accessories below are bound to become part of your core collection.

Beauty

Luxury should extend to your skincare, too. When you choose well-made, high-quality skincare and makeup, you're making a long-term investment in the health of the largest organ in your body—your skin. Personally, my skincare routine is one of my favorite parts of my day, and that's partially because I love the look, feel, and impact of the products I use. 

Home

Net-a-Porter's commitment to luxury doesn't stop at fashion and beauty. The immense online marketplace can also furnish the apartment of your dreams, and during this sale, there are quite a few home fragrance items, in particular, that count toward your Spend to Save balance. Scroll on for scents that have the power to uplift, relax, and invigorate.
