I’ve ridden a horse exactly one time in my life and I hated every minute of it, but that doesn’t mean I’m not fond of equestrian style so long as it stays in my closet and far, far away from the ranch. I’m kicking myself for not snagging this shirt dress with the recent Friends & Fans promotion.

Not many of us can afford a Marni necklace, but we can all snag the look of the brand’s signature ribbon-tie bauble for much less with this Topshop piece.

And, I’m happy to report that my biggest annual event (a B2B expo and the reason I haven’t been posting often over the last few weeks) went swimmingly yesterday! Months of stress and working weekends paid off and now I’m ready for another vacation. (Isn’t that always the truth?) We’re considering a long weekend in Puerto Rico, which is surprisingly affordable in November.

If there was ever a time to shop the weekly “Currently Coveting” post, this is it. Everything featured is under $175, including this gorgeous sequin skirt which is a great alternative to the one featured here. I also have my eye on this budget-friendly dress. I was originally considering it in black, but the print is awfully fun.

For those of you who don’t know about my day job, I’m an event manager for a local business magazine. We have our annual B2B expo coming up in two weeks and I’m running around like mad trying to get everything checked off my to-do list. (It’s this time of year that Dave calls me “Stressica” instead of Jessica.) Please forgive me for any unexpected silences and know that I’m finding comfort in the new Tory Burch flats I ordered on Saturday (a purchase fueled by that afternoon’s beer fest). I’m counting down the minutes until they arrive today.

Was anyone awake to see the lunar eclipse the other night? I’m bummed I missed it!

You may remember me swooning over this pajama set a couple of weeks ago. The “shell pink” ended up being too sheer for my liking and I exchanged it for the grey (er, “black pearl”). It’s all kinds of wonderful: flattering, stretchy, and keeps its shape overnight. The black set is now on its way to me too. (You’d think with names like “shell pink” and “black pearl,” VS would have been more creative with the naming the black colorway.)

I’ve been on the lookout for a more flattering pair of sunglasses and I finally ordered these. I have no idea how they’ll look, but I’ve had them pinned for months and 20% off is a pretty good incentive to give them a whirl. Fingers crossed!

Can we take a moment to drool over this sequin skirt? So pretty! This is the first year Dave and I are able to go to his company holiday party. (Read: free cocktails and an excuse to buy a fancy dress.) Usually it falls on his birthday weekend, so I’m over the moon that I finally have a chance to buy a spangly ensemble.

There are three great Friends & Family sales to take advantage of today: 20% off at Lo & Sons with a minimum purchase of $150, 25% off at DVF, and 20% off at Bloomingdale’s.
