Season of Giving With Garnet Hill

December 18, 2017 by jessica 3 Comments

I’ve been a long time partner and fan of Garnet Hill, and I’m so excited to share the details of their latest promotion with you. Now through December 24, you can show your holiday spirit by sharing a photo of a beautifully wrapped gift and Garnet Hill will donate $10 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for a total donation of up to $15,000. Take part by uploading your photo to Garnet Hill’s website or posting on Instagram with the tag #StJudeShareAGift. And, as a special thank you for helping them reach their goal, you’ll be entered to win one of their luxurious cashmere wraps! (You may remember that I featured one of their cashmere wraps earlier this year. It would make the best last-minute Christmas gift for someone special on your shopping list! I especially love mine for traveling. If you order by the end of the day on Dec. 20, you’ll only need to pony up another $9.95 for two-day shipping to have it in time.)

Urban Explorer

Last week I couldn’t stop singing Paul Oakenfold’s “Starry-Eyed Surprise” as I worked on the post for my star-print dress and now I can’t stop singing T-Pain’s “Low,” specifically the “boots with the fur” lyric, for obvious reasons. (My music choices are questionable, I realize this.) Hiking boots really aren’t my thing, but I fell in love with this quasi-practical pair because of the speckled navy and tan fur. It’s such an unexpected accent on a winter staple, and it’s pretty fun to boot. (See what I did there? 😉 ) I walked a few miles in them on Saturday and they stayed comfortable and plenty warm. Admittedly, we weren’t exactly experiencing true Midwestern winter temperatures at the time, but they seem like they’ll be a good choice when I’m not actually trudging through snow.

Starry Eyed

Don’t you just love when you find an item that’s a little unexpected and yet so perfectly you? That’s how I feel about this dress. I’m crazy about the slight swing shape that skims over curves without looking oversized; and I love the sleeves, the line of buttons down the back, and the charming star print. The fact that it’s an easy-to-wear silk is just icing on the cake. I’ve already worn it four times since it arrived three weeks ago and I have a feeling that the festive starry print will be in heavier rotation now that we’re in the holiday season. The print also comes in a blouse and a skirt, which are both 25% off today!

There are a couple of additional sales I’m shopping today, including J.Crew’s Cyber Monday promotion. They’re offering 40% off your purchase, plus another 10% and free shipping until 12 p.m. EST. The one thing I really wanted is excluded (go figure), but I’m incredibly tempted to order this pink faux fur stole. It’d be darling with my emerald green winter coat. LOFT is another retailer worth browsing today with 50% off everything and free shipping on any order (a rarity with them!). I’d recommend this blouse (worn here last week) and this top. Shopping for your home instead? It’s the last day of CB2’s sale with 15% off and free shipping on orders of $29 or more. (I have and love these candle holders, which would make a great gift!) West Elm is celebrating today with major deals across its family of brands like a mere $100 for this Dutch oven — the black one is so chic!

My Uniform on “Nothing-To-Wear” Days

November 20, 2017 by jessica 2 Comments

No matter how over-stuffed my closet is, those “I have nothing to wear” days always seem to pop up. And I suspect many of you are in the same boat. Of course it’s not about a lack of clothing; it’s about not having the right clothes that fit the person you want to be that day. Over the years, I’ve realized that I reach for an iteration of this outfit on those days: skinny jeans, flats, and a patterned blouse. It’s a no-fuss outfit that I can wear to my casual office or out on the weekend, and opting for a blouse in an eye-catching pattern keeps it from being too boring. I spotted this blouse at LOFT last weekend and fell in love with the pretty eyelet detail, the ’70s-inspired colors, and the ruffled trim — and for $30, it was a no-brainer for my next nothing-to-wear moment which happened to be the very next day! If you’re looking to order it online, go with your usual LOFT size and order a size down to try, too. I went with my typical size small at the brand and it’s still roomy.

A Walk in the Park

November 6, 2017 by jessica 7 Comments

It seems that every year I’m itching to buy a new winter coat as soon as the temperature dips — and this year was no different. J.Crew is one of the retailers I typically look to when I’m itching for a cold-weather update and I fell in love with their new “swingy coat.” I love the relaxed shape, which allows for bulky sweaters, and the warm sherpa-lined hood. There’s even a button tab at the neck to keep the cold air out. In addition to this coat, I’ve ordered this faux fur jacket to try. I already have a longer furry coat in navy, but I love the waist length of the H&M version. I’m also saving up for an insulated coat from Aether. It’s a huge investment, but so worth it. Dave bought one a couple of years ago and he’s always bragging about how warm and cozy he is on even the coldest days! Either way, a new coat is such a smart purchase for your annual winter wardrobe mostly because it’s all anyone is going to see for the next six months!
