My Black Friday Damage + 7 Sales You Can’t Miss

November 26, 2016 by jessica 4 Comments

Black Friday Sale Shopping

Yesterday, I insisted that there was just one item I wanted to buy this weekend: a metallic silver Rebecca Minkoff bag. At the time I scheduled that post to go live on Friday, I didn’t know if the bag would even go on sale. Well, it did. And I ordered it. And then I shopped a few additional sales. :: blush :: Seriously, I have zero willpower when it comes to holiday shopping for myself! I purchased a Rachel Roy sequin dress to wear to Dave’s company holiday party in a couple of weeks. (It’s also available here and in plus sizes here and here.) I also ordered a pair of jeans since I only have one pair that I actually wear and it seems practical to own a second. And, finally, a set of floral pajamas by Ted Baker. It’s surprisingly difficult to find short and cami sets with a triangle top. I like having the seam under the bust for a bit of support and shaping.

7 SALES TO SHOP TODAY

  1. Anthropologie – 30% off sitewide with code LETSGO – Buy a full skirt for yourself, unicorn booties for a baby girl, and a bronze French press for your most caffeinated friend.
  2. Jenny Bird – 30% off sitewide with code THEBIG30 – My favorite jeweler of the moment is having an incredible sale. Buy the oversize earrings that I have and love, dainty ear jackets that still pack a punch, and an eye-catching mod cocktail ring.
  3. J.Crew – 40% off sitewide with code HOLIDAY – I’ve managed to avoid this sale so far, but I’m not sure if my resolve will last. I love this striped v-neck sweater for weekend wear and this pajama set for Christmas morning. Shopping for others? These socks were a hit last year and you can’t go wrong with a plaid scarf for men or women.
  4. Crate & Barrel – 15% off full-price items with code SAVE15 – I received four of these bowls last year and they’re our most often used kitchen item. The size is perfect for pasta and rice dishes. These sleek Moscow mule mugs are great for your cocktailing friend and I love this rustic serving board and cheese knives for the hostess.
  5. Truffle – 25% off full-price items with code GETGIFTING – I’ve been toying with the idea of getting this TSA-approved pouch for flights and I love this leather-trimmed version for keeping things organized in a tote bag.
  6. Lele Sadoughi – 20% off sitewide with code GETITNOW – It’s almost impossible to narrow down Lele’s incredible gems to just a few favorites! I love these earrings (I have them in white), this oversize ring, and this tassel necklace which will get a ton of wear next summer.
  7. Ann Taylor – 50% off sitewide with code CELEBRATE – This blouse! This dress! This faux fur stole!

The Weekend Guide

November 25, 2016 by jessica 2 Comments

The Weekend Guide 11.25.16

I don’t know about you, but I’m struggling to move today thanks to yesterday’s overindulgence in stuffing and pie. I don’t know if I even have the energy (or interest) to whip out my credit card and participate in the Black Friday shopping circus! The day after Thanksgiving usually turns into a shopping extravaganza for myself and I have my eye on exactly one item: a metallic silver bag that I’ll wear all winter. Everything else? Eh. I’d rather save my money for a trip abroad next year. Okay, and the clothes to outfit that excursion. (There are fantastic deals on spring flights to Amsterdam from Chicago!) What about you? Tell me what you bought so I can live vicariously through you!

LEARN
Historians differ on how to archive fashion. Do they opt for a designer’s untouched artistic vision or the influence of a client on a designer’s work?

CONNECT
This handy map includes the WiFi passwords for airports all over the world.

BAKE
Even if you’re reeling from Thanksgiving, loosen that belt buckle another notch and head to the kitchen to whip up a batch of peppermint mocha cookies.

SIP
The next 30 days are all about sugar and high fat items. May as well add a salted caramel white Russian to the mix.

REFRESH
I’m always amazed at how quickly a coat of dark paint transforms a room. I’m loving this bathroom refresh.

WATCH
I hope you’re spending the day glued to Gilmore Girls on Netflix. I won’t have a chance to binge it until Sunday and I hope it’s not as uncomfortably awkward as the promotional posters were! I loved reading this overview of seasons three and four from two people who hadn’t watched the show before. (Seriously, Dean was the worst.)

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Added a little color this winter.
Shared a gift guide for the coworkers you actually like. (Tee hee.)
Rounded up ten of the prettiest polishes for winter.
Celebrated Thanksgiving.

And if you’re curious about the items above, I’m wearing a J.Crew sweater, Julie Vos ring (c/o), and a Monica Vinader ring that was a Black Friday gift to myself last year. The mug is an old one from Target. I’ll be spiking its contents later today. 😉

Top 10 Winter Nail Colors

November 23, 2016 by jessica 4 Comments

nail-polish-winter

I picked up this nail color last weekend and I’m smitten with the dove grey hue that’s accentuated with just a hint of shimmer. While I’ve only worn it for a couple of days, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that this will be my go-to nail polish of the season. If grey seems a little humdrum for the holidays, I rounded up nine additional winter shades that will win you over this season!

TOP: Essie “Go With The Flowy” | YSL “Carmin D’Or” | Marc Jacobs “Gatsby” | Eve Snow “Skyler” | Nails inc “Alexa Camo”

BOTTOM: Smith & Cult “Shattered Souls” | Essie “Satin Sister” | Chanel “Canotier” | Ciaté London “Girl With a Pearl” | Dior “Nuit”

Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
