Here’s to a wonderful holiday season! Cheers!

Review | Jordana Paige Handbags

December 23, 2014 by jessica 5 Comments

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]A[/dropcap] few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to try out one of Jordana Paige’s new handbags: the Cora satchel. I tend to reach for smaller bags that barely hold my essentials, even if it means storing my keys in one of Dave’s pockets. So, a large bag was a welcome addition to my wardrobe! I adore how practical this one is. The top of the bag has access to two areas: a dedicated compartment for a tablet (which I actually used for the items I wanted fast access to, like my phone and card case) and a larger compartment that has a zippered pocket inside. Unlike many satchels, this wasn’t divided right in the middle. It had a larger area which gave my camera plenty of space and a thinner pocket to the side. What makes this bag even more unique is how versatile it is. It comes with a crossbody strap and, as you’ll see in the stock photo, there’s an exterior pocket that detaches to moonlight as a clutch. (Perfect for travel, right?) The bag is made of vegan leather and comes in three colors: dark green, dove grey, and dusty rose.

I’m so impressed with all of you bloggers who are managing to balance the blog with holiday to-dos and a full-time job! I’ve definitely been slacking these past few weeks and a few days without social media is exactly what I need to refresh. Instead, you’ll find me curled up in pajamas, watching Christmas movies, and baking cookies for a couple of days before heading to my parents’ house. (Okay, yes, I’ll probably spend time catching up on everyone’s blog. It’s been far too long since I’ve commented on anything!)

Sale Alert | Shopbop & Piperlime

December 16, 2014 by jessica 8 Comments

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]here are just two things left to do on my holiday shopping list: find a few gifts for Dave and head to to the liquor store to buy bourbon for my dad. It’s fantastic timing too, given that there are a couple of incredible sales going on at Shopbop and Piperlime. I’m using this opportunity to find a little gift for myself that didn’t make it to my wish list.

Shopbop’s sale just got even more tempting! Now through Wednesday, you can save an additional 20% off already-discounted items. It’s the perfect time to stock up on cozy sweaters and coats. (There’s still a lot of winter left and you may as well keep warm in cashmere, right?) Shopbop also has free three-day shipping, so you still have time to score a pretty cocktail dress for the season’s festivities. Don’t forget to add a little sparkle and a pretty clutch in preparation for New Year’s Eve. Still have gifts to buy for the gentlemen on your lists? Head over to East Dane and enjoy the same deep discount on their sale items. Use code EXTRASALE at checkout.

Piperlime is also bringing its sale A-game just in time for the holidays with 25% off just about everything on the site with code SHOP25. This is the time you’ll want to scoop up all of those new arrivals that just caught your eye. Even though this dress didn’t quite work out for me, I loved the quality of the fabric and might try this skirt or this dress from the brand. I’m also obsessing over these scalloped edge sandals. There’s no way I can afford this coat even with the discount, but it’s so pretty to admire!
