by Leave a Comment

Since I’m nowhere near 10k followers on Instagram to quality for the swipe-ups, bear with me as I share this sale alert the “old-fashioned” way” with a blog post since this one one was too good to pass up.

With code WEEKEND, you can save and additional 50% on these classic leather ballet flats. The black, brown or red are $25 or less and have most sizes available right now. It’s a bit more for the silver, navy, and gingham with fewer sizes remaining. Make sure you’re a rewards member for free shipping, too! I just place an order for the brown pair!

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

by 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 11.18.16

MAKE
My favorite part of Thanksgiving, next to the stuffing and the pumpkin pie, are the appetizers. This recipe for figs with bacon and chile looks absolutely decadent.

LEARN
As much as I love oversize statement earrings, I don’t wear them very often because of my [probably irrational] fear of becoming an old lady with sagging earlobes. Well, it looks like fillers and anti-aging care might be able to take care of that.

SHOP
Dave is still pushing for a holiday trip somewhere tropical. I’m on the fence mostly because I’m a sucker for tradition, but if he happens to convince me, I’m definitely snagging this swimsuit for the getaway. Even better, it’s part of J.Crew’s weekend sale with 30-40% off holiday-ready items with code FESTIVE.

MEET
Artist Hank Schmidt in der Beek travels to majestic outdoor locations only to paint the pattern on his shirt.

WATCH
If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to make me smile, it’s a Pixar film.

STOP
Don’t make these common mistakes when cooking your first Thanksgiving dinner. And, if you need inspiration for the menu, head here for a roundup of recipes.

SHOP THESE SALES
It’s clearance time at The Outnet. I picked up this neoprene pleated skirt in grey.
Pick up a Buried Bauble at Bauble Bar and save 25% on the rest of your order.
Save 50% off select items at Ann Taylor. I’m loving this cable-knit sweater.
Save up to 75% at Neiman Marcus’ clearance sale. This party dress is both adorable and affordable.
Take 50% off one full-price item at Banana Republic and 40% off the rest of your purchase.
There’s a flash sale at Pottery Barn just in time to snag a bar cart.
Save up to 70% off resort styles from Calypso St. Barth. How fun is this bag?
If you’re a Gap credit card holder, you can save 50% off  your purchase.

The Weekend Guide 11.04.16

Happy Friday! It’s been entirely too long since I’ve blogged regularly, much less put together “The Weekend Guide” for your perusal. As usual, September and October were two stress-filled months at work that left me with little personal time and the last thing I wanted to do during those fleeting moments was sit in front of a computer! Happily, though, that’s behind me and our little getaway to Kentucky and Tennessee left me refreshed and eager to dive back into the blog.

EAT
Airline food gets a bad rap, but it’s not all terrible. Learn more from an in-flight dining critic who has a surprisingly captivating Instagram feed of his own mile-high dining experiences.

VOTE
Election Day on Nov. 8 is fast approaching! Make sure you’re prepared with the location of your polling place and what will be on your ballot.

STOP
The word fiancé is falling out of vogue with Millennials.

LEARN
Kate Spade’s Cameron Street collection quickly became a huge success when it debuted earlier this year. The brand is focusing on the collection’s popularity this holiday season with more inventory and accessories like interchangeable straps to personalize the handbags. (Personally, the last thing I need is a new purse, but I’ve considered this strap to add a little pep to my black bucket bag. Although, I’ll probably go with this Rebecca Minkoff option instead.)

SWIPE
I’d love to live in a world of cashless transactions and there’s a few countries already on their way to making that a reality.

SIP
With a combination of gin, grapefruit, and maraschino, this 1930s-inspired cocktail is on my must-sip list for the weekend. Cheers!

SHOP THESE SALES
Spend $40 at Bauble Bar and get a free choker.
Cozy up this winter with Mongolian lamb pillows now 30% off until Monday.
Take an extra 50% off sale items at Loft. (Loving these sunglasses and this LBD.)
Full-price dresses are now just $75 at Ann Taylor! (This looks like something you’d find at Tory Burch.)
Take an extra 30% off sale at Kate Spade with code CHEERS. (The gingham flats are my favorite.)
Cold-weather favorites and sale items are an extra 30% off at J.Crew.
Take 40% off regular-price items at BR. (This is the best turtleneck sweater for layering.)

EARLIER THIS WEEK
I went to Nashville and pet a kangaroo.
