Shopbop officially kicked off its Friends & Family sale today! Save 25% on most brands with code INTHEFAM. (For the full list of exclusions, click here.) The sale launched yesterday for email subscribers, which prompted me to purchase a dress and a pair of lace-up espadrilles. (I’m obsessed with Soludos after buying my first pair last week, as seen here.) Both items should arrive today (the perk of living in the same city as the Shopbop warehouse) and hopefully they’ll find themselves snuggled into my suitcase just in time for our Friday departure!

ONE (only $48!) | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE | TEN

Also Worth Noting:

  • House of Fraser has a darling selection of dresses and four-day delivery to the U.S. (free with a £120 purchase). I fell in love with this one when I was browsing the site and love how it’s styled with a pair of sneakers.
  • A mini pineapple pitcher that’s begging for fresh blooms.
  • Another Kate Spade Surprise Sale has started! I’m loving these versatile earrings with a pink semiprecious stone (it’s two earrings in one set!) and this vibrant red purse.
  • If you are a Banana Republic card holder, you can shop the upcoming sale before anyone else. Take 40% off your purchase with code BRSPRING. Per usual, the discount is not applicable to  BR Picks, BR Monogram Collection, 100% Cashmere, leather apparel, designer collections & collaborations, and third party branded merchandise. I’ll admit that I’m a little irked by that. The only items I’m daydreaming about from the brand are this tiered ruffle dress and this tangerine one — both BR picks.
  • Save up to 80% at Tibi’s online sample sale.
  • DVF has launched her Friends and Family sale with 25% off with code FRIENDS25. New arrivals are excluded from the promotion, but it looks like it applies to sale items to make your discount even steeper. If I were made of money, I’d totally spring for this.
  • LOFT has 30% off of nearly everything. I bought — and love — this navy swing anorak. There’s a drawstring inside that you can cinch to get it more shape.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve found myself bookmarking more bright, whimsical items to (hopefully) incorporate into my wardrobe once “No Shop November” comes to a close. Although, there’s a good chance I’ll lose my resolve once Black Friday rolls around. (Last year, I couldn’t resist a beautiful Monica Vinader Baja bracelet in sterling silver and green onyx for half price.) Until then, here are some of the items catching my eye this week:

  • A bright pink coat. I wanted a pink winter coat last year, but couldn’t find the right one. It seems like such a wonderful dose of much-needed color in the dead of winter.
  • A monkey bag charm. It’s an irresistibly cute way to stow coins and other small essentials.
  • This plaid dress from Banana Republic, which I might break my shopping ban to try this month. The direction of the plaid pattern and cut of the wedding dress look flattering. I think the fringe hem looks sloppy on a tailored piece like this and I’d have it hemmed to hide it.
  • Stripes and scallops! Does it get any better than this darling swimsuit?
  • Celebratory shot glasses to take the edge off the holiday stress.
  • Lulu Frost’s oversized initial pendants.
  • A pair of hot pink pumps that would make Barbie proud. I also love these muted pink pumps.

This look is definitely more Alice in Wonderland than I prefer, but I had to put together this week’s “The Coveted” with that whimsical clutch in mind! Here’s what caught my eye this week:

  • A sweater with a removable bejeweled collar. (Wear it with the rest of your sweaters when this one is at the dry cleaner.)
  • Little rhinestone kisses. It’s a subtle touch of glam for the holiday season, a flirty hint at a New Year’s Eve kiss, and a Valentine’s Day must.
  • A rich red pout.
  • An evening bag that’s equal amounts glitzy and goofy. Basically, the perfect conversation piece.
  • This mod mini skirt. At first blush, it looks like the white portion is just a curved design, but if you take a peek at the stock image, you’ll see that it’s actually a heart. On the more affordable side of things, this mini comes in at $54 and still has a bold black and white design.
  • A modern update to the classic Mary Jane pump. While not as elegant, these have a similar design with the asymmetrical strap.
  • This playful pillow. Jonathan Adler’s Friends & Family sale runs through the end of today (save 20% with code FRIENDS2015). It’s the perfect time to stock up on holiday gifts like gold zebra dishes, chic cocktail glasses, and colorful vases.
  • Also! There’s 25% off at Shopbop through Oct. 15 with code INTHEFAM25. It doesn’t apply to Tory Burch or Ferragamo (or a few other brands), which is pretty lame. I need to rein in my spending, but I’m still considering this “creme de la creme” tray.
