November Sales

There’s some really great sales this month leading into the holiday season so I’ll be rounding up some of my top pics that are versatile for yourself or would make for a great gift. I’m always eyeing something that can be personalized or made practical enough for whomever you have on your shopping list.

I’ve been really loving cozy fleece pullovers, especially on weekends and during errands. I can’t ever get enough of over the knee boots since they’re not just fashionable but for myself, they keep my legs warm! It’s always hard for me to find a pair that will stay up on my thin calves and are tall enough for my longer legs (human giraffe over here) so when I find a pair that works I can’t hold back.

Living in NYC I literally am walking every day all day so finding shoes that are comfortable, yet fashionable are always on my radar. I’m careful of the ones I splurge on and try to wear them only for date nights or special occasions. I feel like I go through shoes so quick here but really try to weatherproof the winter ones. This Marc Fisher pair are a great quality but still less than the Stuart Weitzman style (which is the only kind that stay up! :( and I love the shape of the toe and the colors it comes in.

This season I’ve seen some of my long term favorite sweaters marked down especially over the holidays and the softer the sweater and the longer the tunic are perfect for me! This cashmere one I have LOVED for so long and was excited to see it on sale. So much so I have it in my shopping cart and debating a neutral or pop of color again. It is super soft & warm without being too heavy and the perfect length for leggings. I have a bright magenta one I’m wearing here from a few years ago. If you take good care of the cashmere, especially when packing away seasonal clothes it will last. The Laundress shampoo for this fabric works so well too.

My new obsession for a little statement coat for winter that’s a less traditional is this lavender wrap coat! I LOVE the color because it stands out from my other winter neutrals and I was able to find it marked down both here and here. It runs true to size and the color is much richer in person with a long length. Also on sale is this pear & grey version that I think is gorgeous and would be perfect for dressing up a simple outfit or pairing with a dress.

Many of the sales are offering up to 40% off! Much of which will most likely be further marked down for Black Friday. So book mark this post so you can retrieve it quickly while shopping. Be sure to click on the different photos in the widget below for details one each sale. Happy Shopping!

Valentine's Love for Entertaining

Happy February friends! If you’re someone who loves the over indulgence of chocolate and candy galore and ready to treat yourself or share your love with friends this February I have some hostess and gifting ideas for you! 

So taking a few steps back I can’t help but get nostalgic over the little metal mail boxes in the dollar section at Target that caught my eye. Now I wish when I was a kid I had that adorable box on my desk when it was time to exchange Valentine’s and treats with everyone! And working in a school definitely makes me constantly think of those moments and smile when I see students exchanging their valentines. So if we exchanged with our friends as kids to share love why not keep the tradition going ?! Whether single or taken I’ve rounded up some fun and creative ways to show your appreciation for good friends and loved ones - and to treat yourself. I personally just enjoy a night in and pampering myself with spa products. My husband and me usually do something low key like cooking in together then seeing a movie. However, I think this year he may be working so I have a "galentine's" night planned with one of my best friends. 

A lot of these items I'm sharing are great for a hostess, a teacher, or a friend.
