Happy Monday friends, Cyber Monday that is! If you didn’t get everything you wanted during the Black Friday deals, you lucked out because many of the Cyber Monday deals are just as good if not better. Since I spent Black Friday buying for myself (#guilty), I plan on finishing up my holiday shopping today for everybody else! If you don’t see a retailer below that you are interested in, please let me know and I will get it added to the list. Happy shopping friends and may the (sale) odds be ever in your favor 🙂

Black Friday Pre-Sales

November 23, 2016

Black Friday Pre-Sales

Did you know that there are many stores that already opened up their Black Friday doors to the online community? That’s the beauty of technology! Several items that I have been eyeing are already starting to sell out so I wanted to make you aware of these deals so you aren’t waiting around until Friday only to find that everything you want is out of stock.

While there are many stores that are already running deals, the below shops are some of my “big ticket item” favorites from the pre-sales!

Nordstrom– 20% off select items

Shopbop– 15% off $200, 20% off $500, 25% off $800 with code GOBIG16

J Crew – 40% off with code HOLIDAY

Tory Burch – 30% off with code THANKS

Old Navy, Gap , Banana Republic – 40-50% off everything

Thanksgiving Plans

November 21, 2016

Buffalo plaid + distressed denim + over the knee boots

Photography by: Banavanue

It’s finally Thanksgiving week and the count down is on for turkey, stuffing and NPD dessert. To this day I have no idea what NPD stands for but the mystery makes it that much more appealing. It’s pure goodness and that’s all that I require to know.

Every year my family wakes up early on Thanksgiving Day and heads to Dallas. My dad’s side of the family is from there and it is usually the one time of year that we get to see everyone. We all (I’m talking about 30 people or so) gather at my great aunt’s house and will spend all day here. Since I like to think of Thanksgiving as a marathon and not a sprint, I brace myself to eat all day long and veg out accordingly. I admittedly usually eat at least 3 meals and will continue to snack all day. No shame in my stuffing game 🙂

Thankfully I have a family that enjoys wine as much as I do so it makes dealing with watching football all day a little more bearable. About half of the fam will go to the Cowboys game. I have gone a few years now but it is usually a game time decision on who will go. Not going to lie, most of the time the couch wins out and I stay home to cuddle up next to a big glass of wine.

Once every one returns home, there is almost always a few games of poker. Ever since my sisters and I were little, my dad would each give us $20 to play. To this day, that tradition remains. I have yet to win, but I’m feeling a little lucky this year so I’ll keep you guys updated on any poker winnings.

The day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, we are the crazies that battle the mass crowds. Since this is really the first year that I will also be blogging while there, it should be very interesting. Since I find out about all of the sales early, I will be updating you guys first on the best sales out there so make sure to be checking the blog and my Instagram for updates.

I am only working 3 days this week so I am a happy girl. I hope all of you have a great week and enjoy your Thanksgiving break with your loved ones! If you have yet to decide what to wear, I shared 4 outfit ideas earlier this week that should be able to help you out! And if there is any other crazies out there that plan on battling the crowds for Black Friday, may the odds be ever in your favor 😉

4 Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

November 18, 2016

*Shop any of the above looks by clicking on the item in the above collage or the direct links below. *

We are getting so close to Thanksgiving that I wanted to share with you all a few different outfit ideas that are perfect for almost any type of occasion. Wether you plan to chill on the couch all day or are heading to the Cowboys game, these 4 different outfits are suited for the the gal that wants to be casual and cute!

Outfit 1

Headed somewhere chilly? This fur vest has your name written all over it. I love mixing textures and patterns so I highly suggest wearing a fun plaid or striped top under your fur vest. This outfit could also easily be worn with leggings just upsize in your top!

Outfit 2

You can’t go wrong with these basics especially when you just want to be comfortable for a long day of stuffing yourself with good food. I own this striped top and am probably going to buy it in a few more colors because it is THAT cozy! The puffer vest and riding boots polish off this look and add a little extra warmth.

Outfit 3

This is another super casual outfit choice that leaves plenty of room for seconds. These pants fit more like leggings and are the perfect amount of distressed. I own this vest and receive a million complements every time I wear it, not to mention I love how light weight that it is! This is perfect for those of you that are looking at 65-75 degree weather on turkey day!

Outfit 4

Looking for something a little nicer but is still going to leave room for that food baby you are already anticipating? This sweater dress comes in 3 colors and looks so cute with a blanket scarf and over the knee boots. If you are going somewhere a little warmer, ditch the blanket scarf and add booties instead.

On a related note, don’t forget to check out my Holiday Shop tab on the blog for all of your holiday needs including gift guides, items for the home, Christmas pajamas (make sure you stock up early because these ALWAYS go out of stock by beginning of December), and so much more. The favorites tab is also another option that has tons of options for Thanksgiving apparel as well as items that you can wear all through the season. These tabs are located at the top, left of your screen in the Holiday Shop section.

Be sure that you are checking back as I update and add to these tabs every single day. I will also have all of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales listed early here as well as some of my top picks. If you aren’t a fan of fighting the crowds on these two days but want to get ahead on your Christmas shopping or are just looking for some great deals, make sure you are following along on the blog and Instagram to get live updates on the best sales!

Shades of Suede

November 16, 2016

Fashionable work wear for women featuring shades of Suede: Suede leggings + pleated top + suede booties

Top: Ellie Kai | Leggings: Express | Booties: Vince | Purse: Goodnight Macaroon | Earrings: Bauble Bar

While suede for the cooler weather is nothing new, albeit you didn’t know how many shades of suede were actually out there to choose from! Retailers are making just about every clothing piece, head to toe, in some form of suede. I’ve had fun this season bringing suede into my every day attire as well as my work wardrobe for a little bit of unexpected spice!

Today’s ensemble is featuring two of my favorite suede shades, navy and gray. These navy suede leggings have become my best friend for this cool weather we’ve been getting. You know that I am all about the clothing items that are both fashionable and comfortable and these mark both of those boxes. I love them so much that I plan on getting these in a couple more colors such as these and these. I love that I can wear them to work and out. When you find pieces like that, you stock up!

Since gray suede is a more neutral color, you will find many boots, jackets and purses in this color. I bought this pair of booties last year and this purse (which is an amazing dupe of the Chloe bag) this year. Both have become closet staples and go with absolutely everything.

To continue on with several other colors that I have seen popping up, I have rounded up my favorite shades of suede in 5 different color options. If you do not own anything suede yet, I highly suggest buying a jacket. You can never go wrong with a suede jacket and every girl needs one.
