:: favorites lately ::

December 16, 2015

:: favorites lately ::
today I’m sharing a few things that I picked up during Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales,
 or favorite items that have been in heavy rotation lately!

this skirt is super fun for the holidays, and because of the length its appropriate for so many things from work to family to nights out.
it is 50% off again! ah-mazing.
  this is in the running for my christmas party outfit this weekend.
:: jcrew sequin skirt :: 
runs slightly small, possibly order up a size 

apparently I’m not just into a touch of leopard (this scarf is still a favorite and now on super sale for under $10!)
but I’m also into sequins right now.  I don’t know who I am,  but they both pair perfectly with navy and white stripes, so I guess this is the new me.
I also picked up this sweatshirt during their black friday sales with the sequin hem

it’s currently sold out (argh!) but they do have this girls sequin sweatshirt……
sooooooo any chance the size 16 fits like an adult small? 🙂 

 but the same thing with fringe is even cuter and on sale for 40% off
 I love, love the navy.
:: jcrew sweatshirt with fringe hem ::   40% off 
order down a size 

this grey sleeveless sweater is my newest obsession.
the open air arms really helps with chicago wintertime where you bundle up so much you are sweating uncontollably……  the side is more open so its perfect for a cute lace bra or tank. 

:: nordstrom sleeveless sweater ::  
order down a size 

for those of you with narrow calves or that always have a hard time finding fitted boots, these over the knee boots are great and nice and tight.  plus they are less than $25.  for real. 
they are cuter than in this photo, but my photo of course is just as awful so I’ll save your eyeballs 🙂 
:: forever 21 boots :: 

finally got a legit blanket scarf.  this thing is legitimately giant when you open it all the way but I love it. 
:: asos blanket scarf :: 

and the best basic ever, Striped 3/4 Sleeve Tunic that i snagged in all 3 colors, is still worn every weekend solo or as a layering piece like below.
I got the plaid scarf at Lord and Taylor last year and they still have it, currently on sale! 

:: tartan plaid scarf ::  on sale ! 
:: old navy striped 3/4 sleeve tunic ::  on sale ! 
I also really love and repeatedly wear their old navy striped sweater.
I tried two of their sweater dresses but the fabric was really cheap feeling and fit was off, so back they went. 
if any of you have good sweater dress recommendations, comment or email my way! I have been on the hunt! 


oh and just because…….

:: gift guide : for her ::

December 15, 2015

:: gift guide : for her ::
there are still a few days left to finish up your Christmas shopping! 
and luckily all the good sites still have free shipping by christmas day 🙂 
so I need to finally finish everything since we are doing our first Christmas celebrations this weekend! yikes! thank goodness amazon prime and I are BFF’s. 
  
first up, some personalized finds for the ladies in your life.

personalized whiskey rocks  //  initial Y necklace  //  double initial necklace // travel jewelry case
          engraved coordinates cuff  //  leather tassel key chain  //  monogram earrings
initial jewelry box   //  initial wrap around ring  //  catch-all tray



next up, some items for the home.
The SHUGUH sugar bowl is too darn cute, and the audrey at home memoir/cookbook/coffee table book would be such a great gift for so many people.


whale bookends  //  sugar bowl  //  brass wishbone

initial cheese board with hidden cheese knives  //  audrey at home book  //  marble + wood cutting board
pineapple ornament  //  striped marble serveware  //  copper canisters


I also thought this chalkboard table runner would be fun for kids, 
slash a dinner party with immature people like myself and my friends. 



{chalkboard table runner}


and a few more finds for her…… 

monogrammed throw blanket 
needlepoint pillow (other cities available!)  //  mini blue tooth speaker
polka dot apron




and I had to sharethese ice cream koozies are the perfect under $10 stocking stuffer.  too cute!

perfect for your lazy as hell friend who is all about netflix and chill 🙂  

ice cream is cheaper than therapy
sundae funday
don’t have a meltdown


and totally unrelated, 
I have been forgetting to add this to a post somewhere for weeks,
but when I saw this challah menorah on Oprah’s Favorite Things (and just saw again on Amazon)
my first thought was definitely something else……. 

liiiiiike…..perhaps make the photo you are using one of the ENTIRE menorah, because only showing part of it makes it look even more phallic.

December 2, 2015

:: wishlist wednesday ::
lusts for the week……. 
  
because sales are still going strong, and remember ladies: 



liiiiiiike, as of 10 PM tuesday night as I type this post, 
these beauties are 40% off and have only a few sizes left!! HURRY!!! 
I know what you’re thinking….
(well….. I thought a lot of things so perhaps I don’t) 
what animal is that? a miniature dog breed of some sort? 


:: quite possibly the ugliest shoes in the world ::

they call them a “slip on loafer” .  SERIOUSLY? PEOPLE? 
EVEN ON SALE, THEY OVER $1,000 AND LOOK LIKE YOU KILLED  
BETSY JOHNSON AND A SHIT-ZU AND PUT THEM ON YOUR FEET? 
how are these even shoes? 
the best part is the reviews ….. “5 stars, thoroughly modern indeed”. go read it.  
or sit and wonder why the hell I take the time to scroll through to read the reviews on hideous thousand dollar “shoes”.

anyways……. 

you know I love a bucket bag, and you can’t beat the price and the multiple color options on this one.
:: urban outfitters bucket bag :: only $54 

:: long sleeved navy dress :: under $100

:: elbow patch sweater ::   multiple colors, under $60

and finally, 
express is having 40% off of all of their outerwear! 
perfect timing with the cold and snow arriving back in Chicago. womp womp. 

the fur collar on this coat removable, 
making it a great 2 for 1 option! 
:: removable faux fur coat :: 

:: down filled toggle puffer coat :: 

:: leather jacket ::   available in 6 colors, under $60 

:: black and herringbone hooded jacket :: 

:: classic trench :: 

for those of you cooler than me….. 
:: faux fur coat :: 


alright I need to get back to RHoBH premiere night! 
and continuing crying over Yolanda and David Foster divorce news……
why…..WHYYYYY……

:: Gift Guide : Comfy Cozy Gifts ::
The Christmas season is upon us!   
Well …… starting tomorrow…..
 because Thanksgiving is the start of Christmas?
or the appropriate time to start celebrating Christmas and decorating? 
image via nordstrom holiday catalogue 

For the first Little Things Gift Guide, 
I have something warm and cuddly for those cold winter nights,
 both out on the town and at home.

first up, some items to keep you looking fashionable while keeping you warm. 
also, to help hide your bad hair day. 

cable knit with faux fur mittens  // cream hat with pom // bow beanie
fair isle pom hat  //  colorblock zip gloves  // faux fur infinity scarf (only $20!)
ivory infinity scarf  // bow beanie  // tory burch gloves 

a throw blanket is the best gift for absolutely anyone – a perfect gift idea for the person that is so tough to shop for. 
the cable knit fleece lined throw below was possibly my favorite purchase last winter.  
a day on the couch being lazy with your DVR is not complete without it. 
cableknit fleece lined throw  //  plaid throw
faux fur throw   // navy alpaca throw 

and finally, the perfect jammies to lounge in! 
dotted night shirt   //  navy short pajamas  //  gingham 
gingham robe //  plaid top + bottom set  //  sleep shirt
hope you all have a safe trip home to see your families if you are traveling today!! 
or a safe night out if you are counting the minutes until drinks with friends tonight! 

happy black wednesday!!!
