My Favorite Black Friday Sales

Obviously my style is changing a bit with the arrival of a new baby. My body is not the same as it used to be nor are my fashion needs. In my mission to always bring you what is relevant (and my excitement to share it with you in hopes that you will find something new to love), I've compiled this list of sales for Black Friday!

I hope you are as excited as Athena is in the picture above.

Copper Pearl bibs: They make cute, functional bibs that make my little girl look stylish when she's spitting up. (Now that is a tough job to do.) Check out their discount codes in this Instagram post!

Audrey and Olive: Everything on this site is marked down and you can sign up for their newsletter and get a code for an EXTRA 20% off! Details here! I love all of these pieces for their edgy, non-boring maternity and post-baby style. They even show you how to style everything on the site in ways you wouldn't have thought of. Easy to wear for all women of all sizes and walks of life. I just ordered faux-leather leggings and a striped dress for under $50 with free shipping too!

Aritzia: Probably my favorite shop for the last 8 years! The quality never disappoints and even though prices are on the higher side, their pieces are just so classic that you will never need to get rid of them. Discounts marked on each item in the sale section. Pieces will sell out fast!

Gap: 50% off EVERYTHING with code TGIF50! I haven't really shopped at Gap in the last few years but in the last month, I've become a reborn fan. They carry some of the only pieces that are small + long enough for my long and lean baby, as well as some of the coziest pieces I've been lounging around the house in! This sleep tee and this fuzzy robe are topping the list!

Albion Fit: Locally based here in Utah. I was pretty pumped to finally wear these leggings for the first time post-baby yesterday. You know I've loved them since before I went to their retreat this past summer because their company does so much good in this world and has the cutest workout clothes! 20% off EVERYTHING with code STUFFED. Just get on their mailing list.

ASOS: They are my favorite online shop and my most favorite time suck! You can seriously spend hours looking through their endless inventory! 30% off sitewide today with code THANKFUL. I've had my eye on this cape and think I'll be scooping it up today!

H&M: 30% off your entire purchase for 24 hrs. I'm obsessed with these little footie pants for Athena because she is too tiny for any socks to fit her little feet. Also I'm loving their super soft nursing bras and need to stock up!

Lulu & Georgia Rug Sale!!

This news is worth interrupting your weekend plans, so stop whatever it is that your doing and check out this Lulu and Georgia rug sale! I'm not kidding you, some of these gorgeous rugs are even well under $100! Amazing! It's making me a little sad that I just finished decorating my apartment and am no longer in need of any rugs. I so wish I still was though with prices and quality like these.

Better hop to shopping this sale because only lasts until Monday night. Hope you score one of these beautiful pieces of eye candy (foot candy?) for your home this weekend!

Happy shopping!

Sales From the Couch

Let me explain how my day has played out. I had big plans for the day. Vote, go to work and grade a bunch of papers for upcoming report cards, go to beauty blogger babe Laurie's event at Diptyque then head down the street to Zen Yoga Garage and to round out the day with some hot yoga.

But then I woke up.

I woke up with a killer pinch in my back which I can only assume is the product of an awesome class at Barre Code that I went to last night. I decided to call in to work as well as the entire rest of my day.

So here I am sentenced to a day on the couch, which isn't so bad but inevitably leads to me watching bad TV, such as Manhattan Love Story, where I fell in love with main character Dana's dress. This lead to a visit over to Possessionista,  because she always knows where to get all the cutest on screen looks! And there it was on the Anthro website!

While the dress of my dreams was not on sale, I did realize that today is the first Tuesday of the month which means it's fresh cuts time on Anthropologie.com! So I did what any good blogger sentenced to a couch would do, compile a list of super cute sale finds for her lovely readers. All under $100 bucks which is saying ALOT when it comes to Anthro.

Enjoy.

Ann Taylor Flounce Dress

Sometimes all you need is a good green wall (in this case a fence) and a light jacket to make a summer morning look classy. This super simple drop waist flounce dress from the Ann Taylor sale is easy to throw on and even looks good with my Shoemint Ashton sneakers! Perfect casual outfit if I do say so myself!

By the way, Ann Taylor has done it again. Their sale selection is 60% off right now. I do love when they have a sale. It almost makes me wish I had to get dressed for work again...maybe not.

Dress: Ann Taylor // Shoes: Shoemint "Ashton" (super similar for $15 here)// Jacket: H&M (old but similar style here) // Necklace: H&M // Sunglasses: Target

15 Pieces

There are so many things I want to share with you shopping wise, but my best advice would be to get out there NOW! So far I have purchased some amazing finds (I'm talking in the under-3-dollar range) at Gap and JC Penny.

I'm hoping to dig through some more boutiques as well as hit up the Bloomingdales and Saks sale sections this weekend! January is the best month for sales, and if you don't believe me go check it out for yourselves. You've been warned!

PS. those store links above take you right into the heart of the sale! Straight to the danger zone! You know you want to look...

J. Crew Sale!! 25% off Everything!!!

Last year around this time I remember being on strike, and at the same time scoring great deals at J. Crew!

Since I live pretty much in the heart of the Loop downtown, there was absolutely NO parking when strike time was over, around three in the afternoon. Instead of having to pay to park in my own neighborhood, I just drove to Old Orchard Mall in the north suburbs and enjoyed some outdoor shopping.

That time of year is upon us again - and I have found some killer deals again. All the necklaces below are gorgeous in person; I know this because I tried all of them on. I bought the one on the top right corner and got a million compliments on it.

Also those wedges I've been wanting all summer finally went on sale too. They seriously match with everything and are so comfortable!

Even better deals await you in-store so get in there before it's too late! 25% off EVERYTHING in stores and online lasts till the 25th!
