Black Friday Sales

Hellooo Black Friday!  It’s one of the busiest shopping days of the year and discounts are deeper than ever.  If you’ve been eyeing a major splurge, want to get your holiday shopping out of the way or just need to stock up on winter essentials, now is the time to strike!

Gearing up for the holiday party season?  I love this feathery fringe skirt or this red hot bow-back gown as major show stoppers.  Or you could go for something a little more demure with this ice blue drop waist dress.  All options are 50% off today!

If you’re in a need of a solid winter coat, all of my favorites are 30% off today.  This cocoon coat is at the top of my list, but I’m also love the bright bold options of this classic peacoat.  I’m also planning to pull the trigger on my very first puffer coat … ever.  I’m not messing around this winter.

With a ton of cute gift ideas at 50% off today, you can definitely conquer your holiday shopping list early.  I just bought this faux fur infinity scarf for myself, but it would make for the perfect gift for anyone!  I also love this fair-isle pom pom beanie and if I had my ears pierced, I’d totally rock these crystal cuff earrings.

Finally, if you’ve been saving up for a big big splurge, you can save up to 25% off on some major investments like this “it” bag, these leather boots or a classic pair of sunnies.

I can’t wait hear about your shopping scores from this weekend.  For more deals, check out my sale section list below and happy shopping!

Thank You Notes

Happy Thanksgiving friends!  James and I are celebrating in NYC for the second year in a row and while we hate being away from family during the holidays, there’s still so much to be thankful for this year.

For starters, I’m so excited to start a new chapter of life with this guy.  Wedding planning is under way (and so are all the wedding-themed Pinterest boards).  We’re headed back to Arizona next weekend to pick the venue and set the date and we can’t wait to get this party started!

This year, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a few new places like St. Martin, San Antonio and Austin and re-visit some of my favorite cities like Chicago, DC and my home sweet home of Tucson.  There’s one big adventure left this year and I can’t wait to spend Christmas in Europe with my family!

Of course, there’s nothing like living, working and playing in New York City.  Even after two years of living here, I still wake up in disbelief that I get to call this place home.  Not every day is easy, but no day is the same.  I’ve learned so much while living here and I know there will be plenty more memories to come.

I’m also thankful for the people in my life — my friends and family — many of whom came down to Tucson for a surprise celebration for engagement a few weeks ago.  I’m so lucky to have you in my life!

And finally, I’m thankful for you — for following along, for inspiring me and for making blogging something I love to do. It’s not easy to manage on top of everything else going on in life, but it’s one of my favorite things I look forward to every day.

I hope you get to spend today with your loved ones and the rest of the weekend scoring some major steals while shopping.  Stay tuned for a huge list of Black Friday sales tomorrow, but in the meantime, I’ve rounded up a few weekend deals that are already under way.  Happy Thanksgiving and happy shopping!

Navy Sweater & Yellow Floral Pencil Skirt

It’s been a while since I’ve rocked the pencil skirt … mostly because I tend to associate them with a conservative, buttoned-up vibe.  In my past life, I came from a world of skirt-suits, where the options were black, gray and maybe a navy (if you were feeling wild).

Navy Sweater & Yellow Floral Pencil Skirt

Suffice it to say: to get me anywhere near a pencil skirt these days, it’s got to be bright and bold like this floral print or this leafy pattern (both an extra 40% off, by the way!).  I love a printed pencil with an asymmetrical zipper sweater and a pair of ankle-strap pumps.  It’s anything but your average office wear and that’s something I can get behind.
