Before we hop into a little life distraction with some sales, we want to send all of our love to everyone affected by the California fires. Go here to see how you can actively help. A friend of mine just did a closet clean-out to donate clothes, and I think that’s a great place to start.
The 5 Best Sales This Weekend
- Athleta – $20 off $100, $50 off $200, $10 off $300+. The fleece-lined leggings S wears for running in the cold, while Linz wears this baselayer + this fleece sweatshirt.
- Saks – 70% off designer sale. Shana’s matching set that easily mixes and matches with other pieces hit the the sale (this sweater + these pants).
- GAP – extra 50% off sale + 40% off reg prices. These are the coziest sweats + a few of us have been loving this CashSoft sweater (that comes in some great color options). S is eyeing these designer-esque jeans, too.
- Reformation – up to 70% off sale. Abby and I have been peeking at Amy’s long-time fave collared cashmere sweater + we’re always loving Ref’s little tops like this one.
- Nordstrom – This is the seriously cool jacket that stopped us in our tracks, and the easy street Free People sweater is a long-standing fave (that’s the perfect shape + crop for layering over dresses, too).

Hey, hey Friday. What a world. All we truly have is each other and that is what I’m using to have the energy to keep on keeping on right now. Love to everyone who is experiencing such loss. The fire and ice of it all right now is just well, a lot. Love and distraction is what I can send at this moment…and if you haven’t read All Fours by Miranda July…wow. At first I was a little put-off, then intrigued, then entranced. Highly recommend (just stick with it.)
As far as sales today, Athleta has Buy More, Save More going on. It’s a great time to refresh the ole workout wear. And over at anthropologie, is it weird that I’m low key obsessed with this? It’s not typically my style but love…ooh and also this top, but only when it’s unbuttoned some.
ONE: I’m stoked to report that my new favorite ‘jeans’ are on sale at Neiman’s, for over $50 off. Yep, Rag & Bone Miramar that I’ve loved for a while but in a rad gray wash and straighter leg cut called the Shea. Obsessed. Full outfit post is coming very soon, but highly recommend these babies. True to size. I typically have to size up in R&B but not on these. Use code NEWYEAR. Wearing a 30 above but swapped for the 29.
TWO: The adidas Nora sneakers are on sale I find these more comfortable than the Sambas. Love the Sambas for the look with wide leg jeans and pants, but the Nora are more versatile, IMO and have a little more supportive sole. TTS. Love the navy/gum sole combo.

The week back to school after the holidays is always an adjustment—early bedtimes, tears, and trying to ease back into routines. But this week, it’s hard to focus on those everyday struggles knowing the unimaginable devastation happening in California right now. The apocalyptic scenes, the lives forever changed in an instant, and the staggering losses are impossible to comprehend. It’s a sobering reminder of how fragile everything is and how life can feel so normal for some while completely upending others. Thoughts and prayers alone aren’t enough—we need to find ways to support those impacted. My heart goes out to everyone affected.
On a completely different note, I’ve been on the hunt for waterproof boots that are both stylish and high enough to work with flare or wide-leg jeans—and these might just be the perfect pair (plus, they’re over 30% off!). Speaking of flare and wide-leg jeans…OMG THESE ARE AMAZING. I’m working on a full post about them, but I had to share while they’re 25% off! (I sized down to a 27, which I typically do with high-waisted jeans.)
jumpsuit (s) | coat (s) | jeans (27)
ONE: When I read the reviews saying this Farm Rio jumpsuit ran short in the legs, I thought, finally, something that might work for me. And it does. I love it. There’s a hook-and-eye closure at the top if you want more coverage (I left it open), and the fabric has a nice weight to it. Best part? It’s over 50% off!
TWO: I completely agree with the reviews on this long puffer coat—it’s insanely warm (one reviewer said it’s even warmer than her North Face coats) and so comfortable. The snap-adjustable side vents make it easy to sit or move around, and the thumbholes are a detail I love—they keep your hands warm, your sleeves in place, and just make the whole thing feel extra cozy. (It’s over 35% off right now and also comes in black, a gorgeous espresso color, and a lovely dark green. Runs slightly small—I’m in a small here, and there’s still room for layers underneath!)

I’ve spent all early morning (like, from literal first light in the sky) outside in the snow with my kid! We have SNOW! Our kiddo hasn’t experienced this since he was a chubby one year old waddling around in northern Michigan winters. It’s not quite packable snow yet, but that hasn’t stopped us from making multiple snowmen (it’s more of a sculpting process than a roll, haha). I can hear kids all throughout the neighborhood squealing with delight in their yards…wow, is that healing.
Noteworthy sales: The cardigan described as a “bathrobe” that I’d been eyeing all last season is on sale (despite those reviews being negative, they’re making me want it even more, lol). I can’t help but feel like this lace trim top would make for the most stunning + chic bathing suit coverup for spring break (pair with a long skirt, linen pants, or cut offs!). And the best for last: One of my fave sporty sneakers is fully stocked + on sale in the prettiest color.
quilted jacket (M) | jeans (28 long)
ONE: One of my favorite cozy jackets – and easily one of my most exciting finds of last year – is ON SALE in multiple colors. And sizes are already being scooped up. While my red shade is long gone, I did spy a few left – and on sale – over here. It’s huge, I’m in a medium (typically a large) and it fits quite oversized still. Size down!
TWO: I’m wearing the same jeans in both photos above, because they are prettttty much the main jeans I’ve been grabbing lately. They’re the perfect mix of a little baggy but not too much, with a tapered bottom that gives my favorite element of a barrel jean without the exaggerated sides of a barrel jean. If Amy was a jean…it would be this pair.

You know, I really love living in Michigan, in the summer. Then, all of the sudden, it’s January and I’m like: my bones hurt. But my bff and I are going to a Taylor Swift Candlelight concert at the GR Symphony tonight and I am very excited. VERY. The dress I ordered won’t arrive in time so now it’s back to the drawing board. My heart is with friends and family in the L.A. area right now.
On another note, I need to walk back a recommendation from last week. I linked to a cute flowery swim cap from Amazon (not worth relinking again) but it lasted less than three total swims. I threw it out on the way out of the Y, my hair was soaked. So sorry about that.
ONE: J.Crew’s Heritage Fleece Sweatpants – Officially the comfiest sweatpants I own. I got them for Christmas and been wearing them since (in between washes). They are also 50% off right now with the code: SALETIME. Usually I don’t recommend final sale items but these are so good that I ordered a second pair. They run TTS.
TWO: Gap High Rise 70’s Flares: There is a reason a bunch of the TME team are fans of these jeans. They are extremely flattering and super comfortable. These are the second wash in this rise that I own. They are also 40% off right now.

Happy Friday, friends. What a week. I was solo parenting all week — right on the heels of a Disney vacation — and lemme just say, if you solo parent even part-time, kudos to you. I am exhausted in a way that feels almost indescribable, and yet I know it’s nothing compared to what’s happening in LA right now. We woke up to a pretty jolting earthquake this morning, too. Just California’s way of saying, “don’t worry NorCal, we’ll all go down together.” Ooof, our Earth is not happy.
Somewhat related, sales this week are, hmmm, wistful, let’s call them. I’m on a bit of a self-imposed spending freeze. Or maybe an accumulating freeze? Trying to be more mindful of existing on this planet with…less. More investment into memories, less into stuff. It’s a lovely notion but since I’m still a sucker for window shopping, here’s what I’m eyeing: these jeans (in the Jessie Wash) are very similar to a few pairs I’ve been revisiting from my own closet. The entire outfit is very early 2000’s A-lister. I’m obsessed. Along those same lines, these boots. So timeless with cool-girl vibes that aren’t too try-hard. And this top feels like the modern version of the “going out top” I’ve been seeking for the past year. I delight in the fact that it’s not cropped. It’s styled to perfection, too.
ONE: Ok, if I was going to cave on one new purchase, it would probably be workout clothes – to complement my non-existent but optimistically lusted after workout routine. The color is too gorgeous, and I really love the quality of Abercrombie’s fitness stuff. Find the workout cami here, leggings here.
TWO: This bag feels like a genuine vintage find, especially in crushed velvet. And, especially for $39. A heck of a statement piece to dress up an otherwise ordinary jeans and tee or suitiung separates. Or, of course, a slip dress. Adore.
xo,
Team TME
