Hey, friends.
I’ll keep this one short and sweet, as I’m sure we’re all on the edge of our seats and hoping for a little distraction.

And speaking of, Em’s super long puffer looks like the perrrrrfect distraction to me. In case you’ve missed it, Abercrombie has the CUTEST puffers at really good prices — and Em has been wearing hers on repeat since snagging it last year. But it looks like Express came to play with some puffers, too. Ooo!! Like this cute little number Scotti found that’s reversible.
These cozy coats are bringing me a tiny bit of joy right now. (I’ll take it.) And there’s a lot more where that came from…

This week has felt like a month. It’s just…a lot. BUT it is going to be 60 degrees here today, and that is such a RARE treat for us, so we’re going to take full advantage of it. I won’t have to wear my new winter coat (check out my recent review of J. Crew’s coats… they’re ALL on sale!!), and I’m not at all mad about that. I’ll keep it short and sweet this week…hang in there guys!

Whew, friends. One of the best tweets I’ve read in the last 24 hours was “From the year that brought you ‘6 months of April’ welcome to ‘Tuesday, Part 3′” I mean, right? Lordy. OK, well the other best one was from The Daily Show, and I almost died laughing when I read it. I bet a large swath of us could recite every one of those words…
I just…can’t even. There are no words for this year. So let’s look at some rad items of clothing…Banana Republic is KILLING it right now, and if you have a Gap family brands card (GAP, Old Navy, BR or Athleta) you can save 50% plus an additional 10% right now with code BRCARDFF and 10BRCARD. Dang. I need that faux shearling lined jacket for my life. Madewell is also killing it again (we got back together if you haven’t seen!) and you can save 30% on sweaters and boots with code MUSTHAVES this weekend. I can barely focus on putting sentences together right now, so I’m gonna go over-caffeinate some more. I’m feeling saucy today…so between that and the caffeine, I have a suspicion it might result in some entertaining IG stories, friends. Follow if you dare…haha. xo

Man, Oh Man!!!! What a WEEK!!!! Difficult to know if my children were fed, since I had to maintain my focus on hitting that refresh button every 4.5 seconds for three days straight.
It is now Friday morning, though, and I’ve figured out how to hit the refresh button AND check for sales. And the good good good sales are STARTING! I’ve been waiting for these sweater pants and sweater hoodie to FINALLY be included in a Banana sale and now they’re 50% off! Two of my most-worn sneakers from Everlane…both on sale here and here. And this 100% silk cami is under $30 with the additional 40% off sale! Speaking of silk, many of you have asked about the 100% silk mask from Slip. It’s not on sale, but check out my full review here. So many good finds this week …and it’s just starting, you guys! Get Ready!

How is everyone doing?? You guys hangin’ in there? Honestly, it was a really rough week for me, mental-health wise — I was just exhausted with stress. So for the sake of my sanity — I turned my phone and laptop off Tuesday night and spent the whole week offline distracting myself in every possible way I could think of: shopping, hiking, painting, cooking, watching movies, listening to music (and the wine did wonders too).
It was the best decision I could have made — and an important reminder that life is good and everything will be OK….
Shopping the sales provided the best possible distraction because there was so much good stuff on sale! This week, take an extra 40% off already reduced items at Anthropologie, including these utility joggers that were originally $118, now only $28! Also, my favorite Athleta leggings AND joggers are now on sale. But the clear winner in my book this week was LOFT & Lou Grey Sale! This weekend only your entire LOFT purchase is 40% off and Lou & Grey is 20% off with the code: YESSS (some exclusions apply). It’s been more than minute since I’ve checked them out, and I literally loved everything that Lou Grey has. For example: these gorgeously luxe VELOUR sweatpants, need I say more?

Hey, hey it’s Friday?! Even though it feels like we have been reliving Tuesday for several days now, I have to say I am ready for this roller coaster of an election to end. I have just about exhausted all my calming resources and am just so ready for a change. TBH I am speechless and quite frankly disappointed in so many members of our country making loud noise about their disdain for social justice and equity. Even if Biden is to take the office, our country has so much work to do.
For the first time ever, I am feeling like I need a full-on weekend retreat out in the middle of nowhere. No phones, no social media, nothing but fresh air and the great outdoors. Which is why I have my eye on some outdoor gear. I already have an amazing new pair of hiking shoes and am now on the hunt for a sleeping bag and tent. I am also taking advantage of the Sephora sale, and have my favorite lotion and Rahua conditioner in my cart. Anthropologie and Nordstrom Rack both have some great sales too, and my favorite joggers are currently on super-sale! I hope you all have a weekend filled with some relaxation and time for yourself.

What is there to say about this week that hasn’t been said. As much as I’ve tried to avoid it, I’ve stayed up way too late watching the news ticker each night before retreating to bed with one of these warming lavender eye masks. A friend sent me one in a care package a while back, and I’ve been buying them in bulk for the past few months. SO soothing.
Other fun distractions? Oprah announced her 2020 Favorite Things (though it’ll all pale in comparison to Biden taking Pennsylvania — the ultimate gift come onnnnnn). I feel like her list has become a bit diluted in recent years, but I’m positively giddy to see that The Wrap Life (Black-owned business) made it onto it! And the A Kid’s Book About… series. It’s feeling more thoughtfully curated this year, for sure.
The sales punchline this week: lots of cozy with a little stress-relieving activewear thrown in. Been waiting for these leopard leggings to come down in price, and with J.Crew’s crazy sale (yes, another one), they’re down to $20 (use code DRESSYISH). Abercrombie has 40% off parkas and puffers, too, including this year’s version of the Ultra Puffer. I wear this thing daily for fire pit hangs or coast walks, and I love the side snaps so you can get in and out of the car whilst staying zipped to your chin. Fun vegan leather and satin options this season, too. Oh dang, and I just spied this faux fur cropped moto in Anthro’s additional 40% off sale — bringing it down to $84 from $229. Not bad. Stay well, friends!

I have been looking for a long, warm, cruelty free coat for winter and I would never have thought to look at Abercrombie without your advice. And it comes in tall sizes?? Thank you!
