Hey, hey, Friday! I hope everyone is staying warm out there. Whew. COLD. I’m in Northwest Arkansas with my fam, and it’s, like, 4 degrees or something. This PNW girl is just staying inside. That is all. Haha. OK, well, we’re also watching all “The Santa Clauses” episodes, “Elf,” “Christmas Vacation,” and I’ve got to slip in “The Holiday,” “Happiest Season” + “Love Actually” somewhere too. Definitely behind on my Christmas-movie watching.
Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating! Happy solstice too…it’s one of my favorite days of the year. We didn’t do our usual candlelit dinner this year, but a pizza party with my whole family was sure a nice option this time around. And now for some fun finds!
The super-hard-to-find UGG Mini’s are still in stock at Dillard’s! They’re available in classic Chestnut Brown, black and some bright shades. Some of the bright colors are also still stocked at Amazon. They’re definitely my favorite style of UGG boots. I wear them a lot more than the taller styles, and they’re cute with socks too! If you’re looking for more of a sneaker-boot, I’m loving this pair from Puma.
ONE: Backcountry is having 25% off many full-priced items, including the Teva reEMBER slipper-style sneakers I love. They’re now $59 (down from $79!) and are the perfect grab-and-go, cozy shoes. TTS.
TWO: The adorable Free People sweater I tried in my recent “10 Cute Sweaters at Nordstrom Right Now” post is on sale now. Ooh, actually quite a few of the sweaters in that article are on sale now! This one is so soft, and the stitch detail is amazing. TTS. Wearing a M here.
Happy Christmas to all who celebrate! Wishing you the coziest of weekends. Thanks for being here with us this year, friends! xoxo

First and foremost, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS going out to Cams, who had her baby!! Ahhhh, the best Christmas present ever, right?? (We love you, Cam!)
As for me, this week has been…nuts. (I’m sure it has for most of you too. #holidays.) I feel like I could sleep forever, but for now…the kids are asleep (I’ll take it), and I’m up waiting for Shana and fam to finish the drive from Detroit after their flight to Marquette was canceled (thank you, #Snowmageddon2022). I’m relying on sauvignon blanc, the Housewives (seriously, how long are they going to let this black-eye thing play out??), and some really good online sales for a necessary distraction. 😳🍷🙏🏼
I still can’t believe Christmas is on Sunday…does anyone need a suuuuper-last-minute gift? Biossance is offering 20% off e-gift cards through Christmas Eve. Aerie (my favorite place for loungewear) is offering a $25 gift card when you spend $100+ on gift cards. Nordstrom is offering $25 for $150 or $50 for $250 in gift cards. I mean…sign me up!
ONE: Still loving this cashmere turtleneck sweater…light enough to layer and in a TON of colors (the reviewers say it’s thin — it is — but I love how soft it is). These AG Ex-Boyfriend jeans are also over 30% off in a lighter wash and in a darker, non-distressed version.
TWO: Get a jump-start on Valentine’s Day with these TENCEL pajamas from Gap (SO soft) that are on craaaaazy sale. The red heart-print set is under $50 (solid-color set under $60) with codes DEAL and PERK (my pants and top are both on sale for under $25 — solid colors are $28). You have to feel these to know how comfy they are!

I finally made it to Nashville for the holiday season, and I’m so excited to spend Christmas with my family. It’s unusually cold here, and we’re actually scheduled to get snow tonight. I didn’t pack any “intense” winter coats, but I have to say that my fave jacket from Athleta is surprisingly very warm! It’s keeping me nice and toasty on my 40-degree trots with my pups. Sending you all so much love — and warmth — this holiday season! XX – Kat
ONE: This sherpa jacket from Athleta is proving to be one of my most-worn this winter season, and it’s surprisingly super-warm in very cold weather too!
TWO: OMG, 11 Honoré is one of my absolute favorite brands for luxury plus-size fashion, and right now it has a collaboration with adidas that has me swooning. These pieces are exactly what I want to add to my athletic-wear collection.

Considering most of my family is back in Michigan and Chicago in complete white-out blizzard conditions, I want to start this out by saying I wish everyone a warm and *safe* holiday weekend! I know all too well what it means to have to run to the store to “stock up on supplies.” But despite the chaos, it does feel so much like, uhm, every holiday movie, right?! Big snowstorms right before/on Christmas?! Here’s hoping it’s as romantic for everyone as it is in the movies!
As for fashion, if you’re missing skinny jeans — or, like me, wear oversized everything and are trying to balance it out — check out my latest blog post. After discovering how much I needed a slim pair of jeans in my closet, I’m now noticing so many good pairs, and these jeans under $100 look almost identical to the pair in my post (bonus, with more inclusive sizing). I’m SUPER-curious about them.
One: I can’t imagine these will stay in stock long…but I found the perfectly fuzzy shearling Birks in my fave Stone color for 25% off! Been wearing them since my little guy was, uh, actually really little *tear.*
Two: I run in this performance tee (the only performance top I’ve ever loved) every morning…not the same one, don’t worry — I own multiples (TTS, wearing medium). The white is sheer, but the rest are not. These T-shirts are soft & stretchy, have thumbholes, and feature a rubberized waist hem that keeps the shirt down/in place on your hips, so it doesn’t ride up (so good). Multiple colors on sale, along with the hoodie version too!

Julieta’s Top Sale Picks
Phew! We got out of NY this morning just in time before the storm hit. We’re now in Orlando with my husband’s sister celebrating her birthday, and it’s been so fun. She has grown kids who already have kids, and seeing my kids confused faces when we’re like, “These are your aunt’s kids and grandkids, but they’re all your cousins…” is hilarious.
ONE: 27 Edit Naturalizer Frida Bootie – I couldn’t resist the looks and amazing reviews so of course I had to order. I love the freshness of a pearl white, but they also come in black leather and a sand suede (sold out at Nordstrom but available here).
TWO: Athleta Rainier Tights – Soft brushed on the inside and super flattering on the outside. These are my favorite tights at the moment. I love to wear them with this matching mock neck top (also on sale).

Well hi, friends. Happy holidays! Here to report that no one in this house is sick *knocks heavily on wood* and we’re actually in really good shape for the holiday this weekend. On the docket today: Ernest Saves Christmas (Lana’s pick), All I Want For Christmas (my pick – it doesn’t get any better than tiny Ethan Embry and tinier Thora Birch), and I’m sure the Griswalds will work their way into the picture, too. Chris loves a classic.
Since it seems to be real winter just about everywhere but California (we’re gonna hit 60F here today in Half Moon Bay), I’ll just say stay toasty and safe out there, gang! I’ll be sipping some cocoa and living just a liiiiiiiitle bit vicariously through you all and the Snow Globe Christmas I only ever get to imagine. Merry merry!
ONE: This Free Throw Crop is one of my most-worn tops for active pursuits. It’s described as a crop top but it’s really a sports bra (or at least that’s the only way I’ve ever worn it) – supportive and a great thickness. Loving all the fun colors, and many of them are just $18 right now! Stocking up on a couple in my true size (S). A few sizes of my pants are on sale here, too, and you can find the black version here (not on sale, but under $100).
TWO: I love the vibe of this Free People Dolman Sleeve Quilted Jacket. The color, in particular, feels almost leathery but of course it’s soft and drapey and just easy to wear. Into it, and 30% off.

Welp. The first day of winter was December 21, and to celebrate, the gods have decided to send us in Michigan an approximate 24 inches of snow. I’m writing this with my fingers and toes crossed, praying for the best, because the snowstorm of the generation hasn’t started yet, so maybe it won’t be as bad as expected. But really, who am I kidding? It will probably be worse.
One: Get 15% off Colleen Rothschild e-gift cards right now with code LAST15MIN. These would make for a perfect last-minute gift for your favorite loved one — or you can do what I did and buy the e-gift cards for yourself as an early and well-deserved Christmas gift, and spend them on a Jumbo Extreme Recovery Cream.
Two: Holy 60% off Athleta sale, Batman! You can BET that I’m making the most of this huge, once-a-year sale. First on my list: these Athleta Transcend pants that are over 40% off, in ALL the colors.
