Pretty flashy things…

There’s something about baubles that’s so decidedly girly, I can’t kick it – but then again, why do I have to?

One of the hottest sales of the day is the delicious Amrita Singh at ideeli – one of her designs is pictured below. Also great sales to look out for – Rich & Skinny jeans – (more info below) – which really do make me look thin! With great jewelry and perfect jeans, what else does a girl need?

Well, there’s something. But I have a feeling that ain’t going to be on any of these sales.

Are you feeling the chill?
I certainly am, and it’s so well-timed for the Express Outerwear sale.
Through tomorrow, if you visit Express.com, you will save 30% on all women’s outerwear. That means finds like this awesome wool military coat for just over $100.
I love the military coat look – it’s very trendy right now, but it’s so classic as well, and the polished hardware gives it the extra pop it needs to shine.
If that’s not a great way to stay warm, I don’t know what is!

The moto-cross style is very big this season, and every girl I know wants to have that one fabulous leather jacket.
She just may find it at the Cole Haan sale at Ideeli (link below) – where tons of great styles are about half off!

A few years ago, I lost a lot of weight – as in half of my total weight, or thereabouts – and the very first thing my friends did when I reached my goal is get me a Delia’s gift card.
Delia’s clothes are very juniors-oriented, and that makes them a limited niche opportunity for us grownups – but they are so so adorable that even now that I fit into them a little less-well, I still can’t help but look!
This week, Delia’s is having a sale: You can save $20 on your purchase of $50 or more when you apply …read more

Is your man cold?
Many are. But if it’s simply a clothing issue, I found a way to warm them up.
Right now, Bloomies (which you may know as Bloomingdales, for the less-intimate), is having their Men’s Sweater Sale.
Tons of styles, from the casual to the cashmere are on sale for 30% off. And the sale lasts until 11/22 – which practically carries you through Thanksgiving! Plus, if you are a cardholder and spend $150 or more, you get free shipping too!
Now, if your man’s icy chill has nothing to do with the lack of cashmere, that I sadly can’t help you …read more

This is a crazy week for me: As I made the brilliant decision to go on back to back trips, I will not be at my desk again after Wednesday until…Thanksgiving!
You will not miss me though, alas, because everywhere I go, my MacBook goes – I’m just going to be a crazy person. A crazy person with really cute new jewelry – because I’m ALL over the CD Designs jewelry sale going on today!
I’m all over whimsical, fun designs: I think that alone can perk up an outfit in a way that simple gold or silver cannot. So, I love …read more

By Guest Blogger Teresa Louise Johnson
Having observed different moms in different settings, I’ve come to realize that no matter their sizes, the best looking ones have a classic style. Simple but elegant. A touch of class in accessories and in cut and fabric. However, the ones who make an impact on me are classic but with an edge, a quirkiness that’s more memorable than usual sophistication. But what do you need to have quirky and classic style?
Wide-Collar Wrap Blouse
Let’s focus on the old classic, the white blouse. Every woman knows that you can never go wrong with the white …read more

Get out of your PJs, cancel brunch and get directly over to Macy’s.
Through 11/11 – that would be Veteran’s Day for those of you who don’t own a calendar – Macy’s is having a huge sale.
Pretty much everything is discounted, from clothes to footwear to sheets and everything in between!
If you seek even better deals, you can also save an extra 25% on all clearance merchandise. Plus receive free shipping on any order of $99 or more with code VETSDAY!
Great time to narrow down that Christmas list is what I’m thinking…

As we get closer to the holiday season, we have more and more excuses to get ourselves all pretty and fancy.
Check out this totally cute Phoebe Couture strapless party dress – it’s one of many fabulous evening dresses on sale for at the ideeli eveningwear sale today.
And it’s a super-great sale: This dress is marked down to $99, normally $352. At that price, you don’t have to feel guilty wearing a different dress to every upcoming formal occasion.
Actually, if there’ll be people overlap and/or pictures taken, do you even have a choice?

Jeggings – a jeans/leggings hybrid – is a big trend this season, but until yesterday, I had yet to try a pair.
Then, I open up my mailbox and am greeted with Grane Electric Stretch Denim jean-leggings.
Essentially, jeggings are a streamlined skinny jean – and I love them. Then are super-slimming, comfortable, and look great with this season’s trendy high boots.
Ladies, note, this style is Juniors-sized, so play it safe and go up a size when ordering online. (Or just go to the store and try a pair on!)
What do I love even more? I just noticed they are on sale …read more
