I love the holidays for a number of reasons but the main one being all the great deals you can find!  I got an email about this awesome Gap sale! Of course the sale also goes for Old Navy and Banana Republic .  For today and tomorrow only you can get free 3 day shipping with a purchase of $75 or more AND 40% off when you use the code HOLIDAY at checkout.  Here is a holiday look I found at Gap that I just love!

find these here!

I have been so in love with the lace up flats trend and this color is SO festive! This was the first thing that caught my eye when shopping and I will be buying these!

You can find this sweater here, comes in a few different colors too!

I am such a big sweater junky this time of year.  You can never go wrong with a big sweater, skinny jeans/leggings and either flats or ankle boots.

I screamed when I saw these velvet pants.  I just LOVE these and I am obsessed with burgundy this time of year too.  They come in a few different colors too.  I never do a huge fancy thing for Thanksgiving but I do like to get dressed up a little.  This is the perfect outfit for a gathering at my cousins house.  I totaled up this lovely look and with the free shipping and 40% off, the entire outfit came to just under $100!!!

Happy Shopping! I hope you find some great deals at Gap and if so please do share what you ended up getting!!

This foundation is normally $39 just on its own.  QVC’s special includes the Amazonian Clay Foundation AND a limited edition brush.  This brush is a MUST for applying this foundation.  I purchased the brush that Tarte sells and it retails for $34.  This awesome deal above is just $39!!! Plus QVC allow you to make payment plans if needed.  I cannot wait for mine to arrive!

This gift set is only $59.94!

If you have never tried Tarte Cosmetics before I highly recommend getting this gift set! It lets you try out their best products.  This QVC special, that includes everything in the picture above, is only $59.94!! The LipSurgence alone cost $24 each and they include 5 of them! If you don’t buy this for yourself this would also make a great gift with the holidays coming up!

Head over to QVC and check out the other Tarte products they have on sale!

I have always been a makeup nut.  I love to try different brands and products and over the years Tarte has become one of my all time faves!  I love that their products have a ton of natural ingredients in them that also help nourish your skin.  I have been obsessed with their Amazonian Clay foundation for years.  It is my go to for every day wear.  It has great coverage and stays on all day long AND doesn’t make my skin super greasy by the end of the day.  They say that is due to the amazing benefits of the clay.  I get emails from QVC when they have specials on Tarte because their specials are too good to pass up so I wanted to share them with you guys!!

What is your favorite makeup brand and have you ever tried Tarte before??

The weather this week in NYC has been amazing!  I just love this time of year and I wish Fall would last so much longer then it does here in NY.  Before we know it we will be shoveling ourselves out the front door (dreading this!).  I thought I would put together some of my fave fall looks in honor of this amazing weather!  There is this site called Goodnight Macaroon and I love everything they have! I thought I would pick out some of my fall faves from their site.

Happy Shopping!

You can find this awesome sweater on sale here!

You can find this on sale here!

This geo pattern sweater is calling my name!

Nothing like an over sized sweater for the fall, it is one of my staple items this time of year and I LOVE these three! Goodnight Macaroon has a ton of really cute ones and they have so many colors available too!!

This is also on sale here

Love this one!

Maybe it’s the fact that you do not wear a jacket all summer long in NY that makes me so obsessed with them this time of year but nothing is better then dressing up a cute outfit with a super cute coat or jacket.  I just adore these two!

Enjoy the weather today!

What are your Fall staple clothing items?!

Thrive Online Market

I discovered Thrive Online Market about 5 months ago.  This amazing website caters to those of us who love organic and natural products but may not be able to always afford those options.  Thrive is an online market that sells all those amazing brands that I love, Seventh Generations, Mrs. Meyers etc. that are always pretty pricey in our own grocery store, for 25-50% off retail.  I placed my first order a couple of months ago and I was so pleased with everything from the delivery and packaging to the customer service.  I got 20 items all different brands for $58.00 plus free shipping.  They not only gave me free shipping but I also got $10 off for referring friends, $15 off for having a membership and receiving their emails, oh and did I mention I received the membership for free for the first 30 days?! This site is really trying hard to cater to their customers and it shows.

Not only do they have cleaning products and beauty products all in our favorite natural brands but they also have tons of food! I love Amy’s soups and at my Stop & Shop they are about $3-$3.75 a can and I got an amazing deal 2 cans for $4.45! I focused this purchase mainly on cleaning products but I did also get an awesome all natural sunflower seed butter as well as farro, both of which I have been loving!

I have really been working at changing my lifestyle by cutting out chemicals where I can so I figured why not start with the products I use all over my apartment.  I am so happy with all the cleaning products I purchased from them, and yes I started cleaning the second I opened the package from pure excitement!

My next purchase is going to be focused more on ingredients needed in vegan dishes.  I cannot find arrow root, tapioca flour or nutritional yeast in my super market so I plan on buying all those items that are hard for me to get.  I also love this face wash, Bull Dog, it is advertised as a men’s wash but I got it in one of my glam bags and fell in love.  It doesn’t dry out my skin and contains no parabens, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, or ingredients from animal sources.  I looked at so many stores in my area as well as in NYC and wasn’t able to find it.  I was so shocked to see that Thrive carried this face wash and for half the price that it retails for, I am almost out so will be stocking up on this as well!

Not only does Thrive have these amazing all natural products for discounted prices they are very socially responsible and give back to the community which is a huge thing for me.  They give a free membership to a low-income family for every membership that is purchased.

I highly suggest checking out this great site and keeping it in mind next time you are looking to purchase any organic brands!

Kate Spade Surprise Sale!

I love surprises and I also love a good sale!  Kate Spade has amazing deals going on right now! I just love their bags.  If the usual price point of $300+ doesn’t work for you then maybe you can snag a deal during this sale!  The prices right now are so affordable, it is the only time I will ever really purchase a Kate Spade bag.  All sales are final but the beauty of buying accessories is one size fits all!

Here is a link to the sale which lasts for 2 days: Kate Spade Sale

Here are some of my fave deals:

Originally $478 on sale for $169!! You can find it here

I just love big tote bags.  As a commuter it is rather essential to have a big bag with you on your long journey to and from work.  I love being able to fit a book, my ipad, phone, headphones, wallet, keys and any thing I may be working on.  This bag is amazing and I really love the color!

This gem was originally $398 on sale for $149!

I adore this as an everyday bag.  It is a perfect size to fit your essentials and has a cross body strap.  I have found that the last few purses I have purchased all have cross body straps and I feel like I would be lost without them.  Makes tasks so much easier when your arms and hands are free from holding your bag.

I love this one, originally $275 now $89!

You always need a good small cross body for when you go out and only need money, cards, phone and some lipstick.  This also comes in black but I love this ‘red plum’ color.  I usually wear  a lot of black when I go out so this pop of color I think would be a nice addition.

This is just so fun. I usually stick with basic color bags but this color pops and I love the style too. Originally $328 now $129! You can get it here

I just love this color and style.  It is pretty versatile and will go with anything from jeans to a cute dress.  I also realized that I lack a variety of colors in my accessories.  I usually go the safe route of black or neutrals but this bag is calling out to me!

I hope you get a chance to get over to this sale and shop!!

What are your fave items??
