Staple item…Denim shorts

Hi dolls!

Happy hump day.  In just a few short days it will be a long weekend (and July already!) so crazy.  I just cannot wait for this long weekend.  Tom and I are going to escape to the Adirondacks for some fun outdoorsy activities.  Our friend has a cabin on a lake up there, this could not have come at a better time!  Toms schedule has been crazy town so it will be nice to see friends and relax a bit this weekend.  Plus, it is really our last weekend to do anything and see people before our trip! The following weekend is the weekend before we leave which will be full of all the last minute shopping and packing we will need to do since we leave that following Friday, right after work!  I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by!  Any fun plans for this long weekend??

Now onto this post.  I just love denim shorts, you can dress them up or down and they go with just about anything.  I really need to get some new ones for this trip and came across these great deals and thought I would share.  You can never have too many denim shorts, right??collage

All of these are on sale! Happy shopping 🙂

Beach getaway outfits

Hi all!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far!  I thought a post about a beach was needed since this “spring” has been rather cold here in NY lately.  I mean it snowed the other day…and they are calling for possible snow again this Saturday?! Ugh, I just need to dream of beaches to get me through this haha.

Well my hubby and I officially booked our summer vaca!! We are going to Denmark (to visit family) and since we are able to go for 3 weeks we decided to wrap in Italy and Iceland to the trip (I am so pumped!).  So we will do some swimming and beach days while in Copenhagen but we are going to Rome and Amalfi Coast in Italy (beach attire all day!) so I thought this post would be perfect.  I need to find some super cute outfits for the beach, day as well as nights out on the town and love all of these options.

Here are some items I came up with. Enjoy!

Nordstrom Sale!

Happy hump day friends!! I hope everyone had a nice long weekend, I sure did.  I actually had a fun trip to Cleveland to visit my sister! It was so great spending time with her, I hate how far away she lives from me 😦 . I will put up a post from all the fun things we did and saw in Cleveland later in the week.  Today I wanted to share an awesome sale I came across from Nordstrom!  They are offering up to 40% off on their Winter Clearance items!  I thought it would be fun to feature some gorgeous dresses.  Spring is around the corner and wedding season begins (most of ours fall later in the year but still fun to start planning).  I picked out some dresses that I thought would be perfect for all different types of weddings.  Black tie to cocktail dresses and that perfect “little black dress”. Enjoy!

Spring is in the air, well sort of..

Hi lovies!

I hope everyone is having a lovely week thus far, Happy hump day!  I don’t know about you guys but I am itching for spring time.  I just LOVE when all the snow starts to melt (here in NY we have been having record breaking NICE weather-so not normal, but hey I’ll take it) and the birdies are out and chirping in the mornings, the plants start to bloom and you get to start wearing less and less layers.

Well, for some reason, I have been having spring fever and scouting out cute new outfits for the spring that (fingers crossed) is right around the corner.  Thought I would share some of my latest obsessions that are also on sale!

Tobi Casual Dress Sale!

First let me start by saying TGIF! This weekend took forever to get here but so happy the work week is over 🙂 Tom and I are going to go upstate to visit some family friends which will be a ton of fun.  Won’t be too crazy of a weekend which is good since Thanksgiving next week will be so exhausting.  Do you guys have any fun plans for the weekend?

So, I am such a sucker for a good sale and I love spreading the word.  I got an email informing me that Tobi.com is having a 30% off their casual dresses with promo code casual30 and I couldn’t just keep it to myself.

Their prices are pretty amazing when they don’t have a sale and now select dresses are 30% off! I just love a cute casual dress to wear with ankle boots or thigh high boots.  Most casual dresses I always feel can be dressed up as well.

Here are some of the items in my shopping cart:

Comfy Cozy Sweater Dress

Nestled Up Sweater Dress

Drop Out Shift Dress

Hope you dolls have a wonderful weekend!

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!

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!!

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??
