A Warm and Cozy Sale

Whew! I think my wallet is safe this week.  So, there was a small sale today with lots of sweaters.  I was able to resist purchasing anything today and I plan on sticking to that plan.  I recently moved into my apartment and I took a little break from furnishing and decorating my place.  So, know I have to take a break from Anthro shopping, just for a little while.  We'll see how long that lasts.   Happy Shopping ladies!

miscellany monday

happy monday ladies – i’ve added my random ramblings to carissa’s miscellany monday party!  check out carissa’s blog below and join in on the fun. 

{one}time change. i don’t know about you guys, but i’m happy to have gained an extra hour of sleep.  i’m not loving the fact that it’s pitch black outside at 6pm, but i love my sleep. 

{twomonday night football.  anyone that knows me knows that i love football.  i look forward to football season and i’m always pretty sad to see the season end.  i prefer college football over nfl, but i watch it and enjoy it all.  the florida gators are my favorite college team and philadelphia eagles and green bay are my favorite nfl teams.  and since i live in florida i usually root   i usually work on the weekends, so i can’t always catch the games.  however, i’m always able to catch some monday night football.  who’s playing tonight? its steelers vs. bengals….i’m pretty sure that the steelers will take it home, but you never know.  i usually root for the underdog when it’s not my team…so it will be interesting if bengals pull out a win tonight. 

{threeanthropologie sale.  so…i wonder if anthro is going to have a sale tomorrow now that there is free shipping.  i’ve already taken advantage this offer one time so far…i’m sure that there will be more shipments to come.  yikes!

{fourveterans day.  if you are like me, you may know someone who is currently serving or who has previously served in the military.  in september, my brother-in-law left for afghanistan for 1 year, leaving my sister, my 2 nieces and nephew waiting patiently for his return.  it was so hard to see the little ones so sad and confused.  i was just telling my boyfriend, that we should do so much more to show our appreciation for our troops.  with that being said, i wanted to share some information regarding amazing discounts and freebies for our troops:

  1. applebees  all veterans and active duty military eat free from a limited menu at applebee's on nov. 11. simply show proof of service or arrive wearing a uniform.

Fresh Picks to Follow: Jackets and Vests

Hi ladies…I hope that you all are enjoyed your weekend.  Unfortunately, I had to work all weekend, so it wasn’t so great for me.  I didn’t have a chance to post my fresh picks on Friday, so here it is…I’m such a slacker. 

I thought it would be fitting to post about Fall jackets and vests, since the weather has finally changed here in Florida.  On Thursday, the weather dropped down to the late 40s…that’s pretty cool for Florida living. 

So ladies, it’s time to break out your best fitting jackets and layer them over a blouse or thin sweater (if you haven’t done so already).  You can pair a great tailored jacket with everything from menswear-inspired trousers to skirts to jeans and you’re all set.  A jacket adds structure to your figure: (1) it gives curvy girls more angular lines, (2) it creates waistlines for boyish figures, or (3) it evens out lumps and bumps for all shapes.  If you decide to purchase a fall jacket, then pick traditional fabrics like tweed, plaids, corduroy, denim, velvet, or leather. 

Here are some of my top 10 favorite styles to inspire you this Fall.  Do any of these styles fit into your personal style?  Have you purchased a jacket or vest lately?  Let me know what’s your favorite jacket or vest…either old or new. 


1. Coach - Kaitlin Quilted Jacket…$398.00
2. Anthropologie - Foliage Finder Jacket…$148.00
3. Anthropologie - Oxer Jacket…$158.00
4. Banana Republic - Tabbed Military Sweater Jacket…$110.00
5. JCrew - Belstaff® Roadmaster Jacket…$595.00
6. Anthropologie - Falling In Love Vest…$118.00
7. Anthropologie - Tulip Curtsy Blazer…$118.00
8. Banana Republic – Classic Trench…$198.00
9. Anthropologie - All Along Knit Jacket…$88.00
10 Anthropologie - Autumn Honey Jacket…$298.00

Oh Boy…Another Great Sale!

Well ladies…I must say that today’s sale did not disappoint.  Anthro is making it really hard for me to stay away this week.  It’s especially hard when you don’t have any will power.  I didn’t have a chance to post earlier about the sale, but you can check out Roxy’s blog over at Effortless Anthropologie to see everything that got marked down today.  Roxy’s followers also help each other out with hard to find items…it’s a great tool!  If I change my mind and decide to buy something, I’ll let you all know!  Happy Shopping!

miscellany monday


{one}halloween. i hope that everyone had a happy halloween yesterday.  i didn’t dress up yesterday but i dress up for a party on saturday.  did you guys dress up?  if so, describe your costume.  i was a tiger…well a lazy tiger.  i say lazy tiger because i wore all black and put on some tiger ears and a tiger tail.  i drew on some whiskers on my face and heavy eye make-up.  i thought i looked pretty cute.  i had to work yesterday so i missed all of the little trick or treaters L i really would have liked to  see some of the kids’ great costumes.

{twothe holidays already?  i was in target on friday looking for a halloween costume and i noticed that some christmas decorations are already up.  i was so focused on halloween - it was kind of weird to see a few christmas trees and various trimmings.  i can’t wait until the holiday season starts – i actually love it.  however, i do work retail so the holiday hours are not fun

{threegossip girl.  i don’t know what it is about this show, but it’s one of my favorite shows out there right now.  are there any other gossip fans out there?  let me know your favorite episode and who’s your favorite character.  my favorite episode is “last tango, then paris" and i really like blair.  even though some may say that blair is a little annoying and even pretentious,  she has a lot of style and spunk.   today’s episode was pretty predictable – of course we all knew they would get back eventually. 

{fourfeatured artist: robyn.  if you watched gossip girl, then you heard robyn’s song…“hang with me.”  what did you think? if you didn’t watch the show, then  check out her video here it’s a pretty good song….i love it when tv shows feature new artists.  she also sings “dancing on my own”…which is also another good song.  some of you may remember this swedish artist when she sang “show me love” in the early 90s.   

{fivenew camera.  i really want to buy a new camera…either a nikon d3000 or a canon rebel eos.  i just have to save up a little bit more money to buy one of these lovelies.  i’m hoping to get one of them over the holidays, but that means i’ll have to slow down my shopping sprees at anthropologie.  i also have to do some research about both of these cameras – which one is the better camera?  once i do my research, i’ll share with you all.
{sixanthropologie sale.  so even though i just previously wrote that i needed to slow down with my anthro shopping, i’m curious to see what’s going to be on sale tomorrow.  i’m limiting myself to only one item tomorrow….let’s see how that goes.
