SOLUDOS ESPADRILLES! (part of Shopbop Friends & Family Sale!)

Like I mentioned in yesterday's post, the best sale out there is ON right now: 

The Shopbop Friends & Family Sale.

25% off.

No minimum order.

Free 3-day Shipping.

Free returns for 15 days.

I ordered a handful of things today (insert blushing emoji here) - and one thing I finally grabbed was a pair of Soludos Espadrilles. I've seen them EVERYWHERE on blogs- and well-  the peer pressure got to me. I haven't had luck finding comfy espadrilles in the past- but the reviews on them promise to be great- so I grabbed a pair of the bright aqua ones! With the 25% off Friends & Family discount they were only $27! Total steal.

Once they arrive I'll update y'all on how they fit and feel- but with the free returns for 15 days, I just HAD to grab them while they were 25% off! If you've been thinking about grabbing a pair- NOW is the time!

Here's the whole rainbow Shopbop offers in Soludos:

Which color Soludos will you be grabbing during the 25% off sale?

I got the bright aqua- but I LOVE the red with a pineapple too!

Sale ends April 10th, 4am EST

The BIG Sale: SHOPBOP FRIENDS & FAMILY 25% OFF SALE!

There are some retailers that have sales ALL the time- and Friends & Family ends up not meaning anything, because well..when you have it 8 times a year, it loses it's impressiveness!

Shopbop only has this sale a couple times a year- so if there's been something you've had your eye on, NOW is the time to get it.

The sale is on April 7th (now!) until April 10th at 4am EST- so get shopping!

(brand exclusions do apply!)

The Friends & Family sale has always been the time when I've bought my big ticket items like my Michael Kors Watch, as well as items that aren't as expensive- but I've been too cheap to pull the trigger on, like Rifle Paper Co stationery. This time around I think it might be time for some Tretorn boots or a new purse!

Since it's tax-return season, it's the best time to treat yo'self to something NEW for spring! Here's a guide to the best things (in my opinion) to snatch up during the sale:

A new case for your cell phone ... or a new watch if you're trying to rely on your phone less.

A new big wallet to store all your cash ... or something smaller if your tax refund wasn't so great.

Classic Sam Edelman Flats if you've got some sun ... or Tretorn Boots if you're stuck in April Showers.

A bright bag to say "Spring is heeeeere" in an Oprah voice ... or one in a basic color if you're more practical like I am. 

What are you going to grab for yourself during this sale?

Remember, it only happens a couple times a year, so don't wait!

NO, BUT REALLY...I OWN IT.

I love reading truly love reading other blogs- no matter what kind they are.

Because you're here- I'm going to assume that you like blogs a fair amount too, or...at least this one.

With all the affiliate sites out there (one of which I use)- it can be hard to tell if people who you trust in the blog world are sharing products because they actually love/believe in/own them- or because they're trying to make a quick buck. 

I can say that on this here blog- I really share stuff that I only love/believe in/own.

Proof?

Here's just a couple below, as shown by my Instagram pictures!

MICHAEL KORS SLIM RUNWAY WATCH: This baby gets worn EVERY.DAY.  If the phrase #armparty didn't make me want to puke so much, you'd probably see a lot more of it on my Instagram feed. Sure, $195 can seem like a lot to shell out in one moment, but when you wear it often (and get compliments on it weekly like I do)- it's so so worth it.

GARANCE DORE CARDS:  (UPDATE: these patterns just sold out, but there are more options here!) : I post a lot of notebooks, cards, letterpress, etc on this here blog - and it truly is because I'm a certified paper hoarder. I love having JUST the right card to send to someone in the right moment. These cards are perfect for specific occasions (like birthdays or Valentine's Day), or just every day "I'm thinking of you" stuff. 

THE NY TIMES 36 HOURS BOOKS: I also post a fair amount of books- because-like above- I'm a pretty book hoarder. I love these series of books- all $15-$30-feature a specific part of the USA or the World. I currently own USA & CANADA: MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES as well as USE & CANADA: NORTHEAST. 

So there you have it folks, proof that I'm not just posting about stuff for the sake of filling the blank page. I love gushing about great products/brands I find and love- which is why I share them with you! 

What brands/items/products do you stand behind?

All 3 above are 100% vetted by me :)

** There is still time left to enter the Favorite Things Giveaway!!

THE BEST THING TO WAKE UP TO!

Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating.

Waking up to winning the lottery, breakfast in bed, and a massage would be the best thing to wake up to...but this is a real life, and those things just don't happen often. 

What IS real life is the Kate Spade surprise sample sale. Up to 75% off the one of the classiest, most ladylike brands out there. PLUS it's a flat $5 for shipping. Boom.

'Tis the time for gifting yourself a little Valentine's Day (or in my case early birthday) gift, right?

Here are some of my favorite items:

1. This "Things we love" wall calendar is only $10 and is mine. Purchased. I plan on framing some of the images once the months are over! 

2. I'm in need of a new makeup case desperately. If you don't believe me I'll email you a picture of my once red-now brown Vera Bradley. This polka dot guy is perfect!

3. Sigh. No iPhone for me, as we all know. Someone get me one so I can get a crossword or stripey case.

4. I always overlook Kate Spade jewelry- but both this pink gem ring and gold diamond one caught my eye.

5. Clearly Kate Spade bags are all lovely - but this cobalt Alexander Ave and Oak Island Stripe Kaleigh stand out for sure!

6. Similar to #3- buy me an iPad too so I can get this Play Hooky case?

7. Last but not least- I have been eyeing KSNY  wallets FOREVER. I always put them in my shopping cart and then my conscience kicks in and says : HEY YOU IDIOT- WHY WOULD YOU SPEND $160 on a WALLET? Yes, I know the whole "cost per use" thing, and yes I use a wallet daily- but I'm stubborn- so there. Now that two of my favorite colors of the Neda are on crazy sale, I think it's finally time to grow up & make it happen. Right?

What are you gonna grab friends?

Come on, you know you want to virtual shop with me!

EXTRA 40% OFF? TWIST MY ARM.

Hi kids.

I'll be brief today. Ann Taylor is having their Semi Annual sale + an additional 40% off all sale styles.

Dresses, sweaters, skirts, necklaces, scarves, shoes...you name it. If it's on sale, you get 40% more off. 

Just put it in your shopping cart and the price will automatically change for you- no code needed!

My two favorite dresses are from Ann Taylor, and I figured I'd feature some of their accessories and shoes I could pair with them here!

Especially loving that white square necklace, those bold scarves, and the pretty sparkly loafers!

If you're an Ann Taylor fan, today is your day.

Go get it, friends. Let me know the damage you do.
