A reason to shop.

Like every day, you can always come to 101 things I love to support your shopping habit. Old habits die hard. <wink, wink> I will say this though...I will always find you a good deal and I am well researched. That's a promise! I am sure my husband is gritting his teeth reading this. 

Today, I am reminding you or perhaps informing you that you now have a great resource in Algonquin, a northwestern suburb not too far from my house, for all your luxury shopping and gift giving needs. Let me introduce you to Steinmart. The new store opens on 10/12/17.

I snagged two great transitional items as the seasons start to fluctuate. The first are these to-die-for boots by Corso Como. The Simba bootie typically ranges from $55-$65 books on other sites but I snagged mine for $23! You can find other styles here, too!

Next up is my Tory Burch Parker Tote. Typically it retails for $298 and I found mine for $229! Such a steal and I love all the compartments/storage for my laptop. It's the ideal work meets happy hour bag. Even big enough to store all my kiddos' gear on outings! <truth be told, I've never owned a Tory Burch anything -- thumbs up all around>

There are so many items I could have scooped up...trust me, I had to restrain myself. And with the holidays around the corner, who isn't paying attention to their spending patterns? Saving is a beautiful thing. Discover why Stein Mart is the best place to get everyday values on unique finds in women’s and men’s clothing, home décor, luxury linens, accessories, shoes and so much more!

Visit the new Algonquin store opening on 10/12/17 @ 9:00am CST! Grab a free tote bag - available for the first 200 customers. You can also enter for a chance to win one of ten Stein Mart gift cards ranging from $50-$500! Finally, stay cozy at the grand opening celebration as they will have a food truck with complimentary coffee and donuts while supplies last. #YoureWelcome

I’m not quite ready for resort wear so indulge me as I round up my favorite Revolve pieces for February. I’ve gotten several requests through my DMs on Instagram for Revolve over the last few months. I never knew I had so many closet Revolve shoppers.

It’s no secret that I consider myself an Amazon expert when it comes to finding cheap and chic fashion. It’s what I live for! Let’s just say I’ve been busy this holiday season and while I do love the “one for me, one for you” methodology…I will be 100% truthful in that I am gifting any one of these pieces to someone I love. I just can’t say who because it’s December 23rd!

The BEST gold sequin dresses for the holidays.

Despite an incredibly tumultuous two years in pandemic world, I think this year’s holiday festivities will be quite the cause for celebration. And while we are not out of the woods yet, we all have plans to gather and sparkle and shine! Righteously so, too. It’s been a long two years and quite frankly, I don’t think you should reserve your sequins for NYE only. Sequins and fanciness are for everyday with a few small tweaks. Take it from a girl who eats sequins for breakfast.

As my seasonal closet sale approaches, I am once again purging and making room for new pieces, albeit the classics with a twist. Antiquated denim, fits that no longer interest me, patterns and prints that essentially need a new home. And much like the trajectory of this blog, I’ve continue to reach for the classics…the pieces you can really mix and match; the pieces that deliver on ROI.

We inherited my parents French, dining room table when we bought the house and it’s one of my favorite pieces. The natural wood and curvature fit perfectly into our formal dining room despite being over 20 years old. They don’t make furniture like this any longer. Along with it, we inherited the formal dining chairs which we repaired and reupholstered as well.

I had absolutely zero intention of discussing, partaking or posting about Amazon Prime Days. Not out of rebellion but because I really wasn’t feeling it. Like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it is literally crammed down our throats. But then….uhhhhh, well I have a summer cold and it’s causing me a bout of insomnia. Mostly because I cannot breathe. Anyhoo…

Quickie post today as I spent the weekend literally spending all my money on May holidays and birthdays. May is pure insanity for us every year. It’s the fastest month that usually leaves me feel like I have whiplash come June 1.
