a quicky check-in
i just wanted to pop in and say hello! long time, eh? i haven't been up to anything too different - just balancing work, friends, and the holidays.
what is exciting? i added a few rebecca taylor pretties to my closet thanks to the amazing nordstrom sale a few weeks ago!
it was one of those days where everything on the rack was in just my size. i ended up taking 4 items into the fitting room and walking out with 3. but because of that, i took a little break from my usual anthropologie excursions. don't worry, i'll be back with more reviews to share and the outfits i haven't had a chance to post. (which includes wearing the nailhead dress about 5x already! i tell you. my new mantra is "dress with sleeves!")
oh and who is excited about this week's holiday sale action?! i always go out and about today (the wednesday before thanksgiving) instead of black friday as the deals are basically the same and it allows me to avoid all the traffic.
i picked up a cute wear-to-work dress at 40% off from banana republic, and hit up aerie's 40% off for a couple casual tops too.
as i am in my hometown for the holiday there is, unfortunately, no anthropologie to visit for the 50% off. it looks like the online sale is already picked over... did you get a chance to nab anything? even if i was, there isn't too much i have been pining over. in fact, my anthro wish list is the smallest it's been in years:
not sure if it is because the new arrivals aren't just up my alley or if it is because there are a few other items that i would love love love to have instead:
how are you feeling about the anthropologie new arrivals? what's on the top of your holiday wishlist?

styling options for the j.crew dusted sequin shift dress
hello there!
i was contacted by C for styling options with this pretty that she picked up last year:
i love a good sequined number, so of course i couldn't wait to get started:
just click any of the pictures to get a close up or product details.
my favorites are #1, #2, #8, and #11. a little more quirky, but still festive and fun. how would you wear it?
