Happy almost Thanksgiving friends! I can't believe the holidays are officially here. I feel like I blinked and we went from summer to Thanksgiving. I definitely need to get a start on my Christmas shopping and with Black Friday just a few days away I've been working on a holiday gift guide I'm sharing with you! If you're like me, you don't have time to go to the stores to shop Friday so I've hunted down the deals now to make it easy.

1 // Since getting the iPhone 8 Plus, using wired headphones is a bit more difficult so these headphones are perfect. Usually $247, they're marked down to $159 on Black Friday. Hello gorgeous Golden Mist Beats.

2 // You can never go wrong with jewelry, right? These Kendra Scott earrings are going to be marked down from $65 to $32 and they come in 12 colors!

3 // I've been in the market for some new makeup brushes and I love the IT Cosmetics ones. This cute little travel set is going to be on sale for 50% off! 

4 // Every blogger out there has been rocking this cable knit chenille sweater and I can totally see why. It's super cozy looking and I love that it can be worn on or off the shoulder. At 50% off how can you pass it up? 

5 // You guys know I'm a sucker for anything mermaid so when I saw this Tarte Limited-Edition Mermaid Kisses Lipstick Set I totally fell in love. The packaging is so pretty and I love that the colors look great on every skintone. 

 6 // Attention blogger friends: the Canon Rebel T6 is going to be marked down from $749 to $449! This is the same camera a lot of big name bloggers use so you know it's good.

7 // I don't know how many times I've gone back and forth between wanting a Fitbit and not (especially since I've been using my phone lately) but this is such a great deal on the Alta HR it's almost hard to pass up!
8 // When I got my first Swell bottle a few years ago I never realized just how much I would use it. Now I have one that I keep in the office, a smaller one I take with me to theme parks and another one I use on a regular basis. This glittery one reminds me of a unicorn (or mermaid) and how gorgeous is this marble one? Both would be perfect to alternate with my palm print one. Did I mention you can get 15% off? 
9 // This super cute and cozy Free People thermal is marked down from $78 to $53 and it currently has an additional 20% off!
10 // I've been seriously digging the crushed velvet look lately and this bag is perfect. It's marked down to $131 and has an additional 25% off using code Black25! Did I mention it comes in 6 different colors too?

 Some other notable Black Friday sales:

• Free People is having their biggest Black Friday sale ever which includes some amazing sweaters, my favorite bralettes and more.
•  Shopbop is offering their buy more, save more sale on tons of cute items. 
• J.Crew has 40% off plus free shipping!
• Express has 50% off everything plus free shipping. Yup, you read that correctly, 50% OFF EVERYTHING!

Hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving and Black Friday! I'll be taking a little break to enjoy the holiday so I'll see you all again Monday!

Happy Friday dolls! We made it through the first full week of January! I don't know about any one else but I was definitely more busy this week than I have been in the past few weeks so it's been rough getting back into the swing of thing and remembering how I balanced work, personal and blog life so bare with me while I figure all that out again. With Christmas over I really shouldn't be spending any more money but there have just been so many great sales lately that I can't resist. Please tell me I'm not the only one? So today I decided to share a few of my favorites that have gone on sale since Christmas!

1 // Leave it to GiGi to have all the cute things on sale after the holidays. I'm a huge fan of my Uber Clutch but it's not practical for every day. This is the perfect size (for me) for running around on the weekends, it looks incredibly similar to the Gucci Soho bag but for literally a fraction of the price.

2 // If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed these (in black) in a few pictures lately. I bought them as a little Christmas present to myself and they are SO comfy. The black is currently out of stock but the brown is super cute too.

3 // My favorite faux leather jacket is currently on sale for $40 off and if they had it on sale in the cognac as well I would definitely be scooping it up in that color. It's so comfy and looks great with just about everything! I even wore it to one of the Christmas parties I attending with a fancy dress and got compliments on how cute it was. 

4 // I am probably one of the few people in the world who haven't jumped on board the Zella legging crazy (not because I don't want to but because the ones I want are NEVER in my size) but these are my go-to workout leggings for now. I currently have them in 3 colors and since they're currently on sale for $15 I think I might be getting a few more... ;) 

5 // Thanks to Kerri, I cannot. Stop. Buying. These. The most recently color I picked up was Noble, which is a petal pink nude and so gorgeous for every day. I love how long these last too! 

And, I just realized that everything in this post is either black or blush... I apparently have a thing with those colors lately! Haha! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

*Linking up with Amanda*

Happy Friday and first day of July friends! Thank you for all the sweet birthday wishes on Wednesday, you guys are so sweet! My birthday was definitely a great day, who says getting older has to be bad, right? I've definitely noticed more and more people taking blogging breaks for the summer and I think I've decided to blog Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Monday, Wednesday and Thursday for the summer so if you notice me cutting back on posts, that's why. Work has been pretty busy so it's getting harder and harder for me to find time during the day to read and respond and with it staying light so late I find myself wanting to do more things when I get off work so cutting back just seems to make the most sense. Hope everyone understands! With that being said, I'll probably take Monday off since it is a holiday but after that I'm going to try to stick to a schedule! Now that I've got that out of the way, let's jump into my Friday Favorites with Amanda!

1 // The Mara Hoffman sale is on and I am loving SO many things. If this one was in my size I'd immediately scoop it up, the ruffle top is so cute! But definitely picking up these bikini bottoms to match some of the plain black tops I have and loving this print too... so many choices!

2 // My mom got me the Watt's Up highlighter for my birthday and I am obsessed. I really wasn't sure how I'd like the cream to to powder but it's great and the glow is absolutely perfect!

3 // Love the Chloe espadrille wedges but don't want to spend $600+ on them? I don't blame you! These are a perfect dupe for $160!
4 // I'm not really big on hot coffee (especially not in the summer) but this coffee mug describes exactly how I feel every weekend. Seriously, who do we need to talk to to make that a thing?
5 // Continuing with my tassel obsession... these are so stinkin' cute! I love the bright colors and they even look cute together!

Hope everyone has a fabulous and safe 4th of July weekend!

Happy Humpday lovelies! It's all downhill from here, right? I'm actually in offsite meetings the majority of the day so if you don't hear from me or I'm super slow to respond, that's why! Sometimes I love being in offsite meetings because it means I get to be away from my desk for the day but then I also feel so detached from the world so it's kind of a double edged sword. Just like all of these amazing sales that have been popping up in my Inbox lately! Don't get me wrong, I love a good sale but it's hard to resist buying things for myself and I'm trying to be good since the holidays are right around the corner. 

I decided to round up a few of my favorites from the different sales going on right now so you can scoop some things up for yourself (you know, as an early Christmas present to yourself. You've been good this year, right? I thought so) or as presents because it's never too early to start Christmas shopping. Actually I'm probably behind already... eek! 

1 // This sweater has been on major blogger repeat and is currently on sale for 20% off!

2 // B totally got me hooked on wanting a sherpa vest for fall and this one is currently on sale for under $30!

3 // Rebecca Minkoff is currently having her sample sale which means you can get items for up to 75% off! Obsessing over the color of this Avery crossbody!

4 // How perfect is this studded tote for under $150 too?!
5 // Loving this jacket for fall! I can't even decide what color I like the best... I just bought a wine colored one so I'm thinking that gray one is perfect! 

 6 // These earrings are such a perfect stocking stuffer for someone!
7 // Faux suede is all the rage this fall and these leggings are PERFECT! Love that they're under $30 too!


This is my first official VIB sale so I am super excited! Here are a few items I'm adding to the cart for myself on Friday!

1 // I love a good exfoliator, especially for summer and Origins never disappoints!
2 // I got this Murad peel as a sample and I loved it so much I'm definitely planning on scooping it up during the sale! It's perfect for evening out that dull winter skintone.
3 // I LOVE this lip butter and shhh don't tell anyone but on days that I go to the gym then run out to do errands or meet up with someone I totally use it to give my cheeks a bit of color as well! Grabbing the Pomegranate and maybe even the Wild Rose on Friday!
4 // You all know I'm a HUGE Genifique fan so this gift set would be perfect to get for my mom to get her to try these products out. I know she'd fall in love with them too!
5 // I have been dying to try these Peter Thomas Roth masks so this is a perfect chance to give all three a try for under $20!
6 // I've been loving the NARS lip colors lately and this gift set is not only a great price but I am loving the colors especially that dark one and the more nude color!
7 // I am in love with all of these Butter polishes! SO perfect for the holidays and if you're getting married, the perfect wedding polishes! 

Happy Humpday dolls! Thank goodness the rest of the week is all downhill from here. I am exhausted and ready to get some sleep in this weekend! I can tell the days are already getting shorter and it's making it tough getting up in the morning with it still being pitch black out. Hopefully that also means cooler weather is right around the corner. Speaking of cooler weather, summer is quickly coming to an end which means the summer flash sales are out in full force! I have a love/hate relationship with these flash sales, especially when I just got back from vacation.

But truthfully, who can say no to a good sale? Especially when I was so good during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and didn't end up buying a thing (crazy, right?) so why not splurge a little now?

These flats are perfect for the summer to fall transition and will even be perfect in the spring!

Obsessing over this slouchy hobo bag and this structured satchel.

I love how cute this ring is! It'd be perfect for stacking or just wearing every day.

I've been on the hunt for a new makeup bag and this one is perfect!

I know maxi dress season is almost over but I am absolutely in love with this one. I can imagine wearing it around some place gorgeous like Greece!

This fringe crossbody would definitely be on repeat this fall and such a great price!

Also, this mini bucket bag is perfection! I already have a bag in that color and I love it so much I want the bucket bag in the same color!

The spike detail on the back of these espadrilles is so fun!

I almost bought this ring during the Nordstrom sale but now I'm glad I didn't! It's cheaper now than it was through that sale!

Ashley had this iPhone case when we met up for brunch in Charleston and I fell in love! So I was super excited when I saw some of the colors are currently on sale.

I also really love the color of this clutch. It seems extremely versatile for any season!

Seriously lusting after ALL of these things! Any one want to help me narrow down my wish list to something more manageable?!?
