LE CATCH

Another good knit, this one a statement cardigan from Madewell that reminds me a bit of this embellished outfit-making Figue that I've been reaching for again and again.

$118, j.crew

The fringed cut-out adds the perfect amount of flair to a basic knit. (P.S. It's 30% off through 12/3.)

A recent closet cleanse revealed I need more everyday blouses in my life. But the special, hard-to-find kind that stands up to the mundane--i.e., early morning school runs, market sweeps, etc.--but still looks cute, like I made an effort to get "dressed." So I did some snooping around and discovered these beauts from T by Alexander Wang, J.Crew, Tibi, Madewell, And Other Stories, Rebecca Taylor, Antik Batik, and Free People.

I'm not stopping my streak of self-indulgence just yet (more pumpkin pie, anyone?), as, oh yes, there is still more sale shopping to be had. Starting with the high offerings like the prettiest Alessandra Rich dress, above and the low H&M gems, such as the embroidered sweater below. I would mind throwing into my big ol' shopping cart these finds from Alexis (I already have this dress in white and love it--see me in it here), Miu Miu, H&M, Balenciaga, Mango, Marc Jacobs, and Zimmermann. Get in there!

I lost my beloved Ray-Ban sunglasses somewhere off the coast of Guadalupe a few days ago, so I just snapped up not one but two replacements as they are on sale at Shopbop, along with a bevy of other beautiful things. (I also bought this Tanya Taylor dress and this cute Flynn Skye jumpsuit and saved my myself 30%!) Also good: these Loeffler Randall shearling sandals, this Clare V basket tote, this embellished 3.1 Phillip Lim sweater, this J.O.A bomber jacket and this Otto d'ame faux fur coat. My dress, above, is not on sale, but it's wallet friendly and available here with loads of other great things on sale.

Net-a-Porter is giving us a Christmas present before Thanksgiving with its just-launched sale, featuring all the fall pieces you could want at up to half off. Take for instance, these Mansur Gavriel mules and this Simon Miller bag, both pictured above. Other desirables: this vacation-ready Zimmermann dress, these Stella McCartney wide leg jeans, this Ulla Johnson one-shoulder blouse, this Cornelia Webb pearl-studded choker and this Ganni open-back sweater. Check it all out for yourself here.

While I am not quite ready to hang up the garland and steep myself in egg nog, I could easily slip into these festive, holiday party-worthy sequin trousers (they also come in black.) I love that they're flashy and unexpected--i.e. way more interesting than a predictable LBD. Other dressy pants to consider include these by Jenni Kayne, Rag & Bone, Zara, and Emilio Pucci.

Like everybody else these days, my best friend is all about "hygge," the Danish buzzword synonymous with coziness, comfort and contentment. (P.S. It's pronounced hoo-guh, and derives from a sixteenth-century Norwegian term, hugga, meaning “to comfort” or “to console,” which is related to the English word “hug.”) Now, with this super soft and perfectly fluffy Madewell popover, I'm with her on the hygge bandwagon!

I haven't even ordered the turkey yet but already Thanksgiving sales are on fire! Take for instance Moda Operandi's Friend and Family Half Off Sale, featuring the tempting likes of this Lisa Marie Fernandez dress, above, perfect for warm weather getaways, these festive Charlotte Olympia sandals, this stand out Isa Arfen blouse, this party-ready Ulla Johnson dress, and this Warm floral blouse. Check it all out here.

When I was in New York last week, I did something I rarely do: I went underwear and bra shopping. This happened after trying on clothes at a store with a friend, who was wearing a super sexy but everyday-worthy bra; meanwhile, mine was basic and utilitarian (read: anything but sexy). So I went and conquered, and now I want even more options! (I honestly feel a little chicer with my new underpinnings, which is not a bad thing, I have to say.) I'm lusting after these lovelies from Cosabella, Hanky Panky, Free People, Anine Bing, and Honeydew.
