Back to Basics

Gap Drop Shoulder Sweater // Gap Scarf (old, similar here and here) // Citizens of Humanity Avedon Ultra Skinny Jeans (also here) // Joie Rigby Booties 

Umm, new favorite sweater right here! I just live finding some major gems at the Gap. This is the softest, most flattering sweater to wear with jeans or leggings, and can we talk about how nicely it drapes!? Want to know my secret in ordering Gap clothing? I usually order the tall sizes. I grab this sweater in a small tall so that the sleeves and body would be longer on me, and it ended up being perfect. I'm pissed I didn't grab some other colors while I could, because it's now sold out in that size. This scarf is of course also Gap which I've had for a couple years now, but it's a favorite of mine for sure! By the way, have you seen Gap's new "Dress Normal" campaign? Definitely a controversial one since everyone could have a different definition of normal... 

Friday Sales

It's that time of the year... the time that feels almost like Christmas morning... Friends & family sale week! Every fall and spring, most of the big retailers have their friends & family sales - all at the same time! I certainly will be taking advantage and grabbing some early Christmas gifts for friends and family this weekend/next week. Read on for a list of all the best sales and some of my favorite pieces! I'm sure there will be many more to come this weekend, so I'll try to keep you guys updated!

1. Joie - 25% off sitewide (code JOIEFRIENDS), including this to die for fur jacket and this sweater cape. I would buy the whole store if possible!

2. Equipment - 25% off sitewide (code EQFRIENDS). I'm loving their new Hadley pant in pretty much every color, and you just can't go wrong with their signature shirt.

3. Current Elliott - 25% off sitewide (code CEFRIENDS). I had always thought of CE as a jeans company, but they have a great outwear section definitely worth checking out!

4. Bloomingdales - 20% off sitewide (code FRIENDS). 

5. J.Crew - 25% off all full prices styles (code STYLETIME). Ohhh soo many good things at J.Crew as usual... The outwear for one - love this trench. I've had my eyes on it for a couple years now!

6. Vince - extra 40% off sale items (discount taken at checkout). Always good to jump on the Vince sales since they don't have them often...

7. Forward by Elyse Walker - big sale! Some major higher end designer picks here. I always want pretty much everything on this site, but my top pics include: the rag & bone booties you want to make sure you own this season & this DVF leather crop jacket.

8. Tory Burch - 25% off sitewide (code FRIENDLIEST). Uh I could order the whole site, but I'll stick to these over the knee boots (gorgeous!!!), and no time better than now to stock up on the staple reva flats!

More to come soon! I hope you all have a great weekend. 

In the Home: Animal Behavior

Images via 1/2/3/4/5/6

I just love a little animal print accent or a cowhide rug in the home. It's the perfect finishing touch. I'm also a huge fan of (faux) fur and sheepskin, although sheepskin tends to get dirty easily if you're using it as a rug, unless its next to your bed - there is nothing better than having your feet touch that first thing in the morning. I keep a restoration hardware faux fur throw on my bed at all times and I'm just obsessed with how it looks and feels. You can check out some photos I posted of that here. Oh and that ottoman in the last picture? I need it immediately. Gorgeous.
