It feels like every year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday blend into each other … and this year, they’re earlier than ever. One blogger called last week Pre-Game Friday. Are the deals now really as good as they will be on the Friday after Thanksgiving? Who knows. Is there a quieter/less spend-spend-spendy way to BF/CM?…

Research Announcement: Shorts
Occasionally I publish Research Lists wherein I am looking for some fashion item for myself and either need your help or to share my work with the class. Today, we are doing something different. Today, you must go purchase these shorts: AE Dreamy Drape Stretch Short My husband wears what I would consider “real” shorts…

this list is for me: five things to buy myself on black friday or cyber monday on the internet
All the “Black Friday” sales are starting now. I love it, let me online shop at my leisure. But it’s also kinda dumb – now just another excuse for a sale, and we’re not seeing the crazy-steep discounts we have on previous Black Fridays. Of course, on the actual Friday, or Cyber Monday, we still…
Talking Chain
I constantly wonder WHO are the people out there buying multiple-thousand-dollar jewelry?! Like, gems, okay maybe, but just regular jewelry?! Because I absolutely LOVE Marla Aaron and have posted her goods in checklists 27, 63, 77, but she is expensive. Nonetheless, she’s released another new style and another time I am absolutely obsessed: introducing the…
Hot Girl Walk in Senita
I believe in the hot girl walk. The focus-on-yourself, reflect-in-gratitude, low-impact cardio walk. And there is no place better than Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) winding through the center of Austin, full of people and dogs to watch. I haven’t ever done a group one though! Enter my fave athletic wear brand: Senita. I’m leading…
Christmas List/Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Giving Tuesday
Y’all I don’t wanna be a bratty blogger but I have BEEN THROUGH IT this past month with this blog (and my other sites). I’ve worked through a host (pun intended) of issues, gotten hacked a bunch of times, and—fingers and toes crossed, wood knocked upon—finally have the site cleaned. Here’s hoping we’re back to…
New Obsession: MIGNONNE GAVIGAN
I am obsessed with this new-to-me eponymous jewelry line Mignonne Gavigan, I’m not exactly sure why: is it the combination of earthy and fancy? Oversized and delicate? Unexpected shapes and combinations? Like this necklace: absolutely cannot get over it. White or multi? I literally can’t decide and love them both. Confession: I ordered the colorful…
Teti Sandal Judgment Target Shopping Spree
I was trying to get ready for a date and my sister-in-law was fashion consulting. She wanted me to wear flats because it was an outdoor drinks date (but on a Saturday night! and he’s 6’3″!) so I showed her my sandal collection … an extensive set consisting of a “brown” pair I called nude…
5 Things on a Late Christmas List
It’s sunny and 65 here, so it hardly feels like Christmas. But I’m pretty sure my parents called every member of my family from Costco or some other shopping destination today, asking us questions about what the others wanted. Don’t worry, mom and dad, no one has bought anyone anything yet—and what I have bought,…
