Luxe for Less: Everlane

The older I get I realize that I need to back away from these teeny bopper cheap stores.  My nerves frayed while shopping in these stores with all the “OMG”, “Totes” and giggling going on.   I’m in the fitting room trying on things that don’t fit and asking myself “What am I doing here”.  Moving forward, my goal is to focus on quality and not quantity.  Every grown woman needs to own quality pieces of classic wardrobe essentials like a pair of nice jeans, a great handbag, sweaters and the list goes on.  One thing I've always wanted to have in my closet was something Cashmere!   Once you touch some good cashmere you know why people over pay for this luxury material.  If you are coveting luxurious cashmere and silk pieces for your grown woman wardrobe for a realistic price, Everlane has you covered!

10 Gifts for Your Bestie Under $50

I'm not quite in the Christmas spirit yet.  I should be in the spirit after I try to do all my shopping this weekend.  Today I am sharing some great gift ideas you can buy for your bestie, sister or me : ).

Shop Small this Saturday

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  I'm happy to announce we have been invited to a few dinners on Thanksgiving Day after begging on the blog so I will not be cooking!  I am thankful for that!

After Black Friday, make sure to participate in Small Business Saturday.  We all get caught up shopping at the big chain stores for the holidays.  I think it's important that we support our small businesses the best we can.  I love small businesses because you can find items that no one else carries.  I wanted to share some of my favorite small businesses that you can shop for Small Business Saturday and beyond.

Shoe Haul: H&M Kids

So I kinda went H.A.M on H&M online.  I came across these cute "Chucks" look-a-likes in my local H&M's kids section but the colors and sizes I wanted were not available.  Since H&M launched the online shopping, I've been able to find items that I could not find in the stores.  I also took advantage of 20% off kids sale.

Recent Shopping Spree

So I have failed at this no shopping thing for myself.  I already told you how I broke down day two and purchased some accessories.  Then the next week I went to the mall to check out the Macy's Prom event and ended up in Forever 21!  Then Rachel Roy had an additional 30% off sale!  I have not stopped since!  I really have a problem!  But the blog is called Baby Shopaholic so please check out what I got for Peyton recently.

I got this cute Little Trendstar top for Peyton from Open Sky, it was $12 and I had $8 a credit.  I did get a skirt for myself, but lets just say I paid $4!

Found this cute headband is from Kahyoot for $6.  I may have to borrow it from Peyton : )

I received a Klout.com perks for Gilt Groupe!  I was able to get 60% off!  Word!  So I got Peyton these cute Joe's Jeans shorts!

Cute blouse by Lola et Moi from Gilt.  She should be able to wear this spring and in the fall if she doesn't get to big.

Cardigan by Imoga from Gilt.com.  It is too cute!  It has a gold shimmer detail, not sure if you can see it in the picture.

I stocked up on some headbands from Forever 21.  They were $1.50 each!  See Peyton rocking the yellow one here.

Where have you been finding good deals lately?
