50 percent off tartan pants with code “MONDAY.”
WINNER: Kelsey Calhoun
Aaaand we’re back! A big thanks to Mitch for taking over the blog this weekend so I could spend some quality time with the girls. :) It was such a nice weekend! The weather was pretty awful–so cold and rainy–but it was the perfect excuse to hang around the house and get to know our new living and play rooms. We’re thrilled. Life is like one ZILLION times easier with little kiddos now that they have those spaces to play… and I can’t wait to get everything really set up for them. I think we’re going to head to Ikea next weekend, but a few things we’re looking for:
- A very plush rug. Lucy is still wobbly, and she topples over from time to time. We always sit with her, but I’d still love to find a rug that has some added protection in it. Any suggestions?! (Thank you!)
- Foam floor squares. This actually might solve that problem; not sure. Never had the space for them before so never looked into it! Thoughts? Has anyone found any that aren’t horrifically ugly? (Not that it really matters, haha. If the best/safest ones are rainbow-colored, rainbow-colored it is! Can you tell that I’m a worrier?)
- Toy storage. I’m overwhelmed. I want to make the room look warm and inviting… and I want them to be able to access everything easily. I know we need plastic tubs for storage, but have you found any that are good for toddlers to open? (Definitely want to continue working on responsibility and putting away our messes, so that’s key!) Seriously, though. If you have anything that works well for you, please let me know. We have an Ikea Kallax shelf, so I’m thinking about that for books… but that’s as far as I’ve gotten.
Anyway! Back to Cyber Monday. Here are my favorite deals along with a second (and final) chance to win the $500 to shop ’em! (Here is the first chance. Winner will be announced and contacted mid-day.)

Nordstrom
Up to 50 percent off the Cyber Sale. It’s crazy! SO much good stuff is included, but I’ve included a few faves above. This is my favorite cardigan of all time, I couldn’t live without these faux leather leggings, I just got this sweater and I’m obsessed, I’ve given this initial necklace as a gift on countless occasions, this is perfect for your mother, “Neutral Rose” is the only lipstick I wear, I love that Blondo boots look and feel like regular boots but they’re actually rain boots, you need a Wubby, and these are my favorite Sorel boots. (Nothing warmer than Sorel!)
J.Crew
Shop crazy Cyber Monday deals and take 50 percent off your order–including sale products–with code “MONDAY.” Amazing! You can see everything that I have my eye on here, but I’m really focused on this supersoft sweater dress and this New Year’s top right now. (Festive, somewhat casual since it’s a tee, AND warm. Winner!) Also, this is the softest chambray shirt I own; I want this (haha); these are the perfect velvet leggings; the Cocoon Coat, Lady Day Coat and Chateau Parka are all included; this tartan sweater is a must; I think this is the coziest sweater I currently own (so soft!); this herringbone number is a top-seller; all the tartan pants are back in stock; I wore these perfect tartan flats yesterday for Thanksgiving; and I predict that people are going to go crazy over this pom pom sweater and this one, too. Oh wait! And the classic rollneck sweater is now available in fair isle. And these are my favorite pajamas. They look just like the classic pair, but they’re super soft and cozy. And they don’t wrinkle! The navy is fantastic.

I’m in love with Hand & Craft and their line of perfectly designed charging accessories. I guess I’m just sick of tripping over a pile of ugly extension cords and chargers at my desk. My personal favorite is the marble and gold Monument. Today they’re taking 30% off the Monument, Willow and Apparatus. -Mitch

If you’re close enough to gift someone boxers, I think these boxers are a steal. On a personal note, I wear Christmas themed boxers all year ’round so I plan to buy a few dozen of these to tide me over until next Black Friday. -Mitch

I think Cathy’s Concepts might be the best place to shop for those supremely difficult names on your list. They recently launched a new website and we’re obsessed. -Mitch

A good beanie can make or break a winter and the Linus Beanie from Sh*t That I Knit is the best beanie I’ve ever owned. It’s warm and cool at the same time plus, and this really can’t be understated, Sh*t That I Knit is the best brand name of all time. Period. -Mitch

My mother-in-law gifted me this pair of Bean Boots exactly five years ago and I wear them daily this time of year. Giving away Bean Boots must run in the family ;) -Mitch

I know some of this stuff is extremely splurgy, but Mark & Graham’s line of baseball leather products are the best. This is the kind of stuff that you have for decades and it looks better each time you use it. I use the baseball leather Dopp kit at home just to feel fancy. -Mitch
