We drove from the lake house to Chicago late last night, so I’m just getting back into the swing of things today. But I thought I’d pop in to highlight some faves from the Nordstrom sale, since everything ships free and the sale ends tomorrow. Today is the last day to enter the current $100 Nordstrom gift card giveaway, btw! Simply comment in the comment section below, and you’ll be entered to win. The winner will be announced tonight around midnight. Good luck!
Winner: Kim M.!

The $30 peacoat. Yes, that’s correct. It’s $30! I have it in camel, but I love it black, gray and oxblood, too. While it’s not for a true Chicago winter, it’s unbelievably warm considering how lightweight it is. Just be sure to size up. I usually wear a size XS in coats, and I took this one in a size small.
There are a ton of Sorel boots on sale. My favorites are the Slimpack II, the Tofino II, the Joan of Arctic, and the navy Joan of Arctic. I’ve said it countless times before, and I’ll say it again: if you’re tired of freezing feet, get a pair. They’re the warmest boots I’ve ever owned, and they truly changed my life. (My dad wore them in the Air Force, and he swears by them, too!)
You can’t see it very well, but I’m wearing my favorite cashmere crewneck (only $55 today!) in the above photo.

Halogen sweaters are my favorite, and the deals on ’em this week are crazy. I LOVE this cashmere crewneck, which is on sale for only $55 and also comes in a v-neck version. I think this camel vest is super cute, too!

My favorite Rag & Bone jeans are on sale. They’re my go-to casual jeans because they’re insanely soft and fit like a glove. I’m somewhere between 5’4 and 5’5, and they hit right at my ankle, which is perfect for wearing booties with ’em. For reference, I find them to run completely TTS. I also love this pair.

BP. has a huge sale section. This is one of my favorite sweaters because it looks awesome with skinny jeans or leggings, and it’s only $20. This pom pom hat is adorable, I can’t get over the price on these velour leggings, this long cardigan is such a staple, and I own this pullover and it’s SO soft! I wear it over plaid button-downs during the holidays. This cardigan, btw, is by Hinge, but I thought I should include it! :)
I’m VERY into Kate Spade shoes this year, as I think they’re beautifully made and very comfy. And there are so many currently on sale. I have this pair of scalloped pumps and they’re crazy comfy… and I just ordered this pair of black pumps (which also comes in patent) for parties and events. And how cute would this pair be for the holidays?! Or this pair or this pair?!
Madewell is also offering a lot of great deals. LOVE this top, but unfortunately, it sold out quickly. (Still available at Madewell, though! And it does come in white, too.) My leather tote is on sale, and I LOVE this sweater and this navy velvet dress. This is a great deal on a striped turtleneck for layering, and I can’t believe this utility jacket is included in the sale.
Blondo waterproof boots. THE BEST. I know I haven’t done a full blog post on them yet, but I’m insanely obsessed with these waterproof over-the-knee boots, which are on sale today. They look and feel like regular over-the-knee boots, but again: they’re completely waterproof. They’re also super comfy. I’d just recommend going up a half size. I usually wear a 7.5 in shoes, and I went with an 8 in these. Also adore these booties and this pair of riding boots.

My initial necklace is on sale for only $40. I wear it constantly! Love that it goes with essentially everything and I never have to switch up my jewelry game. (Ah, motherhood. No time.)
My friends think it’s a little funny that I’m so crazy about Free People since it’s not exactly the preppiest line. But everything is so cozy, and I live in CHICAGO. Can’t help myself. ;) And no, my scarf isn’t on sale, but it’s always backordered so I thought I should let you know that it’s back in stock. You can, however, see my Free People sale picks above!

Ralph Lauren. SUCH great coats. You can find the above coat at Macy’s on major sale, but I also love this camel coat and this white puffer coat–both of which are on sale.
Original post here.
Sam Edelman is another favorite, because every pair I’ve ever owned has been amazingly comfy. This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen on my favorite pair of booties, so swoop ’em up now! Not on sale, but these Gucci lookalikes are amazing, as as these Stuart Weitzman lookalikes (heeled version here).

This Tahari coat. So cute! I have it in blue, but it comes in a lot of other great colors as well. Certainly makes you stand out in that old sea of black coats.

Love these picks! Especially the Madewell plaid top.
Can’t believe that coat is only $30! Definitely swooping one up in navy to complete my coat collection. Thanks for this post, it’s always hard to suss out the sales!
Ugh! I love it all!!!

I’ve already entered the contest but, I have a question (that psst feels ridiculous to ask). The Kate Spade Initial Necklace…..Do you use the initial of your first name or last name? What do people usually choose? I am purchasing….so classic.
Thanks for the great sale tips!
Great sale finds! Love Sorel boots! They are definitely a must for Chicago/WI winters!

great picks, thanks!! cmmontello (at) gmail (dot) com
Hope you guys had a wonderful thanksgiving at the lake! Hopefully you’ll be on the east coast sometime over Christmas so we can catch up!
I moved to Chicago a few months ago, from the East coast. And I am literally terrified of the cold that’s coming. I keep telling my husband I don’t know if I can make it. It’s not even winter and I am freezing. Seriously considering in investing in a Canada Goose after seeing your review.
Love all of the cute ideas on here! I want them all
Love all of these picks! Happy to say I have one of them! Jaimehighfield@gmail.com
Love you blog & your Instagram!
