Private Tory Burch Sale!

Private Tory Burch Sale ends Monday, Oct. 26 at 11:59 ET

Creating a gallery wall is something I’ve wanted to do for–oh, I don’t know–the last TEN YEARS at this point. I don’t even know what exactly it was that prevented me from buckling down and doing it. But I have a few speculations:

Quick post today, as I stayed up way too late breaking and fixing my site, haha. (Always the struggle, CSS/PHP and me!) So while I catch up on sleep, I’ll leave you with a look I recently wore on an extremely warm–and windy–October day.

Does October have to end?!

Tuckernuck Sale Extended!

Jacket

Tuckernuck has extended its Friends & Family Sale until tonight at midnight (ET)! The 20 percent-off and free shipping code “FRIENDSHIP” applies to everything, including Canada Goose and Barbour. My favorite quilted Barbour is available (also available in green), as is my classic one (also available in navy).

I sprung for this Canada Goose jacket in navy on Saturday, and I have ZERO REGRETS. :) Granted, it hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m already feeling more confident about the upcoming winter season. Chicago weather is intense, but I’m going to be totally prepared this year! Thoughts on wearing ski mittens? (#gobigorgohome)

Other purchases I’m considering: this tan blanket scarf, this hunter green blanket scarf, this faux fur collar, this statement bracelet, and this packable sun hat. (Vacation, Mitch? ;) What do you have your eye on?

October in the City

Patagonia Better Sweater 1/4 Zip (Also available here and here!), Hudson Jeans, Herschel Supply Co. Backpack and Sperry Saltwater Plaid Boots c/o

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that I’m not exactly a fan of the great outdoors. I mean, I enjoy being outside–but I just prefer being outside in cities. ;) So when my friends told me about Loews Chicago Hotel’s First Annual Harvest Fest and Pumpkin Patch, I was thrilled. A biergarten and pumpkin patch–plus food and fall games–all surrounded by huge city buildings?! And pumpkin profits that go to charity?! Sign me UP.

Mitch and I attended the event with Jess, Neal, Kit and Jenn, and we had a great time. And with the help of Zappos, I was completely ready for the festivities!

Three Major Sales

Private Tory Burch Sale!

Private Tory Burch Sale ends Monday, Oct. 26 at 11:59 ET

GUYS. This is huge. Tuckernuck is currently having its Friends & Family Sale, and the 20 percent-off and free shipping code “FRIENDSHIP” applies to everything. Including Canada Goose and Barbour. Amazing, right? My favorite quilted Barbour is available (also available in green), as is my classic one (also available in navy).

I know this is crazy, but I think I’m going to spring for this Canada Goose jacket. My incredibly stylish cousin, Annie, has it… and she says she gets overheated in it, even in negative temps. (Like, what?!) And I seriously cannot take these Chicago winters. Maya says last year wasn’t even that bad. (Disagree.) I’ve been considering purchasing a Canada Goose for about a year now, and I think it’s time!

ALSO: Kate Spade is currently having its Friends & Family Sale. Use code “INDULGE” to take 25 percent off. (Shipping is free!)

I’ll be the first to admit that these days, my mornings are pretty wonderful. For eight years, I dragged myself out of bed at 5 or 6 a.m. and schlepped myself to the Bronx, and no matter where I was coming from–the Upper East Side, the East Village, or Hoboken–it was absolute torture. Some people are morning people. I–as my friends and family know–am not. ;)

Thank Your Girlfriends

Draper James Skirt (Coming soon, but #omg — this one?!), Shirt (It’s called the “Lucy Embellished Lace Button Down Shirt”) and Bag c/o / Cole Haan Sandals c/o Nordstrom Rack / J.Crew Bracelet (And have I mentioned how much I love this one?!) / Moon and Lola Earrings (On sale!) c/o Tuckernuck / Helen Ficalora Necklace c/o

Shopbop’s Friends & Family Sale is on! Shop my faves:

Today, I’m posting photos from my last shoot with Draper James in New York — partly because it’s still skirt weather here in Chicago, partly because I’m crazily in love with Reese Witherspoon’s new clothing line, partly because I’m a little homesick right now, partly because these photos remind me of the summer, and partly because one of my very best friends from New York (Mandi) just booked a flight to come visit me in early November.

SO MANY PARTLYS.

(Shoot One // Shoot Two)

But seriously: Happy day. :)

GUYS. Apparently there’s this sweet spot between seasons in Chicago, and we’re IN it. Typically, I’m the girl shivering in 70-degree weather, but I’ve been pairing cozy fall sweaters with summery dresses for the past few days. And Mitch has been wearing shorts, haha.

Shopbop Friends & Family

Sorel Boots / Blank NYC Jeans

(Today’s real post here.)

The best sales, in my opinion, are sales are those that include products that aren’t normally discounted. And while this year’s Shopbop Friends & Family Sale certainly has its fair share of brand exclusions, it also has a whole of inclusions. :)

From now until October 15th at 11:59 ET, use code “INTHEFAM25” to take 25 percent off your entire Shopbop order. (And, as always, shipping is free!) My eyes are on this tote, these boots (for #chiberia), and this weekender. But check out my other picks below!

Some brands that are excluded: Hunter, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Canada Goose, Rag & Bone and Stuart Weitzman.
