A few of my latest looks...and the Anthro pre-Black Friday sale has begun!

Happy Wednesday!  Today is the start to our Thanksgiving break...yay!  Everyone is excited to take a break and relax for a few days.  We've all been so busy lately which is good, but a little break is a welcome thought.  

As you can tell my blogging has been a little inconsistent lately...I hope to get back to a normal schedule soon.  Turns out opening a business is a little time consuming!  =)  I'm still snapping pictures of my outfits most days though so I thought I'd share a handful from last week (left to right):

*************

Black Friday sale talk is swirling and Anthropologie is getting a head start by releasing a new (quite large) round of sale items this morning!  I have my eye on a few things...I'll report back with the damage in my next post. =)  Word on the street is that Black Friday will bring an extra % off sale items...we shall see!  I'm wondering if they'll honor price adjustments???  I've always been able to get them in the past on Black Friday but you just never know.  Shop at your own risk!

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate tomorrow, and happy two days before Black Friday!!!  I'm sooooo excited!  I'm headed out with a few friends to try to score some great deals...what are your plans?

What I Wore Wednesday: Pattern Mixing

Happy Wednesday!

Just a week and a day away from Thanksgiving...and more importantly just a week and 2 days away from Black Friday!!!  I don't have a game plan in place just yet but I'll be braving the crowds amongst all the rest of the crazies, I can guarantee.  It's my favorite day of the year!!!  

Are you still into pattern mixing?  Sometimes I wonder if people are over it...I'm not.  I still love it.  A few weeks ago for church I pulled out some stripes and some Missoni-like Chevron to pair together and really loved how it came out:


Building Your Repertoire Dress-Modcloth
Seared Chevrons Cardigan-Anthropologie
Joppa Pumps-Anthropologie
Kulfi Strands Necklace-Anthropologie
Golden Totem Bracelet Set-Anthropologie

I'll be pattern mixing for years to come, I'm sure.  Stripes and anything go together, am I right?!

In case you're already getting a jump on your holiday shopping for your girlfriends, sisters, mother-in-law, or any of the women in your life, check out our new arrivals and restock over at Piper Street!  Here's a few of our latest new arrivals:


This dress is gorgeous with it's lace detail on the sleeve.  Also comes in blush ("Lily") and mocha ("Blair").


This dress is another great striped basic to wear alone or layer to your heart's content...so cute!  And we all need a great denim shirt in our wardrobe.  This one is the perfect shade of blue and looks great styled many ways.


And just FYI, we are now offering FREE SHIPPING on orders of $75 or more!!

I'm off to get my day started...hope you have a great one!

Date Night...and a Piper Street $50 gift card giveaway!!!

Happy Thursday all!  Hope your week is going good!

It's been another busy week around these parts but I just figure life is nuts from November-December no matter what you do so I better get used to it!  Busy is good though...it keeps things interesting!

Over the weekend my hubby and I were able to get out for a date night.  We had dinner at PF Changs and then met up with friends at BJ's for Pizookies.  Oh, how I love a good dessert!

Here's what I wore:

Glimmered Tweed Jacket-Anthropologie
Always Skinny Jeans-Gap
Seychelles "Gypsy" Sandals (old)

This jacket was an investment piece and I absolutely love it.  It is classic, yet modern all in one.  It's actually pretty warm too...I won't be able to wear it as my primary coat in the dead of winter, but for now it worked!

Fall Formula

When I think fall I think rich, bold colors mixed with boots and cardigans.  It's a tried and true formula...


Origial Polyvore set for this look can be found HERE

Top-Gap Factory
"Riley" Cardigan-Piper Street
Pilcro Stet Slim Straight Denim-Anthropologie
Miz Mooz "Siri" Knee-High Boots-Amazon
Tarn Necklace-Anthropologie
Dimpled Hoop Earrings-Anthropologie

Fall may quickly be turning into winter very soon...like in less than 12 hours.  The weather forecast is calling for snowfall at our house tonight.

And so it begins. 

Our whole family is enjoying a day off thanks to Veteran's Day today.  May we all remember those who have served our country in the past and present.  I'm so grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and much of that is due to the bravery and heroism of soldiers spanning the years.  

Just FYI, Piper Street is offering free shipping today in honor of Veteran's Day!  If you've been waiting for a free shipping deal, now is your chance!! =)

Enjoy your day!

Five Things Friday

Five things...


1. 

I've been loving fall TV...anyone else so happy to have some good shows back on to watch?  My DVR is plenty backed up right now because I've been so busy but I'm totally into Scandal, Biggest Loser, Project Runway:All-Stars, Grey's, Trophy Wife and Modern Family, of course.  What are your favorite shows as of late?


2. 

I'm in the market for a laptop bag.  Of course it must be cute and functional all in one (notice how cute gets listed first).  Here's a few I have my eyes on:

Tuesday Tidbits...

Happy Tuesday....and happy November!!  Seriously, how is it already November?  It's such a fun time of year with the holidays coming! 

This past week has been a blur....a good blur, but a blur, nonetheless.  Piper Street has been keeping me busy but we're loving every second! I wanted to express a heartfelt thanks to all those friends, family, blog readers and complete strangers for helping our first week be such a success.  We have so much in store for the shop and are excited to be adding new products all the time!  You can keep up to date on product restocks and new item additions by checking our Facebook page and Instagram account daily!  We have contests going on right now on both!  Want to win a free dress?  Check them out!!!



Believe it or not I do try to snap a picture most days of what I'm wearing and I do intend to still share them with you here on my blog.  In fact here's a look I recently wore:


Elsinore Peasant Top-Anthropologie
Chunky Cardigan-Target
Polka Dot Always Skinny Jeans-Gap

I cannot tell you how much I love this cardigan!  It came in multiple colors, all of which were great. If you haven't grabbed one of these up yet at your local store, run now!!  

What's one of your favorite latest purchases??  I'd love to hear!

Have a fantastic Tuesday!!
