Hello.

We are now four days into December which means it will be Christmas day in twenty-one days. Oh how time flies when you’re in a pandemic.

All I know is I’ve never been more thankful for online shopping because if I thought I had to find gifts for everyone while wearing a mask in a mall? Hard pass.

Although Gulley and I are having our annual Christmas shopping weekend this weekend. However, we’ve already decided it looks a lot like us going to Target and a few stores on Friday and then watching the A&M vs. Auburn game on Saturday morning while we wrap presents. Or maybe just while we drink coffee with Bailey’s in it. Whatever.

Here are some cute things I found this week that could potentially make great gifts for you or someone you love.

1. bernadette sequined midi dress

This dress is perfect for the holidays. And while I realize we may not have many gatherings this year, it’s so pretty and on sale and you might be really glad you added it to your closet later on.

It’s normally $228 but it’s 50% off this weekend and just $114.

2. oversized fuzzy sweatshirt with pockets

If there was an item of clothing that could basically help us get through the last of 2020 and welcome 2021, I believe it is this oversized sweatshirt. It’s fuzzy, it’s soft and it has pockets. It’s essentially a security blanket for grown women.

It’s $29.99.

3. leopard faux fur jacket

I love a leopard fur jacket. This one is normally $168 but is on sale for $84 this weekend.

4. pilcro lonline lily cardigan

I think this is so beautiful and a great way to keep warm. The colors in it are divine.

It’s normally $198 but on sale for $99 this weekend.

5. quinn sequined tunic blouse

This is another great holiday option and would look great with some faux leather leggings.

It’s on sale for $74 this weekend. It also comes in white.

6. deco diamond pendant necklace

I think these are so pretty and would make a great gift. They’re on sale for $39 this weekend.

7. gap fleece turtleneck sweatshirt

This is super cute in person and really cozy. In my opinion it’s the perfect winter sweatshirt to wear with joggers when you want to look pulled together but still comfortable.

It’s normally $59.95 but 50% off with code FAST50. It comes in a bunch of color options.

8. old navy tulip-hem pullover sweatshirt

This is another great sweatshirt option and is long enough to wear with leggings. I’m always looking for a good sweatshirt to wear over my workout clothes.

This is $39.99 plus an additional 35% off at checkout.

9. stars above animal print pajamas

I love the Stars Above pajamas and these leopard ones are so cute. Perfect Christmas gift or a great treat for yourself for working yourself into a frenzy trying to make Christmas magical.

These are $29.99.

10. juliette collarless blazer

These are the most versatile little sweater/blazer thing and they’re on sale for $79.50 plus an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE at checkout. They come in several color options and look great with everything from jeans to office wear to joggers or leggings.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. I’m over here just shopping online and thinking about how I’m never going to eat again.

Until tomorrow.

Or later tonight.

1. printed long dress

I think this is such a gorgeous dress for the holidays and it’s on sale for $74.99.

2. knox rose long sleeve button-down shirt

I love a plaid tunic and this one is a great length and color combo. It’s $29.99.

3. melody velvet tunic dress

I think these velvet tunics are so pretty and a great way to be dressed up yet still comfortable. You can wear these with a pair of faux leather leggings and have a great holiday outfit.

This is $148 but 30% off right now. It comes in several color options.

4. universal thread peasant top

This top is on sale for $21.24 and comes in a few other colors, but I love this red for the holiday season.

5. old navy plaid flannel shirt

Old Navy has great plaid flannels. They are normally $29.99 but are 50% off right now. They come in a bunch of color options.

6. aerie button mock neck sweater

This is such a great sweater. I have a hard time resisting any kind of cream color sweater and this is no exception.

It’s on sale for $35.97.

7. ribbed balloon sleeve sweater

This sweater is normally $70 but on sale for $39.90 and comes in a ton of color options.

8. boucle funnel neck pullover sweater

This is so pretty and long enough for leggings.

It’s normally $79 but on sale for $37.42.

9. allie + bess bracelets

I am such a fan of all things Allie + Bess. Their bracelets are so gorgeous and well made.

They are offering 30% off everything on their site with code BLACKFRIDAY30 at checkout.

10. anrabess casual turtleneck tunic sweater

This is one of my favorite purchases of the year. This sweater is great with leggings, super comfortable and comes in a ton of color options.

Best of all, it’s just $35.99. It would make a great Christmas gift because the sizing is pretty forgiving.

That’s it for today.

Happy shopping.

Hope you have a good Friday.

It’s hard to believe that we are on the official countdown to Christmas. I can honestly say I have yet to put up one decoration or buy one gift. I still have pumpkins on my porch that may or may not be rotten and flowers in my flowerpots that are leftover from the summer.

Maybe after Thanksgiving I’ll get it together. Or maybe I’ll just put Santa hats on my pumpkins.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. teardrop hoop earrings

I love a simple gold earring that you can wear every day. These would make a great gift or stocking stuffer.

They are $29.95 plus an extra 30% off. They also come in silver.

2. cloth and stone lianna buttondown

This is a great basic buttondown that can be worn year round.

It’s on sale for $59.95 plus an extra 30% off. It also comes in white.

3. a new day long sleeve smocked blouse

I think this top would be so pretty for the holidays.

It’s $24.99. It also comes in cream or rust.

4. sigrid duster kimono

It has yet to get cold here other than a couple of “cool” fronts that haven’t lasted long so the last thing I need is another sweater. I do love this though.

It’s on sale for $99.95 plus an extra 30% off.

5. tavi embroidered buttondown

This is another great basic top that can be worn year round. It comes in a couple of other colors.

It’s on sale for $49.95 plus an extra 30% off.

6. rani sweater blazer

I’ve been seeing these sweater blazers everywhere and really like them.

This one is on sale for $99.95 plus an extra 30% off.

7. tinopi burnout velvet duster kimono

How gorgeous is this? The reviews are so good which makes it even more intriguing.

It’s on sale for $99.95 plus an extra 30% off.

8. zesica turtleneck sweater

This is just a great basic sweater to wear with jeans or even joggers. It comes in a bunch of color options and is just $28.79.

9. stars above lounge cardigan

This lounge cardigan is so soft and would make a great Christmas gift.

It’s $29.99 and comes in ivory, gray or pink.

10. brushed plaid coat

This coat has a total 70’s thing going on which, of course, makes it my favorite.

It’s $74.99 but 40% off.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday and a lovely Thanksgiving week.

Hi.

How are you?

This is going to be quick today because it’s midnight and I just drove back from Houston so I’m a little tired and need my bed.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. with love denim top

I saw this denim top online at Free People and, well, I’m in love. I believe in the value and versatility of a good denim shirt and this one has these sleeves that totally elevate it. This would be great with anything but I’m picturing it with a maxi skirt.

It’s $98 and it comes in several other denim colors.

2. aubrie heeled hiking boots

I saw these boots at Target and they are so cute. I love a hiking boot but a hiking boot with a heel makes me want to say best friends forever.

These are $39.99. They also come in black.

3. mountain top view knit sweater

It’s still mainly hot here and I’m ready for some sort of fall weather. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to this sweater that is the color leaves are supposed to be in the fall except I wouldn’t really know because we go straight from summer to winter here.

It’s $50 and it also comes in black and dark mustard.

4. see the rainbow sweater

I adore this sweater. That pastel rainbow owns me, plus the sleeves are perfection.

It’s $64.

5. oversized plaid overcoat

Old Navy has done a great job with their coats and blazers this year. I really love this one in red although there is a navy version. It would be so cute in Christmas card pictures assuming we’re sending Christmas cards this year.

It’s $68.

6. johnny cash pullover

I think we all know by now that I enjoy a lightweight sweatshirt. I also enjoy Johnny Cash. Thus, this sweatshirt is all I really need.

I’d order up a size because I like my sweatshirts roomy. It’s on sale for $55.99.

7. kut from the kloth boyfriend jeans

I bought a pair of Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans last year and they have become my favorite pair of boyfriend jeans. They fit great and are a great wash. I can’t find my exact pair but these are very similar. In my experience they run true to size.

They’re $89.

8. celina ankle boots

I got these black snakeskin boots from ABLE and I love them so much. They are super comfortable and just made really well. They are pricey at $218 but you can get 25% off anything at ABLE with code BIGMAMA at checkout.

9. mod chain lariat necklace

I love this lariat chain necklace. It would actually make a great Christmas gift.

It’s $68 but 25% off with code BIGMAMA25 at checkout. And ABLE has a bunch of cute jewelry that would make great gifts.

It also may be a good time to buy the merly denim jacket that I love.

It’s the best denim jacket I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a lot in my time.

You can get 25% off with code BIGMAMA25 at checkout.

10. patterned flannel pajamas

Old Navy has their flannel Christmas pjs on sale for $20 and they have some really cute patterns. Some of the reviews say the top is kind of short, but I figure the pants alone are worth $20 even if the top doesn’t work out. I can wear them with my Johnny Cash sweatshirt.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

So.

Anything interesting going on in the world this week?

via GIPHY

Here are some cute things I found that have nothing to do with United States politics.

1. a new day fleece hooded sweatshirt

This is the best sweatshirt and it’s just $20. It’s a little boxy, hits at the waist but is super flattering and cozy. Super cute with jeans and sneakers.

It comes in a bunch of color options.

2. aerie offline high waisted crackle leggings

These are the best faux leather leggings. They are much more comfortable than Spanx and are great to dress up or wear as athleisure.

They are on sale for $41.21 and comes in several color options.

3. crushed it camel vegan fur boots

I really love these boots. They are $48 and also come in black.

5. pilcro ruffled denim button-down

I love this take on the classic denim shirt and it’s on sale for $59.95 plus an extra 25% off.

It also comes in a blue denim if that’s more your style. I honestly like both color options.

6. cozy chunky knit sweater

This sweater would be so pretty for the holidays and it’s $49. It comes in several other color options.

7. delight my heart animal pullover

I really love this fleece pullover. It also comes in a true leopart print but I think this cream version is so pretty.

It could also make a great Christmas gift. It’s $54.

8. pilcro leilani tunic

This shirt totally feels like the 70s to me. I’d wear it with a pair of flare jeans and wedge heels.

It comes in other colors as well and is $78.

9. knox rose plaid long sleeve dress

This darling plaid dress is just $29.99.

I love the red and black for the holidays but it also comes in a brown and navy plaid.

10. ae oversized long sleeve henley

This is such a great shirt to wear alone or under a cardigan. It’s long enough for leggings and on sale for $15 to $17 depending on the color you choose.

That’s it for today.
