Diary

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?

It’s $69 and comes in a bunch of colors.

This darling leopard scarf is on sale for $19.95 and would make a great Christmas gift. Especially if you paired it with this matching leopard faux fur pom pom hat.

I love this because it’s maroon but also because I am powerless to resist a waffle knit top.

I know I keep talking about these jeans but they really are that great. They are as comfortable as leggings, but come in so many great denim wash options.
