Listen.

I have lived in Texas all my life. I am aware that we have crazy weather fluctuations. But this week we have managed to cram in all the seasons in the span of three days.

Monday was about 75 degrees and felt like spring. I spent Tuesday in Austin and it was 85 degrees and felt like early summer. And then it actually SNOWED on Wednesday night. I mean it was like fourteen snowflakes, but still. SNOW.

So today’s post is basically a mix of clothes that will carry you through all of the above because weather is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get. (Until it’s summer in Texas and then you just know you’re getting HOT.)

Here are a few cute things I found this week:

1. paloma knit tunic

This sweater tunic has great reviews and it’s on sale for $59.95 plus an extra 25% off. It also comes in gray and black. The reviews do say that this red isn’t so much a red as it is a rust color so keep that in mind.

Either way, I love the length, the sleeves and the fact that you can wear it with leggings.

2. isadora button back tunic

This darling shirt has great reviews and it’s on sale for $59.95 plus an extra 25% off. It comes in several different color variations, but please not that it is dry clean only.

However, I think it’s worth it because these are some great color options that will easily take you into spring and summer.

3. candice bell-sleeved sweater

I think this is so pretty and it’s on sale for $89.95 plus an extra 25% off.

4. nike daybreak sneakers

I love a retro sneaker and these are perfection. They come in several color options, but I love this for spring and summer. They are $90.

5. vince camuto catheryna bootie

These booties are so great and I love the pointier toe, plus I’ve been needing a higher heel bootie in a brown color.

Even better, these were originally $139.95 but now 60% off and just $55.98. They also come in black leather.

6. wouldn’t change this light midi skirt

How cute is this skirt? I think it would be perfect with a white top or sweater for Easter and could even just be casual with a t-shirt and a denim jacket.

It comes in blue or a pretty peach pink and is $48.

7. oversized fashion sunglasses

I bought these last year and wear them all the time. I love the low pressure of a pair of sunglasses that are only $10.95. And they are almost perfect Celine knock-offs which would be about $300 more expensive.

8. befanni platform slide sandals

These sandals are everything I love in a sandal. They have a platform that gives height but is still functional. I love the woven detail and the various color combinations. They are $99.95.

9. ruffle edges sleeveless black dress

This is a great basic black dress that could easily be dressed up or down. It’s $46.

10. so much love jumpsuit

This jumpsuit looks like perfection if you love the idea of a jumpsuit that can be dressed up or down. It’s $44 and also comes in black or navy.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

Yep. It’s officially a new decade.

So far I have spent it like I spent the end of the last decade which is to say I’ve been in my pajamas watching Netflix. Better to start small and then lead up to bigger and better things.

I hope you all had a great Christmas and a good start to a new year. Here are some cute things I found in case you have some Christmas money to spend.

1. cressida wool sweater coat

Anthropologie has a ton of cute stuff on sale right now plus an additional 40% off. This coat is one of my personal favorites and I tend to believe no one does a sweater coat as well as Anthropologie.

This is on sale for $119.95 but an extra 40% off.

2. adidas ultraboost 19 running shoes

I’ve been waiting on these shoes to go on sale because I need new running shoes and these are super comfortable. I know that because of all the times I’ve tried them on and then decided not to pay full price. Of course now that I’ve ordered them, I’m going to have to follow up on my promise to myself to actually run in them. So that’s a bummer.

These are normally $180 but on sale for $120.60. If you don’t like this color combo, you may want to look for them other places online because this version is on sale at a lot of retailers.

3. gibson cozy tunic

This tunic is truly one of the softest things ever and a great length to wear with leggings. It’s on sale for $40.20 and comes in several color options.

4. ugg melrose shearling booties

These are a great alternative to tall Ugg boots if those are too bulky for you. I really like these and they are on sale for $99.90. They also come in black.

5. marisa ribbed tunic

I really like the sleeves on this tunic. It’s on sale for $59.95 plus an additional 40% off.

6. harper swing top

Talulah is one of my favorite online places to shop these days because they have cute clothes and great prices. This top is $36. It also comes in taupe.

7. h&m ribbed sweater

This is a great sweater and just $29.99. It also comes in ivory.

8. colorfulkoala buttery soft leggings

If you have a New Year’s resolution to work out more, then I highly recommend these leggings. They are my new favorites and I wear them when I’m working out and when I’m just doing things like trying to get the lights off my Christmas tree. They are buttery soft, yet flattering.

They are $22.99. For size reference, I wear a small so I would say they are true to size.

9. feiersi off shoulder pullover sweater

I ordered this sweater in a moment of desperation because I bought a new skirt and didn’t have a sweater to go with it. This is the beauty of Amazon Prime. I figured it would be decent enough and then it came in and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I ordered a medium and it can definitely be worn on the shoulder if you prefer that.

It’s $25.99 and comes in several color options.

10. kendra scott lynne hoop earrings

I think these are so pretty if you’re looking for a good pair of hoops. They are $38.98 and normally $78 but 50% off.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

So it’s finally Friday, which, THANK GOD.

I’ve always felt like the weeks after a week of vacation are the hardest because you’ve had a taste of the good life and then have to go back to being a responsible person who doesn’t stay up until 2:30 a.m. watching The Crown and then googling “Did Queen Elizabeth really go visit her Uncle Edward on his deathbed?”

I’ll be honest. I like vacation much better than the real world.

And these next two weeks are particularly hard because Christmas break is so close that you can feel it and it personally makes me want to do nothing but eat cookies and drink wine and listen to Christmas music. Oh, and I also have big plans to binge watch the new season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel because it’s important to have goals.

Here are some things I decided to feature this week. They are all things I’ve featured before but they are some of my personal favorite things that I own and wear on a regular basis. They might give you some ideas of things to get as Christmas gifts and/or things to wish for.

1. free people penny pull on flares

I know I’ve mentioned these jeans one hundred times but they are just that good. They are so comfortable and universally flattering. Plus they come in various lengths depending on what you need.

I love all the color options and the fact that they are just $78 which is a very reasonable price point for jeans. And Free People has free shipping on everything right now.

2. colorfulkoala high waisted buttery leggings

After trying several different brands of leggings from Amazon, these are a clear cut favorite. They wash and dry like a dream, don’t fade or stretch out and are perfect for actually working out or just wearing around as athleisure.

They come in a ton of color and pattern options and are a steal at $22.99. I like them more than my Lululemon leggings and that’s the highest compliment I can give.

3. blank nyc leather moto jacket

I looked high and low for the perfect black leather jacket and this is the best one I found for the price. It’s $98 and feels like real leather. I love the gold hardware because it makes it a little more feminine than what Arthur Fonzarelli used to wear.

It also comes in tan.

4. aerie play pocket and cuff leggings

I discovered these last year and now own them in four colors. The gray is still my favorite because it’s the most versatile, but all the colors are pretty. They are the perfect cross between a jogger and a legging. I get them in a medium and they are fitted without being tight and so soft that you won’t believe it.

They are on sale for $29.97.

5. adidas swift run sneakers

I bought these for Caroline two Christmases ago and she ended up abandoning them for my white slip on Vans. I feel like I got the better end of the deal because I still wear these almost every day. They are so comfortable and look so cute with all my athleisure wear and even my jeans with a sweater.

They are $85.

6. h&m hooded knit sweater

I love this hooded sweater. It looks equally great with leggings and sneakers or skinny jeans and tall boots. You can layer it under a pretty winter coat and it dresses it up or you can throw it on with joggers and wear it to the grocery store.

It’s $34.99 and it also comes in beige.

7. wild fable high rise liquid leggings

I featured these a few weeks ago because they are a great bargain alternative to the Spanx faux leather leggings. Do they suck you in as much as the Spanx? Don’t be ridiculous, of course they don’t. But are they on sale for $11.20? YES MA’AM.

I ordered the small and it’s a perfect fit and I’m 5’6″ and they hit right at my ankle. They look equally cute dressed up or dressed down.

8. bp longline turtleneck sweater

This is such a pretty, soft sweater and it looks great with the leggings above.

It comes in several color options, is thin enough to layer under a jacket and is just $39.

9. hometop memory foam slip on slippers

I bought these during the summer because I needed something to wear on my feet at night that wasn’t a sock because it was so dang hot. These are super comfortable and have lasted way longer than I thought they might.

They are just $19.99 and would make a great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer.

10. miranda peasant blouse

This darling blouse is back in stock at Anthropologie and they are offering 30% off right now on sweaters and blouses, which means it’s on sale for $89.60.

11. abercrombie shawl open front cardigan

This is one of my favorite cardigans. I bought it last fall and have worn the heck out of it. I’ve worn it with boots and jeans and I’ve thrown it on over my workout clothese on cold days. It’s so soft, a great length and on sale for $34.

It comes in several color options.

12. the merly jacket

This is one of my wardrobe staples. I really questioned whether a denim jacket could be worth $148, but it has been worth every penny. It’s so soft and broken in that it feels like you’ve had it forever. It’s a nice layer without being stiff or heavy and I love that I can easily wear it over a sweater or a sweatshirt. Plus, you can get 15% off if you sign up for emails from ABLE and you’re supporting women in need. That’s a total win.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your friends and family. Personally, I have consumed somewhere in the vicinity of quadruple an acceptable calorie count over the last two days and am going to need to put myself on some sort of program.

Today is the beginning (not really because almost everyone started their sales early) of all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale madness. There are tons of good deals to be found which makes it a great time to buy something you’ve been waiting to go on sale and/or to get your Christmas shopping started and/or finished.

Here are some cute things I found.

1. paloma knit tunic

This is such a pretty sweater and I love this red for the holidays. It’s the answer to all your Christmas outfit needs. It’s normally $98 but Anthropologie is offering 30% off everything today with no code needed.

It comes in several color options and also comes in plus sizes.

2. secrets of the heart red floral print maxi dress

I think this is so pretty. You do need to be aware that it has a cutout in the back, however it’s down low so it’s still bra friendly. It’s $59.

3. zesica long sleeve chenille velvet sweater

This sweater has great reviews that say things like it feels like wearing your favorite blanket and it’s just $30.99. It comes in several color options.

Reviews say to size up if you want it to fit like it does on the model.

4. shawl open front cardigan

I bought this last year in the off white color and still wear it all the time. It’s super soft and the perfect weight, plus it’s long enough to wear with leggings.

It’s normally $68 but on sale for $34. Everything at Abercrombie is 50% off with free shipping.

5. zesica sherpa fleece pullover

I ordered this a month ago and finally got it in this week. The good news is it looks like it’s currently shipping much faster than that. But here’s what I will tell you, it is so soft inside and out and unbelievably warm. It’s going to be my friend for a lot of soccer games this winter.

It’s $35.99 and comes in several colorway options.

6. dreamers cowlneck sweater

This is one of my favorite sweaters from last year. It’s a great length and weight. It’s warm without being bulky and is the perfect weight to wear under a jacket.

It’s 40% off and on sale for just $27. It comes in several color options.

7. feliz navidad graphic t-shirt

This is a great tee for the Christmas season and could even be paired with a sequin skirt or dressy pants. Or it would be cute worn under a tartan plaid flannel with jeans.

It’s 60% off and just $15.50 plus free shipping with code YAYDEALS at checkout.

8. old navy flannel tunic plaid shirt

Maybe you were wondering where to find a tartan plaid flannel. Well, wonder no more. Here’s a great one at Old Navy that’s normally $29.99 but everything at Old Navy is 50% off with no code needed at checkout.

9. loft velvet ruffle shell

This velvet shell is pretty enough to wear on its own, but would also look great under a jacket or sweater. It’s $54.50 but 50% off with code FRIYAY at checkout.

10. kendra scott hammered hoop earrings

These are such a great basic hoop earring and would make a great Christmas present. They are $40 plus 20% off everything at Kendra Scott right now. And they come in other metal color options.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.
