Act Fast! Flash Sale Alert!

One of my favorite spots to hit when I'm in NYC is C. Wonder. Bright colors, preppy styles and monograms... what more could you ask for? You could ask for a sale! And ask you and shall receive!

C. Wonder is having a flash sale that ends TODAY... so get a move on and hop on over to their site. Great clothes, accessories and home decor. I've loved everything I've purchased from them and believe their quality is very nice.

Here are a few things I wouldn't mind adding to my shopping cart:



belt / earrings / foo dogs / pillow

Back to My Love

Happy Friday, all! 

This week kicked off yet another crazy travel "season" for my job, but lucky for me, I ended up in the city that I love and was able to extend my weekend!

The weekend will be filled with lots of shopping, walking and exploring! Oh! And of course a Broadway show... {Any suggestions? I've been very fortunate to cross quite a few off my list in the past couple of years including Lion King, Wicked, Mama Mia, Chicago and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and I'm looking for a new favorite!}

I'll be back next week to share my favorite finds and shopping scores. Have a great weekend!

P.S. How great is that NY skyline art above? And very reasonable - you can get an 8x10 for only 20 bucks! Or go to a gallery print for only $50. I might need to treat myself to one!

TGIF

Thank goodness it's FRIDAY! Hope you all have a great weekend!

What's everyone up to this weekend? I think I'll get to work on my personal pumpkin patch, do some shopping and hit the refresh button.

We're All Friends and Family Here!

Guess what, guys! Saks is having their Friends and Family SALE now through October 21st! Check out their website and stock up on necessities for fall like Tory Burch flats and cozy scarves all for 20% off using the code "FRNFAM2".

As for me, I'm leaning toward this cute Rebecca Minkoff crossbody I've had on my shopping list for a while!

So if any of you are looking for what to buy me for Christmas, here's your cheat sheet :)

Happy Shopping!

Happy Birthday Mama!

Today is a very special day! It's my wonderful Mom's birthday!!!

I don't even know where I'd begin to list all of the amazing things about her... she's a great Mom, awesome Mimi {her version of Grandma}, ultimate cheerleader, with my Dad an inspiring example of love and one heck-of-a shopping partner! She is the reason why I love fashion and why I write this blog. She always made sure my sister and I were dressed in the best of the best {I mean just check out the matching peter pan collars in the pic above, along with the white hair bows... a signature Mary move!}, even if that meant sneaking our mall finds in past our Dad. In fact, still to this day I feel guilty when my Dad catches me with a shopping bag, even if it's something I bought. Hello Catholic guilt! 

Thanks Mom for always being my biggest supporter and such a loving friend. You are truly the heart of our family... oh and the pups love you, too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I love you!

{P.S. Does anyone else ever go through old pictures and realize how few your Mom or Dad are actually in?!? Always behind that camera! Good think I found that gem above.}

My Newest Obsession

Joe Fresh. If you haven't heard of it yet, you will! It is definitely my newest favorite store. While in NYC this past weekend for the Make It A Woman's Day event my colleagues and I had dinner with some of our friends from Women's Day Magazine and they recommended we make a stop at Joe Fresh on our weekend shopping extravaganza... {ok, so maybe "extravaganza" is a bit of an exaggeration.}  

Not only was the selection, store and staff awesome, the prices were even better! Don't get me wrong, I love designer labels, but due to the fact I'm a shopoholic, I need to get my fashion fix at a reasonable price. We loved it so much we made a second trip back before we left town. Think H&M/Forever21 prices, but even better quality. It is currently only in NY and NJ, but I'm hoping it makes it was to the midwest soon. 

Shop Til You Drop

I'm heading to NYC later this week for a work trip, and of course I had to add a day or two on to shop! NYC to me is like Disney World to a kid... my favorite place on earth!

The key to making the most out of a shopping day is a comfy outfit. Here's what I'm thinking:

Top: Airy blouse. Easy on and off for quick dressing room sessions.

Bottom: Colored denim. Gotta have 'em in every color for an instantly chic outfit! 

Scarf: Cashmere tissue weight. Not too hot, but keeps you warm when needed. I don't know how it does it, but it's a must!

Belt: Add a POP of color and a bit of texture with this cute suede belt.

Shoes: NYC = tons of walking! Make sure you have comfy shoes. I stick to flats and this neutral pair adds a bit of spunk with the studs.

Bag: Classic shape and color. Shoulder strap and cross-body {not pictured}... what more could you ask for?

Happy Shopping!
