It is that time of year again, where the mega sales start rolling through and you feel pressured to buy all the things!! Wait, do you not get that like? If you don’t I envy you, if you just ignore the sales, more power to you! I personally get overwhelmed, buy nothing and then mentally kick myself a few weeks later when I am bored of my closet. So this year I am making a plan, well really a list of the things I feel my closet is lacking. From there I will only look at those items while browsing the sales this week/weekend.
Shoes, black booties with a mid block heel, a day to night black heel/pump situation, tan flats.
Blouses, don’t know what kind, in the cooler months I tend to only wear sweaters and want options
Bottoms that are not jeans oh but also a pair of black non-skinny jeans!
In lieu of a “Black Friday” post, I am going to round up some things I am obsessed with now that are either already on sale or have a 99% of being on sale this weekend. Speaking of sales that are already happening, Shopbop launched their sale today that is buy more save more 11/20-11/25! Aka get your entire list with one checkout! Sidenote: Texas/kitty loving ladies, you need this shirt!
Will be back throughout the week to update with more sales but for now its Shopbop or bust!
Favorite Vintage Shops, Etsy and Beyond
Sometimes I am surprised there has not been a site or platform that has taken over Etsy, it has been around forever! In the past year, it has become my go-to for all things home decor in the antique/vintage realm. My Hmong pillowcases on my couch, glasses, and accessories for my bar cart, dishes for both side tables, ring glass and more!
In the past year I have a list of a few shops that I check in with every few weeks to see what they have or what I missed in the past. Have learned that when vintage shopping if you are looking for something specific you tend to overlook gems that aren’t on your radar at that exact moment.
Do you know about Everything But The House? It is an estate sale website that has everything from jewelry to cars. I got the snake chain shown above that I have been wearing multiple times a week from EBTH and she came in perfect condition. You bid on items similarly to eBay but on a chic-er website!

Shopbop Fall Mega Sale!
The annual shopbop sale that makes you spend all your money and not regret it for one second is here! With 20% orders of $500 and under and 25% on $500 and over it is the perfect time to either stock up on fall essentials or get a few new bold pieces for the season. Rounded up a few of my brand highlights and products below for your enjoyment and my personal reminder of what I want!
AGOLDE Denim, have you worn them? I am so into the Jamie Highrise and cannot wait to try them out.
My love for all things Ganni is very real, the one dress I have is just so incredibly flattering and I always get compliments from men and women 😉
If your go-to brand is Madewell don’t forget that they have a ton of things on Shopbop!
J.O.A is always on trend and on budget with great quality pieces and this season is no different!
Of course all the Lele all the time, summer fall winter spring!
Big Bold Earrings
To me big earrings are soo Texas, I wore them all through high school, brought them with me to college but then kinda fell off the big earring train. In Nashville, I had one pair (the beaded ones from J.Crew) that I rarely wore. Since being back in Houston for a little over a year now (crap time flies) I am fully back on the big earring bandwagon!
Right now I am all about resin – honestly, I have always loved resin jewelry and just super happy it’s back in style! Also aware that the earrings I have been wearing and now posting about are a higher price point but they don’t bother my ears, look good and not cheap and trendy and have a low cost per wear!
Let’s start with Lele Sadoughi, my friend Cat got me into her and now I’m wanting a pearl headband haha! Her jewelry is sold at Shopbop, Nordstrom, Neimans, and Saks so pick your preferred poison. As you can see I have the tortoise shell pair which I love because they are such a bold shape in a versatile color!
Moving to a, not as versatile color {which I am trying to make versatile} the blue Cult Gaia hoops! I have never been more successful with a random ‘let’s just give it a shot’ purchase in my life! The pink version arrived today and flip-flopped on them all day and decided to keep them! Thinking is ill just keeping buying earrings and fewer clothes haha.
J.Crew whos jewelry is kinda a hit or miss is currently killing it with resin playful jewelry! They have a similar in nature hoop that are under $50!
Last Minute Sale Shopping
I can’t decide if I ‘dropped the ball’ on posting about the sale on sale at Shopbop or just am coming in last minute when you buy it all? Whichever it is there are some damn good things in the sale section.
So much Loeffler Randall and Vince! Y’all always love my Citizen of Humanity jeans a ton of their styles are on sale!
Rails shirts are soooo soft like sleep in them soft – I need to wear my more!
I have the weirdest relationship with dresses, I love them, I want to wear more of them but never do! This summer I am making a real effort to find more dresses I like on my body instead of jeans and a blouse every day! There are a bunch of easy casual ones on sale right now!
p.s fully aware this photo has nothing to do with a sale but who doesn’t love peonies?!
Favorite Vince Espadrilles
When it comes to shoes I always support splurging and always support the purchase of Vince shoes. They are great quality, comfortable, usually seasonless and on top of that not overly trendy so you can wear year after year. I saw these espadrilles in late spring in the white leather and thought to myself damn I wish these came in a tan/brown because I need a summer flat in that color. Bam a month-ish later they were out!
Oh and now they are on SALE!! In all 4 colors! I wear them probably 3 times a week and so happy I bought them.
