IT'S 5 O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE

|  Line & Dot Disco Flutter Top  |  vintage Levi's cut offs  |  Joie San Remo Sandals (similar and cheaper here)  |  Free People Bleeker Bucket Bag  |  House of Harlow 1960 Sound Waves Cuff  |  Kate Spade New York Somewhere Watch  (other color here)  |  Ray Ban Original Aviator 58mm Sunglasses  |

Along with the new changes to TTL's look come new accessory pieces. These include the Ray Ban sunglasses, Kate Spade watch, and House of Harlow 1960 bracelet, all which I got great deals on. I was lucky enough to get the Kate Spade watch and House of Harlow 1960 bracelet 25% off a few weeks ago at Bloomingdale's and the Ray Ban sunglasses 15% off from Nordstrom. How do you become a bargain hunter as well, you ask?

THE BALANCE BEAM

Well, hello there! It's been TOO long, don't ya think?? A lot has changed since the last time I was on here. I'm now a first grade teacher and after months of trying to balance everything I've realized that blogging and fashion is the perfect buffer between the daily craziness that comes with being a teacher and that which is reality. I've been so MIA these past few months because the balance beam always seemed to tip to one side, the side where I wore sensible shoes and had frizzy hair. Now I am trying to balance out my life more. My fellow teachers know how hard it is to leave work  at work, but at the end of the day I could not be any prouder to be an educator. Now that I've quickly updated you all, let's get down to the post that brought this blog back to life: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

- CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC: FOREVER 21 -

 I keep telling myself as I get older that I need to stop shopping at Forever 21, but it's a lot easier said than done. Their affordable prices are unbeatable and so inviting. Today, they are offering 20% off all dresses and skirts both in store and online. They are also offering $20 off $100+ if you sign up, plus free shipping on orders $30+. As if their original prices weren't great enough already. Above are a few holiday dresses that caught my eye. I already purchased the Floral Embroidered Tulle Dress and the Plaid Chiffon Babydoll Dress earlier this morning. I can't wait to wear them to holiday events! Hopefully I have some time to get together a Black Friday post, but if not I'll be posting some holiday gift giving guides. Happy holidays! 

Love,

Jessie

Since Black Friday and all the holiday shopping is coming up, I've decided to start Confessions of a Shopaholic to share current and upcoming promotions and sales. I'm starting it off with a classy brand for the every woman, Kate Spade. Not only does Kate Spade offer free shipping and returns, they are giving everyone 25% off your entire purchase! This pre-holiday offer is available both online and in stores, but will only last until at 11:59 PM on November 16. Above are a few choices from the holiday collection that I fell head over heels for. I definitely tend to go for sparkly anything, from shoes to skirts, during this time of year since it matches the cheerfulness and joy of the season. Here is a link to their 2014 gift guide, which conveniently categorizes gifts into price and type for you. This sale is perfect for those of you who like to get a head start on all the gift giving, so take advantage of it for the next three days! Below are some great gift options, all under $100!

       

        

Happy shopping!
