BEST OF: CYBER MONDAY SALES

Black Friday deals were pretty good this year – but Cyber Monday? It can’t really be beat. I’m on the lookout for a new winter coat for myself (and maybe a cute new pair of pajamas), electronics for the men on my list, handbags for the ladies and stocking stuffers/small gifts for everyone in between. Below – a round-up of the very best across the internet. Also – be sure to follow me on Instagram where I’ll be sharing some holiday ready style throughout the day that’s all on sale too!

HOLIDAY HOSTESS GIFTS UNDER $50

Yesterday Adam told me there was only 6 Mondays left until Christmas and I had a mild panic attack. I actually am not even sure if it’s accurate, but I’m too afraid to check. Partially because I love the holidays and want them to slow down so I can really enjoy them to the fullest and partially because I haven’t really thought about gifts yet. While I can’t stop time, I like to think I can pick out a good gift – so I’m officially kicking off the holidays with my first gift guide here on the blog featuring ideas for the happy hostess, all under $50. Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away (that I know for sure..) and while a bottle of wine is nice, these are wayyy more fun. I love the idea of cute stationery and a pack of shiny gold pens or a cocktail recipe book and pair of tumblers. And you can’t go wrong with a pretty apron or personalized serving tray (even better if it arrives with homemade cookies). Happy gifting!

FALL COLORS AND PRINTS

Colorful Fall layers in Anthropologie turtleneck and dotted dress

If this little Mod dotted dress doesn’t say Fall I don’t know what does. The Seventies are huge this season, but I can never resist a bit of a Sixties reference (RIP Mad Men…). I wore this look to the office earlier this week but it would work just as well for a cocktail with the girls or a lunch date.

BEST OF: FALL SALES

Fall Sale Instagram Round Up

As I’m writing this I’m curled up by the fire at my parent’s house in PA. Which basically is the very coziest way to spend a Sunday. Another good way to spend the afternoon? Online shopping. There are some killer sales happening right now which is perfectly timed since the weather looks like we’ll be saying goodbye to bare legs and light jackets very soon. Below a few of my favorites..

(Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6)

Anthropologie – Sales are few and far between here, but this weekend they’re offering 20% off all full-priced apparel w/ code FALLFUN. I’m wearing this dark orange turtleneck in photo 4 above and am obsessing over this vest.

French Connection – Save 30% off all coats and jackets with code FC30CJ – I wear this denim jacket (in photos 3 and 5) constantly and swear I’m going to finally pull the trigger on this leather moto jacket today.

LOFT – 40% off sweaters and tops – this slouchy sweater would get a ton of wear and I love the mixed print on this top.

J.Crew – 30% off outerwear, sweaters, shirts and t-shirts w/ code LAYERUP – now would be a great time to purchase a winter coat like this one or this one.

Ruche –  Extra 40% off sale items with code EXTRA40 – I’m loving this marigold color for Fall and this floral dress would be so pretty paired with tights and a berry lipstick.

Nine West – 40% off select fall styles – these black pointy toe boots add instant chic (shown in photo 6) and these Chelsea boots are a total wardrobe classic.

Madewell – Extra 40% off sale items with code EXTRA40 – this cardigan (shown in photo 1) is a total steal and I’ve worn it at least once a week since picking it up and this plaid scarf would add a cozy touch to any outfit.

Talbots – 30-40% off select fall styles – I’ve been loving this teal slouchy sweater paired with this paisley scarf and this quilted cross-body bag (shown in photo 2) has been a favorite of mine so far this Fall.

INSPIRATION: BEDROOM MAKEOVER

Pinterest Inspiration: Bedroom Decor Makeover

One of the things that I’ve been meaning to get around to this year is re-decorating our bedroom. With the lease signed for another year, the space has been begging for a bit of a fresh update. If you follow me on snapchat (thesteelemaiden) than you already know I picked up a light sage-y green paint for a statement wall, but for the rest I’ve been pulling from my Pinterest to get an idea of what I’d like to keep and what I’d like to update. Below, my current plans, and stay tuned as I share the results!
