Jeans Day

Today is the last Friday of the month which means jeans day! My pair of school jeans (my only pair not too tight in the bum) are looking faded. It looks like I'll have to make a trip to Reitman's soon to find another. Reitman's is the only store I have found that has jeans that fit a girl with thighs and a booty.

Cardigan: Martin and Osa
Blouse: Old Navy - I bought this last weekend on super clearance. It had an elastic around the bottom that I ripped out. I like it much better like this.
Belt: Gap
Jeans: Reitman's
Shoes: The Bay

Outfit of the day - with a friend

Sweater: Martin and Osa adorned with a black flower whose origin I have forgotten.
Blouse: J Crew - I've had this blouse for months but have never worn it. It is sheer and I could never figure out a way to make it school appropriate. Layering it over a tank never felt right. Finally, I had the idea of layering it under a sweater and letting the best part, the frilly collar, pop out. Success!
Pants: Gap
Boots: Naturalizer
Bracelet: Ricki's
Cat: Ruby - She has been fascinated with light lately. When she hears my camera flash, she comes running for a look.

Great Deals at Martin and Osa

My favorite shopping site, Martin and Osa, has some great deals today. There is free shipping and it doesn't look like there is a minimum. There is also 30% off with the code 996297782. "Big deal," you may think. Martin and Osa regularly has 20, 25, or 30% off. But today, the 30 % can be applied to something that has never been discounted on it's site before: Raybans.


I've been aching for a pair for months but have yet to see them go on sale. Tonight, I snagged these in black for $77! They have since disappeared from the site but there are many other available styles.

I also found great deals in Martin and Osa's accessories section on some fairly recent arrivals.


This bracelet looks so pretty. I think it will be great for festive dressing up. It's only $20.


I'm not sure if this necklace will fit in with my style but I thought I'd give it a try.


This chain looks like a great basic and it's only $10.


And finally, the Gunmetals Bubbles Necklace. It didn't come up with an extra $30 off but already was discounted by 50%. In this case, I think that's good enough for me. I love me some bubbles.

In the sale section, the Cashmere and Silk V-Neck Cardigan has been restocked.


I have this cardi in black and purple and wear them a lot. They are warm and cozy. I ordered another in map green for $27.

Weeee. . . I can't wait for my loot to arrive. Merry Christmas to me!

Not cool!

Skirt: Cassis
Tank: J Crew (it's the one with the three rosettes that went on super sale last spring)
Cardigan: J Crew
Necklace: Lia Sophia found on EBay. It's probably a fake as I bought it from the same seller who sold me the fake J Crew bubble necklace. But it's a nice fake and I like it.
Boots: Naturalizer. I was super bummed today when the bottom of one of the heels fell off never to be seen again. I think I have only worn these boots four times. Not cool!

Blingy bling

Today's outfit is all about the necklace.

Sweater: Sears
Pants: The Bay
Belt: Joe Fresh
Shoes: Sears
Necklace: Forever 21 This is the necklace I wanted to wear yesterday but thought it was too much combined with my bight red skirt. So today I kept it simple and let my necklace sparkle. But being from Forever 21, I lost of few parts of the necklace an hour into my day. Beads were falling off and landing in my lap. :-(

Cozy, blingy, and so soft.

Cardigan: J Crew
Cami: J Crew
Skirt: No tag (thrifted)
Tights: Wonderbra - These are super cozy and warm. Why haven't I discovered sweater tights before?
Shoes: The Bay
Bracelet: J Crew

I had a blingy necklace from Forever 21 that I originally planned on wearing but pulled it off before leaviung this morning. I'm overdressed compared to my co-workers as it is so I wimped out on widening that divide. I wish peoplr would dress up more then I wouldn't feel so odd!

I really love the cami (courtesy of J Crew's Facebook free shipping code), Finally, a J Crew cami that doesn't fit me like a tent. It's the Silk crescent-collar cami and currently sold out but it will probably popback. It's really wrinkly but oh so soft. Me likey.

Weekend wear

Shirt: Forever 21
Cardigan: Victoria's Secret
Belt: H&M
Jeans: Reitman's
Shoes: Clark's

I took the day off work yesterday and am feeling much better. I spent the day in bed reading and it was divine! The Brightest Star in the Sky by Marian Keys is a great book. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the chick lit.

Today we're putting up out outdoor Christmas lights. With the addition of a piano to our cramped house this year, there is no room for an indoor Christmas tree. I plan on going nutso with the outdoor Christmas lights to compensate.

Have a great weekend!
