Nordstrom Rack holiday sale event

I spent all of last night praying that the snowstorm that hit this afternoon would hold off for the morning hours. My efforts payed off; we woke to an apparent winter wonderland, but it turned out to be lots of slush and no ice. We reached the Rack by about 9:30 and found it pleasantly uncrowded. Guess the visage of icy roads was a blessing in disguise. 


I managed to find another pair of Minnetonka slippers, Stem leggings for $7 (!!!) and...

flounce t.b.d. velvet tunic... perfect for the holiday season

these cropped Citizens... whoever said that seasonably correct shopping was in!?

 Joe's cigarette jeans

 

and this Original Penguin t-shirt for my amazing boyfriend.

(I may or may not have tried it on myself to determine whether it was borrow-worthy before purchasing it... I can't resist guys clothing sometimes, it's just so comfy!)

definitely a successful day of deal hunting

 borrowed fur hat from Alaska, Elizabeth & James t-shirt, Splendid fleece cardigan, BLACK by moussy scarf, Free People feather necklace, Zara shorts, Trouve leggings, Hunter Original Tall High Gloss boots in Graphite Grey

I can't seem to get over how amazing this hat is, and can't resist borrowing it whenever I get a chance. It's so unbelievably warm & soft... someday I will own one.

Honestly the most comfortable flats I've EVER worn... I feel so lucky to have found these for about half their original price at Nordstrom Rack.

And tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll be looking for some great deals at their holiday party. PLEASE, God, let this blizzard hold off for a few hours.

... with classes. finals are another story.

So this is my consolation prize to myself for managing 3 presentations, 2 club events, 1 exam and 1 paper within 2 weeks.

Free People Great Expedition Hat. I can't get over how furry it is... I need it to combat single-digit weather

winter inspiration

 monochromatic navy blue.. I'm still addicted.

perfection in translating summer to winter

 this isn't something i would be caught dead in right now (it's 12 degrees in Ohio right now) but is perfect for the weather at home in LA. I love the flowy-ness & realistic looking floral print. So summery, but it's length and color adapt well to colder weather.

Nordstrom Holiday Party

It's been almost a month since I've updated.. the combination of Thanksgiving break and the semester coming to a close has kept me overly occupied. But with the snow falling softly but fast, I figured today was an ideal day to hibernate in comfy sweaters, with tea and Trader Joe's chewy eggnog cookies. yum. 

this past Thursday was the Kenwood Nordstrom's holiday shopping party. Needless to say, I couldn't resist the 9 extra rewards points per dollar, and ended up buying almost everything I had on my wish list. 

Minnetonka slippers... soo cozy!

 

this Miss Sixty peacoat in a gorgeous dark grey 

 

Free People velvet top... perfect for casual holiday parties

 and this Free People Navajo sweater that I've been lusting over since it came out in September

these and a few other things I purchased that night have set me up well for winter... just in time too!
