Lately

All clean after his bath! 

A little pumpkin spice at my hair appointment!

Love this skirt (on sale)!
Shoes (under $150)



Cute frame ornament. My code SYDNEY25 works! 

It has been a WEEK, and it's not even over yet. I have been working so hard behind the scenes and am severely lacking sleep at this point—my eye bags... send help! I started to feel a little tickle in my throat at the beginning of this week and went into full panic mode. I have been drinking Emergen-C and taking vitamins ever since because I cannot get sick until after Thanksgiving, ha!!! But feeling fine so far. Phew. 

I'm so glad it will slow down a bit beginning today. I had a lot of deadlines to meet, and quite a few of those have passed! Yay! 

Henry got a bath this week, which seems very dull and not notable to share with you all. However, he did not get a bath in October. He usually gets bathed monthly. So he *needed* a bath. He was starting to smell like... a dog! He smells so much better and is nice and fluffy in time for Thanksgiving, and I could not be happier about that. 

This past weekend I went to the Dave Matthews concert at PPG Paints, our local hockey arena. I was so excited about the concert; it was fun, and Dave sounded like he always had. I hadn't seen him in about 10 years. I used to be a huge DMB fan in high school and college. I attended many of his concerts and even traveled with friends to see him play with Tim Reynolds at Radio City Music Hall. That was an epic show. I'm still a fan, but I'm more out of touch with it all. DMB has soooo many songs, so you never know what kind of setlist you will end up with. Well, to me, the setlist was a little lackluster. Still a great time, but I wish he would have played more of his 'popular' stuff... that's coming from someone who knows most of his more obscure songs and albums, too. 


Wearing: I wore this outfit to a baby shower on Sunday and it was the perfect autumnal dress outfit! For the skirt, size down, it runs a bit big! It also comes in black but I thought the chartreuse was a fun departure from that!

Are you following me on the LikeToKnowIt app?! You can shop all of my outfits, favorite finds, and more in the app. I am constantly updating it with the latest! You can also access all of my posts, here, if you don't use LTK! You can also find me on ShopMy, another shopping platform! 

Eating: I made my creamy chicken taco chili recipe last week and it is SO good. 

My martini that did *not* cost $28. 

Drinking: I shared this on Instagram and many of you were incredulous along with me... I got one high noon at the DMB concert. The can was large, so it was like 2 regular-sized high noons in one can. There was no option to get a smaller can; they only had one flavor: peach. Anyway, I went to pay, and it was $28, and that's not including tip! I wasn't born yesterday. I know prices are inflated, especially at sporting events and concerts, but $28 for a High Noon is wild. I still can't get over it. Never again! We had dinner at The Capital Grille beforehand, and my dirty martini was far less costly! 

Sale: One of the questions I get asked the most and have been asked since I started this blog is where I got this little bezel set necklace. It was custom-made, but this is one of the best options to get the same look, and it's 30% off right now. Today is the early access day, and the sale officially begins tomorrow. I also have an emerald cut bezel set necklace, which is also available. If I had to choose, though, I'd choose round! They also have so many other pieces 30% off that look so similar to what I wear, like a signet ring, diamond bangle, and diamond huggie earrings. At 30% off, the prices are excellent. 

There are so many sales going on right now and so many more coming up. I've been getting blasted with emails from brands sharing their sale details, so basically, you shouldn't buy anything at full price. Hold off if it's not on sale because there will likely be a sale in the next 10ish days. I'm noticing many will start their sales today and then another big batch on Monday. 

Another sale worth noting is on this face cream that I love. I'm an Augustinus Bader rich cream fan, but it's pricey. This is often compared to AB cream; the textures are similar, but I wouldn't compare them. Instead, I think they can both stand on their own. I love this cream enough to stop ordering the pricey AB cream as often, which makes me a happy camper! The sale is a full-size and travel-sized bottle in a cute little pouch under $60! 

Watching: These jeans are a favorite of mine, and right now, they are on major sale for under $100! Size up because they don't have any stretch!

Loving: This is a good look-for-less situation. I have long admired this DY box chain bracelet. It's not only pricey, but it is truly so overpriced that I likely would never purchase it. However, I found an even better version for almost half price. I ordered it, and I will report back! The necklace version is incredible but more than I want to spend! 

Loving II: This is a new jewelry brand to me, and I love the pieces. They are having a sale! The quality is great—much nicer than Amazon jewelry! 

Wanting: The most perfect pink skirt
there ever was! 30% off this gorgeous and classic cardigan- I love the color dark carob! Another gorgeous cardigan in the prettiest fair isle knit under $100! This tweed jacket is spendy, but holy WOW! Such a gorgeous floral pajama set. This is a gorgeous wedding guest dress! I just got these sequin pants, and they are the most fun party pants, but I feel like wearing yoga pants! This faux fur coat is FABULOUS! This jacket is so classic and 40% off! This gold chunky necklace is fun!
Amazon Rec: I've purchased so many bottles of this zit spot treatment in my life. It is inexpensive and works. It lessens if not makes a zit disappear over night! 

You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!

Traveling: My husband and I are going on a little getaway this weekend, which I am looking forward to! I just want to relax! I have a few really cute outfits for the occasion, and I'm excited to wear them. Where we are going should be decked out for Christmas, so I am excited to get in the holiday spirit!
