Did anyone catch the J.Crew sale?
30% off full-price items, 40% off final sales + free shipping.
Factory offered 50% off Men + Women, 30% off Boy & Girl + free shipping.
Nothing better than a sale to snag some wish-list items out of your shopping cart, right?
I have dedicated my Wednesday Wish List to J.Crew today 🙂

I apologize for prematurely posting this yesterday – I’m still trying to get the hang of Polyvore. I hit share and it posted every damn place…Pinterest, facebook and xoxostacyb.  I had a mini heart-attack.
Here’s a little run down of each beauty in the collage above and why you “need” it:
STRIPED SUEDE-SHOULDER T-SHIRT – classic top that goes with everything.  Navy + white + caramel is my current jam.
TWO-TONE PLEATED COMBO DRESS – drapey sleeveless blouse attached to a pleated faux-leather skirt.  It looks just as beautiful as it does on-line.  Just the right amount of edge.  Now I need to find a place to wear this bad boy.
DOWNING BUCKET BAG – bucket cross-body bags are everywhere.  This one comes in deep garnet, english saddle & black….all the colors of fall/winter.  How do you pick which one?
FACTORY GIRLS’ SATIN BALLET FLATS WITH BOWS – omg, I want to re-think Bailey’s whole Christmas outfit for these factory bow flats.  J.Crew also has a pair too, but they are a little more pricey Here.  They look almost identical.
GIRLS’ SWEATSHIRT TULLE DRESS IN STRIPE – I keep showing Bailey this dress and she says “No, I don’t like it” whaaattt?  She’s growing up and it’s so depressing!  I might need to have another child so I can purchase all the cutesy stuff again?  Just kidding 🙂
FACTORY HEATHERED TUNNELNECK PULLOVER SWEATSHIRT – has anyone tried J.Crew’s new activewear line?  This pullover looks perfect for winter time, that is – if we ever get a winter.  It’s 96 degrees today, it’s killing me.
FACTORY FLANNEL PAJAMA SET – I lived in this set last winter, so I’d say I’m due for a new pair of pj’s this year.  These are everything.  They wash well and feel like a million bucks when you slip them on.  This is a MUST for your Christmas wish-list.
FACTORY LACE-TRIM TEE – at $14.99 you really can’t go wrong with a grey cotton t-shit with just the right amount of lace trim.  Casual + cute.
EMBROIDERED SUNBURST SCARF – I had my eye on this sunburst pattern all summer and never hit “place order” I can’t let this one get away, especially while on-sale.
FACTORY ANYA SUEDE BALLET FLATS – wine flats…it’s the perfect shade of wine.  I purchased a pair of anya suede ballet flats in cobalt blue and they are beyond comfy.  I need these in my life.
Here is my Tuesday #ootd (outfit of the day).  Seriously obsessed with navy + white (even after labor day) + caramel.  Such a classic combo that never goes out of style.
Bailey picked out her favorite #ootd for the blog today too. Like mother, like daughter 🙂
Bloggers + Instagramers have been posting/pinning these socks like crazy.  They are super cute paired with Bay’s Hunter boots and flats too.  You can find these adorable fox socks at Brickyard Buffalo.  Brickyard Buffalo is an online pop-up shop that showcases individual companies and their newest items.  You can subscribe here for daily emails.
If this photo below doesn’t make your ovaries cry, I don’t know what will

Brickyard Buffalo Fox Socks

I could talk, I mean type about clothes all day.  I have a couple girlfriends, Alex + Robin, and we literally send daily emails that are clothes related. What we ordered, what we want and look what I found.  They are my “Style Squad.”
If this isn’t your thing – no worries, I plan to blog about all things I love and this just happens to be one of the many.  I love a good sale, so I just had to give J.Crew a little shout-out for their bad ass sale going on!!
Until tomorrow
