My new favorite nail polish

I got a very last minute manicure for my high school reunion this past weekend, and I am totally in love with the color. I think it might be my new favorite.

I googled the color and a blog called Nikki's Nails has some great pics of it so check it out if you're interested.

It's a totally perfect color for the holidays.

Giving B.E.

As someone who's been using the stuff for more than 5 years now, I can highly recommend gifting Bare Escentuals for the holidays ... in fact, they have a whole section of gifts priced at $25 and under that are perfect for just that.

Their new eyeshadows are totes amazing by the way.

By the way . . .

... I finally figured out what to wear to my 10-year high school reunion this weekend ... this cowl neck sweater dress from LOFT.


It kind of seems a tad anticlimactic after all the thought I put into it over the last month, I know ... but I really considered the dress code and realized that the last thing I wanted to be was overdressed.

I even got this belt to pair with it --

And I know my J. Crew knee high leather boots will match perfectly.


I'm actually looking forward to it! Now all I have to do is get my hair colored ...

Cozy coats

You can finally feel the air getting colder here in New York, almost like it's going to stay cold.

So, I thought I'd share this roundup of cozy winter coats from Real Simple -- it definitely comes in handy if you're thinking about getting a new coat this winter.

LOFT Love List

Have you checked out the LOFT Love List yet? They have a bunch of cute items, many of which are perfect for gifting, and they start at $25.

My personal favorite would have to be this belt.

Multi-chain

I really do love the pale aqua shade of this multi-chain layered necklace from F21 ... and it's under $7.

Let them eat cake

I know I usually blog about bargain shopping, but let's take a minute to talk about cake.

Cheesecake.

If you're lucky enough to live in New York, and you don't live under a rock, then you've probably had Junior's Cheesecake before. I can't even tell you how many times I have had it. It's just one of those things that's so quintessentially New York that I can't imagine life without it.

I know there are probably some cheesecake purists out there who would only ever have it plain, or those who have to have cherry, or strawberry. But for me, it's something a little bit different.

The chocolate mousse cheesecake on the other hand? It'll change your life.

(Image courtesy of Junior's)

Now, if you don't live in New York, and you can't just go grab a slice whenever you want, then might I suggest ordering one from their web site and having it shipped right to your door. I actually like sending them as gifts.

And PS - if you sign up for their emails, sometimes they email you coupons :)

Cardigans at UO

Right now, select cardigans are 25% off at Urban Outfitters. No code necessary, prices as marked.

Holiday at Payless

If you haven't seen them already, the Holiday Designer Collections are out at Payless --

Naturally fresh

I think I might have to have this new solid perfume from Burt's Bees--- its notes are lemon, grapefruit, and cedarwood, which is right up my alley.

I already swear by their beeswax lip balm.

Ugh.

... today will be my first day back into the swing of things after a wretched sinus infection. You know it's bad when you're too wiped out to think about bargains or shop.

When I'm sick, all I want to do is put sweats on, crawl under the covers, and watch this.


Sigh.

Over the knee

I am honestly not sure how I feel about over-the-knee boots yet. I feel like, depending on how you execute, they could end up looking really great or really tacky.


This pair on the other hand is pretty darn cute.
