You know Cyber Monday has reached a new level when my husband asks, “how do I figure out this whole Cyber Monday thing??” He is NOT a shopper; this is serious. So, I’ve taken a break from designing our family Christmas card (doesn’t it seem like everything happens all at once this time of year?!), and I’m bringing you even more screamin’ steals. You should pay attention this time…because these deals are too good to last much longer!
For my sister: cozy jammies are our tradition. Right now, 20% off EVERYTHING at Anthropologie and free shipping when you spend at least $150. I’m also eying candles, holiday decor, and everything velvet!
For our teachers: they deserve a treat! I’m loving my Julep ‘Maven’ monthly subscription box. Today only, 50% off site-wide with code “CYBERWIN.” Their lovely polishes (which literally last forever) and beautiful makeup also make great stocking stuffers and hostess gifts…just sayin’.
For the hubs: this is a tough one every year…I’m not going to lie, he’s the most difficult on my list! He lives in James Perse tees, and several are on sale right now at Nordstrom, where you can take an additional 20% off sale merchandise (thru today only).
He’s likely dreaming of more gadgets. I’m not sure that I will relent, but an Xbox is on his wishlist (every year). Right now you can save BIG on Amazon for all of the gadget-lovers on your list, but you have to HURRY! These deals are only good for today.
For my kids: we are Lego obsessed in my house! The kids have built a Lego city (complete with a Moto Shed and bank – there is some kind of barter system). They have been begging for the volcano set, go figure. Save an extra 15% off at Target today. This is my stop for toys, toys, toys!

Hanna Andersson jammies are a must in our household. Every year the kids get a new pair of “hannas” and they last nearly the entire year. A slammin’ deal online today only, 20% off EVERYTHING. I also snag pairs for my nieces.
I’ve been good all year…mostly. Here’s a little something I’m eyeing for myself on Shopbop. Today is the last day to save as much as 25% off their entire site with code “GOBIG16”!
What’s on your shopping list? Please send any deals my direction (always leave a comment). Thanks for reading! Happy Monday. ~Jenn
“Small Business Saturday” has officially become a thing (I even recently saw a celebrity packed PSA). I love the creed of supporting small business owners and, even more, I enjoy participating by shopping local businesses that create my community. As such, I’m sharing my favorite Seattle shopping haunts, and many are found in my neighborhood! So if you find yourself with some free time this rainy Seattle afternoon, come up to Queen Anne. Enjoy a cup of coffee at 
One Seattle small business is particularly close to my heart. If you happen to be in need of motorcycle repair, come visit my family’s business 
Regardless of how you feel about the consumer culture that has seemingly consumed the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, shopping deals are plentiful this time of year. And I would be remiss if I didn’t remind you that the time is now to get a jump start on your holiday shopping plans.
It’s the time of year to start preparing for the online deals that have already started to crop up on the Internet. ‘Black Friday’ has seemed to have crept into Thanksgiving and even earlier this week! And, of course, there’s ‘Cyber Monday’ now too. Rather than get distracted by all of the chatter online, it’s important to prepare in advance…your wallet and shopping list will benefit! Below are some simple tips to keep your online shopping on track:
The occasion for me to really dress up is so rare that I honor the opportunity by putting forth my best effort at getting ready. Finding the right outfit is critical, of course. I wore this look last week for a ‘Black & White’ gala hosted by 
Just as important as the perfect dress, is getting dolled up for the special occasion. When wearing your finest, no ordinary hair style and makeup will do! Prepping for events (including vacations) takes thoughtful planning.
The final step, reserved for the day of the occasion, is hair and makeup. You’ve made the effort to find something special to wear for an event, don’t squander the opportunity to complete your look with polished hair and makeup. Getting a blow out or your hair styled for an event can take an ensemble from good to great. In addition, a makeup artist can skillfully apply makeup that you may not have available in your ‘everyday repertoire.’ An evening event is the perfect occasion to wear a more smokey eye and/or try a bold lip. If you’re dressing for a special night out, you want your makeup to compliment and complete your look.

If only you saw all of the shots I delete! The dress is so lovely in this shot, I had to share. Never mind my talking…with my eyes closed!
