Happy Saturday! I’m sharing some fantastic finds today! You probably need to get yourself something for Valentine’s day, no? Or for your kids (see below Disney sale!), or just because the sales are that good! Enjoy some of my recommendations below.

1. Ted Baker‘s online sale is amazing! For those of you after a great leather skirt – check out this one (more than 1/2 off!)! And I love all the sale dresses like this one! Don’t miss out! Their sizing is very true to size in case you haven’t tried anything Ted Baker.

2. Next, thanks to Macy’s for providing me a special discount code for you all – get an additional 15% off Macy’s handbag sale! Use promo code BAGIT. Lot’s of handbags if you are in the mood for a new one!

3. Another big sale – get 40% off almost anything at Ann Taylor. Promo code SHOP40. Good time to pick up some basics like a perfect white button down! You can wear it with this bowtie ($11) (it’s smaller than the one I have in case you saw it on insta) Check out this cute trench cape! Will end up $136 with the SHOP40 promo code.

4. Finally, there’s a BIG Baby Sale at the Disney Store! Find cute steals like Minnie dresses, Tinkerbell dresses, tutus and Mickey PJs for around $10 each! Free ship over $75 with promo code: SHIPMAGIC. Such cute items just in time for Valentine’s day for your kids/nieces/nephews, etc.

Sunday Re-cap

Tags

Hello! And a special hello to all my new followers!! Today’s post is a quick Sunday re-cap. A quick trip to Nordstrom earlier today (to make some returns) turned into quite a funny afternoon with my 3 year old, who told me “You should buy that!” about pretty much anything he saw! We both loved this dress, by A.L.C. that we saw on a mannequin!  These tan boots, by free people, that I tried on were pretty awesome too!! I loved the leather overlay. At the end, we came home with this adorable bunny. It may be the softest and cutest bunny ever for $20. The brand JellyCat makes the best stuffed animals, and ever since we bought one for my friend’s baby 2 years ago, my boys won’t stop talking about it! Oh, and I forgot to pick up a new lip gloss – these are my favorites by Fresh! Check them out, I’ll need to order online. So moisturizing and last forever!

Anyways, while you watch the Golden Globes tonight, you might want to check out the 90% off GILT sale! So many great finds!

And in case, you need some new boots-My favorite pair (Belle by Sigerson Morrison) are on super sale (as seen here on my insta). Only 7.5 and 8.5 left- don’t miss out!

Have a great night and good week! xxx, Nikki

Really Chicago???

Alright, so it’s cold, I mean seriously cold. Like 3 degrees cold! Getting out of the house in the morning is not exactly fun. So, here are my favorite, functional & stay warm must haves!

1. Fleece lined Finger-less gloves………..I know- why fingerless? Well, it’s just easier to do things with the finger-less option. Like your make up……….in the car (while parked ofcourse!) Like clipping a child in a car seat….

2. A good scarf. How about a nice warm rabbit loop scarf – check out this one on sale! Love this chunky black knit one too….and this patterned one.

3. Coats……..I wear a Classic North Face. I have been wearing mine for 5 years! It’s so warm. I get it dry cleaned at the end of the season and it’s good to go every year. I have heard Canada Goose is even warmer!!!! so check that brand out too! I really like their big hoods with fur!

4. Now, for boots – many choices here. I still swear by UGGs and really like this new pair…..I know Sorels are popular too and although I don’t love the look of the classic pair (when I have tried them on in the past), how cute is this pair?

5. Finally, you will need an adorable hat. I like ones that aren’t too tight and don’t ruin your hair! Like this one! Complete with a pompom! And I love this one – only $25 and free shipping! many colors too.

Stay warm! xxx, Nikki
