2. My bff and I fiiiiinally exchanged our Christmas gifts (I know) and look at the most perfect thing she found for me! A CAT WATCH. I about died when I opened it. Like, hi. Most perfect accessory ever? Um, yes.
3. I’ve seen a few tweets and blog posts about people being frustrated at always seeing fashion bloggers post outfits of unrealistically expensive clothing items. While there’s nothing wrong with indulging every now and then, I much prefer to buy a lot of things at low prices! Zack told me about this site that he was promoting on his deal blog called ThredUP so I checked it out and I have to say I’m pretty obsessed. You get high-end clothing for cheaper prices because most of the items are gently used. It’s like Crossroads or Plato’s Closet, if you’ve heard of those. Kind of a high-end consignment store. Anyway. I just made a purchase last night and I was so excited! I found J. Crew Pixie pants (regularly $89!) for $12! Say whattt?! I’ll share my whole order when I get it! They have J. Crew, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, and more! At first, I got kind of frustrated, because I mean, it is like a thrift store online (but nicer) and so you do have to dig to get to the good stuff (also reminiscent of Forever 21, am I right?!) But there are some real gems to be found! Go HERE to check it out and make an account and you get $15 off your first order with code LADY15 at checkout! The code expires tomorrow, so hurry! That seriously means you can get $15 worth of clothes for F-R-E-E! My favourite word. ;) What’s even better is that you get $10 of store credit for everyone who signs up with your link and makes a purchase! That could add up.
Would you consider yourself a bargain shopper?
What’s your favourite salad?
What’d you have for lunch today? I’m taking ideas ;)
I just ran across your blog yesterday and have been reading through archives…seriously. Can we be friends?? :)
I fell in love with salad all over again recently because of a dressing. Which I guess means I fell in love with the dressing. haha But it’s Trader Joe’s champagne vinaigrette…oh my gosh. AMAZING.
I’m also excited about looking into Tone It Up! I just started working out lately (it’s been longer than I care to mention) and that looks awesome! I’m excited to try it out! Thanks for sharing about it!
Oh and I love the kitty watch! So cute!! And that web site is cool! I am definitely a bargain shopper though I’m learning to be more okay with spending money on clothes. I have a problem. My husband has more clothes than me! This is not okay. It’s pretty bad when your husband is encouraging you to buy clothes, right? Your blog is inspiring me because you dress just how I want to dress!
Okay…longest comment ever, but it’s my first. ;)

PS I was excited also to find out we are sisters in Christ! ♥♥ And I think we got married in the same year…2011?
ANNA, yes, of course we can be friends!! :) Your comment was so sweet! Thanks for cheering up my morning. I’m glad you’re going to start tone it up! I’m pretty much obsessed. And I love that your husband encourages you to buy clothes. That’s pretty great, if you ask me. My husband would never do that haha ;) (I don’t blame him) And yes, we got married in 2011 too! Aw yay sisters!! <3

I am a thrifty shopper myself! and that salad looks so delicious. avocado…mmm!!
I am so obsessed with avocados. If I could put them in everything, I totally would.
xo
I probably should not have read this post considering that I will now want to go spend all kinds of money on that site that I don’t have, haha!
Haha well if you sign up through the link, you get $15 FREE dollars, hollerrrr! And then if you get others to sign up, you get $10! So that’s a lot of free money right there. Which is why it was my duty to pass it along to my friends :)

I am totes a bargain shopper! I love Forever 21 and now I have spent half my morning on ThredUp! Thanks for introducing us. :) My favorite salad is well almost any salad cause I just really love them. Lately though I have done smoked salmon on romaine with Feta cheese and balsamic. Delish! Lunch today is going to be shrimp sun dried tomato Alfredo, leftover from dinner last night.
Aww yay glad you like the site! :) I love salads, too!! That smoked salmon one sounds AMAZING!!
xo
I’m such a thrifty shopper, I refuse to pay full price for anything.
My dad has always said, “Everything goes on sale!” And it’s (for the most part) SO true! :)
xo
I wish I could consider myself a bargain shopper but the only bargain I get when I use my employee discount
haha hey, that works too! :) I wish I had an employee discount somewhere!!
xo
Love Thredup! I haven’t checked out their women’s things yet but have ordered a few times for The Love Nugget. Such great deals! Love any salad with avocado! yum!
Yeah, the women’s section is a recent thing! It’s pretty great! :)

I’m not a cat person, but that cat watch is the freaking cutest!!
Haha isn’t it?! I never was a cat person before, but then I met my hubs and his cats, and they changed my mind completely ;)

That salad looks delish!! I’m going to have to check out that site , I like going to places like that so a online version would be awesome!!
It really was fun! As long as you have patience to go through all the clothes lol just like in real life! ;)

I’ve been chowing down on salads all week too. They are such easy meals to make & not to mention delicious. I love your cat watch. Is there a dog version? Just visited ThredUp & I’m already hooked. The other night my hubby told me I needed to stop reading blogs because they make me spend too much money lol. He’s sort of right — I just bought those cute sandals from Target & I know I’m going to buy something off ThredUp. I blame you ;)
-L
Salads are my go-to meal, definitely. Especially when the weather warms up! Haha I don’t know if there’s a dog version of the watch. I’m assuming there probably is a dog watch out there? Glad you like ThredUp, too!! And tell your husband I’m sorry ;) hehe
xo
That salad looks AMAZING!! I think I need it right now! :)
xo
Make oneeee! Super easy and delicious!
xo
oh my gosh that watch would be perfect for one of my friends!! would you mind telling me who makes it??
Isn’t it the cutest?! It’s by Mundell- that’s all I know! My friend got it for me, so I have no idea where it’s from! Hope that helps :)

Me and my sister would totally pose with bear statues too. Family is so great. I mean, not going to lie, sometimes they get on my nerves, but there is this certain bond especially with siblings and I love it. I’ve been missing my sister lately. I see her every week but it feels like it has been a long time since I have gotten to just sit down with her and talk and hang out and relax. I miss the days before she was married and we would have sleepovers in the living room and make 6 servings of instant mashed potatoes for a snack and just share them out of the big bowl and have gilmore girls marathons til we fall asleep. I really miss those days. I didn’t embrace them or enjoy them as much when they were possible. Sad. ANYWAY. Sorry I got all storyteller on you!
That salad looks really yummy. I need to eat more veggies. I actually enjoy salad but I never think to make one. Mental note: eat more salad.
No need to say thank you. You deserved everything I said. You are the sweetest person and make my day all the time. I just wanted to share some of the love :)
GILMORE GIRLS MARATHONS! Yesssss. My mom and I would have those all the time! We watched the entire series together each week, and then re-watched them once she bought them on DVD :) That show. I don’t know when I’ll be able to watch it again, but I love it so much.
