Old Navy Outerwear {on sale}


Old Navy has their outerwear on sale and this great plaid jacket is now 50% off. I wore it this past week on a very windy, low 50's day and it kept me nice and warm. The fabric is densely woven and really kept the chill away. This soft gray/cream is my favorite but they have a couple other great plaids and some solids online right now too. Promo'd at just $29.00 it is an amazing deal! If you shop online, don't forget to go through ebates - ON has 8% cash back right now.

I also bought this jacket in this happy yellow. The feel of the fabric is very similar and I love the stand-up, slightly ruffled collar.

Spaghetti with Shrimp, Feta and Dill


This isn't the most Fall-ish supper, but I took a little break from soups and cold weather comfort foods last night and made the spaghetti with shrimp, Feta and dill from Real Simple's April 2010 issue.

You need:

spaghetti (cooked to package directions)
shrimp
olive oil
a lemon
a small bunch of fresh dill
3/4 c crumbled Feta

Saute the shrimp in olive oil and add about 1 tsp of grated lemon zest and 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. My shrimp was already cooked so I was just heating it up... but if it is uncooked give it about 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat or until opaque before you add in the lemon zest/juice.


When the pasta is cooked and drained, toss it with the shrimp, a little more olive oil, the Feta, and dill. I'll confess I added just a smidge of butter. This would be really good with a very buttery lemon sauce but definitely not as healthy.

All done - super easy!

Banana Republic Reade Motorcycle Boot {+ a Lilly Sale!}


During a recent 30% off sale (it seems there are a lot of those lately, doesn't it?) I ordered the black Reade moto boot from BR. It is a pretty basic, just-above-ankle boot, with a gunmetal buckle at the side. The leather strap is stitched down - the buckle is not adjustable. There is memory foam padding, but still on my first wearing the ball of my left foot hurt... I think the boot was still a little tight. Second wearing last night, they felt fine. I'm really just so used to flats that a 3 1/4" heel height is an adjustment... but these will be getting lots of wear this Fall and Winter - they are so versatile. I found them TTS; wearing my usual 8 1/2.

How I wore them first:

Anthropologie Plaza Cardigan, ON tank in white, Mossimo ponte leggings, BR Reade boot

This is one of my favorite Anthro cardis. I've put it through the washing machine a couple of times (flat to dry) and the ruffles are still looking good!

And... Splash of Pink (I've ordered lots of my Lilly from them) is currently offering 30% off Fall Lilly Pulitzer items with the code NOTRICK. The promotion ends tomorrow, October 24th.

Happy Saturday!

Sweet Pea Ruffle Cardigan {+ Daily Deals at Kendra Scott}


Well... I waited so long to post about this Nordstrom Anniversary Sale cardigan that it is already on sale again. I don't see the charcoal gray that I own online but they do have it in Chianti and Thyme. This is such an easy, versatile piece to throw on over lots of different tops and tees.... I've worn it quite a bit and always feel very comfortable in it. The ruffle edges are unfinished and the knit is thin and stretchy. No closures.

Last week I wore it very simply, with jeans and a white tank:

Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati Ruffle Cardigan - regularly $68, now $39.90 (40% off) at Nordstrom, Joe's Jeans, Old Navy tank, Cole Haan booties in Ironstone Suede


Also, I got an email today about some daily deals at Kendra Scott. The Danielle earrings (which I have in the turquoise) are on sale for $48 in the Hot Pink Jade and Pink Rose Quartz. $5 from the sale of each of those will be donated to breast cancer awareness. The Tavi Stud Earrings are also on sale for $40 (from $50) in eight colors. I like the Sky Blue and Smoky Gray but it's hard to choose!

Hope everyone's having a great week!

Mossimo Waterfall Cardigan


Here's another great Target find: the Mossimo Waterfall Cardigan. I saw these in-store but didn't really give them a second thought. But then I saw this post by Megan over at PIPM and I took another look. When I tried them on, I instantly knew this cardi would be a great addition to my wardrobe. I purchased the black/grey and wore it yesterday -- and it just has that feel of something I've owned for years and am completely comfortable in. I may just have to go back for the other color combo...

Here's yesterday:

the stripes look off here but they do line up (see very last pic)... I just have it on a little crooked

And here is the shape of the cardi flat... cool, huh?!



Happy Wednesday!
