don't you forget about me

Just a little reminder that my shop is a great place to find holiday gifts for your friends and family (or you know, treat yo' self!) You'll be supporting an independent artist, and getting a totally unique gift. Plus I promise my packaging is way more fun than Amazon's ;)

I'm offering 30% off all orders with code MISTLETOE. The sale ends tomorrow 11/26 at midnight, and you can shop right here.

modcloth sale alert!

Do you remember those Staples commercials that used to play in August/September with parents doing back to school shopping to the tune of "It's the most wonderful time of the year"? My mom always hated those because she said that she missed us too much when we had to go back to school (I have the best mom ever) and of course we hated the commercials too because, well, school!

Anyway, now that I no longer associate September with homework and bullies, it really is "the most wonderful time of the year." That's right, it's time for one of Modcloth's huge 70% off sales. Now that's something worth singing about, right?! :D

If I had the money I'd probably be adding one of each of these dresses to my closet but for now I'm sticking with this one. It reminds me of a vintage dress, with the bow and lace. I used to stock up on the really cheap dresses during these sales, the ones that were marked down to like $15, but now I tend to get one or two that were marked down from a much higher price point, something that I could NEVER afford to buy full price. I think I'm more likely to keep and wear them, rather than just buy them because they're cheap. And this dress was originally $147 so catching it for $43 is pretty exciting!

You can shop the sale here!

Postcards from the happiest place on earth

I'm in Disney World! yay! My shops are staying open while I'm away so I thought it would be fun to do a little Disney-themed promotion! If you use the coupon code "DISNEY15" you will receive 15% off* and a hand-written postcard from The Magic Kingdom! The orders have to be placed before August 8th at 12:01am est in order for me to mail the postcards before I come home.

This offer applies on all orders of $10 or more in all of my shops:

Flapper Doodle
Sweet and Lovely
Puns Intended
Your Fan Club

The 15% off applies to all orders worldwide, but unfortunately the postcard offer is only good for US orders. If you're out of the country I promise I'll throw in a little something extra into your package to make up for it though ;) Obviously all orders will be shipping when I get back, so please keep the delay in mind if you place an order.

Well, I'm off to enjoy the happiest place on earth! ttfn! :)

*Does not apply to bridesmaid card orders or clearance items.

modcloth sale alert! (it's a good one!)

I get really excited about modcloth sales since a lot of their items can be too pricey unless they're marked down -- but I'm really REALLY excited about this particular one because it's chock-full of super cute items. Sometimes the sale section is stocked with pieces I wouldn't want anyway, but this time it's literally almost 4,000 (!!!) ridiculously cute and pretty things marked down a whopping FIFTY percent. YESSS.

If you're itching to take a look, you can view the sale section here. Everything pictured in my image is on sale (including this dress I wore in my last outfit post!) yay!

modcloth sale alert!

Modcloth is having one of their huge massive sales right now! yay! It's perfect timing for me because (I am not even kidding) I was cleaning out my closet last week and found five $20 bills in a coat I haven't worn in a few years. A hundred dollars!!! I don't even usually use cash so I have no clue where it came from. It must have been a gift from the shopping gods, I suppose ;)

cyber monday wishlist

A few years ago my grandmom started giving me and my brother our Christmas money and letting us buy our own presents. I miss the surprise of not knowing what's under the tree, but I have to admit that days like today it's nice to have some money burning a hole in my pocket. No matter what, that money *has* to be spent on frivolous things. I can't use it to pay bills or groceries.. it's strictly for presents. These are some of the things I think my grandmom might get me for Christmas ;)

1. Junk food charm bracelet // Emerging Thoughts
Emerging Thoughts is offering 20% off with code GOBBLEGOBBLE, plus a 20% donation to the charity of your choice with any Cyber Monday purchase. Just let them know what charity you support at checkout. Isn't that awesome?!

2. Clear plastic satchel // Nasty Gal
Nasty Gal has everything marked down 30% off -- discount applied at checkout.

3. Purple and white sunglasses // Lulu's
Take an extra 40% off sale merchandise at Lulu's (like these sunglasses that come out to just over $5 with the discount. I'm dying over them!) with code CYBER40

4. Cat sweater // Dorothy Perkins
25% off everything at Dorothy Perkins with code HOLIDAY25

5. Ron Swanson bust // Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters is offering $15 off $75+, $25 off $100+ or $50 off $150+, discount applied in your cart. I've had my eye on a couple apartment items and held out until today to get them -- I'm so glad I did! I placed 2 separate orders for furniture and saved $100 :D

6. My Sweet Art dress // Modcloth
Modcloth is offering 20% off *everything* with code ROBOPUG. This one is really dangerous.

7. Melissa bow ankle boots // ASOS
ASOS is offering 30% off absolutely everything (ahh!) with code GIMMEMORE.

8. Scalloped edge playsuit // Dahlia
Dahlia is offering 20% off everything with code HOORAY20. I think I need to finally snatch up this playsuit.. the scallops are just too perfect to pass up!

ps. Don't forget about the holiday discounts in my gift guide! All of the coupon codes and sales are still active! .. pss. If you order something on Cyber Monday and are worried it won't arrive in time for Christmas, don't be! You can always use this free printable I posted yesterday :D

the last hurrah

The Last Hurrah is two things -- the name of one of my favorite movies (it's really good, you can check it out here!) and Modcloth's annual end-of-summer blow out sale. Obviously this post is about the latter.

I think I mentioned this the last time they had a sale (which I *thought* was their major sale for the summer and was happily mistaken) but I'm currently on a spending freeze with Nicole. I've been doing really good about it so far. I think in order to make a dent in my savings I probably need to limit the amount of take-out I order in addition to dresses (my god I buy a lot of pizza) but on the clothing front I've been doing very well. I am letting myself get one dress, though, since I have a really exciting etsy milestone coming up next week and I think a celebratory dress is in order! :)

If you buy anything let me know in the comments so I can live vicariously ;)

modcloth sale alert!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14

The IKEA catalog came in the mail yesterday and today Modcloth started one of their huge semi-annual sales. It's been a good week for shopping. I'm embarking on a one month spending freeze with Nicole in about 2 weeks so I think one last hurrah might be in order ;)

I already own a couple of these dresses.. the one in the bottom right corner is basically the prettiest thing ever. I have it hanging on a dress form in my closet (which you'll see in my closet tour in a couple days, yay!) just so I can look at it all the time even when I'm not wearing it. The one in the middle of the bottom row is my namesake dress from when I was blogger of the moment earlier this year. It was kind of pricey so if anyone liked it but couldn't afford it, now's the time to snatch it up :)

Even on sale it's still out of my price range, but my favorite of the bunch is the one in the middle of the top row. The left side has a photographic print of people at the beach, and the right side is water. It's like an overhead view of the seashore! I think it's just so clever!

modcloth sale alert!

Modcloth is having one of their giant semi-annual sales at the moment! These are just some of the pretty things I've got my eye on. That peach and cream dress in the bottom left corner reminds me of this one that Deborah Kerr wears in An Affair to Remember. I want it basically for that reason alone. You can check out the sale here.

If you get anything let me know so I can live vicariously ;)
