I’m exhausted. We got back from a great Thanksgiving trip to Florida last night, this morning I picked up Ozzie from the hospital where he boarded last week, and I’m still busy chasing down cyber Monday sales & deals. I’ve been up before dawn every morning the last week – which was actually very nice because I could see the beautiful sky as the sun rose over the lake at my dad’s house – and asleep by 9:30 (mostly as a result of a food coma) every night. Actually, most every night I’m asleep by 9:30 anyway 😉 How was your Thanksgiving?
Everything I’m wearing is James Perse – as usual lately. I got the sweatshirt/hoodie/thingie a year or so ago during a private sale and I love it, although it’s tough to wear unless the weather is like it is today: cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon. I wanted to get the sweatshirt that’s sort of similar to it during the private sale, but my size sold out pretty fast…If you’ve shopped the private sale already what did you get? If you haven’t, today they’re offering free shipping on all orders with code JPVIP2013CM.
Also, if you haven’t already, check Grechen’s Codes for lots more sales & coupon codes that end today, including 30% off Splendid, 15% off at La Garconne, 30% off at Creatures of Comfort, Net-a-Porter’s sale, 20% off at Otte….
Oh, I almost forgot! I won something!!! The Rodin lip balm ring from Into The Gloss – it’s not even for sale, Linda Rodin made 10 of these for ITG to give away and I won one! I was ridiculously excited when I found out – I mean, who doesn’t want their lip gloss RIGHT THERE to dip into at a moment’s notice? Rodin, no less…
I didn’t buy anything at the JP private sale online, but I scored on two tops today at Marshalls.They’re the cozy cowl-neck, long-sleeved tees. JP deeply discounted! Hope that you have time to rest and relax, jet lag can be so tiring.
oh…must get to marshall’s!
we DROVE to florida!! took two days, i think that’s more tiring than jet lag 🙂
It only took two days?! I’m impressed. BTW: Did you buy anything amazing in Florida? C’mon, ‘fess up;).
i personally didn’t buy anything amazing…i didn’t do a lot of shopping. my dad bought me some gap jeans and a “shawl” from talbots (of all places!!) that i’ll show you later this week 🙂
I still like Gap clothes because they’re classics. I’d appreciate a post about the new jeans, maybe paired with JP and a cute cashmere sweater. The Rodin ring is very cool. I’ve never seen anything like it. Have you used any of her products before the balm? I tried the famous Olio Lusso, but I wasn’t impressed with the product. It worked well, but it was too highly scented for my sensitive nose.
i LOVE the ring, the lip balm is just meh…i like my caudalie lip conditioner better, honestly. my lips are very soft when i use the rodin, but it doesn’t feel super moisturizing or great going on. not sure i’ll buy the full-size balm, but the ring is super-cool 🙂
Lucky you! I’ve always wanted to try one of her products, but thanks to your knowledgeable readers (RJS, glad you’re a regular!), I probably won’t now that I know the Olio Lusso is high scented. (My FACE is sensitive!) I took a couple of pics for you today when my hubster and I were in East Hampton for a movie (“Nebraska”–SO good!). I’ll post them on Facebook for you! 😉
Your dog is so cute! What a sweet picture of him looking up at the camera!
MV, glad I could help, and I appreciate your comment. I was very disappointed, because I’d read the rave reviews. I can recommend a similar product, though, that’s lower-priced and less scented. Darphin makes lovely facial oils, and you can buy them on eBay for a fraction of the price! (Maybe eBay should hire me as an official fan.)
I worry a little bit about buying a skincare product from ebay, mostly because of the freshness issue. I’ve purchased makeup, tho, and never had a problem.
Grechen, I forgot to say that I love that JP sweatshirt! I bought one that is similar (Do you have another one that’s similar? Without the drawstring?) Cute!!
i don’t have a similar one actually – i really wanted the long sleeve sweatshirt with the drawstring at the waist that was in the private sale, but it sold out in my size pretty quickly…do you have the one with the kangaroo pocket on the front? i liked that one, but it fit strangely on me.
No, it’s basically a super soft sweatshirt type material, with short sleeves, and a semi-cowl neck, in heather charcoal. Great for layering!
MV, I’ve bought many skincare products on eBay, and never had any issues. I usually check the seller’s feedback first. It’s the old “buyer beware,” but you seem like a savvy shopper:).
