Happy 2016!

Happy 2016! I know it’s already the 4th, but I feel like today is the first real day of the year, you know? As much as I was ready to get back into my routine, I have a feeling that a whole lot of caffeine is going to be required today. More coffee, please!

Now that we’re back at our desks after almost two weeks, it’s totally understandable if you can’t concentrate and need to take a little shopping break. Your secret is safe with me! If Santa missed something on your list, or you’ve got some shopping to do for the months ahead, today’s the day to start browsing around.

Since it just got pretty chilly in Chicago over the last few weeks, I’m just now thinking about cold weather gear. I’m actually heading to Aspen in a few weeks (and hopefully Sundance, too!) so I’ve got to do a bit of shopping before I go! I posted this last winter as I was heading to ski at Big Sky and it’s still serving as my apres-ski inspiration. I need a cute coat that’s actually warm, stylish snow boots, and a few fun accessories. I’m also really in the mood for a new pair of sunglasses (these, specifically), but again, trying to be good.

If you’ve got a warm-weather escape coming up, it’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to pack! Such a lovely little distraction from the cold weather and snow showers in the forecast.

And don’t forget to scoop up some new workout wear to help stick to those resolutions!

I feel like *everything* is on sale right now. I’m trying to be good (shopping less and saving more are on my list of things to work on this year!), but I’ve rounded up a few sales that I have my eyes on this morning.

The Lilly Pulitzer sale happens only ~2 times per year! Beware, it’s kind of crazy and you have to hold your place in line to avoid any site crashes. But it’s a great time to scoop up vacation pieces, or pieces you’ll wear this coming summer!

J.Crew is offering an extra 40% off all of their sale items! You can get some serious steals right now. I’m loving all of their shoes on sale. Lots of great coats, too! Plus, PJs for $23, slippers for $24, a leather shoulder tote for $100, a plaid quilted vest for $70, a metallic skirt for $54, and more.

Shopbop has some great winter wardrobe staples on sale right now!

The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is technically over, but there’s still a ton of items to save on!

Tuckernuck also has a great selection of sale items, including Vineyard Vines sweaters and Barbour jackets!

Kate Spade is offering 25% off sale items! Use code THRILL // I love love LOVE this crossbody! And I REALLY want this dress. If you know of any ladies who got engaged over the holidays, this would make for the perfect dress rehearsal dinner dress. I’m also highly considering this bow tote! I’m lusing over this coat. And how cute is this little lady?

Ann Taylor is offering 70% off sale items, which means it’s a great time to update your work wardrobe.

LOFT is 60% off sale items!

Happy Shopping!

    This post couldn’t be more perfectly timed – I’m planning a ski trip out to Breckenridge soon and realized NONE of my old ski clothes/winter wardrobe essentials fit me anymore (if they even survived my move to Chicago). Thanks so much for sharing!

    These are great sales picks! My bank account is still recovering from the holiday shopping, but all these great sales are going on it’s making it hard! LOL I do need some good cold/wet weather gear now that the rain has started in Los Angeles, so I can justify that, right? 😉 I’m loving those Sperry boots….
