The holiday season is nearly over, but the sales are just getting started. Nordstrom kicked off their amazing Half-Yearly sale this week and the discounts are deep. You can get up to 50% off a selection of over 2000 items. It’s a bit overwhelming, really. Rather than diving in head-first, why don’t you sit back […]

It’s nearly Christmas Eve. Inevitably some friend or relations will show up at your door, gift in hand, and you’ll have nothing to gift back. What’s a girl to do? Have your computer at the ready in the other room and pick one of these super quick, buy-and-print gifts for immediate gifting. Perfect for men […]

Check out a few of my favorite online shopping finds for the week… 1. Topshop Camille Hooded Faux Fur Coat, $150.00 A perennial favorite.

I’m so glad fall is finally here. I deeply love all of the cold-weather items you can’t get away with wearing in the summer, even here in the perpetually chilly Bay Area.
