Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays!  My sister and I are so grateful for the support that we’ve gotten for t+j Designs and we want to thank everyone for making 2012 such a fun, fabulous year for us.  Merry Christmas to those of you that are celebrating today! 

It’s a low key Christmas for us this year so I won’t be getting too dressed up but I still can have fun playing dress up on my blog right?

I’m actually contemplating that dress for my New Year’s Eve dress, it’s darling!  The model above is wearing tights with rhinestones all over and  I love them.  I couldn’t find those exact ones but I did find these ones that are similar.  I’m ordering them to try them out!

Red Resin & Crystal Necklace:

I’ve never owned a leather dress before (faux or not) and I’m loving the pleats on this one.  It actually seems very wearable.  Definitely easy enough to transition to other occasions by adding a blazer, tights and booties.

Styling Pants: Day & Night

I’ve been on a pants kick lately.  I used to prefer to be in jeans but I’ve found that I rarely reach for them these days and when I do, it’s usually colored denim.

J Crew makes my favorite pants, the Cafe Capri and it comes in a ton of colors.  I love that they work well for any occasion.  I can wear them to a business meeting…


Peplum Sweater
Cafe Capri – take 30% off all orders. use code WISHLIST
Gold Chain Link Necklace – take 25% off all orders. use code GIFT25

Or to dinner with friends…

I also just came across these tuxedo jeggings from American Eagle and I’m loving the casual but fancy twist with the tuxedo stripe.  Dress them down for a daytime casual but chic look.

Designer Shoe Sale

Thank you so so much for all the support from yesterday’s post.  It really means a lot to me.  Now back to the regular fashion fluff that usually goes on here 🙂

If you haven’t checked, there’s still a ton of designer shoes on sale.  My favorite places to buy are Nordstrom and Net-a-porter but Saks and Neiman Marcus also has great designer sales going on now as well.  And although I haven’t checked it out yet, Nordstrom has also marked
down Louboutin shoes in store!  I bought too much this year so am going
to avoid seeing what Loubies went on sale or else I’ll be in much bigger
trouble.

Prada Pump  | Sergio Rossi “Milady”
Miu Miu Glitter Mary Jane | Miu Miu Glitter
Miu Miu Gold Glitter (60% off!) | Manolo Blahnik ‘Campari’
Jimmy Choo Tippi Pumps | Carven Bow Pumps

During the fall sale I usually just stock up on pumps but I can’t resist these sandals on sale either.

YSL Tribute Sandals | Nicholas Kirkwood Glitter Sandals
I’m going to try to take pictures soon to show you guys what I bought from the sale.  I actually ended up buying a bag too so I have to return a pair or two.  I need your help in deciding which ones to keep!
Oh and I also got word from my Chanel SA that they are doing pre-sale right now.  She has a few bags but mostly accessories (pins, scarves) that are going on sale.  I’m going to try to go tonight to see what styles are going on sale.  They don’t allow pictures anymore but I’ll see what I can do to share if you guys want to know!

J Crew 25% off – shopping and my picks

J Crew is doing 25% off all orders today only! (use code MERRY)  I went shopping over the weekend when they were doing addt’l 30% off sale and I didn’t try on much but these caught my eye and wanted to share.

Sequin Stripe Tee (wearing XS)
on the left: Toothpick Cord – Neon Fuchsia ($59.99 in store)
on the right: Toothpick Jean – Vibrant Fuchsia

The jeans and cords were cute and love the color.  Both fit a bit baggy in the waist though in my regular size and they didn’t have a size down so I didn’t get either.

Here’s a better picture of the sequins.  It’s really pretty in person.  Wearing the Luxe Chain and Spike Necklace.

The sequin tee also comes in this pretty purple.

A few other things that I saw online…

Jules Dress as seen on me here
in retro jade.  I love this dress, definitely thinking about
getting it in black.  I got it in a 00 and it fits great, even in the
sleeves.  (I have short arms so rarely does anything fit in the sleeves)

I already have the Necklace Tee but it’s on sale now for $19.99 + the 25% off makes it a great price! 

The Tippi Sweater in polka dot is so cute. 

Also just a shot of what I wore shopping.  I just had a share a picture of the J Crew Sequin Bow Cardigan as it’s my favorite thing right now!  It’s sold out online but they do have this new bow sweater that’s really cute.

Designer bags and shoes on SALE!

I’m doing my crazy shopping this morning to make sure I don’t miss out on anything and I saw that SSENSE already has a ton of designer stuff on sale!  (I believe most retailers won’t be starting the sale until 11/23 or 11/28 depending on the brand.)  I have ordered from SSENSE before and they are a reputable retailer.  One thing to note, they are based in Canada and you’ll be charged a foreign transaction fee on your credit card, but hey no tax so you still save!

All these bags and more are on sale.  Looks like it’s ranging from 20% to 30% off regular prices.  You’ll also get free shipping with code FREESHIPWW.
