T&J Designs is closing… now what?

tiffany — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Last Friday my sister and I announced that we were closing T&J Designs, the clothing and jewelry line and ecommerce shop that we created over 7 years ago and put our heart and souls into. I had so many of you reach out through instagram DMs to share your stories of what you bought from us, your favorite items and so many kind notes of support. I appreciate them so much and we would never have gotten to where we are without all of our amazing customers and friends. I still remember the moment my family and I decided to start this business, and how exciting the day of our launch was. Why we closed T&J Designs A lot of you also wondered what had happened and why we decided to close the business. My sister wrote a really great post that summarized our journey from beginning to end. It truly has been an amazing ride, to starting our company with $5,000 to design our website and fly to China to start our jewelry collection. Getting on the Today show, that helped bring the company to the next level, to making over $1 million dollar in sales to creating our […]

December Shopping haul

tiffany — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:00:00 +0000

Before Christmas I took advantage of quite a few sales but have yet to wear any of my items for lookbooks so thought I’d share what I ended up keeping and love so if you guys are interested you can still find them online. Chicwish has the cutest things and they are now doing 20% off your order of regular price items, use code NY20 and 10% off sale items, code SALE10 Rose Sweater | Camo Sweater | Polka Dot Trench The sweaters only come in one size and run quite baggy but I like to wear them with my J Crew Pixie pants and booties for an oversized look. Plus, they are super warm and cozy so perfect for these freezing cold days we are having. The pink polka dot blouse is from Sheinside (take $20 off orders over $100 with merryxmas20) and the beige polka dot blouse is from Shop Sosie (it has a bow in the back, it’s so cute!). And just some cute printed items. I’m big on prints and have been getting more into printed pants and skirts. J Crew Bow Print Cords (get extra 30% off with code STYLE2013) | Madewell Bow Tee ShopSosie […]

Being an entrepreneur

tiffany — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 23:30:00 +0000

Life has been crazy lately and I’m so busy that my head is spinning constantly and I haven’t had a moment to rest. And that is quite literal as I’ve been back from China for a week and I’m still not on a consistent sleep schedule. It’s more like a “no sleep” schedule, I’m getting about 3 hours a night. I’m thinking it won’t be about January until I actually get some sleep! I absolutely love being a business owner and feel lucky and blessed to be living my dreams and doing what I love but what I learned from this year is that being a retailer this time of year means getting no rest or vacation starting from November and I suspect all the way through January. We started our business only about a year and a half ago so last year we were too new to feel the rush of the holiday shopping madness but this year, OH MY. What a difference a year makes. This is not me complaining at all, there is nothing more thrilling to be as busy as we are, it’s just that this busy-ness truly smacked me in the face as I didn’t […]

Lookbook: Neon and Fur

tiffany — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 23:00:00 +0000

What I’m Wearing J Crew Sweater – now on sale. I like these sweaters big so I got a size Small. I’m usually an XXS or XS in J Crew. Love the color! Madewell Jeans – my favorite ever jeans. They run true to size and in comparison to J Crew jeans, they run smaller/tighter. Roberto Del Carlo Boots – similar but knee high. These are old but very much favorites. So comfy and love how they keep my entire leg warm! These Rachel Zoe OTK boots are amazing. I’m a fan of flat OTK boots as well. I’m eyeing these Juicy Couture ones. These are a better price point and I’ve seen a lot of people with them and they’re really cute on. OASAP Coat (c/o) – I’m the queen of black coats. I have so many but I could not resist this one with the fun star buttons and a fur hood. This shawl collar coat is also really cute and looks really warm. Moni Moni Baby Monique bag (c/o) – thanks to Moni Moni for sending over this fab crossbody. I love the soft leather and the pretty gold. I’ve been changing up my cross body […]

B Brian Atwood on Sale

tiffany — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:04:00 +0000

I was browsing the Saks sale and came across all of these B Brian Atwood shoes on sale so wanted to share as after I got my pumps at the Nordstrom anniversary sale, I got lots of questions about fit and comfort of these pumps. I got mine in my regular size 5, however they run slightly big so I have to wear them with Foot Petals to make them fit a bit tighter. They also run narrow. Comfort wise, I’d give them about a 6 out of 10. They are a bit stiff and they aren’t the most comfortable but the platform in front does help. But if you are like me and are okay with a little discomfort, they are really pretty on and I absolutely love the height they give me! (Mine are also on sale at Nordstrom) They are a great price now so if you missed them on the anniversary sale, you can get them in these 3 colors. Snakeskin Colorblock | Metallic Snakeskin | Fontanne Metallic Snakeskin They also have quite a few pairs of boots on sale. I’m eyeing these two. I love the sparkles on the heel of the flat boot! The […]

LC Lauren Conrad Holiday Collection + more sales & discounts

tiffany — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:30:00 +0000

Did you see Lauren Conrad’s latest collection for Kohl’s? I LOVE it! Every piece is so cute and perfect for the holidays. I spotted these over on her website and fell in love. Kohl’s has a coupon for extra 15% off with code HARVEST (ends Sunday) so I picked up a few things. I have a few LC Lauren Conrad pieces that I got a while ago (you may also remember I did a video with Kohl’s which was when I was introduced to the line.) and I have to say the quality is fantastic for the price. Also, the LC line runs more true to size than some of their other lines which I like as I find that almost every thing else at Kohl’s runs a little larger. Love love these pieces… Sequin Sheath Dress Lurex Heart Sweater Skinny Velveteen Pants Floral Lace Blouse read more for a few more sales going on and my picks… If you are wanting some new jewelry, we’re having an additional 50% off sale for my jewelry line! Check it out here! One of my favorite necklaces (from this lookbook) is $5 after the discount! You may already know that Nordstrom’s […]

tiffany — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:00:00 +0000

I am on such a neon kick, I can’t help but want to pick up everything that is bright, bright, bright!

Rich & Skinny “Legacy” jeans 4. LNA Rio Crew Tee 5. F21 Neon Heart Top 6. Alloy Alexi Shirt Dress 7. Naven Ballerina Dress 8. J Crew Colorblock Stripe Top

Random Updates

tiffany — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 13:00:00 +0000

I was in China all last week so I’ve been a bit MIA since practically every website is blocked there (even Pinterest! my ultimate online addiction). Anyway, I’m so glad to be back in the cool Seattle weather as China was blazing hot and they aren’t ones for AC over there so even inside it was HOT HOT HOT. I got super lucky on the trip over as they bumped me up to business class and let me tell you, that 14 hour flight was awesome being able to lie down all the way! I had to send a photo to my husband of all the leg room that I had. And I love the fancy meal presentation too 🙂 If only I could fly business class all the time! Read more for more randomness 🙂 It was so awesome to come back to see our necklace featured on WhoWhatWear.com as that is one of my favorite websites! And thank you to the readers who emailed me to let me know about it, you guys are the best! The Highlighter Necklace is nearly sold out so get one now before they are completely gone! 🙂 The bracelet version and the […]
