Get a Move On!

Get a move on!

Are you tired of this yet? Tough noogies. I pinch my pennies and make an exception for on-blog sale madness but once a year, and this is the weekend. (Just in case you haven't heard, the Internet is now diamonds / all on sale.) And here's where I've shopped today:

J.Crew (duh) 30% off everything! (I stocked up on ballet flats. #issues)

Madewell 25% off (mamma's eyeing a new pair of boots...)

Gap and Old Navy 50% off everything (more of my favorite jeans!)

Anthropologie 20% off everything! (love their holiday décor options)

Bloomingdale's up to 50% designer names (I snagged a dress for our office Christmas party)

Serena & Lily 20% off the site (these would be a great gift)

Neiman Marcus' 40% off designer sale (these MK loafers have my name on them)

Net-A-Porter (eyeing a Chloé bag, but so far I've resisted the urge! Be proud.)

Loren Hope 20% off 100+ (need it all!)

Ralph Lauren ($25 off $100, etc.) (and they're having a killer Home sale right now)

Ann Taylor 40% off everything! (Oh the humanity!)

and finally, Terrain, which will be offering 10% off $150+ later tonight!

I also realize that it's prime shopping season, so the links and prices listed may or may not be accurate when the Earth turns off its axis and everything goes on sale. K, great! Happy Thanksgiving / Hanukkah, everyone!
