to shop / {sale alert} karen walker sunglasses

Karen Walker sunglasses have been around for ages (I blogged about them almost 10 years ago!), but I still like them, particularly the tortoise ones. I’ve been wearing the Alternative Fit Super Duper Strength Sunglasses in tortoise the most lately.

shopbop has had the older styles/colors on sale for months but has slashed the prices again. Enough for me to consider a backup pair. I like that shopbop carries alternative fit which is great for the low bridge crowd. But, shopbop has the items on final sale, which I’m not a fan of. However, shopbop is owned by Amazon and Amazon carries the same items/price without the final sale…

One day, I noticed a round cereal bowl puzzle. When it went on sale, I bought it. We had so much fun that I went back and bought more. There are multiple series and my favorite is Series 5: Van Leeuwen Ice Cream! A few from this collection are on super sale.

I rounded out my collection with the ramen, affogato, and honeycomb cone at a small business: Little Obsessed.

Let me know if you get any or if you have other puzzle recommendations!

to shop / 2020 cyber week deals

Have you been shopping? I have shopped way less than prior years because:

• I’m tired and didn’t plan, which is a good thing.
• Certain items/purchases are not needed because I’m not leaving home often… or it doesn’t show on Zoom.
• There were good sales during the year and I’m well-stocked.
• I’m less brand loyal and exploring other brands.

What I am checking out

1 / Baggu

25% off the entire site. I had just placed an order in early November… They have so many new designs and that’s what keeps me coming back. There is a The Simpsons collection (I like the donut), one bag left from the collab w/ the Met Museum (dragons), a new mini size, and wine size!

2 / Boka Toothpaste

I have sensitive teeth and typically use Pronamel. I started using Boka, which has n-Ha instead of fluoride. It also ‘tastes’ better than Pronamel. Boka didn’t have a sale on toothpaste this weekend, but Urban Outfitters did (and has a lower price on it in general with a sitewide discount). Sometimes Bloomingdales has it on sale. Amazon also carries it. 

to shop / {sale alert} 50% off s’well and henné organics lip products

Birchbox has 30-50% off many products. Their site is somewhat infuriating to navigate. To figure out what’s on sale, you have to start in the respective sale section. Once you add it to the cart, the discount will show up in the cart.

The most exciting? 50% off most of S’well. I like the 9 oz because it is so small and easily fits in a crossbody purse, coat pocket. The 17 oz comes in many Liberty of London prints. The sports cap and swing cap sold out since I placed my order, and I consider the sports cap a gamechanger. They also have 50% off Baggu, but it’s mostly wiped out.

to shop / {sale alert} peach and lily collection

Ulta’s Love Your Skin event has kicked off and day 3 has select items from Peach and Lily’s collection (which is always excluded from their own site’s sale). Their line is formulated well and most importantly, very well priced during sales. The first item is 50% off and the rest are 30% off (EDIT: while the Matcha Pudding is a one day promotion, the rest should be available through January 25, while supplies last). I’ve tried all but the toner and oil.
