Weekend Sales and Favorites I’m Loving Right Now
Happy weekend, ladies. This week was a bit of a roller coaster here on the blog. I’m glad you’ve been wearing your seatbelts and stuck with me 😊. I had several posts almost ready to go out, and one that did go out, but I forgot to email it to you. This either falls into the category of trying to do too much at once or taking my foot off the gas and daydreaming, which is always a good thing for me.
Thursday was a very long travel day because our flight was delayed, then delayed some more until we flew in the dark…which is not my fav. The airport Wi-Fi was dismal, and there was none on the plane, so I knit and listened to a podcast I’d downloaded. Do you listen to any? Are there favorites you recommend?
Weekend Sales and Favorites I’m Loving Right Now
Question of the week
I know I have a lot of readers who are avid travelers! Someone recently asked me about anti-theft bags specifically, and I thought I would crowdsource for your favorites. Most of the time I wear a Lo and Sons waist bag, but it isn’t designed to be anti-theft.
Bestsellers of the week – what readers loved most:
- Ruggable is currently having an up to 25% off sale. It’s a great time to buy a new rug or even an outdoor mat, especially if you will be hosting this holiday season and want to freshen up your space. This one has been the most popular rug readers have bought so far!
- I’ve been really impressed by Frank & Eileen lately. The Jackie White sweatshirt cardigan was in many of your carts.
- If you love an animal print, be sure to look at this Cheetah Jacquard Sweater Blazer. It is definitely a statement piece!
- Many of you are updating your denim for fall with this easy pair of straight leg denim that will go with everything.
- This Talbots cotton twill trench coat was also a bestseller this week. The color is pretty amazing.
- This amazing Tommy Bahama cardigan was a huge bestseller again this week.
- My Rosamaria sneakers that I’m wearing above were also very popular. I’ve been wearing mine a lot because they’re so comfy.
On my radar:
- I got these Pretty Earrings from Electric Picks last week, and I love how lightweight they are. They’re a simple, modern look.
Nordstrom Rack currently has 125 deals in honor of Nordstrom’s 125th anniversary. I took a quick look through them and surprisingly found some wins:
- This classic Eileen Fisher shirt is a great piece you can wear year-round.
- Suede bags are really popular right now, and this wine colored one from Madewell is on sale.
- Black loafers are a great staple for fall, and these Sam Edelman Lucca loafers look Gucci-inspired but at a much better price.
Highlights from the weekend sales:
Nordstrom Fall Saving event is on with up to 25% off new fall fashion and 15% off beauty. Here’s what I own that’s now marked down:

I recently trad The Housewife. It was good. I enjoyed it.
I ran over to Talbots yesterday to check out a blouse to see if cut slim in XSP that might or might not be there. They had a misses so could feel the fabric and see the cut & they ordered for me in XSP . That is the way I have to shop sometimes and so glad Talbots still cut their petites in a petite way.
I have read about people getting hurt when their security purses are snatched. Instead I use a med. size crossbody (TJMaxx) w/ H2O bottle pocket, for inexpensive things I access all day. I can stuff hat, jacket… into it while out. In questionable areas it squishes under my jacket. I carry a small crossbody passport holder under my shirt for whatever valuables I need besides what I lock in hotel safe.
On air travel days I put whatever I’ll need on the plane into it, inside my underseat bag. Then pull it out once on board.
I used the Travelon anti-theft Classic travel bag for a recent trip to Italy and it was perfection! The zippers are small carabiners and are great in countries where pickpockets are a problem.
