And I soooo agreed with you ladies about your #1 Favorite post (it was one of
my favorites too for sure)!

But do you know what the best part of last Wednesday’s post was?
So, after reviewing the Top 5 posts, I realized we also needed to review the 2013 MUST HAVES!
Naming MUST HAVES is definitely one of my favorite things to do on the blog,
and putting this post together today just confirmed my feelings about all of the
previous MUST HAVES.
And get ready…because I’m going to be naming a new one soon. VERY soon!
(Click HERE for the newest MUST HAVE!.)
For those of you that are relatively new to the blog, this review will give you a chance to see all of the things that the
rest of us bought and loved in 2013!
Basically, I feel it’s my civic duty to make sure all of you new readers are fully informed. 🙂
Here’s a collage of all of the 6 MUST HAVES from 2013!
I’m still in love with every single one of these items and they are
DEFINITELY STILL MUST HAVES in my closet and in my life.
Just look at all of the MUST HAVE goodness!
Now I’m going to review each item in the order they were named.
If you’re new here, pay special attention to #1 because you might not have ever heard of them!
And I PROMISE. You need them.
*
1st MUST HAVE
These wedges will always have a special place in my heart.
It sounds totally corny, but it’s true.
These were the first item that we all went CRAZY over.
When I named these MUST HAVES the response was so incredible that I new we were on to something. All of the blog comments, facebook messages, and e-mails about these wedges showed me that we were creating this little online community and I LOVED it!
I highly recommend the putty color because it goes with everything.
EH-VUH-REE-THING.
THESE ARE THE BEST WEDGES YOU HAVE EVER OR WILL EVER PUT ON YOUR FEET.
I promise you, when I first saw them online I thought they looked like old lady shoes, but they don’t in real life AT ALL.
They are actually quite SASSY!
They lengthen your leg (awesome!) and look great with shorts, dresses, skirts, and pants.
And they also have a great ability to be paired with casual outfits as well as dressier outfits.
I could truly go ON AND ON about these wedges.
And I forget the best part: they are STUPID comfortable.
STUPID. COMFORTABLE.
Just ask anybody that has them. They are more comfortable than any flat you’ve ever had.
IN FACT, IF YOU HAVE THESE WEDGES, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT about them and what you think about them!
Seriously. You don’t understand the awesomeness of these wedges unless you own these wedges.
AND I COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED THAT THEY HAVE THEM AGAIN THIS YEAR.(
(Actually, now that I’ve said that, I’m unsure if they are back this year…
or if they are just left over from last year.
So, just in case…GET THEM BEFORE THEY’RE GONE!!!!)
Click HERE for the best wedges you have ever
or will ever own.
Pinky Swear.
Here’s a little collage of just a handful of times that I have worn them.
And here are some of you ladies in your wedges from the MUST HAVE contest last year!
Yep…you girls were just as obsessed as I was.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times.
You are my people. 🙂
They even made it to my friend Erika’s family pictures! 🙂
I know it’s hard to see the shoes when you are staring at the cute as
can be parents and the DARLING kids….but seriously, take a look at the
shoes.
(You can keep up with Erika’s sweet family on her blog “A Little Bit of Everything“.

I could talk for another 30 minutes about these wedges, but I’ll spare you.
You see?
That’s what you call restraint.

2nd MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE denim jacket.
This exact color is sold out (I keep hoping they will bring it back in this color this spring! fingers crossed!), but there are 2 darker colors to choose from (by the same maker) at Nordstrom HERE.
So, if you’re dying for a jacket, maybe you get one of the darker colors?
Or….if you are wearing your first one so much
you would like to add a 2nd one to your closet (welcome to the club),
check out the other 2 colors available at Nordstrom.
I really like the dark denim a lot.
regular blue denim jacket HERE, dark denim jacket HERE
Yeah, we should totally hope this baby returns!
—————————————————————————-

3rd MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE jeans
It saddens me greatly to say that the Vigoss jeans that I own are almost all sold out online.
I have 4 of them myself now, and I love every pair.
I’m hoping they restock soon, because I know many of you are ready to
order your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pairs too!
NORDSTROM! LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE! RESTOCK THE VIGOSS JEANS!
THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEM!
Click HERE for all of the Vigoss choices that are still available at Nordstrom.
Every single pair of the Vigoss jeans that I have put on my body I have loved.
So, maybe you should try a pair.
They are super affordable and awesome quality!
Below are 4 different styles. Love ’em all.
*
4th MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE shirt HERE.
This shirt is probably the most worn item in my closet.
I have the burgundy color and the black.
But although I love both of them, I’ve found that the burgundy shows too many wrinkles (as I guess most of the lighter colors do).
I recommend the black because it shows less wrinkles.
I have probably worn it once a week for the last 6 months. No lie. And sometimes I might have worn it twice a week.
It is such a great closet basic.
I dry clean this shirt, but I have lots of readers who say they wash it on the gentle cycle and then line dry it. I just prefer to dry clean a lot of my clothes. They look brand new for so long!
Here are just a handful of you ladies in the shirt:
*
5th MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE leggings HERE.
I have the black and grey and seriously don’t know how I lived the last 28 years of my life (ahem) without them. Because I’m 29 (ahem).
They aren’t see thru at all.
The hold their shape.
And even though I’ve already watched each pair lots and lots, they still look brand spankin’ new.
Click HERE for the MUST HAVE leggings.
All of you that own the leggings are JUST AS CRAZY about them as I am.
They really are a GAME CHANGER in the leggings world aren’t they?!?
The ultra wide waistband just throws them into a legging category all of their own!
—————————————————————————————————————————-
*
6th MUST HAVE
(They have added new colors at Nordstrom!)
Listen,
To own the blardigan is to love the blardigan.
And for those of you that are super new to the blog and have no idea what a blardigan is….
it’s simple.
A blardigan is part blanket and part cardigan.
And it’s a little piece of heaven right here on earth.
Do you want something that you can wear at home for an entire weekend at home in your pajamas, with a sick kid, and then throw it on and wear it to work?
Not that I’ve ever done that.
Well, if that is something you’re looking for, the blardigan is for you.
I probably have over 100 e-mails about this MUST HAVE.
My favorite is from the reader who said she wants to try to figure out how to shower in it.
Here are some pics of you ladies in the boots!
Click HERE to see the necklace April!
It looks great with my black shirt and jeans.
It would look great with a little black dress.
But I also think it would look AWESOME with some frayed jean shorts and a white v-neck.
Or a denim shirt with white jeans.
Or colored shorts with a striped shirt.
So what I guess I’m saying is that it will pretty much look fantastic
with anything and everything in your closet. And what a great thing to
kick off your spring wardrobe!
And April, just in case you think you need to recreate the above look :), the sources follow:
MUST HAVE Shirt HERE
Remember to buy 1 size down. For reference, mine is a small.
(If you are a petite, there are 2 colors of the MUST HAVE Shirt 40% off HERE.)
MUST HAVE Jeans sold out (sorry!)

Mix and Match Mama says
January 21, 2014 at 11:13 amI pride myself on owning one of each "must have". You have NEVER lead me astray. Ever. Not once. I love all of it. Every single item was indeed a must have!
Alaleh says
January 21, 2014 at 11:26 amProud owner of every.single.must.have! (Some in multiple colors) Even made an appearance in my shirt on here today! 🙂 thank goodness I own them all or I would be kicking myself now! At first I would take a few days and think about ordering…now it's a given Dont even question you..click link and it's a done deal 😉 can't wait for the next one!
Meagan @ The Clanahan Fam says
January 21, 2014 at 12:07 pmOk, I have 3 out of 6 – honestly I thought I had more but I think that's because I've taken your advice on some other items like cardigans, another featured pair of dark denim jeans, scarves, etc. Shout out for the wedges in black, denim jacket, and leggings in grey. And really, I consider the cognac wedge boots a must have – so much so that I bought them in black. Nordstroms should thank you. Big time. My husband may not have the same sentiment but darn it, it feels good to finally get out of the yoga pant rut! You.are.awesome. And now I really think I need the dark denim jacket. Darn it!
Laura says
January 21, 2014 at 12:20 pmSo far I have bought the wedges, two pairs of the jeans, the leggings, the blardigan (life changing!!) and the wedge boots. The denim jacket is adorable but I already own one that's super similar. I'm sure I will purchase a must have shirt or two at some point 🙂
Anonymous says
January 21, 2014 at 12:30 pmI have everything but the jeans, and that's just because I waited around too long and then the 2 pairs that I wanted had sold out. My favorite are the wedges. I get compliments on them every single time I wear them and I really cannot believe how comfortable they are. You are so right when you said "stupid comfortable". I have the MUST HAVE shirt in 3 colors, and while I agree with you that the black is my favorite, I also like my purple and my olive green. And the blardigan might just be my most prized possession in my closet. It was a splurge for this one income family, but I'm so happy I got it. I think I've worn it every day since Christmas day. And you know what the best part is? My husband doesn't even mind because he thinks I look so great! This blog has been a definite confidence boost for this stay at home mom of 3 boys (all under 7). Excited to see this next new must have!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
January 21, 2014 at 12:36 pmI saw a woman in the must-have wedges at the mall the other day. I *almost* walked up and asked if Sheaffer told her to. I think we both know the answer. 🙂
Tab & Erika says
January 21, 2014 at 12:38 pmI have 3/5 of the must haves and I must say that I should start acting faster!! These might be some wise words…."I've never regretted buying a must-have. My only regrets have been letting them pass me by." Doesn't that sound a little…you-might-need-to-put-that-in-a-history-book??? Love you and your must haves!!
Christie says
January 21, 2014 at 12:59 pmMy list and it includes some of your other favorites, as well. The jeans, leggings, Blardigan, Toms Desert Boots, Hunter boots, fuzzy stripe infinity scarf, Sanibel necklace, and the MK watch. I had a couple of these items before your mentions, so I feel pretty good!
This Gingers Journey says
January 21, 2014 at 1:28 pmI am three for six which isn't too shabby! Plus I have countless other items you have suggested. Wedges, jean jacket, and leggings. (Love) Hunters, fringe scarf, Kut from the kloth jeans, the list goes on and on. Sheaffer = Best personal shopper EVA! Can't wait to see what 2014 has us purchasing 🙂
SarahN says
January 21, 2014 at 1:38 pmI'm happy and proud to announce that I own every must have! To include the boots! I love each piece and wear them all too often!
Nadine Skinner says
January 21, 2014 at 1:48 pmI have the wedges in putty, two pairs of the Vigoss jeans, the shirt in black, and the leggings in black and gray. I love them all! You can't go wrong with the must haves!!
AbbyNez15 says
January 21, 2014 at 1:52 pmFirst time to comment! I have been following since the Spring and own the wedges, the jeans, the jean jacket, the Miz Mooz wedge boots, the leggings, and the Blardigan! Love them all! Thanks for all of your hard work! I wore the jean jacket and wedges on the beach for my engagement photoshoot and they looked great!
Shawnee says
January 21, 2014 at 2:02 pmI also have every must have item….including 2 pair of the jeans!! I haven't actually worn the shirt but I plan to soon….I know I will love it. I actually bought it in the melon color (can't remember exact name) and I plan to wear it with my camo pants. Not only do I own every single must have item, I own SEVERAL other items you have featured on the blog as well and I truly love them all!!! I even went and bought a new pair of white Converse this past weekend and dug out my pink and red ones that have been shoved in the back of my closet for over a year!! 🙂
Jill Gruber says
January 21, 2014 at 2:02 pmI have the boots, the must have shirt in a light blue and the leggings in black. I love your blog! You are like my own personal shopper!
Christina Mendoza says
January 21, 2014 at 2:06 pmHappily reporting that I have all the must haves plus the wedge boots! Love every single thing you recommend! My favorite might have to be the blardigan because my 4 year old renamed it "the love cocoon" and while I'm wearing it wraps himself in it. I've even caught HIM wearing it a few times on the off chance I wasn't wearing it!! *gasp* 😉 I keep saying I "need" a second.. (That Bordeaux wants to come home with me)…. But seriously I love all the must haves and i'm sending you a HUGE thank you!! Can't wait to see the next one…. Already put my mommy-spending-money on hold since you 1st mentioned it….. xo
Emily and Andrew says
January 21, 2014 at 2:26 pmProud to say own 3- leggings, jeans, and the new member of the family, the blardigan! My 3 year old requests to be wrapped up in it with me when I am putting her to bed at night! She even appreciates the softness of the blardigan!
Sasa Zoe says
January 21, 2014 at 2:32 pmLove your jacket and you look great as always<3

Mrs.M says
January 21, 2014 at 2:35 pmOk I want those wedges…but I'm 5'8 already and not sure I could pull off a heel that tall. Sigh!
Kim Kauffman says
January 21, 2014 at 2:41 pmI have 4 of the must haves. I'm still hoping to get the blardigan for my birthday and then maybe the wedges if they still have them this summer! My favorite must have is definitely the jacket. Love it and can't wait to pull it out soon. Actually, now that I think about it I love all of my must haves. The leggings are so comfortable and slimming with the wide waistband. Can't wait for the must haves of 2014!!
Nicole O. says
January 21, 2014 at 2:44 pmI have 4 of the must haves and love them all! I also have the fringe scarf and I jumped on the purple Wellies when they went 40% off in December. Perfect for me since I am a K-State wildcat living in Manhattan 🙂 I rocked those new Wellies for about 3 weeks straight when we had all the snow and they held up wonderfully! I have been happy with everything I have bought that you recommended. My most recent purchase was the Blardigan and I think this has to be my favorite of all time! So cute and comfy. The only person around here not singing your praises would be my husband. Just kidding 🙂 He may not like all my purchases, but does always say the things I buy look great!
Kathy Cohen says
January 21, 2014 at 2:46 pmI have everything but the blardigan. Its a little oversized for my short body! But I make up for it by having multiples of the other things! Thanks so much for what you do, you make my life just that much easier! thank you, thank you, thank you!
Amy Kleis says
January 21, 2014 at 2:57 pmI'm also a proud owner of all the MUST HAVES!!! I have the wedges in 4 (YES you read that right-4) colors and love them all!!! I go crazy over the must haves!!! Thanks for sharing!!! #commitedmusthaveslover
Katrin says
January 21, 2014 at 3:22 pmI have all except for the wedges (only because thy didn't have my size at the time, but hopefully in the spring). I love all items (I have 3 pairs of the Vigoss jeans and 2 pairs of the leggings. I also own the wedge boots in brown and black an LOVE them every day. I could go on and on with other items I love based on your recommendation…..kind of scary how many I own:).
Sabrina says
January 21, 2014 at 3:25 pmI have the wedges. People if you don't own those wedges–you are CRAZY. I get compliments every single time I wear them. People stop me in public. Get them. And I have the leggings. Oh my word at the LEGGINGS. I wear both pair at least once a week. I wash them all the time-they fit snug, they look new, and they are not see through. I feel comfortable in them that no matter which way I bend (haha) that no skin is going to be showing through–that's a comforting thought! hahaha!!!!
Tisha says
January 21, 2014 at 3:57 pmI have 3 of the 6. I have the putty wedges (LOVE LOVE LOVE and so comofrtable), the leggings (insane how woderful they are), and the plus size Vigoss jeans (which they don't have anymore- I am devastated).I love all of the items!!!!
Sonya Berkebile says
January 21, 2014 at 4:02 pmI only have one of the "Must Haves" from above! The Blardigan!! I splurged on myself with my Christmas money and I'm so glad I did! Seriously soft and comfy! I wore it yesterday and my 5 year old climbed on my lap and said, "Mommy, you feel like a soft teddy bear. I want to lay on you forever." 🙂 I also notice my hubby seems to hug on me a bit longer when Im wearing it, too. Another "Blardigan" perk, extra cuddles!
I also have the fridge scarf, soft pink infinity scarf, and Caslon tunic sweatshirt, and I love them!
I wish I could buy everything you recommend, but since Im on a limited budget, I often use the outfits you share on here and on pinterest as inspiration for creating my own outfits from what I have in my closet.
I love your blog! Thanks for all the work you put into it!
Mrs Scratch says
January 21, 2014 at 4:04 pmLet me say that I have only been reading your blog for a couple months. I wasn't around when many of the things were named must haves…but they are now on my Wish List. 🙂 I have the Vigoss jeans and the HUE leggings. I love the black leggings. Like wear them twice a week love. I also have the grey ones on my wish list and I'm thinking I'll spring for them very soon. That said…I am 7 months pregnant. I bought the Vigoss jeans purely based on your recommendation. lol. I can't even fit into them. Well…that's not entirely true. I can get them up, but they are no where near zipping or buttoning. 🙂 I just trust you that much! My husband thinks I'm crazy. I'm hoping to slowly increase my wardrobe to include all your must haves. Thanks!
Anna H. says
January 21, 2014 at 4:24 pmI have four of the six-the only reason I don't have the jeans is because I've been pregnant for pretty much two years straight. I don't have the wedges either, but only because I feel way too tall in them. I did try them on though and they are super comfortable! I convinced my mom to buy a pair and she loves them!
Because Shanna Said So says
January 21, 2014 at 4:38 pmThe denim jacket for the win!!!! Holla!!
April Parrish says
January 21, 2014 at 6:24 pmYay!!!!! I must say… It's about time!!!! 😉
My girls are out of school so it's thrown my routine off because I always read first thing of morning!
I also am a proud owner of all must haves, but the blardigan and shirt. I also own so many other great things that you reccomend!
Thanks for keeping me in style!!
Thanks! 😉
Chic Moms says
January 21, 2014 at 7:19 pmI would love to buy the wedges, but I'm a true 7 1/2 and they don't come in half sizes. ?
Erin and Josh says
January 21, 2014 at 7:36 pmI have the leggings (wear them embarrassingly about 3x week), the jeans (best pair I've ever owned, including designer brands), and must have shirt (love!) You are a great personal shopper!
Katie Mitchell says
January 21, 2014 at 7:42 pmI have three of the 6 must haves! Half is not half bad! The blardigan and leggings, which I wear all the time and a pair of jeans! The blardigan is my favorite! I so got my money's worth with that one! I LIVE in it!!! And I am not kidding! I can't wear it to work, but if I am home, I am in the blardigan! In fact I am in it now, and will be for the next two days because there's a blizzard outside and school's out early and closed tomorrow..woo hoo!! Thanks for all the must haves! Can't wait to see what your 2014 must haves are!! Oh….and I think I might have to go online and get the wedges…before they're sold out!! 🙂
Jenna says
January 21, 2014 at 8:57 pmUm, I have a the jacket and the jeans. I love my jacket. LOVE. It feels a little odd to wear the jacket in these dark winter months in Kansas City. So I haven't worn it since October. But I miss it so much. I can't wait to pull it out. Thanks for posting my pic 🙂 Love that look with the shorts. I received lots of looks with the wellie/shorts, but I think I rocked it! HA!!
The must have jeans weren't love at first for me. But I just took them back to Nordstrom a month ago and requested they hem them for me. GAME CHANGER. I now love them! A rolled jean doesn't look great on me since I'm 5'2"
Can we just give a moment of silence for the awesome customer service at Nordstrom? Hands down the only store I ever want to shop at for the rest of my life.
I actually just returned a cardigan there that I've had for a year. It has never held its shape. The clerk was thrilled to give me a full refund and help me find a replacement of a similar item. Outstanding.
Thanks for blogging!
Jenna says
January 21, 2014 at 8:58 pmI forgot to say I have the leggings!!! I want to buy more. I'm so afraid my black ones will tear or something and I don't want to be without them! The wide waistband does it all. I could live in them.
And I know you are singing praises of the blardigan, but I just cant do it. I feel like out of support for you, I should at least go try it on though! 🙂
Beth says
January 21, 2014 at 9:54 pmI have the must have shirt and LOVE it. It's so soft and hangs perfectly. It really is an effortless shirt! I want the leggings so badly but I'm holding out for them to go on sale again…
Jenny Aldridge says
January 22, 2014 at 1:27 amI have all the must haves! Plus some other items you suggested. Love them all! Thanks so much for improving my wardrobe!
clatk says
January 22, 2014 at 1:40 amI have 4- putty wedges, 2 pair of jeans, gray and black leggings, and the navy shirt. I also ordered the Blardigan today! I love them all so much and seriously wear them all.the.time. I also have so, so many other things, but my favorite are my Tom's wedges. Most complimented item in my wardrobe these days!
Ditto That says
January 22, 2014 at 3:22 amOMG I didn't realized I had ALL of the must haves until this post! It just had not dawned on me! Does that make me a stalker? The shoes and jacket were my firsts and I bought them at the same time. I teach on my feet all day and those shoes never bother me. I JUST got the shirt for Christmas, so I held out a long time due to the washing issue but finally caved. I haven't gotten to wear it yet because our family has been home for eons with the flu! Hoing to this week though!!!

January 22, 2014 at 3:27 amI have the Gray HUE Leggings – LOVE them. In fact, I'm wearing them right now (with the Caslon Tunic)! I have been eyeing those putty wedges since summer & keep thinking they'll go on sale, but they never have :(. They are actually in my online Nordstrom cart… I may have to ask for the Blardigan & wedges for Valentine's day! Your blog has become a go-to for me for fashion advice! I'm in my 40's, but the items you recommend are classic enough that I feel current, but not ridiculous, if that makes sense? Loved Shay's post today & can't wait for your shopping post!
Farryn says
January 22, 2014 at 3:33 amOkay…So I'm in looove with your blog….like seriously! I have so many of your must-have items! I kinda feel pathetic ( actually, no i don't). I loooove the wedges and proudly say that I have three pair. I literally wore one pair out ( that is how much I worse them) and had to buy a second pair of the same color. haha totally worth it though. I also love the must-have shirt and wear it ALL the time! I seriously regret not getting it in more colors because I wear it at least once a week….oh, and it looks super good with the (must-have in my book) scarf! I have the must-have leggings, as well ( imagine that), in three different colors! Hello awesomeness! And lastly…I received the must-have boots from Santa ( aka my darling husband). Shew… that was long! Buuuut I wanted to let you know that you are AMAZING and I LOVE READING YOUR BLOG! You go girl…keep up the title as FASHIONISTA! 🙂
Andrea says
January 22, 2014 at 1:05 pmI have the denim jacket, wedges, 2 pair of jeans, and 2 pair of leggings! I also own hunter boots, the black jacket, and the fringe scarf!!!! Thank you for always finding the best items! You are my personal shopper!!! Love it!!! 🙂
Samantha J says
January 22, 2014 at 3:20 pmI know the wedges are apparently super comfortable, but are they comfortable enough for a teacher who is on her feet all day? Definitely considering them if they are!
Sheaffer says
January 22, 2014 at 5:47 pmHi Samantha! Your settings are set to "no reply", so I hope you check back here for your answers. The answer is YES!!!!! They are totally comfy enough! I have had soooooo many teachers e-mail me saying that they wear them standing all day long and couldn't be happier!!!! Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
January 22, 2014 at 3:28 pmYou really did pick all winners!!! I have my fair share of those things! If only I had a hammer and nails… 😉
Maggie Kosciolek says
January 22, 2014 at 4:00 pmwhere did you get that cute sweater/dress with the ruffled bottom in the leggings pic???? so cute!
Sheaffer says
January 22, 2014 at 5:46 pmHi Maggie! It was from Anthropologie, but it's all sold out! So sorry! ; (
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
January 22, 2014 at 6:41 pmI have every single must have (the wedges in multiple colors) and you've never steered me wrong. So glad you recaped the Must Haves from last year. I can't wait to break my wedges out again this spring! But until then, the other items are getting good use, especially my blardigan. And I'm thinking of getting it in the cocoa color as well. Excited to see what you add to the list in 2014!
Katie Surly says
January 22, 2014 at 7:27 pmYou are so sweet and fun for including all those pics of readers in the MUST HAVES. Love it!! Thanks for being you!
katie elizabeth says
January 22, 2014 at 7:54 pmI have the wedges and the jeans so far… but now I'm thinking I also need the leggings and shirt! Good grief… love love love the wedges – they are my absolute favorite and I am a "shoe person" 🙂
The first day I owned the wedges, I wore them from about 8AM until about 2AM (it was my birthday 🙂 and my feet didn't hurt for one moment! They are heavenly – and I get tons of compliments 🙂
Thanks for sharing, Sheaffer!
Ashli says
January 22, 2014 at 7:55 pmI have been stalking Nordstrom's website waiting for the purple Hunter willies to go on sale and be in stock in my size! Two weeks of hunting paid off and Waaahh- llahh! Size 9 at 40% off! It's been the rainiest year ever, so I will send pics as soon as they arrive! I love my Toms' booties you recommended! ??

January 22, 2014 at 8:49 pmOk I have 5 out of 6 of the must haves!! I have two pairs of the wedges (black and white), 4 pairs of must have jeans, the denim jacket, the blardigan (cocoa- very neutral color, more of a grey-brown), and two pairs of leggings (black and grey). The only thing I don't have is the must have shirt… but I have a few other shirts that are very similar so I didn't feel the need to purchase- but it is very cute!! I absolutely love your blog- so fun to see what you find on your shopping trips!! Keep it up!!

January 24, 2014 at 12:37 amI have all but one of your "must haves"!!! 🙂 LOVE THEM ALL so so much! (I don't have the light denim jacket… started reading your blog too late for that one I guess.) I also have the Miz Mooz (spelling?) brown boots and LOVE them. I don't know if I can pick one favorite… I guess it would have to be the boots (since I wear them so much and they just MAKE any outfit – throw on the must-have jeans, a cute top/sweater/scarf – and the boots – and you are SET! 🙂 I also LOVE my blardigan and wear it all of the time b/c it's so cozy and warm yet stylish too. I also have 2 of the Stella & Dot items (the Cora earrings and the necklace that's reversible – my mind is drawing a blank on the name) and adore those too! 🙂 You are the best, Sheaffer! And I absolutely love reading your "Hwahan" recaps every Thursday. xoxo

January 24, 2014 at 8:02 amShaeffer, I only just found you & your hilariously fun blog 2 wks. ago…I was laughing so hard I couldn't stop reading. Like for several hours. In my PJs with multiple cups of coffee. I then had to send the link to all my friends back home telling them I've found my new online happy place. But here's the rub! We've been living in Munich, Germany for the last 2.5 yrs. Love it here, but now I'm seriously coveting a Nordstroms! AHH!! I'm not sure how much more I can take??! 😉 How in the world can I NOT get the leggings, the "love cocoon", your favorite shirt ever in 31 yrs? Etc etc?? Sigh.Think I'm going to have to check into international shipping. Carry on Sister. Love from Bavaria 🙂
