So do any of you have a case of the Mondays today? Well, I can hardly blame you. For starters, I didn’t eat pie for breakfast this morning. And that’s a total bummer. Not that I did that on Friday either. Or Saturday. ????
Well, I don’t have pie to offer y’all for breakfast, but I promise that things are about to start looking up. Shay and I are going to try our best to combat the Monday blues. Today kicks off our fifth Annual FIVE DAYS OF FABULOUS series where every single day we will be giving away some AMAZING prizes! Prizes that WE BOTH LOVE!!! Seriously. #holdontoyourhankypankys #itsgonnabegood
This year I adopted the GO BIG OR GO HOME mentality. And I think you’ll see from my costume that I decided to GO BIG.
So…drum roll please…time to announce the DAY #1 GIVEAWAY! A pair of Hunter Boots for yourself AND 4 FRIENDS!!!!
TAKE THAT, MONDAY!
And yes, I’m a Christmas tree. With a star and everything. YOU’RE WELCOME. #imallsortsoffestive
And if you think we look jolly in the picture below, you should see the videos on instagram and facebook. 😉
YEP. That’s right, ladies! We are giving away 5 pairs of Hunter boots! If you win, you will get a pair of Original Tall Matte or Original Tall High Gloss rain boots for yourself AND 4 FRIENDS! YES, FOUR FRIENDS!!! Or if you’d prefer, you can choose the original short rain boots (in matte or gloss), which are super cute too. We know that we’ve given these away several times in a row now, but WE LOVE THEM. And we know that Y’ALL LOVE THEM. And they are just plain fun to give away. So, we are again. #hopeyoudontmind
Let’s talk about my Hunters for a minute. I got my first pair about 5 years ago. I got a tall light grey pair because when spending so much money on a pair of rain boots, I thought it was best to be practical and get a neutral color. So I coughed up the money and crossed my fingers I would actually wear them.
Bless my heart.
That first year I wore the ever-lovin’ flip out of those boots. I’m not kidding when I say that a 12% chance of rain was enough for me to slap those puppies on. I wore them so much that I ended up asking for a red pair for Christmas that next year, and I got them from my in-laws! And you know what? I wear the red ones wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than I wear the grey ones. They are just so bright, cheery, and fun. I made them a Santa Alert several years ago, and that still stands. They are an extravagant gift to give…but they are just so dang fun. AND REMEMBER. THEY ARE PRACTICAL TOO. ???? Click HERE for the red that is currently available (that is closest to the color of my red boots). It’s called military red.
Now remember, in order to win today’s prize, you must enter the Rafflecopter at the bottom of today’s post (after all of my Cyber Monday picks). There are several ways to enter each day, and if you don’t have any forms of social media, you can still get points for following both blogs by e-mail (click HERE to subscribe).

In case you are wondering if you would wear rain boots with regular everyday outfits, let me provide you with some outfit inspiration. I’m going to start out by showing you a couple of outfits with my red Hunter boots with items that are ON SALE for CYBER MONDAY!
Y’all….the long grey cardi is ONLY $23.52 and the necklace (that comes in 14 colors!) is 20% OFF! For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the cardi and a small in the softest tee on the planet. The tee isn’t on sale, but it’s still worth it. It’s buttery soft, not form fitting, and great on it’s own and for layering.
long cardi on SUPER SALE / like buttah tee / hot pink necklace on SALE / leopard belt / jeans / red Hunter boots
Here’s the necklace again, but this time with a great sweater that’s ONLY $20.59! And the earrings are 20% OFF too! For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the sweater. I’m wearing a 1/2 tuck here, but it’s also cute worn out (seen below worn out in a different outfit). Some people complain about it being tight in the arms, and they are definitely fitted, but the sleeves don’t bother me at all! I also really love the cute little pleated detail on the v neck. The sweater is soft as can be, and it also comes in black. The price will go up tomorrow, so it’s your last chance to grab it at this price!
I really loved the grey, hot pink, and red color combo. And the pop of leopard made it even more fun.

Here I am in a round up of just a handful of outfits I’ve worn with my Hunter boots. And again, the military red are the closest in color to mine.
If you aren’t married to red, look at all of these choices that are ON SALE RIGHT NOW! Just click on what you are interested in. These boots are awesome to get, but they are just as awesome to give…especially at these reduced prices!
All right….enough about Hunter boots…
Now it’s time for the BEST CYBER MONDAY ROUND UP EVER!

This exact colorway is just about sold out, but there are lots of other colors still available in both stripes and solids. For size reference, I’m wearing a regular small.
And I feel it necessary to STRONGLY URGE YOU once again TO GET THE BOOTS. The price is going back up tonight at midnight, so there’s not much more time. And I’m telling you, you want these boots. True to size and incredibly comfy. I promise you can wear them all day.

*************************************** UGG **************************************
I’ve got some FREAKING FANTASTIC NEWS for you. I know lots of you were bummed when the tall slim profile UGGs sold out at Nordstrom….well, I found them for 40% OFF on their own website!
Click HERE for the boots! Conner’s wearing the tall ones that are ON SALE (on the left), and I’m wearing the mid-size ones on the right. Conner is only 5’2″, which is why they look SUPER tall on her! My normal 6 1/2 is perfect on me, but the website suggests to size up if between sizes. If you were never a fan of the original UGGs, these new slim profiles might surprise you. It’s amazing how much the tiny wedge and the more narrow toe bed really girly them up!
I wear mine so much that I’m actually considering getting the tall ones in black now that they are 40% OFF. They are the most comfortable shoes I own, and I wear them with jeans, leggings, and pajamas.
And click HERE to see other items that are 40% OFF at UGG!

Make sure you click over to see the sweater on the site. The lights have a hint of sparkly thread in them, and they spill over on to the back of the sweater! Such a fun touch! This is going to be perfect for me to wear to Carter’s Christmas party at school. I’ll also love wearing it when I’m out and about Christmas shopping!

Colleen is running an incredible deal today on The Discovery Kit!
The cult favorite Discovery Collection will be marked down to $49!!! (That’s a $150 value, normally $95.) WOWZA!!!!
Supplies will be limited, so if you are interested, I would recommend buying early.
If you’ve wanted to try some things, but haven’t known where to start, this discovery kit is a great option for you. It contains many of their most popular products and would be a great way to give them all a try! Personally, I was excited to receive it, not to try the items (because I already own the full size of most of them), but because they are PERFECT for travel.
The kit includes the following
- Radiant Cleansing Balm
- Dual Enzyme Polish
- Clarifying Detox Mask
- Sheer Renewal Cream
- Extreme Recovery Cream
- Face Oil N°9
- Muslin Cleansing Cloth
- And an exclusive CR Travel Bag
With the exception of the face oil (it’s a bit to oily for my skin, but my mom absolutely swears by it), I absolutely love everything in the kit.
