I’ve known I was going to do it for about a week now, so it’s time to let you ladies know about it too!
Thanks for the new fun graphic Andrea! |
IT’S SIMPLE!
Just send me pictures of yourself in
To review, the MUST HAVES include:
THIS jacket THESE wedges THESE boots
(fyi: The boots are all sold out except for 3 sizes in the burgundy. Fingers crossed the cognac and the black come back for the fall!) |
To be clear, I don’t want a picture of your jacket hanging on a hanger or your boots sitting next to the couch….I want a picture(s) of YOU in the item(s)!
count as a separate entry.
All pictures received will be placed into collages and seen on the blog on July 1st!
(Three things that aren’t must haves, but that I love!)
will be taking entries until June 28th (so you all have plenty of time
to get pics to me) and the winner will be announced on July 1st!
And just so you know, these were some of the working titles for the contest:
Sheaffer Really Knows Her Stuff.
Sheaffer Knows Best.
I thought the last one was pretty catchy.
Head on over to Shay’s blog today for the first installment of Shopping With Sheaffer and Shay!
We left the kids at home, and we took off to the mall.
We had a blast and found some really great stuff!
Shay’s picks are HERE this week, and I will have my picks up next Friday.
If you guys like this, we hope to make it a regular segment!
**********************************************
NOW ON TO MY OBSESSIONS:
OBSESSION #1
And yes, I am in fact aware that it’s summer.
LOVE.
You can find it at Target or Ulta.
But if you want to just order it, you can HERE.
It ships free, so why not?!?
In fact, pick out several colors.
I would recommend a coral and a mint, and have them shipped right to your front door!
And if you already have something in your cart from Nordstrom, throw some polish in too!
Yep, Nordstrom has Essie polish HERE!
****************************************************
I feel like the watches definitely need some more blog time (sometimes items mentioned in a Bachelor post just get lost).
So, I’m obviously wearing my new watch all the time.
Sometimes I wear it by itself, sometimes I stack bracelets with it.
(Several of you have asked about the mint bracelet in both pics. It was from LOFT, but it’s been out of stock for months. Sorry!)
I’ve received several e-mails this week with subject lines like “Eeeeeeeeeek!” and “OMG” and
“It’s GORGEOUS!” so I know several of you took advantage of the sale too.
However, as I said yesterday, even at 40% off the watch is still quite expensive, so I was THRILLED when I found an alternative
CHECK THIS OUT.
Fossil recently released a new watch. Her name is Cecile.
Well, Hello Cecile.
Click HERE if you want to see all of the differences, but here is the main difference:
The Fossil version will save you $145!
So, if you don’t care about the ceramic band or the baguette “diamonds” and you just want the “look”, Cecile is your girl.
Just check out the side by side I did and see for yourself!
Fossil on the left / Michael Kors on the right
I THINK THIS PICTURE IS AMAZING.
The Fossil option is awesome. RIGHT?!?
The thing I like the most about it is how the face is large just like the MK version.
And the bling is still plenty blingy.
WELL PLAYED FOSSIL. WELL PLAYED.
The Fossil version gives you all the bells and whistles! LOVE!
The silver Fossil version is HERE.
The gold Fossil version is HERE.
The rose gold Fossil version is HERE.
.
If you still think you want to spring for the MK version, you can find that HERE.
*****************************************************
OBSESSION #4
The UNBELIEVABLE LOFT sale that is going on right now.
(It says for “a limited time”, so I’m not sure when it is going to be over.
I’m thinking today or tomorrow.)
A whole mess of stuff is 40% off (including ALL of their dresses that I highlighted with the denim jacket AND their jewelry)!
After I posted the sale yesterday, a reader facebooked me to say that if you use the code “SUMMER” you would get another $25 off!
She was right! Thank you Total Momsense for sharing!
I ended up getting THIS maxi dress and THIS shirt
In addition to the dresses that I highlighted HERE, here are some of my other favorite items.
*********************************************************
And LOFT isn’t the only sale going on….
GAP is 35% off your online purchase!
This is about as good as it ever gets at GAP.
Click HERE to shop!
Online only. Enter code: GAP35.
*******************************************************
This next thing doesn’t qualify as an obsessions, but I still felt they were worth mentioning.
1)
THIS blazer is now 70% off.
That’s right. I said SEVENTY.
If you can find your size in a color you like, JACKPOT baby!
The reviews are mixed, but if you are looking for a blazer, it might be worth checking out at this fantastic price.
2)
I hear about Bauble Bar all over blog land (lots of
bloggers wear and promote their stuff all the time), but I’ve never
actually ordered from them.
This offer might be just what it takes for me to place my first order!
Go HERE for a limited time special and build your perfect summer stack!
I love the combo they have featured on the left with the mint, yellow, and hot pink.
FUN!
And in closing, I want to send you to some other blogs for some great posts.
Andrea, I think I’m going to need you to make another graphic. 🙂
Check out Cassie’s blog HERE for an awesome tutorial on some
hand made art that you can definitely pull off before Father’s Day.
It’s EASY and PRECIOUS!
Check out Jen’s blog HERE for an AMAZING before and after on her favorite sunless tanner.
She used self tanner on ONE leg for 3 days.
WOW. Great results!
Hop on over to find out what she used! (Bonus: it’s all natural!)
Mix and Match Mama says
I own all 3 of your "must haves"! And I love each and every one of them!!! I also love the nail polish, your watch, Cassie's post and Jen's post. Your post is HOT today girl! I love it!
Danielle @ Clean Food Creative Fitness says
I love obsession 1! That denim jacket is perfect for anything! Love the look with the bright shirt and white shorts too. I'll have to recreate this one!

Sheaffer,
Part of the text was cut off but I think I read that you are struggling with infertility. I'm so sorry. We dealt with that too and it's a difficult journey. Know there is purpose in the wait and you are filling so many lives with joy during this time. I will be praying! Blessings, Jen

I'm so excited about this contest! I wore my jacket last night and it looked so cute with my maxi dress! I almost took a picture last night to send but figured you were bombarded already with so many! I don't have the boots (yet) and hope the will get them back in other colors and my size. I love my wedges so much too.
Thanks for 70% off blazer, I'm about to order the pink/red one!

Thanks for the heads up yesterday about the Loft dress sale. I went by last night and picked up the striped little number you have and LOVE it! It feels so good and hangs just right. Have a great weekend!

I got so excited about the blazer, I thought it was the Olivia Moon one – I still haven't bit the bullet on that one. But I did try it on in another color at Nordstrom at it was an awesome fit! Today is payday though…
I bought the Calisto wedges in red and now I am not sure what to wear them with. I need to investigate this one.
Heather says
Eeeeeee!!! Thank you for the coupon code to Loft! I went there yesterday to buy the dress you suggested and they didn't have it in my size. I also saw a skirt I wanted, but it wasn't on sale. I got both with the coupon code!
aprilparrish says
I've checked out Shay's blog this morning and I really think I'm gonna enjoy the new series. Girls always need some shopping time with out kiddos!!!
I am also SUPER excited about the Must Have Contest!!! This is genius!!!
I was checking FB last night and saw your update about the LOFT sale and the extra $25 off and got some really cute things at a deal!!! Thanks for sharing with everyone!
Have a blessed weekend!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
That necklace is amazing! I really adore turquoise and red together. Can't wait to see what you and Shay are buying. Heading over there now!
Mommy of two :) says
Hi! Just a quick heads up, I tried the "summer" code at the Loft and it did not allow me to use it. Not sure why. Regardless, great sale! Thanks for a great post 🙂
Jen {Whimsy at Heart} says
I finally got the Kut denim jacket in the mail. It's fab & I have it packed for a beach trip already! I will definitely email you a photo of me in it. 🙂 Thank you for linking my blog under blogger love!
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
Stop it with the link love!!!! Thanks, girlie!! You really do look so cute in the denim jacket. And I'm so jealous of Jen's legs, that I can't even focus on the tanner!
happy weekend!
Blue-Eyed Bride says

One of my friends just bought 'THE WEDGES' and texted me immediately telling me I had to have them- I haven't caved yet…. but my birthday is next month and I had convinced myself I needed Hunter rain boots, but now i'm rethinking and I'll be purchasing THE WEDGES for my birthday! I'm so excited!!! (Rainboots will be purchased this fall or Christmas.)
Jenna {Real Simple Girl} says
I'm loving the Shopping with Shay and Sheaffer series! I can't wait to see your picks next week! I'm so glad you've shown lots of pictures in your jacket so it gives me inspiration on how to wear mine, especially in the summer! Have a great weekend!

I LOVE the MK & Fossil watches! I bought my first MK one last year at Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. I went to the Coach store shortly after and the woman there was telling me that MK watches are made with Fossil parts essentially and MK is just the luxe version, so I think that's why they're so similar! I want a white watch, but don't want to spend that much since I think I'd still wear my other MK one more, so I might have to get that Fossil one. You seriously have great shopping picks & I love the shopping feature!

I love the MK & Fossil watches! I found out from someone at Coach that the MK watches are made by Fossil with the parts, but that MK is just the luxe version. I think I'd get the Fossil one in white since I think I'd wear my MK silver/gold one more still. You find the BEST stuff & I'm loving the new shopping feature!

Sheaffer- Love your blog and was reading the last segment on the watches. WIth being a HUGE MK watch gal I thought I would share that Fossil actually makes MK watches. This might explain why you will find so many of the same styles across the brands. Fossil watches are a great alternative if you dont want to pay the sticker price for the MK watches. A lot of the same materials are used to make both watches 🙂

"6 degrees from Sheaffer"
We were out on a date night with another couple. We run into some friends of the friends we are with. I have never met these people before. The new friend looks at me and says, "wow! I love those wedges!" To which I reply – "you NEED these!" And tell her about your blog, the shoe comfort, and where to get them. Yesterday I'm told she now owns the shoes too and loves them. See – you even impact non-blog readers! Now I NEED to buy that jacket. It's Father's Day and I think I need a gift 🙂 haha
Sheaffer says
Hi Sarah! I LOVE that story! (Your settings are set to "no reply", so I hope you check back here for a response!)Thanks so much for sharing my blog with others. 🙂 And yes….you totally need the jacket for Father's Day. Ha! I know this is hard to believe, but I think it is even more than a MUST HAVE than the wedges. And that's sayin' something! 🙂
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
SarahN says
Thanks for the reply! Considering I am a jean jacket freak (I live in WI, I'm always ALWAYS cold) I am getting it tonight! Can't wait to add to my collection of "things to put on that won't look stupid when I'm cold and everyone else is just fine…)
Emma says
I love the Cecile watch! Michael Kors and many other designer watches (DKNY, Armani…) are manufactured by Fossil which is why they often look similar. Fossil watches are the same quality at a much better price – they also have a much better warranty.
Great post!
