GIRLS!!! I’m headed to L.A. tomorrow, and I could not be more excited!!! Seriously, there aren’t enough exclamation points in the world!!! I’ve teased this a bit on both instagram stories and the blog, BUT BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING. I’m so happy that today is the day that I finally get to share a bit about what will be happening over the next several weeks.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.
I’m absolutely thrilled to be partnering up with Gibson Look, Nordstrom, and 8 other bloggers to bring you a holiday clothing line!
Y’ALL!! A HOLIDAY CLOTHING LINE! AT NORDSTROM!
Everybody needs to get excited for the Gibson x Glam Collection! The collection will feature pieces that will help us all get as cute as can be as we head out the door for get-togethers and parties with friends and family during the holiday season! I’m just one of 9 bloggers involved in this one of a kind collaboration, so I want to let you know who else is coming to the party. Some of the girls are my real life friends, and some are bloggers I follow that I can’t wait to meet!
I am so incredibly honored to be a part of this stellar line up.
Top Row: Erin of Living in Yellow, Megan from Honey We’re Home, Tara of Jimmy Choos and Tennis Shoes, Ashley from Fancy Ashley, Cassie from Hi Sugarplum
Bottom Row: Mallory from Style Your Senses, Dede of Dress Up Buttercup, ME!!!, and Rachel of Pinteresting Plans
So here’s what’s happening. Each of us will have a namesake piece that was created with our own personal style and our followers in mind. And I’m telling you, my top is DARLING. And our tops are all going to be named after us. So, to be clear…there is going to be a top at Nordstrom named The Sheaffer. And when you click on my top, it will be ME in the top ON THE NORDSTROM SITE. Let’s all let that sink in. Please, take as long as you need to ooh and aah appropriately. And if somebody could go fetch some smelling salts for me, that would be much appreciated.
Last week I received the entire collection. AND LADIES, it’s GORGEOUS. Headed to a fancy cocktail party for work? We’ve got you covered. Headed to a fun Girl’s Night Out to celebrate the season? We’ve got you covered. Meeting family for a nice dinner? We’ve got you covered. The Gibson x Glam collection is here to help you get dressed with confidence during this fabulous time of year.
You know me, I’m typically a jeans and tee kind of girl, but there’s something about getting all dressed up and fancy during the holiday season that just makes me feel all sorts of festive! And this year I’ll be throwing on a top NAMED AFTER ME. #seriously #smellingaltsplease
The collection will be launching exclusively at Nordstrom on November 12, but we are doing all sorts of work behind the scenes right now. The entire Gibson xGlam squad is headed to L.A. tomorrow for a couple of days filled with photo shoots, activities, and lots of girl time. Our days are going to be jam packed, but my goodness they are going to be SO. MUCH. FUN.
I’ll be leaving bright and early tomorrow morning, so I’m spending today getting ready. Of course I still have to pack, which is difficult when you’re styling outfits that are going to be on the Nordstrom website! WHAT IS THIS LIFE?!? #smellingsalts #PLEASE And you better believe I’ll also be taking a packing break to get a mani/pedi and a spray tan. I mean, a girl has to be prepared.
So, let’s talk about the brand for a bit. I’ve loved Gibson for awhile now and have highlighted (and worn the heck out of) several Gibson pieces throughout the years. I’m looking at you twist front fleece top (still available and some colors on sale!).
Then I FELL HARD when one of my blogger besties launched an entire collection with the brand this past May. Here are my favorite looks from that collection. You can click HERE to see my post announcing the launch.
So when this opportunity came up for me, it took me all of about .0001 seconds to be ALL IN. After all, Gibson is a clothing brand that I (and y’all!) already know and love!
In honor of my future collaboration with Gibson, I thought I would show you some Gibson pieces that I currently have in my closet.
These Gibson joggers are good. Realllllly good. For size reference, I sized down to a PETITE small (at 5’4″) so they would be a bit cropped. They are soft as can be, very light weight, and have a very flattering fit!
Paired with my favorite white tee, the must have denim jacket, and my camo wedge sneakers, I have a great outfit for running errands around town, a road trip, or a flight! As always, use the code STMSAVE10 for 10% OFF your Barrington purchase.

Y’all know I wear my striped v neck short sleeve tee all spring and summer long, but I’ve never had a long sleeved one that I love. UNTIL NOW.
Click HERE for the perfect long sleeved striped tee (in several colorways). It’s cute on it’s own with the rounded hem, but it’s also great layered under jackets, like this new camo one! I’m wearing a small in both the tee and the jacket. Both are a relaxed fit in my regular size.

If you want to try one piece from Gibson, this top is what I suggest you try first. It’s made of their famous fleece fabric and the v neck is feminine and flattering. It’s lightweight, incredibly soft, and just plain cute. I’m wearing my regular size small, but I think you could size down in this one and be fine. I grabbed this soft blush, but it comes in 4 other colors.
I’m still wearing my new Sam Edelman ankle jeans, and I rarely take them off these days. They are the PERFECT length for my 5’4″ frame when wearing flats, booties, sneakers, and loafers! And the little side slits add some style! My favorite earrings ever are making yet another appearance, and I’m loving the sweet little bezel necklace I picked up last week.
And ladies! If you were one of the readers last week that was sooooo disappointed when your size of the UGG loafers sold out, get excited! I found another source, and they are $40 OFF right now! I have my regular size, but size down if between sizes. And as always, you can use the code STMTSAVE10 to save 10% on your Barrington purchase!

Made of the same cozy fleece fabric as the v neck above, this turtleneck is business in the front and party in the back (with the cute little crossover design). If you want it to fit more like a shirt (and less like a tunic), I would suggest trying the petite. The 3 online reviews all suggest sizing down.

And do you remember this sweatshirt I showed just last week?
This darling sweatshirt that Gibson sent me is ON SALE! And yes…those cute little cuffs are a part of the sweatshirt. It comes in several colorways, but I like the grey and pink floral the best. I’m wearing a small, so it’s true to size. I’m wearing a 27 in the jeans and my regular size in the loafers (but you might consider sizing down in the loafers if you are between sizes). So, Gibson sent me this grey one, but I loved it so much I went ahead and bought it for myself in soft pink.

I think it’s obvious that I love the Gibson brand in a big way, so let’s go to L.A. y’all!
Make sure you are following along with me on instagram, because I hope to be able to hop on and show you a little bit of behind the scenes stuff that goes down! I’m so happy that the cat is finally out of the bag, and I hope all of y’all are excited about the collection and following along on this journey.
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART…
It’s because of you ladies, my dedicated and supportive readers, that I’m even considered for an opportunity like this. SO, THANK YOU! I have the best readers, and I’m just so incredibly grateful for all of you. Thank you for coming to my site, thank you for sharing it with your friends and family, and thank you for all the kindness and love you always show me. Hugs to all of you! xoxo

Lynn Duncan says
Very happy for you!
You will be in my time zone (I am in Orange County).
Just a heads up.. Check the weather.. We are supposed to get some rain and possible flooding, so pack accordingly. This is not our usual weather in fall, but there was a hurricane that may affect our weather. I think around Wednesday.
Now, the last time I was in Dallas there was a most impressive lightning and thunderstorm, so you are used to that.
Safe travels and have fun. ???
Sheaffer says
Thank you, Lynn! And thanks for the heads up! xoxo

Amy in PA says
Do you still work as a speech therapist? I imagine this blog’s success is a full time job and am just wondering if you’re doing both.
Thanks,
Amy
Sheaffer says
Hi, Amy! Right now I’m just doing the blog. I’ve talked about it in a couple of posts before, but doing both at the same time was just too much. I’m still keeping my licenses current of course and doing all of my continuing education, so I will be able to transition back to it one day if I want to! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

Paige says
I cannot wait until the collection is revealed! I hope they stock more quantity than normal, all of us followers will buy like crazy I’m sure. I think I buy more that you recommend than any other blogger I follow and most of it works for me – which is great considering I am much older (46) and much larger (size 10-12). I just bought the Ugg loafers and I don’t even like loafers but I figured I needed to try them since everyone raves about them 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Paige! The collection really is amazing and I’m just so proud to be a part of it! Thanks for the support! xoxo, Shaeffer 🙂
Renee says
Congratulations! You certainly earned it!
Sheaffer says
Thank you so much, Renee!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

This is so exciting! You are SO worthy of this! I cannot wait to see how cute The Sheaffer is!! Have so much fun!
Sheaffer says
Thank you so much, Beth! All of y’alls kind words have had me on Cloud 9 all day! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Ruth Poat says
Congratulations lovely! Im sure it will be a beautiful top! I’m very happy for you xxx
Sheaffer says
Awww! Thank you so much, Ruth! The top is gorgeous and I’m so excited to share it! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Amanda @ That Inspired Chick says
Sheaffer!! This is AMAZING!! Biggest congrats to you!! I can’t wait to see your top!!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Amanda! Thanks so much for the support! And the top would be SO CUTE on you! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
E says
Congratulations! Go girl!
P.S. I loved your quinoa salad.
Sheaffer says
Thanks for the congratulations, E! And yes, the quinoa salad is LEGIT. 🙂 xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Suzanna says
How exciting! Can’t wait – I follow several of y’all, so this will be epic!
Quick question: you inspired me (“told me to”) to get some black wedge heel sneakers. I’ve been waiting to wear them this Friday to the Taylor Swift concert. Any other ideas as to what kind of outfits would be cute and comfy with wedge heel sneaks?
Thanks!
April Parrish says
This is so exciting!!! You’ve worked hard so this is well deserved! I can’t wait to see your piece and the entire collection.
Sheaffer says
