Here’s the deal, I tried to come up with a funny title, but I had nothin’.
So, I went with informative.
#consideryourselfinformed
So, let’s start with the reader e-mail!
Sheaffer:
Iāve dressed them up with a statement necklace but theyāre also good to wear casually!
It comes in 3 colors (including grey and black), but I adored it in ivory.
The reviews on this top are fantastic.
Here’s just one:
This top is even more stunning in person, online you can’t really see the intricate details, its so feminine and delicate, but also really sturdy and great quality. I got the cream and I am considering getting the grey (which looks more like a grey/blue) in person, but still beautiful! So happy with this purchase!
When I ordered from Anthro a couple of weeks ago, I also threw this next shirt in my bag, even though I had never tried it on.
I fell in love with the colors and the pattern, and I just had to try it.
AND I LOVE IT.
It’s the total idea of the MUST HAVE shirt, but with all sorts of bells and whistles! š
I wear an x-small in the MUST HAVE shirt, but I’m wearing a medium in the Anthro shirt.
It is quite low cut, so I’m wearing a black cami with it (click HERE for an awesome black cami).
Click HERE for the Persian Pear Tee.
Here I am wearing it with my dark skinny jeans (similar HERE from Treasure and bond), my Frye boots (mine sold out, but other Frye’s HERE on sale!),
and my Rayne necklace in teal c/o Kendra Scott (HERE).
FYI, the Frye boots I’m wearing in the above pic are sold out, but the SUPER POPULAR Frye Melissa Button boot (my mom and my sister both have this boot) is ON SALE!
Click HERE!
And here I am wearing the same top with my light distressed jeans (similar HERE) and my
over-the-knee boots c/o Sole Society HERE!
I absolutely love the border on the bottom of the blouse and the pattern and colors are terrific!
Before we move on, I want you to consider one of the above tops for your Thanksgiving day outfit!
Both are cute and comfy AND FLATTERING! And I like how they both bring something special to the table.You know you need to look extra cute when you are seeing family that you haven’t seen in awhile!!!
š
Now it’s time to talk about NEW JEANS!
Let’s all just take a moment to check out the Vigoss jeans that were just added to the Nordstrom website! THESE look awesome!
The Vigoss I’m wearing in the above pic are actually distressed even though you can’t tell in the picture (distressing is by one of the front pockets and right on the knee), so these new ones are a SUPER close match!
If you have and love some of the Vigoss MUST HAVE jeans already, then you are probably already throwing THESE BABIES into your cart without a second thought because you already know that the sought after sizes (typically 26-30) sell out pretty fast!
SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE!
Click HERE!
(Regarding sizing, I haven’t tried these exact ones on, so I’m not sure. I’m a 27 in almost all of my Vigoss jeans, except for 1 pair where I’m a 28.)
UPDATE:
I checked this morning, and 26-30 is already sold out!
If you are a facebook follower who scooped them up last night when I posed them, go ahead and give yourself a high five!
(If you don’t follow me on facebook, you should HERE so you don’t miss out! I often give my facebook followers a sneak peek!)
Let’s all cross our fingers they get re-stocked fast! I will of course send out an alert if they do!
It’s 3:15, and it’s looks like they have been re-stocked!!!! HURRY!!!!
Okay, it’s time for the “RANDOM SALE ITEMS” portion of our post today!
See?
Informative.
It seems to me that Nordstrom is just going to continue rotating sale items right now…
probably until Christmas. Lucky us!
So, I will continue to try to find the best current items!
Click HERE to shop women’s coats on sale under $200.
Click HERE to shop bags and accessories on sale (priced anywhere from $50-$300).
In the collage below, I made an entire outfit from items that are ALL ON SALE!

These Tory Burch Caroline ballet flats are also ON SALE and available HERE (3 colors)!
I don’t have any TB flats yet. If you have them and think they are TOTALLY worth it, please leave a blog comment telling me that you love them and why!
#pleaseandthankyou
The multi-color are on backorder, but I’m thinking it might be a possibility that they sell out again soon, so if you want them, you might just have to suffer through the backorder. (I tried to see them at the mall yesterday, but the multi-color are sold out at the store too.)
On the site, I like the gold better than the silver….but in person, I liked the silver better.
Maybe it was the lights in the store, but the gold read a little green to me.
The silver were STUNNING.
The gold were still VERY pretty, just not as gold as I was expecting!
Click HERE for the sequin studs!
Okay…now for a couple of Santa Alerts!
Click HERE for these DARLING slippers that are ONLY $18!!!!!
EIGHTEEN DOLLARS and sooooo cute!!!!!!
A very well priced gift for any girl on your list!!!!
These would actually be a fun gift to give on Christmas Eve!
Click HERE for a selection of women’s pajamas that are on sale!!!
My 2nd Santa Alert of the day is from last year, but it got such a good response, I thought it was worth showing again!
Check out this red velvet lip scrub HERE.
Click HERE for the entire line of Sara Happ lip scrub products in a lot of other yummy flavors (think Creme Brulee or Grapefruit!).
I hadn’t heard of it, but I ran across it online and was first attracted to it because of
the precious packaging.
I thought it would be SO CUTE as a Christmas present or stocking stuffer.
And then I started reading the reviews online, and I was sold.
And then I went and got some to try for myself, and OH MY WORD. It is delightful.
I immediately called Shay (because she is a product expert) to see if she had heard of it.
And guess what. She uses it every day, LOVES it, and says this 1 little jar lasts about a year.
Here’s one online review:

And the cute packaging makes it great to give as a gift!
And since we’re talking about SANTA ALERTS, I thought you might want to see the new stockings I ordered for my family earlier this week! I’m so excited about them!
I am DYING over the Golden Retriever stocking!!!!
Golden Retriever stocking HERE / painted Santa stocking HERE
red plaid with green cuff HERE / brown plaid with red cuff HERE
And if you want to see my other 2014 Santa Alerts, click HERE!!! I think the post might help you hammer out several people on your list!
p.s.
I’m VERY excited about Friday’s post.
Think cardigans, scarves, and blanket scarves!
Here’s one of the looks you’re going to get to see on Friday!

Natalie Zambreski says
That lip scrub looks like the PERFECT stocking stuffer!
Megan says
I can't wait for Friday's post!!! I love scarves but am horrible with making them look cute! I also ordered several pairs of the $8 earrings. I got them in yesterday and they are precious!! I can't wait to use them as gifts. Now just deciding who gets what color!! š

I have two pairs of Tory Burch shoes and they are seriously the most uncomfortable shoes I own. I suffer through wearing them because they are so cute but seriously, the pain is not worth the price.
Alicia Christie says
I completely agree! They are so cute but so very uncomfortable, and I Hate to say that because I loved Tory Burch and have several things, but I do love her sandals!!
Erika Slaughter says
I absolutely love your Santa Alerts!!!! I need to check those out ASAP!
Mix and Match Mama says
I'm buying more Kate Spade studs. Shut up. XOXO
Ida Berger says
What color???
Narci says
Well, I want all 3 sparkly Kate Spade studs now. So fun! That lace tunic is darling, also!
Laura P. says
I love that tunic! So cute!! Also, I have two pairs of TB flats. I love the look, but those babies aren't too comfortable. I have the classic Reva flats, so hopefully the ones you posted are better. They took me a long time to break in and honestly, the quality was disappointing. I sent one pair back to TB to have the bottoms fixed after a year of having them (and not wearing exclusively). The back/heel tends to be problematic for me as well and doesn't always stay up. Super cute, but just not as amazing as I want them to be (but I still bought two pairs–oh well). Maybe I'm in the minority. Hope that helps!
Anonymous says
You're not in the minority! I'm right there with you in everything you said. Bummed I shelled out all that money for multiple pairs of TB flats. I think the Caroline's are the most comfy out of all of them, but definitely not the most comfy pair of flats I own. I still love the look of TB flats though. No pain, no gain I guess?
Anonymous says
I ordered my first pair of Reva flats a few weeks ago and had to send them back. I knew immediately when I put them on they would hurt and were not comfortable. I was so disappointed because I love the look too! I ordered the Caroline's instead so I'm crossing my fingers those are more comfy!
MandyJ says
I want to order both Anthro shirts, LOVE! For size reference, what size do you normally wear in Loft shirts? Thank you for sharing all your outfits and finds, I love your blog and your style!
Sheaffer says
Hi Mandy! That depends. Sometimes I wear a small, sometimes a wear a medium. In cardigans at LOFT I usually wear a small or x-small. I'm afraid this might have been no help at all! thanks for the sweet words about the blog!
xoxo,
Sheaffer š
Rebecca says
I have the TB Caroline flats in MANY colors, you will LOVE!!!!!! They are a MUST HAVE indeed! Thanks for all your hard work to find all these wonderfully yummy things, I truly enjoy reading and find "too" many things either I need or my daughter does. You are just too fun!
Tyson says
Those jeans are seriously already gone in 26, 27, 28and 29. Gone. Already. Oh, the power of Sheaffer and PTMT!! š
Chrissi Shields says
What a sweet pic from your reader! Congrats to her! Love the studs they are FAB!
Kelly says
I have a pair of TB flats that are very comfy. I can't find them online for the exact style. They are the softest leather and have the emblem on the back heal, not on top of toes. HOWEVER. The leather has quickly started to wear out. I got them two years ago for Christmas and after a few months, the side started to wear out so much it is almost a hole! Not cool for paying $200 for a pair of shoes!
Anonymous says
The TB Eddie's! Those are the most comfortable flats TB has come out with. Why can't all her flats be that comfortable?? I definitely feel the same way about it being totally not cool to pay $200 for a pair of flats that don't wear well or hurt your feet. TB needs to get it together a little better haha.
Anonymous says
I have several pair of the TB reva flats and ordered a pair of the Caroline last year and they did not fit me as well. They were gappy if that makes any sense.along the sides. Maybe good for wider feet. Love.the help.with Xmas shopping even if you make me mostly want it for myself!!!
thanks,
Lisa G.
Stacy Grant says
YAY! I ordered the multi-colored Kate Spade earrings. Do I "NEED" the silver? I mean, come on, they are sparkly, right?
Anonymous says
Your "Baby, It's Cold Outside" graphic is perfection š You should add a phd in (enter whatever program you use) line to your signatures haha. The Caroline's are my favorite TB flat because they're really easy to wear. I know some people don't like the elastic around the opening, but I think that's what helps make them more wearable. Also, the Caroline's and Eloise's are way more comfy than the Reva's. I think the Reva's work best if you have super narrow feet. But all are classic and versatile flats!
April Parrish says
I broke down the end of the summer and purchased the Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats in Nude…I was so excited, but they have been seriously HARD to break in. They are all for LOOKS not for comfort. You are paying for the name! I really love the way they look just not comfortable.
I also recently purchased the Melissa FRYE boots and saw where you said they were now on sale. I made a quick phone call to Nordstrom and they credited me the difference. Love the boots and very comfortable. Very hard to get on, but they are quickly stretching out.
Have a great day! š
kmknowles says
I have a pair of the patent nude Reva Tory Burch flats and I can't lie, I HATE them. I know hate is a strong word but they were very pricey and they are the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever owned. They are so narrow and tight (I have narrow, small feet to begin with and they were still too narrow). I tried breaking them in but I could never wear them for a whole day before my feet were screaming and blistered! I wear heels often so the comfort of shoes hasn't always been my priority but these are truly unbearable. I haven't tried the "Caroline" fit you were featuring. I am almost afraid the invest that much money again in the flats. On another note, I own 2 pair of the TB Miller sandal and they are by far my most favorite sandal ever! They are great and comfortable, just can't say the same for the Reva flat.
Darcy says
I have two pairs of Tory Burch flats and they are worth every penny! (I have always purchased them on sale though!) I have had them for over two years and you would never know it. They have not lost their elasticity and still have their shape. I was worried the emblem would get loose or scratched and that has not happened. I want another pair, but feel like I need variety in my closet haha!

Oh my goodness! I must have those multi glitter Kate Spade studs–sooo cute!
dresselfamily.blogspot.com says
I just ordered the cream anthro shirt, and I am excited and nervous LOL!!
Anonymous says
Sorry, I did anonymous because I don't have any of the others, but are the sequin studs the same size as the other KS studs that you & Shay raved about & look super cute in? I bought them & must have super tiny ears or something because they looked terrible on me =*( I love these but don't want to order them if they're as big…
Sheaffer says
Hi there! They are definitely just as big as the other KS studs. So sorry! š
xoxo,
Sheaffer š
Ida Berger says
What color studs did you get?
Mego says
Thanks so much! This is really helpful. I have super small ears and piercings that need to be repairedā¦ So I can only wear small earringsā¦ Great print Christmas presents though!
Domestic Engineer says
Sheaffer, you are seriously bad for my wallet! You are so dang cute in everything that it makes me want to buy all your must haves. On the TB shoes. I love my snakeskin Revas but they are not super comfortable. They look amazing however so I wear them when I want to look cute and make an impression, butnot when I have a ton of walking to do. Ooh, also, the new Revas dont have the scrunched back, if that makes sense, so they may be more comfortable.

What style of Vigoss jeans do you wear a 28 in?

Your graphic is fab! And can you please start posting some ugly stuff so I don't want it all?!?
Suzanne says
I broke down and ordered a blardigan. I swore I'd never spend that much, but I had a little windfall come my way and it was on sale, so…. OMG! So soft! So warm! People, buy this!!
Kim says
What an awesome graphic!!! I need those Kate Spade glitter studs. I'm
Glad you liked the silver in person, those are the ones I've been eyeing!!
Because Shanna Said So says
You have the sweetest and most dedicated readers ever!! This picture is so sweet!! And I love that you recreated her look!! Keep doing hat you are doing!! š Still so sad you can't comment on my blog. UGH!
Amanda & Jerrod Carpenter says
I have 2 pair of Tory Burch flats and I love them! I have black and nude colors and they are probably worn 70% of my work week. They can dress up jeans, and also look great with skirts and slacks. They are also really comfortable once you break them in. I have never had one complaint about them, and think they are definitely worth the price!
Amanda & Jerrod Carpenter says
Oh, and I ordered the multi color glitter KS studs, they are supposed to arrive this week! I can't wait! Thanks for posting!
Melissa says
Holy blisters, Batman!
The TB flats are super darling, but I literally have a blood stain in the back of one of my mine from breaking it in. My sweet mama bought them for me and I was so excited I wouldn't let myself focus on the pain ; ) Now that I've had them a while, they are really comfy and I wear them often but the breaking in is an arduous process. Some of my friends had the same exact problem, which made me feel better I didn't have an odd foot. Good luck!
Michelle says
The Capriccio shirt….is the medium bigger everywhere else or just longer in length? I can't decide what size to order. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi Michelle! I'm not totally sure, I just guessed and ordered a medium and it worked for me. I haven't tried on the small, so I can't really talk about the differences?!? Sorry I'm not more help!
xoxo,
Sheaffer š
Camille says
The jeans are sold out AGAIN..!!! (insert sad face with streaming tears…)
Auntie Heather says
Tory Burch makes beautiful shoes but must admit they are not comfy! I have several flats & find the Caroline's to be the most comfortable. I have the Reva's and while they seem to be the most popular they definitely require some breaking in. I also have her boots & a pair of booties & didn't have any issues with them. I haven't had any problems with them wearing out or the leather not holding up. They are all super cute & worth the money just wish they were as comfy as they are cute!!!
Amy Kleis says
I have the Caroline ballet flat in the nude color and I love them….I have a wide foot and these babies fit great…cover all your toes at the top and there was no breaking in problem as it is with the Reva's….I actually took my Reva's back after trying them around the house….they cut off near your pinky toe and makes them extremely uncomfy. Ain't nobody got time for that!!! I wanted a pair of your fav Vince ballet flats, but those too are horrible for wide feet, so I ended up with the Caroline's which I do recommend!!
Sarah says
I have 3 pair of the TB Reva flat. Two of them (in black and in tan) have the elastic around the back of the ankle and those tow pair were the worst to break in, comfort-wise. The patterned pair without the elastic were very comfortable from the moment I put them on. I find them to be true to size and very versatile. They also hold up VERY well. You can find them on sale from time to time on the Tory Burch site also…
Emily Evans says
I am so excited to be on your blog today!!! And thank you for re-creating my outfit, that was maybe the most exciting thing ever! Totally made my day š The top is adorable with gray leggings, I love it!!!!

Yay Emily! Thank YOU!!!!!

Melanie Lien says
Alright Sheaffer I need good tops to wear with the leggings for Christmas. I am buying all the ladies in my family these Hue leggings now!
Mock family says
I really want some tunics from anthro that you've been posting and I have no idea why I didn't jump the day you posted about 20% off and free shipping…. what are the odds of that happening again anytime soon??
Sheaffer says
Hi there! I have no idea, I'm so sorry! I know that I personally don't have any special codes coming up. š
The Rohman Family says
Wow! I'm so glad you asked for opinions on the TB flats. I've always thought they were adorable but seriously tough to shell out that much money for flats. Over 90 percent of the comments talked about how uncomfortable they are or how difficult they are to break in. And EVERYONE really WANTED to like them. I think I'll save my money for something else. Thanks, Sheaffer š
