EBY EARLY BLACK FRIDAY SALE
Okay, ladies! Let’s talk about a brand that deserves a spot on your radar: EBY!
If you’re somebody who believes that your bras and undies should be just as comfortable as they are pretty, you’re going to LOVE what this brand is all about. I’ve been seeing influencers talk about the brand for years, and I finally decided to try them myself. Well, I’m officially a fan. If you’d like to try the brand too, now is the time because they’re having an EARLY BLACK FRIDAY SALE where you can get up to 30% OFF of select items.
LOOK HOW PRETTY!!!
EBY specializes in ultra-soft, seamless intimates that are designed to look beautiful, feel amazing, and actually stay in place. We’re talking gorgeous bralettes, everyday bras, and panties in all sorts of flattering styles, pretty colors, and fun prints. They even have innovative no-slip technology to help prevent annoying rolling, sliding, and bunching. YES, PLEASE!
If you can’t stand underwire, Eby has lots of options for you. This mesh bralette is the specific piece I’ve been seeing other influencers talk about for years, so I was excited to finally try it. Here’s what you need to know:
- Wire-Free Support — Natural hold without pressure points or pain.
- Velvet Detail — Provides subtle lift and shape with a luxe finish.
- Lightweight Sheer Mesh — Breathable airflow keeps you cool and comfortable all day.
- Seamless Construction — Smooth support without friction or bulk.
- Slip-Proof Flocking — Keeps the bra exactly where it should be, all day.
I looked at the size chart and ordered a large for myself. I might could do a medium, but I actually like the comfort of the large.
Sizes range from XS all the way to 2 XLDD (with 10 sizes to choose from).
Here’s what you need to know…
Medium coverage, mid-rise fit. Sheer and a little cheeky. Seamless with no-slip grip to keep it in place all day long.
- Soft, breathable sheer mesh for your comfort
- Cotton lining for health and hygiene
- No riding, sliding, or bunching
Sizes range from XS to 4x (that’s 8 total size options). I like how the mediums fit me. I also like how they stay where there supposed to. Nobody’s got time for undies that ride, slide, or bunch.
And here’s something else I love about EBY: they’re a brand with a mission! Every purchase helps support microloans for women around the world who are working to build their own businesses and create better futures for their families. So not only are you treating yourself to some really pretty everyday essentials, you’re also supporting a company that’s working to make a difference. Cute, comfortable, AND a company with a heart? I’m here for it!
If you want to be inspired and learn more about how they are making a true difference, click HERE.
And seriously, how GORGEOUS are these pieces. I’m absolutely loving the neutral floral print, and the combination of the soft taupe and creamy white is just so pretty, but there are 9 color combos to choose from in just this set (and some color combos are super sexy). The bralette has a flattering V-neckline, wide straps, and a comfortable band, while the coordinating undies complete the cutest little set. I especially love the delicate mesh fabric and the feminine floral details. It’s pretty, modern, and sexy without being overly frilly or totally over the top. EBY really knows how to make everyday intimates feel special, and this set is a perfect example!
If you already love EBY,or if you decided to give them a try, let me know your thoughts!

BROWN JEANS
Okay, these brown jeans are SUCH a fun find! I absolutely love the rich brown color, and I think they’re going to be so versatile for fall and winter!
So let’s talk about these brown jeans. The high-rise fit is super flattering, and the straight-leg silhouette with a subtle flare gives them a modern, updated look. They’re fitted through the hips and then relax into a wider leg, which makes them perfect for pairing with everything from fitted tees to chunky sweaters. And I love that they’re a little unexpected compared to your typical blue denim! Style them with cream, black, camel, or even a pretty pop of color. At just under $40, they’re a great way to freshen up your denim collection without spending a fortune! For size reference, I’m wearing a 6. I’m going to style them several different ways today to show their versatility.
We’ve got some major cuteness overload going on with is this tulip Fair Isle cardigan. I am absolutely smitten with the chocolate brown color and the sweetest little holiday-inspired details! The tiny pops of red, green, and white give it such a festive feel without being over the top, and I love that it’s a cardigan that can be worn buttoned up as a sweater. The ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem give it a classic look, and the fit is just right for wearing with your favorite jeans. It’s festive, it’s cozy, and it’s just plain CUTE! I think this one is absolutely perfect for all sorts of holiday fun and actually think it looks like a gingerbread house in the best way, especially when paired with these brown jeans. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

A classic black cashmere sweater is one of those wardrobe staples that you’ll wear for years and years, and this one is SO GOOD! It’s simple, timeless, and effortlessly chic. I love the relaxed fit, the crew neckline, and the way it looks with a little front tuck. And because it’s cashmere, it has that luxurious feel that makes even the simplest outfit feel special. I paired it with my favorite jeans, neutral booties, and some gold jewelry for an easy everyday look that still feels totally pulled together. And don’t even get me started on how cute it is with a patterned bag! This is one of those sweaters that you’ll wear on repeat, and you’ll never regret having it in your closet. CLASSIC!
Love the classic black and brown color palette here.

A classic chocolate brown sweater is ALWAYS a good idea, and this one is such a great basic to have in your closet. (But if you don’t love he brown, it comes in 7 color options.) I love the flattering v-neckline, the relaxed fit, and the simple, clean design that makes it so easy to dress up or down. The rich chocolate brown is absolutely gorgeous with light-wash denim, but what really makes this outfit fun is the accessories! The green beaded necklace adds the prettiest pop of color, and the gold heart necklace layered with it is just darling. And of course, I had to throw on my favorite patterned tote! This is the kind of effortless outfit I LOVE… comfortable, classic, and pulled together without even trying.

Okay, how cute is this jacket with the brown jeans. I’m absolutely loving the blue and burgundy plaid, and the gold buttons give it such a fun, elevated look. It’s got a slightly boxy fit that feels modern, and I love the shorter length with these high-waisted jeans. It’s the perfect little layering piece to throw on over a simple sweater or tee when you want to make an outfit feel a little more special. And I especially love how it looks with my burgundy sweater and turquoise jewelry! This is one of those pieces that does all the work for you. Just throw it on, add your favorite jeans, and you’re ready to go!
UPDATE: I saw that this jacket is already super low in stock, so you can click HERE for a jacket that’s a similar idea from Nordstrom.

LOVING the all neutral look here.
I am OBSESSED with this Fair Isle henley sweater. Give me ALLLLLL the cozy Fair Isle sweaters this season, especially when they come in gorgeous shades of chocolate brown, camel, and cream. The pattern across the shoulders is absolutely darling, and I love how it gives this classic sweater a little something extra. And can we talk about that henley button neckline?!? Such a fun detail that makes it feel a little more special than your average sweater. This is the kind of outfit I want to wear for a day of shopping, a casual lunch with girlfriends, or a cozy weekend getaway. A total fall and winter WINNER in my book! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but I think a small would still have a relaxed fit so you might want to consider sizing down if in between sizes.

ULTA HOLIDAY SETS
I know lots of y’all are starting to do some Christmas shopping. Heck, I know lots of y’all are already wrapping it up, but I on the other hand haven’t even started. #storyofmylife
I had to pop into Ulta the other day to drop off some Happy Returns to Tuckernuck and Gap. Have y’all done Happy Returns before? It’s really pretty convenient, so I love when retailers offer the option.
Anyway, while running into Ulta to do my returns, I was totally impressed by the number (and quality) of the gift sets that they had to offer that I decided to grab some pics for y’all! Click HERE to shop everything at Ulta and click HERE to shop all of their holiday sets. I’m telling you, you will be blown away. Here are some that caught my eye…
I’m ordering this for myself for a stocking stuffer. Do y’all buy some of your own stocking stuffers too? It has great reviews.
Tatcha Most Loved Little Luxuries
This set is an incredible value! It’s a $616 value, for ONLY $89 with any Lancome purchase.

Here are my new finds…
Okay, this coat is just CHIC. CHIC. CHIC. I’m absolutely loving this one, y’all! The gorgeous neutral color is so versatile, and the oversized funnel neck is what really makes this coat special. It gives it such an elevated, sophisticated look without feeling the least bit stuffy. I love the slightly boxy silhouette, the cropped length, and those oversized sleeves. And the button-front detail is the perfect finishing touch! It’s got that expensive designer-inspired look, but it’s still casual enough to throw on with jeans and booties. I think it would be equally fabulous dressed up with trousers or thrown over a sweater and leggings. It’s modern, it’s classic, and it’s effortlessly cool. I would suggest sizing down. I’m in a small, and it’s still oversized.

Y’all know I love a good striped sweater, but a striped cardigan? EVEN BETTER! I love the classic navy and cream stripes, the contrasting blue accents, and the button-front design. It’s got a sporty, preppy vibe that feels fresh and fun, and I think the slightly cropped length is perfect for pairing with your favorite jeans. Wear it buttoned up as a sweater like I’ve done here, or leave it open over a simple tee or tank. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
striped cardi / my favorite earrings / heart toggle necklace / gold bracelet stack / released hem jeans / this year’s neutral booties ON SALE
This cardigan is sweet as can be. The gorgeous deep red color is absolutely perfect for fall and the holiday season, but it’s those darling little embroidered bows that completely stole my heart! It’s feminine and playful without being too precious, and I think it’s such a fun way to add a little personality to an everyday outfit. Wear it buttoned up like I’ve done here, or throw it over a simple tee for a more relaxed look. It’s preppy, it’s charming, and it’s giving me all the festive feels! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Before we go, let’s review the pieces that made me fall in love with the brand…
Back in September I pretty much did flip flops over this jacket. It hasn’t been cold enough for me to actually wear it in real life yet, but I’ve had a ball styling it in tons of different outfits at home.
When I saw it online, I knew immediately I wanted to try it…
When I took it out of the box, I thought it looked like it was going to be great…
When I tried it on, I FELL IN LOVE.
The rich brown faux suede, the easy fit, the slightly cropped length and oh so subtle bubble hem make it feel so current for this fall. But the best part is how versatile it is! It looks great with all colors of denim, and I even think it would be good styled with dresses and dress pants. So I put together a handful of different outfits today to show you how it literally goes with all types of outfits. And even though there are several looks today, I know I’m just getting started with this jacket. You are going to be seeing it alllllllll fall long, so you might as well grab it while I’ve got a code for you!
SIZING TIP: For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It’s very slouchy, but I love it like this. If you want it less slouchy, I would definitely suggest that you size down. A small would for sure fit me and still be roomy.
It’s a faux suede, but it could have fooled me, and it looks so much more expensive than it is. I’m telling you that this easily looks like a $300 jacket and it is going to be a staple for so many of us this fall. We are all going to be reaching for it again and again.

I still think this sweater dress is EVERYTHING I want in a fall and winter outfit! I mean, cozy, comfy, effortlessly chic, AND you get to wear it with tall boots?!? SIGN ME UP! I absolutely love the rich charcoal color, the relaxed fit, and the chunky ribbed detailing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. And the slightly blousy sleeves are such a pretty touch! It’s one of those pieces that looks totally put together but feels like you’re wearing your favorite oversized sweater. It’s perfect for a date night, church, or even Thanksgiving festivities! It’s simple, it’s classic, it’s cozy, and it’s the kind of outfit that makes getting dressed SO EASY. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I will say it runs a bit on the short side, so keep that in mind if you have a really long torso or really long legs. But keep in mind if you are worried about the length, you could definitely wear tights with the dress to make it more modest.

WEEK IN REVIEW
This sweater is one of my favorite finds from the month so far and it is NOW ON SALE. The cream with chocolate brown stripes is an absolute CLASSIC, and I’m loving the mock neck, relaxed fit, and chunky ribbed trim. It’s cozy without being bulky, which is perfect. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
I paired it with these light-wash straight leg jeans, and I love how the lighter denim keeps the whole outfit feeling fresh and casual. The neutral suede booties are the perfect finishing touch, and of course I had to add some gold jewelry and my favorite bag! This is exactly the kind of outfit I want to wear on repeat all fall and winter long. Effortless, comfy, and so dang cute.
And because I always get questions about this bag, this was the very first bag I borrowed from Vivrelle, and I loved it so much that I ended up buying it for a reduced price. If you’re interested in borrowing bags from Vivrelle, you can click HERE to look around and see all of the bags they have to offer, and you can use the code SHEAFFERSIMS to get you YOUR FIRST MONTH FOR FREE!!!

Look how incredible this jacket is. I’m absolutely loving this rich rust color, and I think it’s such a fun way to add a pop of color to your fall and winter wardrobe! The shorter, boxy silhouette is so chic, and the oversized collar, tortoiseshell-style buttons, and front patch pockets give it tons of personality. And don’t miss the darling button-tab details on the sleeves! It’s got a classic, tailored feel but still looks modern and fresh.
