This is such a busy time of year, especially when you run a business like mine, that getting creative with what I’m wearing can kind of slip to the back burner.  If I’m being totally honest, there were two days this week where I neither fixed my hair nor put make-up on.  And if you know me, you know that basically never happens, even when I’m sick, so yeah, this year’s been a real doozy on the busy scale.  This is one of my go-to formulas for getting dressed in a pinch: boot-cut jeans, my favorite leather jacket, a soft sweater and a cozy scarf.  Nothing fancy, but it always makes me feel put together without much thought. Also, I’m completely obsessed with these turtleneck sweaters right now.  I picked up this emerald one last winter and have been praying Target would bring the same cut back again this year because it’s just so so good, and they did (huzzah!) so I bought it in–ahem, four other colors.  That’s how perfect this sweater is, and… double bonus it’s on major sale right now.

 I’m still trying figure out some time to finish my Christmas shopping, because my awesome and ambitious goal of having it all done by the end of November, well, it  just didn’t happen.  We’re heading out of town, and down to the Oregon coast for the weekend (I need a weekend away like whoa), and I’m thinking I’ll use the drive to button-up the last of our Christmas shopping since we’re still a week or so out on all those “last day to ship before Christmas” deadlines.

Speaking of which, the drop-dead last date to order something from our shop and still get it in time for Christmas is NEXT THURSDAY.  All of our new dresses are now in stock and we’re shipping them out by the bundle as we speak.  A few sizes have sold out/are close to selling out, but almost all of them are still available.  There are also a few pieces still available to ship immediately in our Azure Nora Skirt, and Rose, the Audrey skirt, and the Gingham skirt.  Also, all our kickstarter designs went to the ends section this week.  Pick up one at a deep discount, but hurry because sizes are selling out fast.

Happy Friday everyone!
