All the Best Black Friday Sales!!!

Black Friday is here!!!! Like I mentioned yesterday, this is my first time blogging during Black Friday, and the amount of sales is beyond overwhelming. However, I did A LOT of sale scouting, so I'm happy to share my finds with you today! My hope is that this post can serve as a resource for your Black Friday shopping.

I believe I'm a little too excited about the layout of this post. It is broken up into 3 sections. The first section includes 15 sale items that I own, love, and highly recommend. The second section includes a breakdown of the AMAZING sale going on at Nordstrom. The last section includes a roundup of all of the sales and discount codes you could possibly need! Organization makes me so happy. I hope you find this Black Friday guide to be helpful!

UPDATE: I have added one more section of my newest finds that I am adding before the other sections, so it's easy to find! Scroll down below the picture, and you can find the newest sales I have found!

This coat might be the #1 item I suggest purchasing today! Perfect for you or perfect as a gift!

The Best Coat in 7 Colors

I am so excited to give this coat its own blog post today because it is such a great one! It is very nice quality and comes in 7 cute colors, which makes it really hard to decide which one to order. The price point is also reasonable compared to other similar coats! To make it even more affordable, it is on major sale today!!!! And free shipping!

(Sorry for the overload of !!!!!s. It is always exciting when something I have planned to post is on sale the day I post it!)

Coat // Tunic // Leggings // Shoes // Crossbody Bag // Earrings

The J. Crew Factory coat that I am talking about today is almost identical to this J.Crew coat (pictured below) that is much pricier. The main difference is the pockets. And the enormous price difference. Aside from that, they are basically the same coat. And this one is also super similar.

When I posted the picture of me in the green coat on Instagram, I got some questions about sizing because the reviews say it runs big. I totally agree with that review. However, I typically like my coats pretty big, so I can comfortably wear sweaters underneath them. I am usually between 2 sizes, and I went with the smaller size, and there is still plenty of room to fit layers underneath it. So if you are between 2 sizes, I would choose the smaller one.

Parker and I actually got the green one I am wearing for my mom's birthday gift. However, I knew I wanted to get one for myself too. I went to the store last week and tried on every color they had to decide which one I like best on me.

Before I tell you which one I chose for myself, I'm going to show you the pictures and see if you can guess which color is my favorite! Also, please ignore the dirty mirror that is causing spots to appear in funny places.  I am wearing this super soft plush turtleneck tunic, these leggings, and these boots in all the pictures below.

Did you guess that pink is my favorite?! I have always loved bright colors, but I have been loving bright pink even more than usual lately. So PINK is the color of the coat I like best for myself! My mom likes the green one best. Which color is your favorite?

Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Pink and Sparkles for the Holidays

Because I wanted to enjoy every single second of the weekend I had with my family in Southaven, I decided to take Monday through Wednesday off of blog posts. I also wanted to use the past few days to prepare some holiday content for you! 

I was going to share all about my weekend with my family today. However, because my outfit is on sale through tonight, I decided to switch the dates of the posts. This way you can take advantage of the sale prices before they end tonight, and a recap of my weekend with my family will be on the blog tomorrow! 

Anyway, can you believe that Thanksgiving is one week from today, and then Christmas is right around the corner? Time is flying! I have a lot of holiday content and gift guides coming your way. So today, I decided to kick off these posts with my favorite holiday look thus far.

OUTFIT DETAILS: Top // Skirt // Shoes // Bracelets

As soon as I stumbled upon this skirt, I knew I had to have it. I honestly can't remember the last time I bought a skirt. However, this one was screaming my name, and I couldn't pass it up. The ruffles, the length, the COLOR... I love it all! 

The first time I tried it on, I tried it with this top (which I love)...

and this top (which is so cute, but a little different from the one I linked)... 

I love both of them. However, when my family was visiting last weekend, we stumbled upon this white top, and this one was the winner for us. I adore the ruffles and scalloped lace trim. However, you can't go wrong with any of them, especially since they are all on sale today. You can get 25% off full price styles through tonight with code CHACHING. It is an online only promotion, and you can get free shipping if you spend $150+ or $5 flat rate shipping.  

My mom, Ebie, and I all got the same white top with ruffles and scalloped lace trim. The details are so fabulous. But let me tell ya something- In this skirt, I sized down 2 sizes and still had plenty of extra room, so I was feeling pretty good about myself...

They didn't have my true size in the top, so I grabbed one size below and one size above to try on. I tried on the size above first, thinking it would be too big. Nope, too snug. So I had to go up 2 full sizes in the top. I was quickly brought back down to reality after the excitement of going down 2 sizes in the skirt. 

I will make up any excuse to wear sparkle heels. So today, I am styling this skirt with a white top and sparkle heels. However, there are so many different things you can do with this skirt. When it cools down, throw it on with a black sweater, black tights, and black booties, and you have a totally different look.

My mom actually got this skirt too, but she got the gray one and is going to wear the same white top with it. Ebie and I have the same pink skirt and white top, so she will most likely try to twin with me when I'm home for Christmas.

This outfit makes me feel so festive and ready to attend some holiday parties!

Have you started planning any outfits for the holidays yet? I'm clearly so excited about this one! Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Loving Lately: LOFT (+ 40% off everything!)

I went to Memphis last week to pick up Parker's birthday present, and I thought I would run in and out of Loft real quickly while I was in town. I ran in, but it certainly wasn't a quick trip because I found SO many cute things! I will never buy anything full price at Loft because they have sales so often, so I tried all these things on and did not buy them because the only sale they were having at the time was $25 off pants. 

So I saved this post for today because Loft is now having a 40% off everything sale with code HAPPY. I was so impressed with everything I tried on. I thought just about every dress I tried on would be perfect for Thanksgiving or any upcoming event. And I absolutely adore the 2 sweater tunics I tried on. I'm excited to finally share my finds with you today!

Plaid Knit Flounce Tunic- This dress is fabulous for those of us down south because no matter how warm it is in November and December, this dress isn't going to cause us to sweat. However, if it is cool, you can throw on some tights under it and a coat over it. The drop waist is my favorite part! This dress could be perfect for so many occasions.

Lace Bell Sleeve Shift Dress- How perfect would this dress be for any holiday event? It is a shift dress with the prettiest lace bell sleeves that add a little something extra. So classy and cute! 

Windowpane Choker Dress- This dress is on sale plus an additional 40% off, so it is marked down from $80 to $33! Such a steal! 

Lou & Grey Hoodie Dress- Have y'all bought anything made by Lou & Grey? Everything I have tried in this line is SO soft and comfortable. I have been living in sweatshirt dresses lately, and this one is so cute with the stripes and bell sleeves!

Shimmer Plaid Smocked Tie Neck Blouse- This blouse has such pretty details! I love the shimmer, but it's hard to see in the picture.

Flecked Boatneck Tunic Sweater- LOVE this one! I have been loving tunics lately because they are so cute and comfortable to throw on with leggings. This one is so soft, and you can't really tell in the picture, but there are cute little colors mixed in with the gray. That's why they call it flecked.

Heathered Cowlneck Tunic Sweater- Another fabulous tunic sweater that is soft and the prettiest shade of blue!

Remember to use code HAPPY to get 40% off all these items. Do you see anything you like? I am trying to narrow down my cart because there are too many cute things!! Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Click here to view full post- Three Things Thursday

It has been quite the week for us with Bailey, my mom, and Parker all having birthdays! Celebrations are so much fun. Thanks so much for reading! Have a wonderful weekend!

Three Things Thursday

I've got another Three Things Thursday post for y'all today with (unsurprisingly) 3 things that have next to nothing in common. However, before I get into the three things, I've got to give Parker a birthday shoutout! It would take me way too many blog posts to attempt to put into words how grateful I am for this wonderful husband of mine! 

Parker did not ask to be the unpaid, hard working photographer for Art Fashion Fun. However, he has so kindly accepted this job and been the best behind-the-scenes supporter I could have ever asked for. He doesn't typically read my blog posts- I think the time spent on photographs is enough Art Fashion and Fun for him. But I couldn't write a blog post on his birthday and not throw a birthday wish out there!

That's enough for now. Back to today's 3 things:

1. The best, long-lasting lip color- I will be the first to tell you that I am not one who knows much about makeup. However, I have a few select products that I really do love, and this ultra wear lip color is one of them. It is known to be extremely long-lasting. And the color I have is perfect for fall and winter. On one side, it has the base color coat, and a clear gloss is on the other side. The color I have is #69 Tender Beige. It is a little more than I typically spend on lipstick. However, it is worth it in my opinion!

2. Marinating chicken in buttermilk- Y'all might think I'm crazy on this one. However, we love it! Parker watched something that said marinating chicken in buttermilk will make your chicken super moist. So, we buy buttermilk when we know we will be eating chicken. And the night before Parker cooks the chicken, he puts the chicken and buttermilk in a ziplock bag and lets it sit in the refrigerator overnight. 

We have been doing this for a couple of years now. However, Parker's parents got into town last night, and we cooked dinner at home for them. As soon as Parker's mom tasted the chicken, she said what did y'all do to this chicken? It is so moist! So that made me realize people may not know this little trick, and I decided to switch up one of my original three things to this one. If you try it out, let me know what you think!

3. The cutest holiday outfit- I shared this picture on Instagram last night, but I wanted to share it here too because it is the perfect outfit for any holiday party! Or any fun occasion really. Y'all, this skirt is the cutest! Bright pink and ruffles? I clearly had to have it. It also comes in indigo and topaz if pink is not your thing. The best news is that it is on sale right now. What you need to know is that it runs extremely large. I sized down 2 sizes. And the pretty silk blouse is true to size. It is also on sale!

The link I provided takes you straight to the Shop My Insta page. All you have to do is click on the picture shown below on the Shop My Insta page, and all of the outfit details will appear (along with some other pink sale items I linked). Click on any of the items you see, and you will be taken directly to that item on the retailer's site! You will definitely see more of me in this skirt. I'm thinking some sparkly silver or gold heels would be so much fun with it!

Parker's parents are in town, it's Parker's birthday, and I am meeting Kathleen from Carrie Bradshaw Lied. It's a great day! Thanks so much for reading! Have a wonderful day!

Wednesday Wishlist: J.Crew Factory Edition

A couple weeks ago, my mom sent me a picture of this coat from J. Crew Factory. Ever since she sent that text, I have noticed at least half a dozen bloggers wearing it. Every time I have tried something these bloggers have shared, I have been so happy with my purchase. They say it is the highest quality coat that you will most definitely get your money's worth out of. I have seen girls wearing gray, camel, and purple. My mom's favorite is green, and my favorite is pink!

After thinking about this coat for the past 2 weeks, I decided to make a wishlist of all the things I want from J.Crew Factory. I've also been trying to figure out why I don't shop here more often. High quality J.Crew items for a fraction of the price... there are so many amazing deals! Another perk is that they offer $5 flat rate shipping and free shipping on orders over $100.

I think so many things I'm sharing below would be perfect Christmas gifts (especially the jewelry and scarves). My mom actually got Ebie and me these earrings yesterday with a coupon she had for her birthday. They would make such a cute and fun gift or stocking stuffer! 

I actually stopped by J.Crew (not Factory) yesterday, and I stumbled upon this coat, which is almost identical to the one at J.Crew Factory. The only thing that looks different is the pockets. And the original price of this one is $350, and it is currently on sale for $262.50. The similar coat at J.Crew Factory is originally $228, and it is currently marked down to $159.50. 

J.Crew Coat I'm Wearing // Similar J.Crew Factory Coat // Pink Sweater // Leggings // Boots // Crossbody Bag

The majority of the items you will see below come in various colors. If you click on the picture, you will be taken to that item on J.Crew Factory's website and you can check out all of the other color options. I think this coat that my mom picked out is still my very favorite (it is pictured below in red), but I am also LOVING the jewelry, pjs, vests, and these signature leggings. 

Do you have any favorites? There are just too many cute things for such reasonable prices! Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!
