Don’t close your wallets yet! Henri Bendel is having a Sale…

1 Comment

Yup.  You read that correctly!  Another sale indeed!  No doubt that the incidence of store sales this increased significantly this January.  A histogram would be fun, but I will leave that for a later time. 😉

Anywho, there are some fun items that are 50% off – and also all less than $50 – that might be worth your time and money. Below are a few of my faves.  Hope you love them as much as I do!

Until next time!  Stay Chic!

This can be worn stacked with other bracelets or alone. I love the mix of different types of bracelets, and especially love the combination of gold and black.

Can I just say that I am IN LOVE with this bracelet?! Sigh. I want it, but for now, on my birthday wish list it goes! Anyhow, it reminds me of the Hermes turn-lock bracelet which I also covet, but cannot phathom paying the price they demand for it. This is definitely a great ‘luxe for less’ alternative.

As an academic, I tend to carry business cards with me often when I travel. This card case is different from the traditional card case where the cards are exposed, thereby exposing the cards to possible damage to the top edges from coming into contact with other items in your bag. This one is a nice neutral color and also fully protects the cards. Perfection.

So, this is a hair tie with a fancy chain on it. Well, to me, it seems this could easily double for a bracelet, don’t you think? That’s how I would wear it if I purchased it! Stack it with other chunky and not-so-chunky bracelets and you have quite the arm party!

I’ll be the first to admit that I had NEVER heard of a travel candle, but it makes SO much sense to have them!! I think that in all of my travel, I have stayed in a single hotel that smelled amazing the entire time I was lodging there. Others smell mildewy or smokey… Anyhow, having a travel candle is a must from now on for me. This one is great for travel, particularly because of the non-glass casing.

Oh this clutch! What isn’t there to love about it?! Geek chic, much?? Yup. I think so. A bold, amazing hue; the functional strap to enable adequate holding of said clutch; and the fact that you can also store other items inside along with your iPad makes this a winner in my book. For anyone wondering, this TOO is on my wishlist. Buy it. Now. For me. Kthnxbye. 😀

Thirfty Thursday’s with Sira & Mara

5 Comments

You know that I’m always on the look out for steals and deals, so this week I’m featuring a company I recently became a big fan of: Sira & Mara!  I’ve followed them on Instagram for a while and recently purchased a couple of their items.  I have to say, the prices are unbeatable AND the quality is amazing for the price!  Check out one of the scarves I got recently:

Screen Shot 2014-12-04 at 7.11.01 PMThe scarf is SUPER warm and cozy!!  I love that the entire scarf is lined with fringe, and that it’s an infinity scarf.  Often when scarves are not, I have a hard time styling them and instead they look like a failed attempt at wearing a scarf.  It could be simply because I’m from LA and never had to deal with “truly” cold weather, or it could be that I’m truly talentless when it comes to scarves.  Ha!  Anyway, you get the picture.

So, the scarf.  It’s $19.99, which in my my opinion is at the perfect price point for a holiday present!  It’s a nice neutral color, so it would be loved by all…I think.

The other item I ordered was this adorable turquoise spear necklace.  I looked for a necklace like this one all summer, so I snatched it up the minute I saw it on the Sira & Mara website.

Screen Shot 2014-12-04 at 7.17.31 PMCheck out how some of my Instagram friends have styled theirs:

Screen Shot 2014-12-04 at 7.23.27 PM Screen Shot 2014-12-04 at 7.20.44 PMThis necklace is only $12.99!  A steal for this type of necklace!  AND, this company offers free shipping for all US orders.  Often, when online companies offer discounted items, the shipping is what gets you.  In this case, you only pay taxes on top of your subtotal, so it’s quite a deal!  Perfect for a thrifty shopper like yourself.

Here are a couple of my other faves:

The Rebel Bracelet

Pretty awesome finds, right?!  Hope this helps fill some of those holiday shopping voids on your holiday checklist.  In the meantime, let me know what you think of these items OR if you ended up buying some for yourself or others.  Happy Shopping, friends.

Until next time!  Stay Chic!
