SHOPBOP'S FRIENDS & FAMILY SALE

Shopbop only offers its friends and family discount a couple times a year so when it happens, I like to seize the moment! Here are a few of my picks for accessories and shoes...


When it comes to clothes, I'm contemplating this sweater (suede patches are my jam), this dress (isn't this the prettiest color?), and this little number (never too early to start thinking New Year's Eve). Oh and if you love my new bag, 20% off is the perfect excuse to splurge! Enter WEAREFAMILY at checkout and comment below to let me know what you snag!

WHERE TO BUY AFFORDABLE RUGS

I was helping a friend source inexpensive rugs for her new apartment when I realized that some of you might like to see what I found. Here are a few of my favorite places to look...


{1} Urban Outfitters for patterned flat-weave options 
{2} West Elm for jute area rugs perfect for covering wood floors or layering with smaller options
{3} Lulu & Georgia just launched with a number of unique offerings (I want this doormat
{4} Dash & Albert for basic stripes in every color under the sun 
{5} The Land of Nod for great geometric prints worthy of adult attention
{6 & 7} Pottery Barn Teen for patterns and solids perfect for a twenty-something's apartment 
{8} Rugs USA for pretty trellis prints in great neutrals

Where have you found affordable rugs? What's the next piece on your decorating wishlist?
