I have no idea if some people's sales that were a bit early were their Black Friday or Cyber Monday specials. Either way, tomorrow you can either hit the streets or have the benefit of enjoying Black Friday from your computer as some people want to intice you days prior to the Cyber Monday extravaganza! DSW is having various specials today and also on Monday as well. Obviously, they are not the only ones doing this as Woodbury Commons opened last night later in the day in anticipation if great sales.

Whether you're shopping from home or out on the streets today or this weekend, deals are bound to be had! Make sure you have a plan and have plenty of fluids as some people begin building their days. Leave a note of any great finds that you happen to find along the way so that we can share this with others.

During Fashion Week, it's more than the fabulous clothes and parties, I love being in the tents and getting introduced to new products. As I walked around the various booths, I came in front of Boots. I knew them to be a store that sold various skincare, beauty products, etc. But I was surprised that the line called No7 was their own line. I was given a moisturizer for day and night and I have been using it since Fashion Week! I love how fresh my face feels and as I received a full sample, I know that when it's time to get another one, I can either go to Boots or I can get it at Target. This is affordable and attainable skincare that will make your face glow everytime you apply the creams! This has made my skin look very refreshed and I honestly feel that I am getting a mini spa everytime I was my face! So although this post is late in coming, I wanted to spend a few months with this product before sharing it with all of you!

I love shoes and in the winter, I am all about boots. Since it feels like the season lasts forever, it's essential to have as many of them as possible (the same goes for fun scarves and winter gear). I buy shoes from all over and growing up, I used to go to DSW! I loved the fact that you could get designer shoes at an amazing price or a variety of moderate shoes that instantly boosted your closet! When I left Indiana, I was happy to have so many shoe stores in my area; however, I was always a little bummed that there wasn't a DSW! Then one day after a walk in Union Square I found one and a bit later downtown received one as well!

I love that they are near by and every now and then I pop in but I am so pleased that DSW allows you to order online! Now you don't have to walk around looking for your new found love but you can enjoy browsing for hours and everytime you visit the site, you'll find new items to fall in love with! So definitely make sure that you think about the looks you want to rock this season and see if you can replicate it here as well!

When it comes to my handbags, I never skimp on the whole style and function factor. The way I think about it, my bag is worn throughout an entire season with barely any change ups. This bag needs to become my staple and go with a number of things that I happen to wear. There are so many factors that dictate whether a bag will be appropriate or not. I want the color to pop but not to the point where it seems like I am lost in color. I need a sizeable bag with many compartments  and I need to feel that my personality is definitely reflected as well. In addition, I always love when I can find a great boot that makes me love the bag that much more.

Earlier this week, I was introduced to Hayden Harnett and I fell in love. Not only do I love their accessories but I love the boots and they have a clothing line too. They know how much pop they need to infuse in their pieces while allowing your personality to come out too. Essentially, you're wearing the pieces and not the other way around - which is a good thing. So without a doubt, to close the week I present my favorite pieces from this line which is getting a lot of visibility!

I think August has us baffled here on the east coast. These are supposed to be the dog days of summer and this week I have sported cute scarves and have thought about some of my cuter long sleeve items as well. So once those come out, it's hard to deny that we need to think about fall and to make sure we have fun core pieces as we toggle back and forth in this transitional weather. These are great items that are perfect for work, running errands and for a night when you'll be out and about.
