Case of the Cyber Mondays

Hope everyone got their grub on for Thanksgiving, and also, their shop on for Black Friday. As promised, I did head out at midnight for some sales, and boy, did it pay off. My husband and I scored a 40" TV on the cheap, and even managed to save on some killer clothing sales. 

But the best is yet to come!

I've got my credit card ready, finger on the trigger, and eye on the prize as I scope out these Cyber Monday steals from some of my favorite sites... all of which are hosting sales!

Let's start with a holiday-party themed outfit board filled with every item featured on sale for Cyber Monday!


Cyber Monday Steals





Kate Spade, Jeffrey Campbell, Vanessa Mooney - oh my! I figure it's not too shabby a look for a holiday party. Even though the dress, from Modcloth.com, is red, it's still a great summer buy. And the Kate Spade Ruby Street Little Kennedy Bag is something I've had my eye on for a while now...

A Little Birdie Told Me...

...abstract anything is just cool. And when I can incorporate something that makes the ordinary a little more fun, sign me up. The word "sweater" conjures up stuffy, unstylish apparel, and people shivering. Out of necessity, I wear them, the majority of which are solids.

Outfit Details:
Green Blazer - Forever 21 / Blush Pink Bird Sweater - Forever 21 / Black Stretch Knit Riding Pants - Zara / Black Ankle Booties - Forever 21 / Studded Satchel - Primark / Spiked Leather Bow Bracelet - Miss Selfridge / Vintage Silver Watch - my own / Round Frame Sunnies - Urban Outfitters


But this knit bird sweater adds some much needed artsy-fartsy-ness to my apparel. I'm no stranger to black pants, so tops that I can get function (work) and fashion (all day, every day) out of make their way into my closet.

Oh, and it's random movie reference time, people! Forrest Gump has two things in common with me and this sweater.

1. It's my husband's favorite movie.
2. Forrest's main squeeze was Jenny, and holy coincidence... that's my name!

"Dear God, Make me a bird so I can fly far. Far far away from here."

In this case, fly right into Black Friday. Yes, I am that idiot person who braves the elements all in the name of saving a buck. Last year, I was done shopping by 10 a.m. on Black Friday.

Plan on staying home? Be sure to check out House Of Jeffers on Friday for my favorite Black Friday picks and special coupon codes!

Mani Monday: Metallic Striped Mani

Metallics are becoming my favorite nail polish. I'm turning to gold, silver and any type of metallic nail polish because nail art really pops against these lustrous colors. So, it only made sense that for today's Mani Monday post, I featured a combo of these colors!

This week's Mani Monday is crazy easy to replicate. All you need is your favorite metallic polish, pair it with a complimentary color, and then use another color for your free-hand snail art.

I decided to feature my favorite, and quickest nail fix, stripes, in this nearly effortless mani. 



And while I love glitter polish, it is quite the bitch to remove. A helpful hint I use is to warm up my nail polish remover bottle by rolling it between my hands. Sounds a little stupid, but trust me, room temperature remover works better than one that's sitting in a cold cabinet.
