I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!  Did any of you get out and take advantage of Black Friday?  As I get older I just don't seem to have the energy to brave the crowds and craziness to take advantage of the Black Friday madness.

Cyber Monday is much more my style!  I'm a big fan of online shopping, and being able to enjoy deep discounts in the comfort of my own home is a much bigger thrill for me.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  This year with 3 new babies in my family (including our own beautiful baby girl), and with another one on the way  soon, we have so much to be thankful for!

Many of you probably already have your outfits and menus planned for tomorrow's holiday, but if you still need some inspiration for what to wear, here are a few simple and affordable ideas for your holiday.

Here is one easy outfit to enjoy the holiday at home with family...

_
These festive orange cords are a steal for only $9.99, and at $134 I think these brown leather boots from the Gap are also a great deal!  This cashmere sweater from J.Crew is definitely a splurge at $158, but it is much more affordable when you take advantage of their current promotion for 25% off all orders of $150 or more with the code YOURGIFT!

And for all you post-baby mommas like myself, here is what I'm planning on wearing tomorrow...this outfit is forgiving on my still shrinking waistline, and will be comfortable and easy for nursing!  And this is such a versatile outfit...you can dress it up or down with the accessories you choose depending on where you are going.  Not all of these items are inexpensive, but you can get 25% off all three of these items from J.Crew as mentioned above, and 30% off this clutch from Banana Republic with the code BRJUMP30.


What will you be wearing tomorrow?

Happy Thanksgiving!  And stay tuned for more holiday ideas next week!

 
 
Through the end of today the Gap is Offering 20-25% off all FIVE of their brands: Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Athleta, and PiperlimeJust use the word TREAT at checkout to take advantage of this great deal!

Although Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic frequently offer promotional price cuts, it is very rare to get a discount at both Athleta and Piperlime, so take advantage of it while you can! 

I'm particularly excited about the 25% off at Athleta!

Ever since having a baby my wardrobe has sadly turned into a rotation of which color yoga pants will I wear today...black or grey?!  And while I'm still a Lululemon fan, since Athleta opened up a store in NYC I have realized how much I love their line of products, and to me it's just as attractive and comfortable as Lulu's more pricey collection. 

One of my favorite recent purchases from Athleta is their Finesse Legging, $34...this legging has enough support to look great with a tunic or long sweater and boots for a day of shopping or lunch with friends, but they are comfortable enough to just hang around the house in all day!  (and for all the other postbaby moms out there...they are also very forgiving on your postnatal waistline!)

_
Here is an easy weekday look for the colder months ahead all with items from Athleta, that can take you from the gym to the store to coffee with friends, and with today's 25% off promotion it is a fraction of the price of other more popular activewear!

Do you plan on purchasing anything from this pre-holiday sale?
 
 
As my inbox was flooding with a few more emails than usual this afternoon, I started to realize that there are a ton of great friends and family sales starting today for the long weekend ahead!

As promised here is my Round 2 of Holiday Inspired Infant Looks for Less.

This time, let's here it for the boys!

This is a slightly different format from Tuesday's post for the girls.  Today I've posted 3 fun winter friendly looks for boys...all with pieces that I consider to be a good deal!

Set #1 is all items from Ralph Lauren that are currently on sale. 

I love Ralph Lauren's infant line but it tends to be on the pricey side, so when it goes on sale I try to take advantage!  Another tip on finding Ralph Lauren infantwear on sale is to check out your local TJ Maxx or Marshalls.  They often have lots of Ralph Lauren baby items discounted for at least 30% off or more!

Set #2 is for the more fashion forward baby! :) 

Denim and skull and crossbones slippers?!  Now that is making a statement for the holidays!

And if you don't splurge on the slippers, this whole outfit including the warm hat and mittens will only cost you $53!

And Set #3 is a centered around my favorite color navy, and includes a few key warm weather pieces from Old Navy and the Gap.  If you decide that you have to have any of these items from the Gap, you can get 30% of your entire purchase this weekend with the code: GAPFRIENDS!


Happy Shopping!   
 
 
Being that it is my first holiday season with our beautiful baby girl, I'm already starting to look into a few outfits for the holidays...it really is easy to go crazy when it comes to shopping for your child, and they grow out of their clothes so quickly!

Here are 5 Luxe for Less looks for baby girls that will not break the bank this holiday season, so you can save your money for you and your loved ones' wish lists instead!

Tomorrow I will follow up with some fresh looks for baby boys!
