Friday Favorites

1. Jennifer Lawrence's interview & thoughts on her nude photos being hacked.
2. Somewhat healthy (and easy) pumpkin spiced coffee - a must try this weekend! 
3. Luluemon warehouse sale!? I think this is a first. Some great markdowns on some of my favorite pieces (like this gorgeous sweater).
4. 3 simple steps to create your own personal brand.
5. For those of you feeling the quarter life crisis like I am, here are 10 career moves to make in your 20's. If that doesn't help, I'd try this book. It's one of my favorites. 
6. This coat & sweater combo are dreamy. The plaid pattern of the coat is too perfect!

A few more fun last minute things for further procrastination... 

• 5 inspiring quotes from Mark Zuckerberg.
• May be the cutest video I've ever seen... 
• Live in NYC and like really good deals on designer duds? You're welcome.

Friday Sales

It's that time of the year... the time that feels almost like Christmas morning... Friends & family sale week! Every fall and spring, most of the big retailers have their friends & family sales - all at the same time! I certainly will be taking advantage and grabbing some early Christmas gifts for friends and family this weekend/next week. Read on for a list of all the best sales and some of my favorite pieces! I'm sure there will be many more to come this weekend, so I'll try to keep you guys updated!

1. Joie - 25% off sitewide (code JOIEFRIENDS), including this to die for fur jacket and this sweater cape. I would buy the whole store if possible!

2. Equipment - 25% off sitewide (code EQFRIENDS). I'm loving their new Hadley pant in pretty much every color, and you just can't go wrong with their signature shirt.

3. Current Elliott - 25% off sitewide (code CEFRIENDS). I had always thought of CE as a jeans company, but they have a great outwear section definitely worth checking out!

4. Bloomingdales - 20% off sitewide (code FRIENDS). 

5. J.Crew - 25% off all full prices styles (code STYLETIME). Ohhh soo many good things at J.Crew as usual... The outwear for one - love this trench. I've had my eyes on it for a couple years now!

6. Vince - extra 40% off sale items (discount taken at checkout). Always good to jump on the Vince sales since they don't have them often...

7. Forward by Elyse Walker - big sale! Some major higher end designer picks here. I always want pretty much everything on this site, but my top pics include: the rag & bone booties you want to make sure you own this season & this DVF leather crop jacket.

8. Tory Burch - 25% off sitewide (code FRIENDLIEST). Uh I could order the whole site, but I'll stick to these over the knee boots (gorgeous!!!), and no time better than now to stock up on the staple reva flats!

More to come soon! I hope you all have a great weekend.
