One thing that's got me smiling is sample sale sites and the fact that I'm a member of not one, but four (or five) sites!
They are Swirl by Daily Candy, Beyond the Rack, Gilt Groupe, RueLaLa and possibly more!
If you're interested in an invite, let me know and I'll send one your way!
Now, what really has me smiling about these sample sale sites are the prices! Incredible, affordable and fun are definitely words to describe it.
Here are a few of my favorite picks from a late night run through Beyond the Rack:
These pieces are from the Lori Leavitt collection:
This next piece is from the Jonano apparel collection. I love floaty jersey dresses, but I think I speak for everyone when I ask, "Are the shoes on sale too?"
Food can usually make me smile, especially when the food is delicious, smells wonderful, wearable and/or is cute!
Receiving my copy of, and currently reading,
Norah Loft's The Concubine
makes me smile.
Actually, anything about the Tudor dynasty period makes me smile.
Including
The Concubine's cover art:
The Meeting of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn at Hampton Court by Daniel Maclise.
The look Leon shot me this morning when my stomach was grumbling. I was sitting on the couch next to him, clearing up email, when the stomach set off it's morning-alarm-clock-of-hunger. He picked his head up and looked me straight in the eye with a look that said, "Go eat already! Noise is bothering my nap."
And so I did.
