I am back from my time with family down south and am finally back in a place with reliable WiFi! Here are some of my picks for the huge sale Piperlime is having right now.

Ok... so  if you haven't finished your Christmas shopping by now, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news BUT you may be SOL.  (Don't shoot the messenger) So I have shared with you guys all of my Christmas gift picks and I am now back to letting you guys know what I am drooling over for myself.  (Eventhough I am having not so pure thoughts about most of the items on my gift picks list... hint hint)

Had a night on the town that began with the American Ballet Theater's production of "The Nutcracker"

Picked up a few things on a quick shopping trip with a friend yesterday.  Here is what I picked up. 

It's a shame that the title of this post is longer than the post.  I have been super swamped with work and a class I had to take for work.  But that is all done and I am back to my regularly posting self.  Today I got an email from my favorite online jewelry store, Baublebar.  It reminded me of all the yummy trinkets I have on my wishlist on that site.  Here are two to drool over.   Enjoy!

Earlier in the year, during one of my marathon internet searches for something new, I came across some pieces of jewelry that I really fell in love with.  I have mentioned a few of the pieces in a couple of my youtube videos (one here) but I just wanted to highlight some of the pieces here.  The designs from By Boe are pretty much the opposite of what is on trend right now with everything now being about "statement" pieces.  The jewelry is very delicate but very downtown chic (which is interesting because the designer, Annika Inez, started working and selling the jewelry out of a shop on the Upper East Side of Manhattan)

My favorite pieces are the earrings and the necklaces but there are a few bracelets that I love as well.  Take a look.

All the cute summer dresses go on super duper sale at the end of the season.  I snatched up a few as I cannot resist a good discount.  I just pair them with a blazer and an opaque tight and SHADIZZLE! A fall ensemble.  Here's an example.

My second favorite store is having a sale!!!  Piperlime dresses are 20% off with code "DRESS"  I will pick up one of my dresses now!

So I have been struggling with what to get G (my sweet buttered biscuit :-) for Christmas.  Shopping for men has never been easy for me whether it be for my father, brother or significant other (UNINTENTIONAL RHYME!!!!) It is weird that my knack for finding a steal does not work when it comes to men's items.  So I have decided just to go with my gut.  I will search and search and whatever I see that my eye is drawn to, I will put in the running for his Christmas present.
