I thought I'd hold off on posting until Monday, but since it's almost Black Friday, I had to give you some shopping info.First off, Preppy Player directed my attention to this J. Crew Long Boyfriend Blazer and the minute I saw it, I loved it. At $215 I thought I'd wait until Christmas and get it as a gift. (Although J. Crew is having a 20% off sale this weekend, so you can get it for $175.)
But then, I saw this...
...at Ann Taylor Loft. The Bi-Stretch wool blazer for $128. This blazer is almost IDENTICAL to the J. Crew one. The only difference I saw was the thin belt that came with it, which I hated, so I threw it away. The day I bought this Loft was having a 30% off sale, so I snagged this baby for less than $90. (Sorry the picture is so small, it's all I could get.)
Next up, jewelry. I have been eyeing up this Anthroplogie Stormy Sea necklace for quite some time. My friend Jenny has it in the Sea Foam version. (No longer available) and I love the way it looks on her.
Then I saw NieNie wearing it on The Today Show and I had to have it. I went into Anthropologie and tried on the latest version in this cream color. Bummer. It looked stupid on me. Some people remove a couple of stones from the ends and they say that can make a difference. You might try that.

What I did find was
this necklace. The Anthroplogie Radiant Necklace. It comes in this gorgeous berry color, and an awesome pale slate blue.It was so hard to decide, but since I could only get one, I went with the slate. It was on sale for $28, on-line it's still $48, so I guess I got lucky!!
I might go back for the berry in a few weeks.
So there you have it. If you are out and about this shopping weekend, take a trip to Ann Taylor Loft, J. Crew and Anthropologie. Compare and contrast these items, and then let me know how it all turned out for you.
In return, I hope you will let me in on any of your latest fashion finds.
We fashionistas need to look out for eachother! (Yeah, that's right, I called myself a fashionista...you got a problem with that?)

Looks like you've found some great deals! :)
Cute shopping finds!
Love the savings...the Loft blazer and Anthro necklace together were still cheaper than J. Crew coat. You saved so much go get the other necklace too!
Ok, I love this blazer.... Ann Taylor Loft is kind of J Crew-ish this year, isn't it! I want to see a pic of you in it!!!!
Did you get the Claire? That one was my favorite too....
Love the necklace! Have a happy thanksgiving!
You missed a great West Chester tweet up last night.
Also, are you able to help me with a Thanksgiving miracle?
I just found the solution to the holiday shopping season!
Has anyone ever hear of Foosh mints?
Apparently they're more powerful than a cup of coffee AND they're giving them away for FREE!
I just signed up for their free trial program at https://www.fooshenergytrial.com/freeoffer/
Turns out they come in chocolate as well (so, I ordered some of them too; someone needs to take my credit card away).
They should be here in a couple of days. I'll report back and let you know how they work.
Love the blog jill.
Thanks for the heads up! I think my daughter would love it and I love the price.
