Stretch out those fingers!

Balenciaga bags are up to 50% off at Beyond the Rack today. Beyond the Rack is a lesser known online sample sale site, and in my opinion, their sale selection isn’t nearly as stellar as Hautelook or Gilt Groupe.

However, every once in a while a can’t-miss sale like this will pop up.

Update: It looks like Chloe handbags will be up to 55% off at BtR tomorrow. Amazeballs.

Help, please

I need stuffing recipes!

I’ve haven’t specifically told you, but Jason and I are hosting 14 people this Thanksgiving holiday. It’s the first time I will have ever cooked a turkey, and I’ve got a 22-pounder in my fridge just waiting for me to do something to it.

In addition to the turkey, I’m providing the mashed potatoes (these I know) and stuffing (this I don’t know).  So I turn to you dear readers/friends/lovers… Do you have a no-fail, sure-to-please stuffing recipe?

Please leave a comment or e-mail it to me at jewetsch (at) gmail (dot) com.

My carb-loving heart thanks you.

On this Sunday, I'm enjoying

• Visiting with my Grandparents in town for Thanksgiving
• Sales. Specifically, cashmere sweaters that are half off and then another 25% off.
• Jason shaved his beard. How do you spell skin irritation? W-H-I-S-K-E-R-S.
• Cleaning my bathroom. I don’t normally enjoy this, but today it’s giving me a strange sense of accomplishment.
• Business ideas floating around my head.
• I finally bought our Thanksgiving turkey! It was hard finding a 22-pounder that can feed at least 14 people.
• It looks like it might rain tonight. Cozy.

What are you enjoying on your Sunday afternoon/evening?

Dude, that’s propaganda. If I’m ever going to be in politics one day, I can’t have that floating around.

Jason, on an exceptionally creepy picture snapped of him. For the past few weeks, he’s been growing a beard and decided to shave it off this morning, but not without going through a few variations of moustache/beard combos. Let’s just say the one that the iteration that sparked this comment is a face that should have young children running in fear.

(edit: for the record, Jason has no plans of being in politics which is why his comment was especially humorous)

New Moon Premiere!

I’m off to meet some of my girlfriends for dinner followed by New Moon. So excited. My outfit was completely inspired by Twilight.

The Way I Wore:

Sparkly shirt that looks like Edward’s skin in sunlight: Forever 21

Furry vest that looks like Jacob’s skin (sometimes): The Limited

Leggings: Romeo & Juliet Couture

Motorcycle boots that remind me of when Bella gets a little reckless on the motorcycle in the hopes of hearing Edward’s voice: Lucky

Red Lips like blood vampires want to suck: Smashbox Starlit gloss

And here’s my best attack vampire pose:

Listen up, Trillas.

I’m about to tell you where to buy every single one of your holiday gifts for the women in your life and perhaps even snag a goodie for yourself. You’ll not only save some money but you’ll be everyone’s favorite gift-giver this season.  Vivre alerted me to an AMAZING sale they are having right now.  The details are too good not to share.

So, here we go:

For your younger sister that just graduated college: a sophisticated versatile blouse from Ports 1961, was $325 now $81.25. This is also a good gift for a sophisticated, versatile older sister.

For your mom that already has everything: Gerard Yosca vintage glass cabochon cuff, was $280 now $112

For your BFF - Michael Kors croc embossed belt, was $395 now $98.75

For your “on-the-verge-of-becoming-a-hipster” tween cousin: Sequin Joe Sneaker by Emma Hope, was $495 now $98.75

For your crazy aunt that can’t keep track of anything: Anya Hindmarch work pouch, was $135 now $33.75. For that price, might as well get her the “home” one, too. (The work version would also be good for your favorite boss, if your office is into that sort of thing.)

For your grandmother who loves a good piece of jewelry (no costume stuff for her!): Hammered Nordic Pendant Necklace, was $795, now $397.50. This is a good one to go in on with the other grandchildren, and it’s even better if your grandma is Nordic!

And for you! All that thoughtfulness is hard work. Treat yourself to a pretty bauble: Kara Ross two petal flower ring, was $215 now $86.

Check out the entire, ridiculous sale here.

(Sidenote: Vivre has not in any way paid me to write this post. I just thought the deals were too amazing not to share with you lovers! And truthfully, no one ever pays me to write anything, but if they did, I’d tell you.)
