Ladies, it is leggings season! If you want to steer clear of tights that have little-to-no stretch AND barely keep your feet warm, then you will love Bootights. These unique tights that I was gifted for review have a sheer black look, but the part that covers your foot is a supportive sock. This is truly brilliant for the cold weather when you still want to wear dresses and skirts.

Oh, Target. You know me too well. A sequin Noel pillow; a houndstooth table runner; a monogram mug; Pottery Barn lookalike Christmas tree decorations. It's what budget-chic holiday dreams are made of. Did I buy any holiday decorations? No, but that's because my LO fusses every time I put him in his car seat, which also serves as his stroller seat. So I had to whisk him around the store quickly while making soothing car sounds ("Vroom! Vroom!" says the crazy lady.) He became suddenly quiet in the mirror aisle - apparently it's like an enchanted hall of mirrors for babies - so I carried one around with me for the duration of our visit to keep him happy. Next time I'll bring my Ergo. I ended up buying another Threshold mini mirror trio in the starburst pattern (already have the Moroccan trellis set in my half bath). I also bought a few cute things from the dollar bins in preparation for my sister's baby shower - yes, she's expecting her first and I couldn't be happier!

Just about a month ago I found out about The Real Real, a flash-sale website that operates just like the others we’ve come to know and love. What makes The Real Real special is its insane prices on insane designer pieces...I can’t emphasize enough how crazy the discounts are!
