Today I’ve got a little of this and that, all packed into one post. From velvet shoes and sparkly pieces to my most recent Nordstrom Dressing Room Review, Black Friday early deals – heck, I’ve evcn tossed in Oprah’s 23 Thanksgiving Table Ideas to browse. So pour yourself a second cup of coffee and take a look around, welcome to the weekend friends!

3. 1. STATE Crepe Blazer
Initially slated to feature the Veronica Beard velvet ‘Gaya’ jacket, I’m now giving this spot up to the 1. State Crepe blazer, after trying the ‘Gaya’ blazer on in person. Unfortunately, the quality and fit was just not what I’ve come to expect and love from Veronica Beard. That said, the 1. STATE blazer, first featured 2 weeks ago, in (THIS) blog post, has been a hot blog item. Luckily, I was able to try this blazer on, while returning the ‘Gaya’ blazer.
A fitted, one button crepe blazer with shirting stripe lining, grossgrain ribbon collar and pocket flaps, this blazer is beautifully constructed for the $129 price point. I did go up a FULL SIZE in this blazer from a 6 to an 8 as I couldn’t button the 6 and it was overall too tight.
For refrence, I wear a 4 or 6, but most always a 6 in blazers. Some reviews say not to size up. If you are petite or an hourglass shape, you may be ok with your regular size, but to me, this jacket runs small. If you are ordering online, I’d say order 2 sizes -Nordstrom offers free returns – to get your size right.
Black Friday Deals come early. For great deals on items like the Vince Camuto Center Seam Sweater (here) – note that review say this runs large – was $69, now $45.90 or the Cozy Slipper by Ugg (here), reg $100, now $69.90.

4. Sweaty Betty Black Friday Sale
Take 25% off everything sitewide, including the Liberate Luxe Fleece Hoodie, and the Revive Hoodie – both featured in my IG Stories last week – with code SBSAVE (here)

I like both of these hoodies for different reasons – note that both cover your bum. The Revive is a great price point at $98 + an extra 25% off, it’s made of the standard high quality Sweaty Betty loop cotton, the Liberate Luxe is just that – a more luxe – super soft cotton blend hoddie with pockets, available in 10 colors. I would pair either of thes with my Sweaty Betty 7/8 leggings. I would buy my regular size small in both hoodies.
NOTE: Nordstrom is offering 30% off both of these items for a limitted time (fewer colors) and free shipping. Liberate Hoodie (here). Revive Hoodie. now $68.90 (here). Shop all Sweaty Betty at Nordstrom (here).

5. Perfect Gold Bootie
Since August, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect gold bootie; not TOO shiny with an under 2 1/2″ heel height. And after 2 months of searching, I found my perfect pair over at Boden. The gold is now low on stock, but Boden just added (this) watermelon color. This bootie fits true to size and is the perfect heel height.
