    Things I Love – #17

    If it’s time to refresh your wardrobe for Winter, check out some of these great deals I found online. (Click on photos below for more information.)

    Zara Oversized Knit Sweatshirt
    Zara Wide Leg Knit Pants

    These Zara pieces are cute and cozy for lounging or working from home. There’s just enough wool in these pieces to keep you warm without being itchy. I’m allergic to wool and have no problem wearing these.

    H&M Long Hoodie
    H&M Joggers

    These H&M pieces are another cozy lounge set. These pieces are lighter than the set above from Zara.

    H&M Oversized Hoodie

    This H&M hoodie is longer and works great with leggings or skinny jeans. I’ve found that H&M has great sweatshirts for men and women, but the trick is to check in often. One of my favorite H&M gray sweatshirts with a stripe down the arm sold out really fast.

    H&M Turtleneck Dress

    I love this dress. I have a few very expensive cashmere sweater dresses that I hardly wear because they’re too warm and I save them for nice events. This is a great everyday sweater dress. It’s a little longer but has slits on both sides. This fall I wore it with a pair of slip-on sneakers, but I will definitely wear it with black tights and ankle boots this winter. UPDATE: The H&M Turtleneck dress above sold out in gray, it is still available in beige melange. Click here and here for more turtleneck dress options.

    H&M Plaid Shirt Dress

    This is another really cute dress that I have received compliments on. I’ve worn it with a white tank top underneath and Vans mules. Again, I’ll probably wear black tights, Moto boots and a long sleeve t-shirt underneath as it gets colder.

    Madewell Ribbed Crewneck

    Madewell makes great t-shirts for layering. If you aren’t familiar with Madewell denim, check out their Roadtripper Jeans. These are the only jeans I would wear while traveling.

    Modern Citizen Keira Ribbed Knit Skirt

    This is more expensive than the items above, but I always like to have a good quality, long knit skirt to wear with chunky sweaters and boots. This model is tall, so the skirt hits closer to the top of the boot on me.

    Nordstrom Sale

    Even if you don’t typically shop at Nordstrom, this sale is worth checking out. Shipping is always free with Nordstrom and I love that you can create a wish list so on the first day of the sale, you can quickly pop items into your cart and check out before items are sold out. Nordstrom has a lot of exclusive packaged sets during the sale which are great for gifts or to try a new item in a line you already like. Below are a few of my favorite things from the sale and a few of these have already been featured on a Things I Love list. (Click on the photos below or any blue words for more information.)

    Nest Grapefruit Candles
    Nest Votive Trio

    Nest Candles – you can never go wrong buying candles. Buy scents you like and keep them in the box until you use them. Candles make a great emergency hostess or birthday gift. I listed Nest candles in Things I Love – #8 and Things I Love – #2.

    Voluspa 5 Mini Tin Candles
    Voluspa 3 Mini Tin Candles

    Voluspa candles – I really love these metal tins for when I travel.

    Ugg Whistler Throw Blanket

    Throws / blankets – Cooler days will be here before you know it, so it’s a great time to stock up on new cozy blankets and throws.

    Nécessaire Eucalyptus Body Wash and Lotion

    Nécessaire – This body wash was on my Things I Love – #14. I love the eucalyptus scent and this is a great way to try the lotion.

    Ouai Hair Oil & Leave-In Conditioner

    Ouai Leave-in conditioner – This leave-in conditioner was on my Things I Love – #9. I use this every time I wash my hair and my daughter used it as a detangler for her long hair when she visited. I imagine the hair oil would be great in the winter or for hair damaged by sun or color.

    L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil and Refill Pouch

    L’Occitane Shower Oil – This was on my Things I Love List – #3. I love this body wash. It has a runny oil texture right out of the bottle. Put some in your hands, add a little water and rub together to make a luxurious, moisturizing foam.

    La Canadienne Meadow Waterproof Bootie
    La Canadienne Sara Waterproof Chelsea Boot

    Booties – If you’re planning to invest in a high quality pair of leather booties this year, check out the ones on sale. Granted paying $300 for a pair of booties is a lot, but I own booties from LaCanadienne and I can tell you they are super comfortable and they last for years.

    Patagonia Nano Puff Water Repellent Puffer Jacket

    Patagonia – there are several winter coats included in the sale. The Nano jackets are great because they take up a very small amount of space when you travel.

    Nordstrom Colorblock Funnel Neck Cashmere Sweater

    Cashmere Sweaters – click on sweaters and then refine your search by clicking “material” then check “100% cashmere” and “cashmere blend” to quickly see all the cashmere sweaters included in the sale.

    Coach
    Ted Baker

    Handbags – There are many cute handbags included in the sale. These are two of my favorites.
