Have you seen J Crew's November style guide?! I've been pouring over its pages and daydreaming about chic family escapes to the English countryside ever since its release. As if cozy coats and snugly sweaters aren't tempting enough (see my round-up of the collection here), J Crew is having a surprise (& super secret) sale. For the next 48 hours, take 25% off your purchase (of any amount) with code SECRET!

Still haven't figured out a Halloween costume? As if! I've been seeing plaid skirts everywhere lately and I'm getting major Clueless flashbacks (in the best way possible). To take your Halloween plans from C+ to A-, pile on the 90s accessories (hit up the thrift store for a retro flip phone) and don't forget your Cranberries CD in the quad!

Some days call for simple outfits and shopping days are definitely included! Since I'm attending Freutcamp this weekend (eek, the first day was SO fun!) a trip to the mall was in order for a few fun pieces. I picked up this cute sweater, a flippy skirt and the coolest shirt during J Crew's 25% off sale (thru October 30th). I can't wait to share all of the fun details from this weekend!
