Welcome to this week’s Friday Five post! This is the second week of this series where I share 5 things I’ve been thinking about, can’t stop thinking about or shopping for. {Check out last week’s post HERE}.

This week, I also included the Top 5 items/ things to consider for the Shopbop sale. If you are unaware, they have this sale where New Items are on sale for this week {ends Sunday, March 8th}. Items included tend to be new and will be full price next week. Depending on how much you spend, you can save between 15-25% off.

Make sure not to miss that selection at the bottom of this post.

Friday Five

1. UNDER $100 BLAZER – This is my Number #1 recommendation to get during the Shopbop sale.  This sale two years ago is where I decided to try this blazer and now it is easily one of the most worn items in my closet. Size up! I get a Medium. {check out my other top 5 of what to get from the sale, below.}
2. LEAVING THE KIDS – As I shared for weeks before we left, we left the kids last week to go skiing {my first time in 18 years!} for a friend’s 40th. I am a mom 100% of the time, and fit in work, when I can, during nap time and late at night. Therefore these trips, no matter how few and far inbettwen are always a little something to look forward to, yet I HATE leaving my kids. We always leave them in capable hands and never with a stranger {duh!}, I still constantly worry before, during and after. We always, ALWAYS leave a note signed by us both that our parents, or my in laws, have the capacity and our permission to make medical decisions regarding the kids in our absence.
3. RUFFLE BIKINI – I ordered this bikini months ago, once we booked a tropical vacation for May. It is currently on sale in a couple of colors, including navy and the polka dot high waisted bikini. Check out the one piece options, all on sale, here.
4. TATCHA – I really don’t know what I did before this lip mask. It is a cult favorite and I see why. I keep it on my bedside table and was very thankful for it after our recent mountain vacay.
5. SUPER TUESDAY – Are you following all this Democratic Nominee stuff??? We live for it in our house. It makes me nervous and excited as we move closer to a Presidential election. Regardless of how you feel about my political beliefs and the candidates in general, get out and VOTE. {for the zero people that asked, my most important topics are Human/LGBT/Women’s Rights, Global Climate Change and Gun Control, in no particular order.}

Top 5 Shopbop Sale Finds

These are items that I actually have, wear a ton and would recommend you to buy, even not on sale. All are classic pieces and can be worn multiple ways.

1 – BLAZER

As shared above, this is a timeless classic and a closet staple. I don’t have a workwear situation, but it would work for the office, out to drinks and everything inbetween. My go-to date night look is this blazer with a lace cami. I’ve worn it with shorts and over cashmere, it truly works for everything. On sale, you can get this for $66-$75, depending on how much you spend.

Size up, I get a Medium and have black, white, navy and a black and white tweed. I wear navy the most, but that is because it is my favorite color. I recommend black or navy, first!

2 – LOAFERS

I feel like I’ve told this story a million times, but I bought myself the Gucci loafers for a birthday a couple of years ago. Enter, this sale. I bought this loafer, to try them out and actually liked them better and promptly returned the Gucci to keep these. I have white and saddle. I ordered this dark brown “crocodile” loafer during this year’s sale.

3 – DENIM SHORTS

I am so selfconsious about my thighs, that that really might be the biggest shame about living in San Diego {and that fact that I prefer rainy, gloomy weather.} Either way, these really are the only shorts that I feel comfortable in and are the only pair of shorts you will ever find me in.

I wear them with a bikini to the pool, and with a blazer for a more pulled together summer look. They run true to size and are “on trend” with the distressing, but still don’t look sloppy with the color, fabric and cuffed hem.

4 – DESIGNER DENIM

Use this sale as a chance to get denim that you wouldn’t otherwise get! Last year, I feel in love with this brand and style. I got this style during the Nordstrom sale. Why jeans are $200+, I will never know, but I get compliments every single time I wear them.

5 – LUXURY ITEMS

Designer items/brands I love and have purchased in the past during this sale:

Anine Bing

Free People Dresses

Madewell

Salvatore Ferragamo

Solid and Striped 

Staud Bags

Sunglasses

all are under $80, pre discount
