More Black Friday codes for you!

So my 14lb bird has just gone in the oven and I’m about to have a Bloody Mary to wipe out the slight mist from the prosecco last night. It’s essential to consume a bottle while making cranberry sauce, stuffing and prepping the brine for the bird!

Codes are pouring in my inbox as we speak. In fact last night I ordered these at 20% off with code SELFCCE – prosecco should come with a warning – do not drink and shop. They are HALF the price compared to buying them here and they are scheduled to arrive tomorrow!!

AllSaints have 30% off sitewide with code CYBER.

Zara begin 30% off sitewide this evening at 8pm EST.

Rag & Bone have 25% off sitewide with code BLACKFRIDAY25.

ASOS have 30% off sitewide with code THANKFUL30.

Hudson Jeans have 20% off everything with code HUDSGIVING – with an extra 10% off if you order before 12pm PST.

Sam Edelman CODE – 30% off site wide

Those codes are starting to appear! I’ve been checking these Sable boots out for months now on the Sam Edelman site and with the new code released today I can now get 30% off them and they are already reduced from $250 to $175 making them now just $132.30 with tax!

Use code SAMSGIVING at check out!

They are also available in the Net-A-Porter sale here at 50% discount in black.

My Black Friday List

1 Reply

I have a definitive list of items I want to buy on Friday. I’ve already made a couple of purchases from H&M as they have had some codes available since the weekend – but here is my list so far. I’ll of course publish a list of codes on Friday for you all!

So with H&M they have various deals each day this week but there is also a 20% off code with free shipping – 2806.

I can’t wait to try these imitation leather trousers – especially the navy pair.

There is definitely a theme here. These coated leggings in khaki are great and such a fabulous color. They are also available in black.

Moving on to COS – I am absolutely smitten with these drop crotch trousers. I am praying that they drop below the $125 price.

Another pair of drop crotch trousers – and to be fair it’s been a while since I’ve bought any harem trousers though my love for them runs deep. These sequin trousers could easily be worn year round with a t-shirt and denim jacket.

It’s been a while since I had a good trawl through ASOS and the other evening I was stopped in my tracks by this skirt. It’s beautiful, though I’m not sure how it will work on my thick waist. I’m willing to give it a go though if only because it’s camo!

These Pull & Bear velvet trousers are also in my cart waiting for Friday. Just perfect paired with sneakers and a graphic t-shirt.

Finally a little indulgence – definitely an investment. There are very few sizes left around the internet but Selfridges have the best price at the moment – here’s hoping they have Black Friday deals too. The Stella McCartney Elyse in rose gold. European brands are SO much cheaper in the UK stores than here in the US – compare $670 with $1,100!

So what’s on your list? High street brands? A designer splurge? Remember to check back later in the week once I have access to all the appropriate codes!

An unusual color ☄️for me but I really love this @hm sweater - their jumpers really are great! #thisis45 #pixiecut #nothingbutpixies #shorthair #liketkit #fbloggers #fbloggersuk #fblogger #ootd #wiwt #outfitpost #outfitinspo #instafashion #instastyle #40plusstyle #everydaystyle #over40fashion #mumontherun #dresslikeamum #ltkunder50 #ltkunder100 #ltkshoecrush #topshop #topshopstyle

Big knits

3 Replies

I love nothing more (OK, maybe boots) than a big chunky knit. Again it’s probably genetics – growing up in the North West of the UK and then 5 years in St. Andrews meant they were a required staple in the closet. You could NEVER have enough big cardigans or chunky sweaters. They aren’t needed quite so much in the balmy climate of Atlanta, but that doesn’t stop me investing in a 3-4 new ones each November. Needless to say I have way more chunky knits than a girl in Atlanta really needs. Is it going to stop me? Of course not! That vacation to the North Pole may happen one year, not to mention that Arctic plunge that seems to happen earlier each year, even if it does only last a week or so!

With the above images from Pinterest as inspiration here are some of my favorites available this season.

This oversized cardigan from ASOS is a great shape and price.

I love this neutral color block cardigan – it’s even blocked on the inside too – really different yet easy to wear.

This is a perfect slouchy cardigan – equally easy to wear slobbing on the sofa or out in the pub.

Absolutely love the length of this New Look ribbed cardigan.

H&M is always a favorite of mine for great knits at a great price. They do oversize very well too.

This is the dress I am wearing below – I’ve worn it all day and it is SO comfortable and soft. I have a medium so it is pretty generous. Love this light grey color but the darker version is fabulous too for wearing with opaque tights.

I just love this sweater. The green is my kind of green – in fact I got a mohair cardigan in this color last year which I must dig out.

This deep green is one of my favorite winter colors. Not in your face but definitely some color that can be worn easily with black or grey denim. The sweater is also available in 3 other colors – it’s a great winter staple.

This long sweater can probably be worn as a dress by some of you but I really love the idea of it over distressed denim skinnies.

I love grey and I love a polo neck, so yes I kinda like this one a lot. It’s also available in blue and black.

ribbed-turtleneck

I love the neckline on this sweater – a great price too at $34.99 and it is available in 4 colors.

& Other Stories is another great source of sweaters – H&M’s more grown up sibling. Slightly pricier but fabulous quality.

This red berry sweater is the one I am wearing below. It is also available in the grey shown. Use FRIENDS in the USA for a 10% discount on a new account. I have the medium – it is hugely oversized – the large drowned me. I can’t wait to wear mine with pleather skinnies.

I have this green cardigan too. I love the belt – it gives great shape – but it looks equally good unfastened. Perfect over a grey t-shirt with black skinny jeans.

This oversized, sparkle sweater is on my list. I love it – simple, but a little special.

Err this might me on my list too – I love the graduated sparkle.

I have this one – it’s shorter than others so I opted for a large. A great knit in a great pattern.

This cardigan is available in grey and 3 other colors which are sold out here online. The perfect length.

The shape of this wool blend cardigan is perfect – again great for both in the house and off out down the pub on a cold night!

My Husband is currently in London and has texted me numerous times complaining about the BITTER cold. I am SO jealous – I can’t wait to actually NEED to wear a big jumper – it’s still loitering in the low 60s here but I’m going for it nonetheless! And here just to prove I really can’t wait to get the big knits out, here are my outfits over the past 3 days!

Rodan + Fields Lash Boost

Leave a reply

This wonderful, innovative, overnight conditioning serum for eye lashes and brows was launched at our convention back in October. As a consultant I was able to get my hands on it early and after just 4 weeks I have seen such an improvement in my lashes – they look thicker and longer, with more volume. Optimum results are achieved by 8 weeks so I can’t wait to see them at the end of the month!

After just 4 weeks of using @rodanfields #lashboost I can already see a difference! My lashes are definitely longer and thicker looking! If you are in the US message me if you are interested in trying! We have a special holiday bundle too at the moment with a free eye cream and pouch! Best results are seen at 8 weeks! I can't wait!

We are currently offering a Holiday special Lash Boost gift set – buy Lash Boost and receive a free eye cream and pouch too, while supplies last. You might as well have great eyes if you’re going to have great lashes! If you are in the US you can order yours here or email me at joanna@poppys-style.com for information on how to receive a 10% discount. These bundles make fabulous gifts for the beauty product lover in your life! I’d love to find some premium lash care in my stocking!

Peep Toe Booties!

Leave a reply

As you know I’m quite partial to a pair of ankle boots. Given the warm temperatures here it is really hard to justify another pair (not to mention the fact I already have more pairs than a girl can wear in the deepest, longest winter!). Peep toe booties though, well they are quite another thing entirely. I happened to be in Nordstrom on Friday returning some items when lo and behold I noticed their shoe sale had started. They had a single pair of these left on the rack. The Sam Edelman Asher – reduced by 40% here.

I actually tried an 8 instead of my usual 8.5 and it fits great – possibly because they are peep toe. Don’t let the height scare you either – they are ridiculously comfortable.

They are also available in a beautiful wine color here.

And grey here.

These are stunning too and Amazon currently have 20% off for Veterans Day – these are very Emmanuelle Alt – I can see her wearing these with a pair of cropped kick flare jeans and a white shirt. The Sam Edelman Abbie boot.

So for all my wishing for colder weather there are some benefits to a warm Fall! Check out these images for inspiration.

Don’t forget in the UK the Carine Roitfeld collection launched last week – the jackets are stunning – especially the fur bomber jackets but they do fit small.

Our clocks change tonight and then its the big day here on Tuesday – we voted on Thursday to avoid the lines but its pretty tense here thats for sure!

I love winter weather – it’s in my genes. Unfortunately I am still waiting for it to arrive with gusto here – yesterday we were baking in 80 degree weather while trick or treating! Not to worry I am still preparing for a long winter with a couple of new purchases.

The Alexa collection for Marks & Spencer is now love and I couldn’t resist the Briggate trench. I think it will look super cool with skinnies and ankle boots with a graphic t-shirt. It’s now available here and I BET it sells out before the end of the week!

The Carine Roitfeld collection for Uniqlo is released in the UK on November 3rd at 10am. If you want anything I’d advise you to be quick with that too! Anything leopard print sold out here day 1 – including the bomber jacket and the above coat. I’ve stalked the coat here and it just came back in stock in a Small and Large – thank you!

I’m going to try and hold off now till the end of the year…ah hem…I know, I know…but we are off to Costa Rica for Christmas so not sure trenches and fur coats will be required then!

We had an amazing weekend celebrating Dave’s 50th – we had a lovely family dinner out on Saturday. It’s so nice now that the children are old enough to come with us. Poppy is just like me and loves getting dressed up for dinner out! I wore this fabulous dress that was 50% off in the & Other Stories sale – it’s one of those every occasion dresses that will be perfect for beach vacations too.

Yesterday was a rather tumultuous day. After campaigning for Hillary on Friday and receiving my yard sign I was very proud to display it. Someone stole it on Sunday – not only is it illegal but I felt violated that my property had been taken and that somebody had actually been to the trouble to walk into my yard and take it. After venting my frustration on our neighborhood website, in what I considered and non-partisan manner, I was then mocked, attacked and abused by online comments all day. I love democracy and would never attack another for their opposing views – this election is making me VERY sad though and the hate that it is proliferating is nothing but terrifying. Onwards and upwards. Wearing new boots helped.
