The Week Of Family, Cooking, and Shopping
This week is definitely the week of family, cooking, and shopping. It is such a special time of year, but it can also be crazy busy. We are praying over all of us that we cling to calmness and not let the crazy-busy make us crazy! It is easy to get caught up in all of the pressure of hosting perfectly, cooking perfectly, decorating perfectly, shopping perfectly and everything else. However, rejoice, because we can say goodbye to all of the false perfect goals because they just aren't true. What is true is that this week is full of fun opportunities to be with loved ones, cook and eat delicious meals together, and do some gift shopping. Above all else though, we are called to give thanks abundantly this week. So, instead of getting caught up in the crazy, let's exist in the crazy (and even enjoy it) while standing firm in thankfulness with a gracious heart and a spirit of calmness, love, and joy. With that being said, we are of course going to list out a few sales that we are looking forward to (the ones that we know of so far!) + recipes that are on our want-to-cook list this week and weekend. Scroll down for more, xo.

daily vice app: sale-shopper's heaven
I'm so excited to introduce ya'll to an amazing app I've recently discovered called Daily Vice. Obviously being a fashion blogger, I practically shop for a living, but I am absolutely still a bargain-hunter at heart, which is why I'm obsessed with this app.Every day at 12pm PT / 2pm CST they announce a new daily deal on the hottest fashion trends. Each deal only lasts 24 hours, so you have to act fast! I am so excited to share with ya'll today that I've teamed up with Daily Vice to sell this ring set that I fell in love with at an amazingly discounted price!
Total, these 3 rings retail for $186, but today (for 24hrs only) you can get this set (all 3 rings!) for $65 on the Daily Vice App (click that link to download the app). AND you can use the code "LOLOmag" (case sensitive) to get an additional 25% off, so all 3 rings would only be $48.75, and they are amazing quality!I've been obsessed with gold rings recently, especially ones like this that you can stack and get creative with, yet still incorporate it into a casual, everyday outfit. (I wore mine here with this sunflower top and cut-off denim shorts)I hope you love this ring set as much as I do! Try out the app, and let me know your thoughts! xx

10 dresses < $100
When you think of Thanksgiving, "new dress" might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But a lot of us go to Thanksgiving dinners, or "friendsgivings" that solicit/justify a new dress. Not just any new dress, but one we feel great in, yet can still be comfortable. Relaxation meets sophistication. Lo rounded up 10 great dresses for Thanksgiving for ya'll that are all less than $100!

Goodbye summer || Hello sales!
Summer might be coming to a close, but the sales are just getting started! Labor day weekend is one of my favorite times to stock up on some of those great dresses or cut offs you've had your eye on all summer, but couldn't justify paying full price.[show_ms_widget id="4715012" image_id="4883216" width="960" height="1280"][hover over the image to shop the products!]It was love at first sight between this floral maxi dress and myself. I saw it at LOFT recently and thought it would make the perfect dress to wear to brunch, a summer wedding, or a date night. Good things come to those who wait, because today I bought the dress for less than $40! The Kendra Scott earrings were a crazy steal as well thanks to the amazing sale Last Call is having.Here is just a short list of the Labor Day sales I'm most excited about!

SHOPBOP Sale | Our Top 5 picks
The smell of fresh brewed coffee, pancakes, an email announcing a SHOPBOP "drop everything" sale -- a few of my favorite ways to be woken up! Amazing deals + free shipping + free returns make this sale pretty hard to resist. Check out our top 5 picks from this sale![show_ms_widget id="4629720" image_id="4796140" width="665" height="863"]All of these items are great "buy now, wear now" pieces. At least for us Texans, the summer weather will last well into late September. These pieces are great staples that will get you through this last stretch of summer but transition great into the fall weather as well!1. This classic jean jacket is a staple for any wardrobe - throw it over any maxi dress, or pair it with skinnies & a loose tank and you're set. This is an item you can wear during any season, and at 50% off, now is the time to invest in a good one!2. Confession: maxi dresses are my weakness in life. You can never have too many. I'm obsessed with this Flynn Skye maxi dress. The bali print is so on point with tribal print trend for Fall, and the cutouts give the dress such a fun and feminine flare! {Also comes in this great Cayenne color}. Throw the above denim jacket over your maxi and wear it into the fall months as you head to Starbucks for your pumpkin spice latte.3. A good sweatshirt - yet another item you can never have too many of. I love this super soft cropped sweatshirt - great for lounging around the house, or pair it with a high waisted maxi skirt and you're set for your next lunch date.4. Suede booties - they were a huge hit last fall and we'll only be seeing more of them this coming season! These fringe booties by Sam Edelman are amazing - their low heel make them perfect for walking around town and they'd be great paired with a tribal print maxi dress or our next item on the list - boyfriend jeans!5. Lo is particularly fond of these Pajama jeans by Rag & Bone {see her previous post about them here!}. Another great piece that you can wear through any season, and also the perfect pant for traveling!Hope you enjoy this sale as much as we have! Go get your faves from Shopbop before the sale ends.xx, Lauren[show_shopthepost_widget id="234924"]
