Love of Red, White & Blue

Regardless of the<i> </i>patriotic semblance, I'm a big fan of combining red, white and blue. It's such a fresh and classic combination. But I especially love wearing it around American holidays to show my pride and love for our country. I wore this outfit earlier this week, and felt a bit like a Ralph Lauren ad...minus the whole leggy model thing. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Hi Sugarplum | Red white & blue fashion" height="550" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3836/14558871025_6b83bdd775_z.jpg" width="550" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1i1AuS5" target="_blank">Striped Skirt</a> <i>(similar <a href="http://bit.ly/1oorVFA" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/TP3rKL" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/1sXtL5n" target="_blank">here</a>) </i>| <a href="http://popsu.gr/ueos" target="_blank">Chambray Shirt</a> <i>(similar <a href="http://bit.ly/1z7SHrq" target="_blank">here</a> & <a href="http://bit.ly/1iVRNcX" target="_blank">here</a>)</i> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Wedge Sandals <i>(<a href="http://bit.ly/TbeLRk" target="_blank">similar</a>)</i> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1o8Tb9y" target="_blank">Necklace</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1mKoQxe" target="_blank">Watch</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1kqMd0s" target="_blank">Earrings</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1kOMWbS" target="_blank">Mirrored Sunglasses</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>We're headed to the lake to enjoy the extra day off, and I likely won't change out of my swimsuit the entire time.

Introducing: thredUP!

Several years ago, I'd sell our out-grown clothes online, but it was always such a whip to photograph each item, upload the image, write a description, and field emails and questions. Not to mention pack it up once sold, and ship to all the different people! Every now and then, I still try to shop gently-worn items online, too, but it's hard to trust that the seller is being completely honest about the condition of the piece. Hauling bags to the consignment store and sifting through racks isn't much fun, either.<br /><br />Well, the geniuses at <a href="http://bit.ly/1hUYJ4p" target="_blank">thredUP</a>, based in San Francisco, have solved all those issues, and simplified the buying and selling process for us! <a href="http://bit.ly/1hUYJ4p" target="_blank">thredUP</a> is the easiest way to save money on great name-brand Women's and Kids' clothing, and sell clothes for cash. They are like a consignment store, but simpler...and from the comfort of your laptop!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | thredUP" height="562" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3719/13384836903_384370872b_z.jpg" width="550" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>{HOW IT WORKS}  </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Browse thousands of like-new, brand-name clothing items, which they've hand-selected and certified for quality. You'll find all your favorite brands discounted up to 90% off, year-round. They are so picky about what's listed, that they reject over 50% of the items submitted for sale. Each item clearly shows multiple images, brand name, retail price, and description. They also give you an honest and accurate condition of the item, so no more worrying about sellers exaggerating the condition.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | thredUP" height="436" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7377/13384838513_8716dd403f_z.jpg" width="550" /></div><br />I rounded-up some of my favorite items to show you....things sell quickly, but these were all available as of yesterday....except for one or two, which I might have already scooped up.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | thredUP" height="806" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3771/13385052144_7f71c94f30_b.jpg" width="550" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />1 | <a href="http://bit.ly/1fULH4o" target="_blank">Calvin Klein Cocktail Dress</a> $38</div><div style="text-align: center;">2 | <a href="http://bit.ly/1dHgnGs" target="_blank">BCBG Max Azria Silk Top</a> $23</div><div style="text-align: center;">3 | <a href="http://bit.ly/1jwop8u" target="_blank">J.Crew Skirt</a> $12</div><div style="text-align: center;">4 | <a href="http://bit.ly/1diRZzP" target="_blank">7 for all Mankind Jeans</a> $38</div><div style="text-align: center;">5 | <a href="http://bit.ly/1hUKOLx" target="_blank">Calvin Klein Dress</a> $27</div><div style="text-align: center;">6 | <a href="http://bit.ly/1diU8vE" target="_blank">Ralph Lauren Silk Top</a> $30</div><div style="text-align: center;">7 | <a href="http://bit.ly/1diQIch" target="_blank">J.Crew Silk Dress</a> $50</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Yep, they really sell those brands at those prices!

{Spring 2014} Nate Berkus for Target

I was in Target last week, dropping my usual $100 on toothpaste and Dollar Spot items, when I spotted a sparse little end cap of Nate Berkus's new Spring 2014 line. I don't know about your Targets, but mine get picked over really quickly when these new goodies come out. So I came straight home and checked it all out online. Like all his past collections, this new one is perfection.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/50491685@N04/12890094593/" title="Hi Sugarplum | Nate Berkus for Target Spring 2014 by hi sugarplum!, on Flickr"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | Nate Berkus for Target Spring 2014" height="786" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3781/12890094593_4646f723e6_o.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">1. <a href="http://bit.ly/1eItaML" target="_blank">Triangle Woven Pillows</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. <a href="http://bit.ly/1jKRBKa" target="_blank">Gold Mirror Mosaic Tray</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">3. <a href="http://bit.ly/1fTWFem" target="_blank">Geometric Dessert Plates</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">4. <a href="http://bit.ly/MGM1w2" target="_blank">Earthenware Vases</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">5. <a href="http://bit.ly/1hDsPuv" target="_blank">Mint Shower Curtain</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">6. <a href="http://bit.ly/1pQVhO5" target="_blank">Camel/Purple Chevron Rug</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">7. <a href="http://bit.ly/1jKRPRk" target="_blank">Gold Geometric Lamp</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/1jKTOoP" target="_blank">Gold-lined Shade</a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/50491685@N04/12890435344/" title="Hi Sugarplum | Nate Berkus for Target Spring 2014 by hi sugarplum!, on Flickr"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | Nate Berkus for Target Spring 2014" height="786" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2846/12890435344_7a04113c14_o.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">8. <a href="http://bit.ly/1pR106l" target="_blank">Wood & Metal Vase</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">9. <a href="http://bit.ly/1pQTNmN" target="_blank">Tortoise Frame</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">10. <a href="http://bit.ly/1pQX6dO" target="_blank">Glass Bookends</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">11. <a href="http://bit.ly/MGLuKA" target="_blank">Earthenware Crater Tray</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">12. <a href="http://bit.ly/1jKR8aH" target="_blank">Bleached Indigo Pillow</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">13. <a href="http://bit.ly/1pQVUHm" target="_blank">Seagrass Basket</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">14. <a href="http://bit.ly/1eInB0R" target="_blank">Arrowhead Towel Sets</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">15. <a href="http://bit.ly/1pR1hGF" target="_blank">Geometric Wall Art</a></div><br /><br />The pieces are so classic and timeless, yet still have that extra something-something that really stands out in a room.

Dreamy MLK Sales

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey, hey, hey! How was everyone's weekend? We kept things low-key, and loved every second of it. But someone forgot to give my boss the memo about today being a holiday, so back to work for me. How about you? Well, I figured if I'm going to be computer-bound, I might as well take advantage of some sweet online sales. The stores are already rolling out Spring, so this is the best time to add Winter clothes to your wardrobe.</span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="298" src="http://thechloeconspiracy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/mlkweek.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="600" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thechloeconspiracy.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">via</span></a></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><br /><br />Code FUNSALE gets you an additional 40% off all sale items at <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jcrew.com%2Findex.jsp&pid=uid7924-1475882-20&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">J.Crew.</a> <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | MLK Sales" height="242" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2884/12002374514_4ae71a351e_z.jpg" width="550" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=437608457&pid=uid7924-1475882-20&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">checkered shirt</a> | <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=439814079&pid=uid7924-1475882-20&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">gold stripe dress</a> | <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=440652225&pid=uid7924-1475882-20&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">colorblock crewneck</a></div><br /><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1h6fI6H" target="_blank">Loft</a> has the whole store on sale...40% off full-price styles with code GET40, and an extra 60% off sale!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1h6fI6H" target="_blank" title="Hi Sugarplum | Loft sale by hi sugarplum!, on Flickr"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | Loft sale" height="303" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2891/12002355893_9ba59d491e_z.jpg" width="550" /></a> </div><br />How cute is <a href="http://bit.ly/1eXKtGI" target="_blank">this embellished top</a>?!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hi Sugarplum | MLK Sales" height="554" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5508/12002374334_3c36debdf0_z.jpg" width="550" /></div><br /><br />How about 50% off your entire order...sale and full-price...at <a href="http://bit.ly/1dwdj1F" target="_blank">Ann Taylor</a> with code WINTER50!

Attention Procrastinators, It's Not Too Late!

Hey, hey! I hope you guys are having a great Saturday! I don't usually post on weekends, but I was online this morning looking for a few (ahem) final gifts, and noticed that today is the last day to order from <a href="http://bit.ly/W7fZdv" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a> with <i>Free Shipping</i>, guaranteed to arrive by Christmas! Shopping from home in my pajamas sounds a lot better than battling the malls.<br /><br />So hop over to <a href="http://bit.ly/W7fZdv" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a> by 11pm EST today, and knock out the rest of your list! They even have a few things you can order as late as December 23 that will arrive in time.

<div style="text-align: center;">There's no question <a href="http://bit.ly/18BJRo2" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a> is one of my favorite stores...between their great sales and free shipping/returns...I find myself drawn to their store more than others.

Nothing Black About This Friday!

Hey there friends, and happy Black Friday! That sounds so ominous, doesn't it? I hope your bellies are full of pie, and your hearts full of love after a day spent with family. I was about to burst with all the gratitude I was feeling yesterday, but I won't lie, I'm ready for a little quiet time today! And that doesn't include hitting the stores with all the millions of scavengers. For me, nothing is better than uninterrupted time with my coffee, computer and credit card!<br /><br />You've seen these outfits before, but now virtually <i>every piece is on sale</i>! Stay calm and take deep breaths, you don't want your clicking-finger to lock up on you. But I mean really, <a href="http://bit.ly/18LYdnN" target="_blank">these leather boots</a> are now less than $100! I've had mine for 2 years now, and they are still going strong. I think that averages to about a nickel per wear. #embellisher I've wanted <a href="http://bit.ly/IjUUKr" target="_blank">this tote</a> for a year...hey Santa, it's on sale now. <br /><br /><div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 550px;"><div style="position: relative;"><img alt="Colorful Fall" border="0" height="550" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/DkfDr80KmtztLjF3r5gJGg/cid/101630507/id/DvG3mxw94xGXDVjDFIJoxg/size/c550x550.jpg" title="Colorful Fall" width="550" /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1c1YuSP" target="_blank">jeans</a> | <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=402041870&pid=uid7924-1475882-20&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">shirt</a> | <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffactory.jcrew.com%2Fwomens-clothing%2Fsweaters%2Fmerino%2FPRDOVR%7E02103%2F02103.jsp&pid=uid7924-1475882-20&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">sweater</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/17gQhKA" target="_blank">scarf</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1eOGw82" target="_blank">boots</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/IjUUKr" target="_blank">bag</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1gKPeZh" target="_blank">aviators</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/17gPjOi" target="_blank">watch</a></div><br /><br />I'm not going to list each store's sales...because literally, every store is having a monster sale.
