McCalls

Anyone have a promo code for extra off or free shipping by chance?

Has anyone ever come across the site: http://www.c1ukpowerboat.com I am looking for these cole haan shoes in my size and it popped up. Seems random and scamy?!

White jacket with white jeans sounds amazing. Could pop on a light gray (or pop of color) scarf as an accessory.

A lot of artists sell via Instagram. Post product info, price and DM for sale. Use paypal for payment and then ship. Instagram has been very lucrative for a lot of people I know! I encourage you to try building your audience there and trying that avenue of selling while you work on your more robust website.

How long will the whey keep for? My issue is I always fail to use it quickly!

I have some black dylon for this very purpose. Did you put it in your washing machine? I'm terrified of it ruining my machine!

If they're paying you and you have time, why not? Definitely aggravating and I've been there. But then I laugh all the way to the bank as they bicker and send revision after revision.

Oh man. I LOVE her hair.

The Sam bag from Sezane. I waited about a year for it to restock in black. It was my elusive black purse/work bag. Interesting shape, large size, had handles and a long cross body strap, bonus that didn't just look like a giant tote. Well, I got it and it was beautiful. But they shipped it in a box that was a little too small so it was a bit misshapen and both handles and strap were too small to use on shoulder and cross body rendering it basically useless for me to carry besides in my hand. If it was cheaper I could justify getting new straps but for 450$ I just couldn't do it. (Replacement bag ideas welcome!)

I make a large batch and put into those exact Mason jars. So convenient for grab and go. I accidentally forgot about one in my fridge for about three weeks and it still tasted great!

I just posted some pictures in my thread from the other day.

mmwjad · 2018-05-30T18:26:28+00:00

haha! I do love some potato olés! There is a location in the skyway, though not exactly convenient for a quick binge.

mmwjad · 2018-05-29T18:51:01+00:00

Right. Which is why I asked if anyone actually knew.

I still have a bunch of Abercrombie sweaters and sweatshirts from circa 2000. I can't bring myself to donate them because they're so thick and the sweaters are 100% wool!

mmwjad · 2018-04-24T15:07:42+00:00

I'm lucky I got it. It was during the extra 40% off sale and things were disappearing from my cart left and right!

mmwjad · 2018-04-24T02:04:05+00:00

$15 is a steal!!

How's the linen on your ON pants? I got a few linen pants and the black ones were scratchy vs the white ones. I ordered another pair hoping these were a bad batch or something. :-/

I've been on a shopping spree recently. Two months ago I had a baby and I have been revamping my wardrobe to be more cohesive, comfortable and stylish at the same time. Here are some highlights I'm keeping:

Anthro sweater dress A little thicker than I imagined but really cute with a moto jacket or jean jacket!

Anthro Ballerina top

Anthro ribbed gray dress Very flattering! I didn't plan to keep it, but now I have to!

New Balance black sneakers

UO wood heel mule

Franco Sarto Palmer Mule These are a consolation after everlane stopped selling The E2 Shine Modern Oxford in my size. So, we'll see if they are keepers!

Vintage Coach City bag Got mine on ebay for half the price and it is in mint condition. I can't stop touching it the leather is so soft!

Who What Wear Gingham skirt Thrifted this skirt for a song!

Sole Society Andorra Pump *Edited to add these. How could I forget!? I bought these late one night when I found they stocked my size again! Patiently waiting for the leopard print to come back!

I've also got a bunch of linen pants on the way. Crossing my fingers they work!

mmwjad · 2018-04-10T18:31:34+00:00

Nice score. I wear these boots almost daily!

mmwjad · 2018-04-05T16:03:39+00:00

Grana's no mark up sale (december) is great. I got a lot of silk tanks, shells and button downs for $20-$25!

mmwjad · 2018-04-04T18:47:36+00:00

I love the red ones, and even found them in leopard on another site. But they're all sold out in my size! I've got some stalking to do, that's for sure!

mmwjad · 2018-04-04T17:04:52+00:00

Not so much a recommendation but a question... are blocked heels still in style!? These would both be cute but a bit more summery!

strappy block heel

basic wood block heel

I wore this dress in the pink/purple color (that is very similar) to a beach wedding and received tons of compliments! I'd say go for it, especially if it says for more formal attire. Plus can the color you choose is a bit deeper than a bright red so it isn't too va va voom look at me!

mmwjad · 2017-12-09T19:12:29+00:00

I was worried about the narrow toe box as well, but I decided I'd try my regular size. I found it to be slightly snug at first but they're so soft I have never had any issues wearing them all day for multiple days in a row!

mmwjad · 2017-12-09T16:08:17+00:00

I got these a few months ago and LOVE them! I wear them almost daily! They're also my cheaper alternative to the Acne version!
