The Weekend . . .

With Friday evening plans of relaxing with good company, a savory meal and a glass of wine, followed by perhaps an opportunity to catch up on a few favorite shows, the weekend then becomes a time to celebrate as my mother’s birthday offers the opportunity to escape to the country.

And while most of the weekend will be play, my stylist hat will be worn for a few hours while I put the finishing touches on a fellow teacher’s fall capsule wardrobe.

Speaking of style, one of my favorite fall wardrobe additions was DVF’s leopard bark silk blouse, and now it is available at a reduced price with the promo code EXTRA15 along with everything found in Diane von Furstenberg’s online store (through October 14th). Tibi as well is offering 25% off full priced items through October 13th with promo code FAMILY25. These are a few of the items that caught my eye – shoes, sweater, and a dress or two.

But before all the goodness of the weekend begins, a look back on the past week on the blog . . .
