Disclosure: Thank you to Lord & Taylor and ShopStyle for sponsoring today’s post.

All signs are screaming loud and clear that winter is here. Between my incredibly pale skin, layers upon layers of clothes and coats, endless applications of chapstick and hand lotion and incredible sales at my favorite stores, I know it’s here. Thankfully, the last point in my statement statement above can be filed under “pro” rather than a con unlike the nine hundred other items winter brings. OH THE JOYS. One of those retailer sales is the Lord & Taylor Friends and Family Sale and because we are all family and friends around here, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite finds from what you can get your hands on while you can score an EXTRA 30% off almost everything and 15% off almost all beauty items with code FRIENDS from now until December 13th! 

Let’s start with what is under all of those layers. The under $50 cashmere sweater that I literally can’t get enough of. Yes, you read that right – a cashmere sweater for under $50. I didn’t know such a thing existed either. You can see their huge selection of cashmere at incredible prices here. Insider tip: If you want to look like you spent a lot of money on a Christmas present for your mom, sister, friend, etc now would be a great time to shock them with cashmere under the tree! There are so many colors to choose from, you can’t disappoint!

Switching gears to the coat itself. Finding a coat that isn’t too bulky, looks classic enough to last for years and is actually warm enough to handle Indiana winters can be a struggle. Insert this Weatherproof Quilted Hooded Faux Fur Lined Jacket [I can’t get over that $67 price tag – HOW?] I love the gold snap buttons and details and the quilted fabric. Lord & Taylor has a huge lineup of affordable high quality coats to keep you warm all winter long!

And now for the fun extras. Of course with winter comes all of the accessories. Bring on the gloves, the hats, the handbags, the jewelry, the booties, ALL. OF. IT. I got my hands on some animal print gloves to deepen my love for all things animal print this year [unfortunately my exact pair is now sold out, however, these are both a really cute alternative]! Add in this Calvin Klein Kassie Leather Chainlink Satchel which is currently under $140 [normally $198] and you are sure to make a statement wherever you go. Because your feet can’t be bare during this time of the year [excluding you Hawaii folks, not jealous at all…] I covered mine up with these Lexi and Abbie Karina Heeled Booties which are as comfortable as they are cute! Last but certainly not least, my denim. If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you know my love runs deep for all things Liverpool Jeans.  Right now you can score SO many styles on sale!

I told you that there was a lot of awesome finds at Lord & Taylor right now. Winter, you just became a lot more tolerable.
