Last Minute Labor Day Deals - the Short List

DealsAnneke McConnell

Happy Labor Day to you! I hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend and enjoying some time with family and/or friends!  

Here at the McConnell casa we are gearing up for back to school, and making sure everything is organized and streamlined for the upcoming months.  I took some mental notes to a few areas we seemed to struggle with last year, so fingers crossed we have some better systems in place this year. Live and learn right?!

I've been focusing on maintaining time off as a family until the kids are back in school (a HUGE priority for me!), but this weekend's sales are so, so good you guys.....like I can't find these things on Craigslist for that price good. I had to share!

SO, home decor across the board in on major sale this weekend.  I'm looking to snag this chesterfield sofa and add a little more leather back into our home this year (more on that in another post). And possibly this tufted wingback bed. #decisionsdecisions

 

Some places you'll want to check out to get some huge labor day sale savings:

 

JOSS & MAIN - they are having an additional 15% off all of their sales prices with code LDAY2016

WAYFAIR - currently having up to 70% off during their Labor Day Blowout sale

WORLD MARKET - shop their semi-annual dining sale, discounted lighting, throw pillows, bar carts, and more.

TARGET - up to 30% off home items and 25% off clothes, shoes and accessories

POTTERY BARN - up to 25% off plus FREE shipping using code SAVEMORE (including sofas and dining furniture) 

NORDSTROM - shop their summer clearance sale with pieces up to 40% off!  

OVERSTOCK - you can't get me off of here! Up to 70% off and the selection is HUGE!!! It's a fantastic resource for rugs, arm chairs, home office decor, bedding, kitchen, dining, and even luggage bags. This is one of my favorite sites to shop. 

***On another note, I was super excited to find these heels for fall after they sold out at Nordstrom. #happydance!

 

Ok, that's the short list!  I'll try to get on here and add more photos, but this will help you navigate the crazy out there - have fun shopping! I can't wait to get back in the swings of things around here but have really been enjoying these moments as a family. :-)

Design of the Week: Coastal Accent Wall Design

Edesign, Entryway, Home Blog PostsAnneke McConnell

 

Hello to the weekend! Sorry to design and dash, but we're on the verge of family time (priority!) and I'm focusing a lot on my furniture painting guide for you guys (sign up HERE!).

It seems harder to balance things in the summer, but we're enjoying (almost) every bit of it!

This design began with that beautiful weathered gray spindle leg console, then I went on to search for the artwork and the chairs. I love those stripes and saw a few other colors available (they come in a set of two).

Cool toned blues with warm brass accents never fails. Then add in a bit of pattern and texture which pulls it all together!

If you love this design, please pin it or pass it along to a friend. Your support means so much and I'm thankful for that!

Design of the Day: Coastal Cool Living Room

COMPLETE THE LOOK

Thanks for the love on yesterday's fall outerwear post!  I think since we are currently road tripping across a few states to Yellowstone currently (and it's pretty hot!), I was inspired to created a calm and cool design for the living room today. A design that is classic and will stand the test of time, with a bit of modern flair.

If you enjoy this design, please pin and share it for future reference!

I hate to blog and run, but I'm keeping things pretty short and sweet until our kiddos are back in school. Being full-time mama is my #1 priority this summer!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Fall 2016 Outerwear: Quilted Faux Fur Hooded Anorak #Nsale

Fashion Blog Posts, Fashion, Fall FashionAnneke McConnell

Whenever I browse through these incredible pre-season sales like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (one week left to save BIG), my admitted tendency is to go toward the shoes because of sizing (see my boot review HERE), trendy tops and sweaters, jeans, leggings (the BEST), and jewelry. Oh......and handbags!  Can't forget those!

BUT, I tend to overlook the socks, pajamas, beauty, undergarments, and outerwear.  Today, I'm highlighting some great deals on outerwear and sharing my top pick for the fall / winter season ahead.

Now living in Seattle, it's pretty temperate so it doesn't really get blasting hot or cold.  I definitely have my stash of year round sweaters and sweatshirts (not swimwear). ;-)

Ralph Lauren quilted anorak coat / Zella Black Leggings / Sole Society Ariana Tote / Sole Society  "Chateau" Drop Earrings

 

 

This will probably be one of my go-to coats on those cold blustery days not too far off.  Yes it rains in Seattle, but it's really more drizzly and gray most days........not huge downpours all the time.  I'm SUPER excited to finally have a pair of Sperry's because they are so easy to take on and off with the zipper and comfortable.

As a pretty nostalgic person, I imagine heading to the Pumpkin patch with the family, going Christmas tree hunting, then coming in from the cold and hanging up my coat, taking those Sperry's off and curling up in my leggings and a sweater with the kids zipping hot cocoa.   All the yeses! 

Remember there's just one week left of the Nordstrom sale.  If you've had your eye on something, snag it now!

For those of you wondering, on our Yellowstone trip today we mined for Sapphires! Next stop, West Yellowstone! :-)
