Shay and I have literally been behind the scenes planning this series since this summer. 
And today, with HUGE smiles on our faces, we present to you:

We thought we would go ahead and kick things off today with a HUGE one.
Hold on to your leggings people.

Sigh.

 Now, I want to tell you girls what I did...because I felt kind of like a shopping genius when I did it.
I saw the below offer, and I thought it looked like an awesome little set.
You have to spend $125 to get it for "free"....but it's a $61 value,
and it was actually items I felt like I would use and love, which isn't always the case with the "gifts with purchase".

So I boughtTHIS  (that I highlighted on Friday)....

And then I bought THIS....
This shimmer brick has 11 reviews online, and all 11 are 5 Star.
That rarely happens that 100% are 5 stars, so when it does, I trust it.
Here is one of the reviews:

Perfect Shimmer

I love this shimmer brick. I have had trouble with shimmery powders in the past, most leave too many sparkles on my skin for me to feel comfortable wearing it for a day look. This brick is different. I feel like I can sweep this product over my skin and not worry about it being too much. It gave my skin a beautiful glow. I'm excited to keep using it :)

***Other colors of shimmer bricks available HERE.
All but one colorway has almost all 5 Star Reviews, so click to find the perfect palette for you!***

And those two purchases enabled me to get the free gift (which was automatically added at check-out)!
So, for $125, I got all of this!
Not a bad deal AT ALL, and it's on it's way to me as we speak!  

While Supplies Last of course.

Click HERE to see ALL of the GIFTS WITH PURCHASE that are available  at Nordstrom.
Gifts with Purchase are AWESOME to take advantage of when buying Christmas gifts because you can get an extra gift for a loved one OR a little something for yourself.  ;)

And before we leave the Nordstrom site, I have a Santa Alert for you that takes advantage of one of their new markdowns!

Kendra Scott Small Oval Boxed Earrings HERE.
Several Kendra Scott items went 20-50% off today, including THESE earrings.
They are a PERFECT gift to give, especially since this particular pair comes in this cute little gift box.  It makes such a nice presentation, and there are 8 colors to choose from so you are certain to find a pair that is perfect for your loved one!
Click HERE for all Kendra Scott items on sale at Nordstrom.
You can choose from earrings, bracelets, rings, and necklaces for between 20-50% off!

And one more great designer deal that is newly marked down...
click HERE for this Kate Spade bow bracelet that is now 33% off.
I tried this on (can't find the picture dangit!) and absolutely LOVED it!  So pretty and sparkly!
It will look great on it's own or layered with other bracelets.

Okay. Last thing. I promise.
I found THESE Kate spade "taffy" patent flats for 40% off HERE.
They also come in black and nude.

So, these are the panties that sooooo many of my readers named a MUST HAVE.

So, after several e-mails I tried them for myself.

And OH LORDY  these panties are comfy.

They are EXPENSIVE, so I know I will only be buying them on sale, but I will slowly replace ALL of my underwear with these babies.

I will buy some thongs, and I will buy some regular backed ones for my collection.

When I was making a big deal out of them a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't really decide how to put it into words.
Well I have now officially decided how to put it into words.

And I made a graphic.

And I'm pretty sure the Hanky Panky marketing department will be contacting me by the end of the day.
(Again, I would like to apologize in advance to my dad for this graphic.
Sorry, dad.)

Hanky Panky.

Call me.

There are some on sale at Nordstrom HERE.

But there is a much bigger selection on the Hanky Panky site HERE ....
