BUY THIS (So We Don't Have To): Shopbop Friends & Family Sale!

Ugggghhhhh, you guys. This is the Shopbop sale that makes me want to cry every year because EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm all, "I don't need anything! I can't afford it!" and the second it's over I'm all, "Dammit, I should've bought ____." EVERY. YEAR. And really, I don't need anything from Shopbop and I can't afford it so I'm going to enable you instead. Here's the deal:

Take 25% off your Shopbop order with code: INTHEFAM25 (plus 3.0% cash back with eBates.)

Now, I could suggest that you buy the cool new version of my favorite bag in the most incredible dark grey leather or you could buy Marianne's beloved slip-on sneakers. Those would both be really smart purchases. But yeah, they're big purchases. This is a Big Purchase kind of sale! Go big because I cannot. My suggestions:

You know what? Everyone should have a few bits of real jewelry. Gold, man:

Astley Clarke Rose Garnet Stilla Ring

It is totally a coincidence that garnet is my birthstone. I also think these rose gold earrings are glorious in their simplicity:

Gabriela Artigas Infinite Tusk Earrings

And boots! Take advantage of that 25% off and get the boots you really want. Maybe these:

Madewell The Archive Leather Boots

And how about some cool Chelsea boots? I want a pair pretty badly:

Frye Philip Chelsea Flat Booties

And you know those fancy destroyed jeans you've been eyeing? DEWIT:

Current/Elliott The Skinny Jeans

And oh, there is nothing that makes me wanty quite like a perfectly perfect leather motorcycle jacket in an unusual color:

Mackage Lisa Leather Jacket in ash

Whelp. That's done it. I'm dead now.
