Mad For Plaid: My Black Friday & Cyber Monday Buys

November 30, 2018 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 3 Comments

Passport Case JCrew

Good morning! How is your week? Mine has been cold and busy. The weather here is freezing, its 17 degrees below normal. Yesterday we had a new set of French doors installed in our family room, and the “door” was open for 3 hours. Obviously the house was a little chilly and got even more chilly because out heat downstairs won’t work. Thankfully today technician is coming this morning and hopefully the heat will be back on when I return from yoga class, thankfully we have a fireplace! 

Shein

The last few weeks everyone including me has been posting our finds, wants and buys for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I did all of my shopping online and it has all arrived. I thought I would check in and let your know what I ordered, how I like. Some of the things were for me and some are for gifts. 

ASOS

This was my first time ordering from ASOS and I purchased two pairs of shoes, 

Plaid Mules

this pair of mules and I LOVE THEM! I wear a size 8 US and I ordered both the 8 and the size 9, I kept the size 9 because the size 8 felt a little small. They are well made and very stylish. 

Plaid Bow Shoes

I also ordered these plaid bow shoes which I also love, again I sized up! 

J. Crew

Tartan Cotton shirt with Buttons Red

I ordered this shirt in all three plaids, the Stewart shown above

Red Plaid

this one in Red plaid which has not arrived yet. 

Blackwatch Plaid shirt

And last but not least this blackwatch plaid. I love the two that arrived. That said, these are cotton shirts, think of it as a “classic white shirt” in tartan. They are soft, comfy and if you are not careful you might shrink them, so I would not dry them. 

I ordered the slippers for a gift and they are nice, not sure of fit as they are not my size. 

Sperry Boots

And these Sperry Boots, which were not on sale. They are cute and fit true to size.

Books Brothers

Pocket Square

Great pocket square from Brooks Brothers. 

Plaid Puffer Jacket from Forever 21. Waiting for this to arrive. 

Deer with Tartan Scarf Mug from Target.

Tartan Tote with an embroidered dachshund from Lands End. 

Tartan Throw from the Tartan Blanket Company.


P.S. Just in case you want to make an “Advent Calendar” of 25 Books to read to your kids or grandkids I thought I would share a couple. Here is the first, Can You See What I See? The Night Before Christmas.

Dream Snow

Those are my buys, what did you buy at the sales? If you found any great tartan things please let me know. 

Have a great day!

“Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Mirand “Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Miranda Gray.

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
