Hello lovelies, TGIF!
The Mr. and I are going to have a laid back weekend and probably try Korean or Lebanese food in London. Mmm, grilled meats and lovely sauces either way!
Anyway, here’s a roundup of discounts and freebies I hope is useful for you:
Online Discounts
Ann Taylor 40% off any full-priced item in-store (e-mail me if you want the coupon) or online with code PRIVATE40 from Oct 23 – Oct 25. Great time to buy special occasion dresses (bridesmaid, party, tea-time at the Ritz, 😉 )
Man, totally could have gotten this dress for my bridesmaids – it’s $120 after discount. Awesome.
NYC
Great event for kids – pumpkin sail, storytelling, crafts, and a costume parade! Bring your own pumpkin to participate in the pumpkin sail. Check out details here.
Total cuteness.
London
Markets are one of London’s best features – the foods, small artisans with custom jewelery, and other vendors to suit your culinary or design palette. I just visited the Sunday Up Market last week and LOVED it. You can really get everything here – Sri Lankan chicken 65, Mauritian aubergine and fish stew, Argentinean beef sandwiches, Vietnamese banh mi (the reason I visited and some of the best tasting sauces I’ve had on banh mi), handmade t-shirts, pillows, and jewelry.
I’ll have a detailed post about this market later because it was really remarkable and a great place to buy gifts. I’m thinking of buying a really cool necklace for my Taiwan wedding and a lovely edgy wool jacket with a hood for Mr. Chic ‘n Cheap. But I highly suggest it if you’re in London!
Have a fabulous weekend!
