while the 40% off sale isn't happening anymore, there are always great deals at loft.com.  i've said it once, i'll say it again...

tip of the post:  NEVER buy anything from loft.com at full price.


i picked up my items at 40% off, but right now they are offering MAJOR markdowns, all below $20, so I suggest taking a peek.

i have my eye on this:

Henley Pocket Long Sleeve Blouse, only $14.88

i've been looking for ankle boots all season and have had my eye on the beauties from anthropologie:

pointelle fringe booties

i fell in love with them, but before making a $200 purchase, consulting the proper confidants is important.  sister and bf were a yes, but mom was a no.  i had to continue my search.

a boot search should always include frye, and i ended up finding these puppies:

frye jaden roper

these were approved by everyone.  so began my coupon and cashback search.  i would have purchased direct from the frye company, but they don't allow free return shipping, which is always important, especially in a shoe purchase.  i found them at shoes.com.  my size and everything.  ebates gave me 8% cash back (super high in comparison to many other sites), and i found a 20% off coupon code!  fryes on sale + 8% cash back, thank you!

since i found such a good deal, i decided to add these chaco flip flops that i've been needing.

chaco flip

here's the best part of the story:  i needed one final approval before i pressed confirm, the bf.  i had all my credit card information and coupon codes added to the sale and left it up on the screen to show him when he got home.  i ended up forgetting to show him that night.  the next morning i had a confirmation email in my inbox.  WHAT?  did i accidentally place the order?  no!  then i noticed the payment type, discover.  i don't even have a discover.  it was my bf!  he saw the checkout on the computer and ended up buying it for me!  how sweet is that!?

BEST BF EVER!
