Products We Love

It's only October 12th, but yesterday I placed my "Christmas card" order (Katie did too). I know you're thinking, "what? It's not even Thanksgiving". Well, I'm a Virgo, so I like to get things done early, and I like being one of the first cards people pull from their mailbox after Thanksgiving.

Anyway, to the topic of this post....where I purchased my cards. There are tons of sights that compete for your business - Minted, Tinyprints, Snapfish, simplytoimpress, Pear tree greetings...just to name a few. But, last year I couldn't find a layout that I liked that didn't cost well over a dollar per card. And when you send over 200 cards it adds up.

That's when I found Vistaprint. I was able to design exactly the card layout that I wanted and add a photo and text to the back. Here's our card from last year.

And the ultimate reason I chose them was the %50-off coupon code. In the order I placed yesterday I got 225 cards for $123. You can't beat it. Use the code CARD50 now on their site to get 50% off your holiday card order. I use the matte stock paper and think it looks and feels great.

Happy shopping!

Ready, Set, Shop

It's Black Friday, and I would imagine some of you are shopping (or have already been) today! So we thought we should add one more shopping destination to your list, Serena Italian Imports.

As you know (100 times over), C&C loves Angela Caputi Chainlink bracelets (and necklaces). Really, we can't get enough of them….case in point, and my collection has grown since I took this picture...

The bracelets go with everything! Remember this post from last year…I wore them with my holiday plaid!

Back to the real reason for this post…Serena Italian Imports is offering all C&C readers 15% off all purchased from now until December 22nd using the code CCHOLIDAY13. 

Besides the Angela Caputi bracelets, they sell a number of other really great Italian products including handbags, jewelry, and table decor.

So get shopping! And if you don't already have an Angela Caputi bracelet, may I suggest you get yourself at least one.

What I Wore

Earlier this week I shared a San Francisco recap, but most of the photos were of the city and the food I consumed while walking all over it! So, I thought I would share two of my outfits from trip. This also serves as a good reminder that Serena Imports is offering a %15 discount to C&C readers until the end of the month (details here). In these photos I am wearing my Angela Caputi necklace and bracelets. Doesn't it make you want them?
