First, a gorgeous December poem to reflect on as we turn the calendar page to chapter 12 of 12:

“The earth turns toward the solstice” — !

Second, some of my best shopping finds from the past week have already been rolling in! I am beyond thrilled with the crown jewel of my Cyber Week shopping: my Dyson blow-dryer, which I took for a test spin yesterday. OMG! In love. Powerful but does not burn your scalp and leaves you with the sleekest, fastest blow-dry. I can’t believe I waited so long. (Also, above and below, wearing my Frank + Eileen set, somehow discounted to $115 from $386).

Lastly, a couple of other late-hour discoveries I wanted to share —

G LABEL BELTED CARDIGAN (30% OFF) // SPANX AIR ESSENTIALS HALF-ZIP ($41?!?!) // BEST EYE MAKE UP REMOVER (50% OFF) // VARLEY VEST // RHONE LONG-SLEEVE AND LEGGINGS (50% OFF) // SWEDISH CANDY BOX (20% OFF) // APL SNEAKERS // BOMBAS SOCKS // LICORICE TONER (40% OFF)

+Somehow Spanx AirEssentials half-zips are on sale plus an extra 40% off when added to cart?! These are now like $40. Strong rec for these as a top layer over athleisure.

+La Ligne further discounted — this denim skirt is $58!!! Gap price! And this gorgeous cardigan, originally $425, is only $127?!?!

+A few random beauty products I snagged while discounted: the best eye makeup remover (50% off, but then you do have to pay for $8 shipping; you can also get for 40% off but free, quick ship here), these cooling eye-masks (my favorite for a less-expensive everyday option, especially while on sale!), my favorite facial cotton (once you try, you’ll never go back to another cotton pad), and this balancing licorice toner one of my girlfriends (who is very into “skin flooding”) raved about.

+I used the BackCountry sale to buy my husband’s Flylow skiing bibs and shell! 20% off! These were available in all sizes just a few days ago but now almost sold out so that signals to me how rare these are to find on sale! Thanks to all of you for writing in your endorsements/suggestions.

+APL sneakers 30% off! I know many Magpies love these for running. I personally run with Brooks Glycerins (a Magpie reader rec — found on sale here!!!) or Nikes — for some reason, Nike just fits my foot and gait really well; I used them exclusively for maybe a decade before switching to Brooks, which I find are a bit more supportive and longer-lasting than Nike, but both of which I love. These new Nike running shoes have caught my attention. While you’re at Nike, these kids sneakers are on insale sale — $27 instead of $77!

+While we’re talking fitness: Rhone leggings and long-sleeves for 50% off, and a perfect sherpa vest.

+Extra 20% off this selection of discounted Doen. This blouse is perfect. I love the ultra-thin, soft material they use for these blouses! Easy to tuck, breathable, beautiful drape.

+Goop is offering 30% off a selection of their house label beauty and fashion pieces. I own and love this longline belted cardigan (the slightly overlong, exaggerated bell cuffs are so chic!) and then of course you know my obsession with their beauty products. I was actually just on a text thread with some neighbors about the best / most tried-and-true skincare brands, and Goop came up right alongside Skinceuticals. Reviews of all my favorites here, but the MUST haves in my opinion are their scalp scrub and their 2-minute exfoliating scrub. Both are in the “instant-reorder” category for me.

+A great stocking stuffer for kids. I just ordered two of these.
