stephanie johnson friends & family sale!

I’m all about smart shopping. Save more, buy more. A totally twisted philosophy I was bred on, and will now try to impose upon you. It’s all rationalization, really. Do you need it? Or do you want it? If it doesn’t make your heart palpitate and get your mind racing, it’s not love. And it’s not worth it.

Put it down, slowly. You can do it.

Half the time smart shopping is about the investment; the other half, sales. Which I go head over heels for and am clearly not ashamed to admit so. Smart shopping is sexy. Just like reading is!

Stephanie Johnson is having a 40% off Friends & Family Sale!

From June 23rd through June 27th, simply enter the promo code “sjfriends” at check out and receive 40% off your purchase.Brilliant, and quite timely since I’ve been eyeing her medium Flat Pouch in Bollywood (it’s $26 at original pricing; all others are $30) for a while now. I love an exotic print and I have a sound belief that makeup deserves not to be clunked around in the bottom of the handbag, but instead, be properly housed in its own little bag. From $26, to $15.60. I loved it ever since I caught sight of it in Glamour’s “What’s in Your Handbag” post with Mindy Kaling, one of the writers behind The Office. I have a bit of a thing for smart, successful women, which makes me a bit biased when it comes to these bags (she carries around the hot pink and gold pouch).

Another one on the lust list is her ML Traveler in Mumbai Buff Essentials. Again with the exotic print because it’s gorgeous. There’s something decadent and old-fashioned about traveling with a proper toiletries bag for an entire two days worth of makeup (a girl needs options, mind you). It organizes and protects your makeup from breakage (or clothes from spillage!), and looks gorgeous on a hotel vanity. From $82 to $49.20.

I’m being good though. But let me tell you: being bad is far more fun. Nothing like a bit of (smart!) retail therapy for the soul. Happy Friday!
