Congrats to Nitasha who is going to look fabulous in the Anthro sheath dress she poached!

levis legging

Lately I’ve had a lot of people asking me (in real life and on the blog) about my jeans. They’re Levi’s. I discovered them two years ago and they’re my favorite. It only took me 30+ years to find the perfect jeans! Haha. The thing I love about Levi’s is once you find a style you like it makes shopping so much easier. I just grab my style, size and color preference and, BOOM!, they work every time.

The two styles I return to time and time again are the 535 leggings and the demi curve skinnies. I’m petite with a bit of a boyish figure and I like the way these styles give me a curvier look. I have a short torso and I like the low rise of these styles, too. They aren’t low enough to let it all hang out but they are low enough to avoid the dreaded mom jean look. They have the teensiest bit of stretch in them so they hold their shape really well wear after wear, wash after wash, year after year. I have some that are 2+ years old and they look and fit like they’re brand-new.

I like to roll the 535’s and wear them with ankle boots.

The demi curve skinnies look great with flats or my trusty leather boots. These boots are five years old and they just keep getting better.

So, yeah, I’m always on the lookout for Levi’s. When I find a pair marked down in my style and my size, I have a hard time not scooping them up because I know I will have them for years. Just the other day I found a pair on sale thanks to PoachIt. Have you heard of PoachIt?

PoachIt is a free service that lets you track your favorite items for price drops and it gives you access to coupon codes (that actually work) across the web. Basically, you never miss a sale again. You can follow over 5,000 merchants like Anthropologie, Nordstrom and Shopbop. Use a tracking button in your browser (much like the Pin It! button) to track specific items from other sites. When one of the items you’re tracking goes on sale, PoachIt sends you an email and saves you time, energy and money. There’s also an app to Poach on the go.

Right now I’m following Levi’s, Target, Madewell, H&M, ASOS, Forever 21 and West Elm. I’m also tracking a few cold weather-specific items like snow boots, hats and leg warmers. We got our first snow of the season last week and I realized how NOT READY I am for winter. My birthday was Saturday and I have a little money burning a hole in my pocket so I’m really hoping those Sorel boots go on sale soon. I’ve lived in the Midwest all my life and I’ve never owned a decent pair of snow boots. As a kid, I always tugged on four pairs of wool socks and wore my dad’s Red Wings to play in the snow!

With Black Friday only four days away, I’m curious: do you do the Thanksgiving / Black Friday shopping thing? I used to when I was younger but it’s such a hassle now. I feel bad for the employees. I know what it’s like to work retail. I was listening to an NPR report this past weekend which revealed that many of the in-store Black Friday deals are recycled from the previous year(s)…same products, same prices. Meaning Black Friday shoppers could actually be paying more for outdated products. No thank you. Plus, I’d really rather spend the day at home with my family. This year, maybe I’ll check PoachIt to see if there are any deals to be had. Would you like to try it too? Lucky for you, PoachIt is offering up a $100 giftcard to spend on anything you want! Find entry details below.

PRIZE: one $100 American Express giftcard

RULES: You must be at least 18 years old and have a shipping address (no P.O. boxes please) within the U.S. One entry per email address.

TO ENTER: Click here and sign up for a free PoachIt account. Then leave a link in the comments section sharing what you would purchase with the $100.

DEADLINE: Enter before 9:00 p.m. EST on Monday, December 1st. One random winner will be announced Tuesday, December 2nd.

WHILE YOU’RE AT IT: I shared my favorite jeans, now it’s your turn! What are your favorite go-to jeans? I recently introduced my friend to Levi’s. She used to buy pricey, designer jeans but all it took was one pair of Levi’s that fit her like a glove to change her mind. She was leery at first because we don’t have the same body types. She’s taller and curvy in all the right places. She found a style that suits her and now she’s a convert!

Yes!! I love Levi’s jeggings. The most comfortable and jean-looking I’ve ever worn. I’ve never tried any of Levi’s real jeans before though. It sounds like we have similar builds, so I might just have to give them a shot! Thanks!

24.November.2014

It’s going to be freaking COLD here again this winter, so I’d probably use the $100 towards a warm North Face parka. It’s not that exciting, but sometimes a girl needs to be practical (and warm).

My favorite jeans, believe it or not, are Old Navy’s Rockstars. I used to buy premium denim but not anymore. The Rockstars fit me like a glove and they’re $35 or less.

24.November.2014

Fun! I would love this Northface vest. Perfect for freezing cold MN winters.

https://www.poachit.com/product/411759/WOMENS_INSULATED_DARELLA_VEST

Jeans are the worst. I don’t think I’ve ever repeated a style – currently I wear a super stretchy pair from H&M that is somewhat high-rise. I also wear GAP jeans pretty often, but I never LOVE them. I just tolerate them. Never tried Levi’s though… maybe it’s time.

24.November.2014

A Bose soundbar for under our TV!

24.November.2014

I knew about finding a good Levi’s style for my boys and then staying with it, but it never occurred to me that I might use the same trick on myself!

24.November.2014

i love Gap jeans! I think I will look into Levi’s.

24.November.2014

I haven’t found an ultimate jeans…my husband only wears levis though! I have been happy with ann taylor loft lately.

I like 7 jeans, but I’m curious which style Levi’s your converted friend likes? (as I am tall and a little curvy).

24.November.2014

I have tried to love levis in the past but they never truly worked for me, so I was surprised to see they were your favorite brand! I do love the fit of jeggings so maybe those are worth another try. However, if I won the $100 I would definitely splurge on a nice pair.

24.November.2014

Dana, amazing post! Funny you love Levi’s, because we actually wrote up a little history on your fave jeans in honor of Levi Strauss Day. Check it out on Buzzfeed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/poachie/the-history-of-jeans-fbw9

24.November.2014
24.November.2014

We are in the market for a bigger tv, so maybe I would put the $100 towards a new tv?

https://www.poachit.com/product/411761/Samsung__50_Class_4912_Diag__LED__1080p__Smart__HDTV__Black

I have a hard time with jeans too. Everything is so low-rise these days. I generally like Gap jeans – they are classic.

24.November.2014

I have always loved j crew jeans, but recently bought some gap jeans that are my current go-tos!

https://www.poachit.com/product/399692/Frye_Anna_Shortie

24.November.2014
24.November.2014

Lands End also makes great jeans. I just discovered this 2 years ago and have since purchased 3 pairs!

And if I won the gift card I’d buy those exact booties you’ve got on in the first pic. I’ve had my eye on that pair for a while now!

24.November.2014

I love Levis as well! They’re my go-to, though I also have an old pair of ripped up abercrombies from college that fit like a glove. I’m covering some sorel boots, too. I have never owned a pair of nice snow boots, but if our winter is anything like last year’s they will be a necessity.

24.November.2014

Sorel boots for sure! I have my eye on the knit Joan of Arctics!

24.November.2014

I love LOFT jeans. They stretch a bit, so I get to size down (always an ego-booster), and lately I have realized that I am too old and too out-of-shape to wear leggings, even under tunics. So I have fallen in love with their skinny jeans, especially in black to replace leggings. I usually wear their “straight” jeans, but the skinnies can tuck into boots easier. I love these: http://www.loft.com/curvy-skinny-jeans-in-black/313835?CID=GooglePantsLT&mr:referralID=6edbe193-7414-11e4-ab7a-001b2166c62d

24.November.2014

I would splurge for a great sweater

24.November.2014

I would buy myself a nice holiday skirt to wear to some upcoming holiday parties! I have pretty good luck with jeans from the Gap. I like their skinnies!

24.November.2014

I just found out I’m pregnant so I would love to use it to buy a BumpNest (or some type of pregnancy pillow!)

24.November.2014

I have been drooling over these West Elm Saddle Chairs for months. I am dying for one for our kitchen office. I just can’t swallow the price tag. $100 off would be amazing!

https://www.poachit.com/product/411888/Saddle_Office_Chairs

24.November.2014

I can usually find jeans that fit well at American Eagle. But now you’ve made me want to try Levis!

If I won the $100 gift card, I would most certainly buy this leather Fossil cross-body bag I’ve had my eye on for months!

24.November.2014

https://www.poachit.com/product/411978/tortoise_fringe_necklace

I’m a sucker for Madewell jewelry!

Thanks for the opportunity!

24.November.2014
24.November.2014

I would buy Christmas gifts!!

24.November.2014

we don’t shop on black friday anymore….we actually have our thanksgiving lunch that day! I now wear jeans to work every day, so I’m always on the hunt…will definitely have to try Levi’s

24.November.2014

I think I would get some Levis too — I’ve been wearing Lucky Jeans but I always get them deeply discounted or even at a thrift store. The ones I just bought aren’t great, and I can’t find the style that fit me perfectly, so I’m ready to try something new.

I love PoachIt! I’d probably put it towards a new pair of Frye boots I’ve been eyeing.

24.November.2014
24.November.2014

My favorite jeans are hands down Madewell’s skinny jeans. They were the most expensive pair of jeans I’ve ever bought, but they are sooooo comfortable and hold up well to many washings. I’m saving my pennies until I can buy another pair!

24.November.2014

I would definitely put the gift card toward the Sonos Playbar that the hubs wants for Christmas.

24.November.2014

I would like to get a few more basic tops. I really like this striped tee!
https://www.poachit.com/product/411021/Sidezip_stripe_tee

I wear a lot of Lucky jeans and they fit really well!

24.November.2014

i would just ADORE the MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS BEDFORD CROSSBODY if i got it!!!!

24.November.2014

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the boyfriend from victoria’s secret – have numerous pairs!

24.November.2014

Dana, thanks for the jeans recommendation! I;m on the lookout for that “go to” pair and being petite it is always a struggle to find one. I’ll be sure to check these out.

24.November.2014

I would love to buy the upholstered raleigh bed from pottery barn for my master bedroom!!

24.November.2014

I would buy new bedding for our new king sized bed we are purchasing!

24.November.2014

I have my eyes on Anthro duvet covers!

24.November.2014

I’d love to treat myself to a new sweater or two! I have to confess to loving Hollister’s low rise super skinny jeans (I’m almost 29!) – much like Levi’s, once you know your size and style you can grab and go!

24.November.2014

Yes! I have been looking for a site/app like PoachIt! Maybe I would buy some picture frames or something. I have nothing on my wall after moving a year & a half ago…whoops.

24.November.2014

Probably jeans because I have 1 pair right now!

24.November.2014

I would use the money to buy Christmas gifts for my kids.

24.November.2014
24.November.2014

I would use the money to buy some flats I’ve been stalking for the last month! My go-to jeans are Paige Jimmy Jimmy Boyfriend skinny that I impulse bought for $30 on clearance, now no other jeans can compare in price or fit!

I couldn’t narrow it down to just one! But I love this Anthro tunic. https://www.poachit.com/product/402012/Capriccio_Lace_Tunic

And I recently found a pair of Lucky jeans at a thrift store and I love the fit!

24.November.2014

Good to know about those jeans!
I’m loving this: https://www.poachit.com/product/411704/Petite_capsleeve_shirttail_blouse
I think that it would look great layered under cardigans and sweaters.

Thanks for the chance to win! I’m crossing my fingers!

24.November.2014

I would get some new booties!

thanks for the giveaway!

24.November.2014

Interesting site. I guess I would go with the Allemont Bootie from Nordstrom https://www.poachit.com/product/412053/Allemont_Bootie_Women

24.November.2014

If I had $100 to spend on PoachIt, I’d get the Moroccan Wedding Throw at Anthropologie!! https://www.poachit.com/product/405526/Moroccan_Wedding_Throw

24.November.2014

I have those same Sorel boots – totally worth the splurge! If you have an REI nearby, wait until the sale, and bring in your REI points….I got them for about $89. Perfect for rainy NW days and snowy weekend trips to the mountain.

24.November.2014

I would put $100 toward the Astrid top on Piperlime!

24.November.2014

I’ve got my eye out for a cute new parka since it’s cold as balls already, and last year’s coat is looking pretty ragged!

24.November.2014

I would put the $100 towards this cute nightstand!
https://www.poachit.com/product/412611/Penelope_Nightstand__Acorn

24.November.2014

Can you believe that I do not own a pair jeans at the moment? Right now I’m all about the maxiskirt’s from Old Navy. I have ankle-length ones and just above the knee ones.
My favorite pair of jeans were from lands end of all places. They stopped making them and I just haven’t found a pair that I like enough to wear.
You’ve inspired me to check out Levi’s.

24.November.2014

pilcro jeans from Anthropology (on sale!)

24.November.2014

I would love to own the hand felted Lhasa throw! https://www.poachit.com/product/412547/HandFelted_Lhasa_Throw

24.November.2014

They say we will have temperatures of -40 degrees this year. I thought -20 was bad last year! And scary! I’m on the lookout for a pair of flannel lined jeans.

24.November.2014

Our computer has been giving us the “blue screen of death” lately. I think it’s time for a new one . . .

24.November.2014
24.November.2014

I love a good pair of jeans. My new favorite are the rockstar from Old Navy. They do a demo-boot and it is my favorite since I am petite and don’t need the huge legs of regular boot cuts.

In regards to winter, my husband and I move back to Georgia from Hawaii in a few months. I think the temperature change is going to be a real shocker. I would love these boots to help make the change a little more bearable : https://www.poachit.com/product/412378/Blossom_Womens_Pita26_Bucklestrap_Kneehigh_Riding_Boots

Thanks for doing a great giveaway!

24.November.2014

My cousin swears by her Levi’s thats all she and her son and husband wear. They get theirs at Kohls. You might want to check them out online for your favorites. :)

24.November.2014

Woah – never heard of PoachIt before, and that’s definitely game-changing! I have been eyeing a pair of women’s Blundstone boots – so practical for winter and working outside – and hope to see them go on sale somewhere soon. Thanks!!

24.November.2014

I’d have to toil over it for a while but on initial glance I’d buy this..

https://www.poachit.com/product/411837/Drawing_Room_Pullover

looove all of the things that popped up to start!

24.November.2014

Gap have been my go to jeans lately but only when I can get at least 40% off!

24.November.2014

I would buy jeans or a coat…in need of both for the cold winter! My go to jeans are Levi’s but I occasionally splurge on pricey designer jeans.

24.November.2014

I still haven’t found a great pair of jeans. I’m going to have to give Levi’s a go. Right now I’m wearing Old Navy jeans.

If I won the gift card I would probably buy a good pair or snow/rain boots. I’ve always wanted some and have never bought any for myself.

24.November.2014

I am tracking a pair of sorel boots for winter!

Love the post about denim faves, I am a denim-a-holic!

24.November.2014

I would treat myself to something from Anthropologie……

24.November.2014

I currently hate all of my jeans ha! I’ll have to try Levi’s. PoachIt seems like an awesome site. On the top of my list are some ankle boots.
https://www.poachit.com/my_tracks/triciab/products

24.November.2014

I’m normally a fan of Gap 1969. I’d put the $100 toward a quality pair of boots.

24.November.2014

I would use it towards this beautiful Anthropologie tote: https://www.poachit.com/product/404519/Athena_Calf_Hair_Tote

24.November.2014

I am totally digging this beaded coat from H&M:
https://www.poachit.com/product/406272/Beaded_Coat

24.November.2014

I used to buy high end jeans but recently I discovered the Gap 1969 and the Old Navy rockstar and those 2 are my new favorite ones. If I got & I’d get the Tom’s Dessert Boot in Gray!
https://www.poachit.com/merchant/579/nordstrom

24.November.2014

I have a great pair of Levi’s too and I would have never thought! I do love them and wear them often. I also really like the way Joe’s Jeans fit on me. I usually find them for $70 from Marshall’s or TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack. If I won the gift card I would love to get a pair of black skinny Joe Jean or Levi’s.
https://www.poachit.com/product/66039/Straight_Ankle.

24.November.2014

https://www.poachit.com/product/413608/Threshold_Bar_Cart__Gold

I would put the $100 toward my long-coveted Threshold bar cart. I missed out the first time Target carried the darker wood version, I can’t miss it this time around!

24.November.2014

I would get the LONG COTTON GABARDINE TRENCH COAT

24.November.2014

Love some Levis…nothing like a pair that fits.
Great post!

24.November.2014

I am loving the jeans. Gotta get another pair of Levis

24.November.2014

I would spend the $100 on winter boots. I also have lived in the Midwest my whole life and never had a decent pair of snow boots.

I like LOFT jeans and often find them at an outlet store on sale. :)

24.November.2014

Anything from target, anthropologies, or west elm! I really want a new duvet fingers crossed!

24.November.2014

Forgot to link to the winter boots I like: https://www.poachit.com/product/413844/Tundra_Boots_Diana

24.November.2014

I would buy a desk for my bedroom.
Thanks so much for posting. Love those gray low boots .. very stylish.

24.November.2014
24.November.2014

I have been wearing Levi’s since high school…and I graduated in 1969! It was 501’s then. And they were men’s that you bought by waist and length size that had to be washed to shrink to fit to the size you bought. I can’t wait to try the 535 leggings….fortunately I can usually still wear a junior size. As for poachit I think I’d buy this tunic to wear with those leggings! https://www.poachit.com/product/405819/Cooperative_Layered_Collared_Tunic_Top

24.November.2014

I would one of these office chairs from West Elm: https://www.poachit.com/product/411888/Saddle_Office_Chairs

24.November.2014

How am I just finding out about this.

I would buy a new cross body bag. Can’t decide which from Kate spade though…

24.November.2014

My go to jeans …. Lucky. It sounds like you feel the same way about your Levi’s! Thank you for the tip on Poachit. What a great concept! And if I have extra money…. A girl can always use more boots:) Happy Thanksgiving!

24.November.2014

I am in a boyfriend jean phase with different brands. I’d use the $100 towards an iPad mini.

24.November.2014

I wear Old Navy jeans even though the short size is slightly too long on me (I cuff the hems), but I AM always looking for a solution that would fit my height better. I am really short…

Regarding PoachIt, this is an interesting platform! I think I would treat myself to some jewelry.

24.November.2014

Thanks for introducing me to Poachit! What a great concept – I love shopping online more and more. It’s just so much easier! With an extra $100, I might have to buy some new boots…

25.November.2014
25.November.2014

I would buy the AEO quilted duffle coat.

25.November.2014

There is a pendant chandelier that I love on Overstock for my eat in kitchen, so hopefully it will go on sale soon. Love the Poachit concept! I will admit that I am a premium denim girl. I used to think it was ridiculous to spend that much money on jeans, but that is one area in my life that I am willing to splurge! My favorites are DL1961 and Joe’s Jeans. There is a great second hand clothing store near me that carries lots of premium denim for less than $50, so that makes them much more reasonable. I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!

25.November.2014

This is a great website! I think you’ve gotten comments before, but your boots in the first picture are perfect. I would get a wall mounted jewelry organizer I think.

25.November.2014

$16.99
Micro LED 30-Bulb Star String Lights
on World Market
I’d buy just about anything from world market!
https://www.poachit.com/product/405169/Teal_Task_Floor_Lamp

25.November.2014

I’d buy curtains for our bedroom!

25.November.2014

https://www.poachit.com/my_stores

I’d buy a new vanity for my bathroom!

You’re adorable! I need to try Levi’s They are my boyfriend’s favorite. I rock target brand now.

25.November.2014

JEANS. I love Madewell jeans, and I need some more.

25.November.2014

I’d either go with two polished glass table lamps from Target or the capiz ray mirrors from West Elm.

Jeans are hard! My favorites used to be Lucky, but they changed the fabric a couple years back and don’t work as well for me as they used to. Also, I’m 6 feet tall, which complicates things further

25.November.2014

Crow Vintage Tabitha Bootie is half the price of Sam Edelman Petty :)

25.November.2014

Ahhh jeans would be a better use of my money but can’t resist this:
https://www.poachit.com/product/367411/Allusione_Sheath

25.November.2014

We are in the process of building a home, so I would definitely love $100 to purchase some decorative accessories!

25.November.2014

Poach is such a great idea. I could really use some new boots for this winter.

25.November.2014

I just signed up and haven’t ever heard of Poach, but love the idea.. I would love some rag & bone booties, or always leggings. Thanks!

25.November.2014

I’ve been living in a pair of Rock & Republic jeans I found on the clearance rack at Kohl’s.

25.November.2014

We are in desperate need of some light fixture updates. I’d get these for our kitchen island: https://www.poachit.com/product/415347/Globe_Pendant__Milk_Finish

Thank you for the Poach introduction!

25.November.2014

I would buy a pair of these lanterns!

https://www.poachit.com/product/410124/Colton_Lanterns

25.November.2014
25.November.2014

I love Levis and Old Navy jeans! Would probably use $100 towards a DSLR for Christmas.

25.November.2014

Please tell us your friend’s jeans! I am tall and curvy, too and could definitely not wear yours!

25.November.2014

Definitely could use $100 off this floor lamp I have been lusting after: https://www.poachit.com/product/415243/Overarching_Floor_Lamp_Antique_Brass

PoachIt is pretty great! I have been using a site called Prince Pinx for years that is based on the same idea, but it has been in need of updating and it looks like PoachIt is more up to date and functional. I’m super excited to give it a try!

25.November.2014

I’ve totally been looking for something like this! I’d spend $100 on Xmas gifts probably…or a new pair of Lululemon capris!

25.November.2014

I think I would put it towards some shoes!
https://www.poachit.com/product/415484/Menko

25.November.2014

https://www.poachit.com/product/353149/Charlie_Skinny__Lucky_Brand

Lucky Brand is my go-to. In addition to having a good range of jeans based on shape, I’ve never bought something from them that wasn’t 30-40% off. Sales all the damn time. There’s one today.

25.November.2014

I would buy something from Anthropologie. Maybe this sweater: https://www.poachit.com/product/415285/Cropped_Cowlneck

I’m hooked on Lucky jeans but the last black pair I bought at Madewell and love them too.

25.November.2014

I’ve never heard of Poach and I think it’s a genius idea! I need a new table lamp for my living room.

25.November.2014

Since I’m expecting my second baby the first week of January I’d most likly stock up on some nurseing friendly clothes. This dress looks like it would do nicely.
https://www.poachit.com/product/245291/WOMEN_SLUB_DRESS

25.November.2014

I love LOFT jeans as well. I’ll give Levi’s a try though! I just signed up for Poach and I’m addicted already. It’s a Pinterest feed of my favorite things on sale!! I’m looking for some light fixtures, we bought a foreclosure this summer and the lights need updating. It’s so dark, can’t see anything in the kitchen!

25.November.2014

I would buy these https://www.poachit.com/product/407680/Munroe for my boyfriend! He needs some nice boots :)

I newly discovered these DL1969 brand through stitchfix… i have a dark gray skinny pair and i am in LOVE with them. They feel like velvet, they make your curves look amazing… i never knew i could love a pair of pants so much….

I would buy some art for my new house!
I love Levi’s, I have a few go to styles for jeans from them.

25.November.2014

I had a great pair of Ralph Lauren Saturday jeans, then they stopped making them and mine got holes. Then I had a great pair of LOFT jeans that are also no longer made so I’m still searching for a new favorite! Poach is awesome!

25.November.2014

I would buy work clothes. I’m hopefully getting a new job soon, and I’m gonna need some new clothes.

My favorite jeans have always been Kohl’s Sonoma brand. They fit well and they’re affordable.

25.November.2014

I’m in desperate need for a new work coat – the one I have now is 10 years old and looks so ratty! I want to find something that is stylish but will last for years and years. Would totally use that money for this!

25.November.2014
25.November.2014

I need new winter gear, too. I’m eyeing the wool beanie from Madewell….or your suede booties!

As for jeans, I’m a converted Calvin girl!

25.November.2014

as lame as it sounds, i really need a dyson. i just adopted a second dog and the extra hair that accumulates in my house is INSANE.

25.November.2014

I’d buy a wool coat with a fur hood for winter!

25.November.2014

I’m in desperate need of new jeans…post-baby #2 my old jeans definitely don’t cut it right now.

I would buy a new winter coat!

25.November.2014

Hi!

Signed up for POACH! Looking forward to the sales alerts!
I would buy this awesome West Elm buffet I have had my eye on!

http://www.westelm.com/products/dumont-buffet-g441/?cm_src=E%3Aconsoles-buffet-tables%7C%7CNoFacet-_-NoFacet-_–_-&catalogId=38&lineid=1

Also – my favorite denim ever is the toothpick jean from JCrew. I am short and curvy, which doesn’t sound like it would work with the toothpick… I don’t know – I just LOVE these jeans!

Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!

25.November.2014

Old Navy Sweetheart jeans fit me best.

I love the “book” tee shirt, do you know who sells that item?

I would buy some camping equipment for my son and his family.

25.November.2014

I would buy some new legging jeans. I love these from the Gap!

25.November.2014

I’ve been loving these tribal print cardigans, so I’d probably go for this adorable cardigan from Anthropologie.
https://www.poachit.com/product/415324/Cerrillos_Cardigan

I’ve always wanted to try Levi’s but the few times I actually tried them on I had a hard time finding the right fit and gave up. Jean shopping is not my favorite so I always stick with what I know, 7 For All Mankind boot cut jeans.

25.November.2014

https://www.poachit.com/product/416946/Stripe_sweater_jacket

Gap is my go-to for jeans, but I I’ve heard great things about Levi’s so maybe I need to try those next.

25.November.2014

Levis for me! a nice would look good with them. :) Thanks!

25.November.2014

Honestly, there is a good chance I’d buy another pair of Levi’s too! The demi cut does fit perfect on my body as well. Otherwise, I might buy a new kitchen lampshade. We’ve been living with a boob light for too long.

25.November.2014

I would love to spend it at Anthropologie!!

25.November.2014

I’d spend it on anything from West Elm!

25.November.2014
25.November.2014

It’s by HUMAN. Love their sarcastic text tees!

26.November.2014

I would spend $100 on a vintage pendant light from Pottery Barn for our newly remodeled kitchen.

26.November.2014

I would buy holiday gifts!

26.November.2014

I’m in the midst of creating a baby girl nursery for the first time! I have two boys! I would love to do something with these for her birth date:

26.November.2014

We recently had our main living area completely refinished after water damage from a leaking ice maker line (not a way to return from vacation). But now we are in need of the finishing touches. This mirror would be awesome in my dining room. Bouncing some light around the small space to open it up a bit more.

https://www.poachit.com/product/376741/Floating_Wood_Floor_Mirror

P.S. I am going to have to look into Levi’s now. I can never find jeans I love that also last. Thanks for the tip.

26.November.2014

I’m still searching for the ultimate jeans! I’ve liked the designer ones (citizens, 7, etc.) as much as some of my cheaper ones (gap). Need to give Levi’s another try! I could put the $100 toward that ;)

26.November.2014

My faves are AGs (Adriano Goldschmied). They’re worth the splurge. I loved Levis when I was younger, and loved their junior sizing. I would definitely use $100 at Poach to revit Levis based on your recommendation.

26.November.2014

I would buy Christmas presents! Thank you :)

26.November.2014

A Bose sound bar for sure.

26.November.2014

I would buy that West Elm saddle office chair that you have and that I love!

26.November.2014

I want one of these, but not quite enough to indulge…and my real Christmas present will be a replacement laptop, so I can’t just prevail on the husband.

https://www.poachit.com/product/419895/Fitbit_One_Wireless_Activity_Tracker__Black_FB103BK

26.November.2014

I would buy some new furniture or (more likely) some Christmas gifts!

(My favorite jeans are Lucky jeans!)

26.November.2014

I would love some new jeans and a pair of boots to go with them!

26.November.2014

A pair of Levi’s 535 (or two)!

26.November.2014

I would totally purchase some cold weather gear for cross country skiing and snow shoesing from REI!

26.November.2014

I also love the Demi Curve! I would spend the money on gifts for kids. My girls love everything at Athleta.

26.November.2014

I would totally buy me some shoes

26.November.2014

I would totally use that gift card to Christmas shop!!

I don’t have a favorite brand of jeans, but what I’ve recently realized is how life altering having my jeans altered (har har) is. I was taking them to a seamstress to take in the waist (I always get the dreaded waist gap and no jean EVER fit me right), but my husband inspected her work, then watched a YouTube video and now HE alters my jeans for me! Just two darts sewn into the back and I’ve got jeans that always fit. It’s a freaking MIRACLE.

26.November.2014

I would use the gift card towards a pair of winter boots for my honey. I watched him shovel so many times in sneakers, often falling on our very icy walkway last winter. I didn’t have to shovel once. I am realizing how sweet that is of him!!! Wow!
I am hoping to some day start the journey of finding that perfect pair of jeans. But at 3 months post partum, I can only focus on how am I going to get fit and try to love my changed body. Good luck, right?!

26.November.2014
26.November.2014

I’m searching for a new light fixture for my hallway and west elm has some nice options.

27.November.2014

i could never get into levis for some reason…but they look awesome on you. so i may have to try them over again! my favorite pair of pants are my merona flower ones from target i got on clearance last year! granted, you can’t wear them with everything, but i sure do try!

i would spend my $100 on this: https://www.poachit.com/product/421644/Daniel_Wellington_Classy_St_Andrews_Watch_26mm

27.November.2014

This is sheer gluttony, but I would choose a pair of Ayala Bar earrings!

On a side note…. I was at the Banana Rep factory outlet the other week and scored some perfect jeans at 50% off! I am short, and have a bit of a tummy, but these jeans make my legs look long and lean:)

27.November.2014
27.November.2014

Oooh love this!! I would probably use it to get a new pair of winter boots too. Something sporty yet warm. I’m in need of a new pair.

Thanks!

27.November.2014

I have my eye on a new light fixture from world market!

27.November.2014

I love this! Why didnt someone think of this sooner? I’m literally going to track my entire pinterest on this thing because there’s so much I’d love to virtually stalk!

27.November.2014

I have been eyeing one FINE coffee table at Crate & Barrel for years!

28.November.2014

Levi’s have been my go-to jeans lately too!

If I had $100, I would buy something to help me love winter more — maybe some good boots for my cross-country skis.

28.November.2014

Ooh, wow. I would buy some pretty baskets for the house.

28.November.2014

I had a pair of Levis once that I absolutely LOVED. Alas, I think they don’t sell that style anymore; I bought them on super clearance at TJ Maxx two years ago.

I’ve been looking for a rug for months now, and I think this is the one I’d get:

28.November.2014

GAP jeans are my go-to, but I’m going to give Levi’s a try. If I had $100 to spend, I’d put it towards a classic leather Madewell tote, with a monogram for good measure!

29.November.2014

Great giveaway! I could use a pair of cute ankle boots myself!

29.November.2014

I’m also a Levi’s gal. I have the demi curve (my faves) and the too superlow 524s. Back when I was a teenager in the early 80s I’d wear the 501s and sew in the sides for a slimmer fit. Not anymore. :)

I would use the giftcard to upgrade to a bigger and better bike for my six year old. I have been eyeing a BMX Mongoose at Walmart.

29.November.2014

I live in my baggy vintage True Religion jeans. Just bought a second pair off ebay.
There are lots of cute holiday decorations on there – I’d probs go nuts and buy $100 worth

29.November.2014

You look great in those jeans. I’m gonna check them out. I’ve recently bought my last few pairs of jeans from GAP, but I also have a pair from EXPRESS that have gotten me a lot of compliments.
I registered for POACHIT, it reminds me of Hukkster (which I think didn’t survive). It’s hard to choose what I’d get. Probably a few little things like these frames from West Elm https://www.poachit.com/product/390655/Gallery_Frames__MidCentury_Acorn.
Happy Thanksgiving!

29.November.2014

I’d buy this cool Polaroid camera if I WIN.

Gifts for the kiddos. :-)

30.November.2014

All signed up and ready to shop!:)

Maybe the jawbone up at target
https://www.poachit.com/my_stores
I don’t really understand how to use the site. Maybe because I’m on my phone? I can’t see the items I’ve tracked and when I click on an item I’m only able to go to the site or enlarge the photo. No links.

01.December.2014

I can see why you’d be asked, those jeans are perfect.

01.December.2014

I wish that levis worked for me! They always gape in the back for my body :(
If I won I would buy from my anthro wish list, I’m thinking https://www.poachit.com/product/429289/Perenne_Shirtdress

https://www.poachit.com/product/438007/Souk_Wool_Rug

Thank you for the info on the jeans! I will totally try those out!

02.December.2014

What length do you buy in the 535s? Do they even come in a shorter size. I found that the ones from Kohls seem to bunch at the knees sadly. Any advice?

02.December.2014

I haven’t found them in different lengths. Rolling them or letting them bunch at the bottom works for 5’3″ me!

15.December.2014

Ok totally random question…just wondering if you would consider doing a post about your hair routine… How you style it, what products u use etc! Love it!

17.December.2014

Sure! I’ll add it to the list!
