Hi lovelies,

Three of my favorite holiday traditions is popping buttery popcorn, making hot cocoa with extra marshmallows, and bringing joy to my family, friends, and loved ones. Letting the Sears Wish Book be my holiday shopping guide allows me to honor all three traditions right from the comfort of my cozy couch.

While sipping on my hot cocoa and enjoying my buttery popcorn, I’m now ready to dive into the Sears Wish Book so I can see the smile on my family and friends faces when they unwrap their holiday presents.

The Sears Wish Book contains 120 pages of fashion finds, home decor items, workshop and outdoor pieces, home gym items, kitchenware and appliances, bathroom essentials, toys, games, and so much more. It pretty much has something for everyone on my list from my stylish bestie that lives in New York to my nephew that loves football and lives in Atlanta.

What I also love about using the Sears Wish Book as my holiday shopping guide is that it de-stresses the holiday shopping experience. When I shop at the stores, I sometimes get overwhelmed by the crowds and sales people. Plus, with the surge of shoppers during the holiday season, the clothes, items, and pieces are usually picked over or not in stock.

The Sears Wish Book ensures that my gift choices are high-quality, not picked over, and I can shop without the anxiety of facing large crowds which frees up my time and energy to really enjoy my holiday shopping experience. I can also shop on-the-go from my phone with the Sears app and online, here.

I also can’t get enough of their first-ever Holiday Blowout Sale, which is a month-long promotion with 10-50% off everything at Sears starting now through November 25th.

If you’re a member of ‘Shop Your Way,’ then you can get exclusive access to amazing deals and promos that include, up to:

50% off Tools
50% off Recliners
50% off Patio Furniture and Accessories
40% off Appliances
40% off Clothing for Her, Him and Kids
40% off Footwear
20% off Fitness Equipment and Accessories

So pop some popcorn and sip on some hot cocoa and get your holiday shopping done, stress-free here.

And in the meantime, you can SHOP my favorite holiday gift choices from the Sears Wish Book below:

Dress up your style this holiday season with the new Metaphor Fashion Collection from Sears

November 8, 2014Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

I'm obsessed with the holiday season. The smell of pumpkin spice and cinnamon in the air, curling up with hot cocoa and a good movie, breaking out the chunky sweaters and scarves, and having the chance to give gifts to those I care about the most, giving back to the community, and even finding the time to treat myself to few personal gifts.

But what I think I love the most about the holiday season, is that it inspires me to reflect on everything that has transpired throughout the year and the “new me” that I want to create in the upcoming year.

With that being said, there's no better time than during the holiday season to revamp your look and get dressed up while gearing up for a fashionable New Year. This is where the new Metaphor fashion collection for Sears comes into play. The collection includes stylish pieces for the modern woman that can easily go from the boardroom to happy hour by mixing-and-matching a few key pieces.

The new Metaphor line features lace dresses, sleek jackets, fitted pants, beautiful blazers, chic sweaters, must-have shoes, adorable accessories, hot handbags, and more. The line features an array of colors, styles, elevated designs, and next-level quality pieces, that is picture perfect for any occasion or event.

Sears revitalized its Metaphor fashion collection to really speak to today's modern woman that wants to look sophisticated yet trendy. You can easily add a statement top or necklace to complete any outfit whether you are giving an amazing presentation at work, hitting up a cocktail party with friends, or enjoying getting to know a new potential suitor on a first date.

The confident woman knows that the secret to looking great, is feeling great, and Sears' Metaphor collection makes you feel great when you rock their styles.

Fashion tip: Update your closet and wardrobe while running errands, rocking it at work, socializing with friends, and enjoying some solo down time by swapping out pants for either a long, short, or mid-sized skirt.
