Twirl a little
Let’s twirl a little! We made it through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Those sales about did me in. Thank you for visiting my site and checking out my finds. I truly appreciate you supporting me. Now let’s discuss how amazing this alpaca cape is!
‘Tis the time for holiday cards with Minted
I love to send and receive holiday cards. It’s such a great way to catch up with friends and family. Before Facebook, this was the one time of year you would see everyone’s children. We always send a photo card and this year I am thrilled to be creating my Christmas card with Minted. Good news! I’m giving away two Minted gift cards to two lucky readers on the blog.

Cyber Monday deals not to be missed
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…Cyber Monday! I can’t deal with crowds and I’m proud to say that I have not taken part of any type of store craziness over the holiday weekend. I’ve been snuggled up at home on my computer shopping all the great deals I listed in this blog post. In fact, I kept adding more good deals to the original post as I found them. Today, I am focusing on some fantastic Cyber Monday deals.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales Strategy
Surprise! I’m dedicating todays post to my early BLACK FRIDAY and CYBER MONDAY sales strategy. I’ve stayed up late rounding up all the best deals that are already out there. My plan is to get all of my holiday shopping done between now and Monday. As new sales and discounts get announced, I will update this blog post. So check back daily on TanyaFoster.com for the best deals and steals.
What to wear to a casual holiday gathering
There’s nothing better than the Thanksgiving holidays. It’s one of my favorites because you gather, eat and give thanks. We host our family dinner every year and Pete and I cook for about 10-12 people. We love it and wouldn’t have it any other way. I insist on this family tradition being a casual holiday gathering. Otherwise, how would you fall into a food coma comfortably? Click through to see how you can WIN a $200 gift card to Lilla P.
Keeping it real
I just experienced my first hater on social media. Not gonna lie, it took me back a bit. But I decided to resolve it in a professional manner and move on. I mean after all, this is just a blog. Right? Max and I discussed it and he reminded me to stay positive, walk him and Sparky daily and reward them with a treat. If you ever have a problem, just look into your dogs eyes…
Now, for the regular programming – there’s an Instagram round-up on the blog today!
Can anyone wear skinny jeans and booties?
One of the most asked questions I get about styling my blog is what trends are age appropriate. Personally, my feeling is that if you feel good in it, wear it. Those old rules about who can wear what are long gone. Just like the rule about wearing white after Labor Day. That rule no longer exists. Today I’m introducing you to Laura F. and we will show you how we both styled nude booties, skinny jeans and a sweater top. We both look age appropriate – don’t you think?
Neutral Gift Guide
WOW! A few select blog subscribers got to attend the advance screening of Nocturnal Animals last night. Bravo Tom Ford! Not only is he an amazing fashion designer but a brilliant film maker as well. It’s intense and deeply disturbing but a real sit on the edge of your seat thriller. I need to calm down and just think about today’s neutral holiday gift guide.
How to style a midi skirt
This is funny! Over the weekend I ran into someone who follows the blog and they said to me “You are dressed just like you would be on the blog”. Why yes I am. That’s because I shoot my every day looks for the blog as well as wear my clothes. So it makes sense that if you run into me, I probably am wearing something you have seen before. One of those looks is the midi skirt.
Dear Dressing Room
Happy Friday! Happy Veterans Day! T.G.I F. Today we are going to talk about what every woman dreads – the store dressing room! Could the lighting be any worse? But there are times when you need a friend to help guide you through a new trend or two. Dear dressing room…
all wrapped up
That’s a wrap folks. We voted, we have a new President, lets move on. I stayed up late and watched the poll returns on numerous channels, twitter and the live electorial votes map on google. Fascinating! Needless to say, I am brain dead this morning and I’m going to keep it short and sweet. You need this super soft Alpaca wrap from Cuyana.
