I mean…it’s Friday and I’m super excited about giving out another 
$250 Nordstrom gift card!
And listen friends, if you think this is big…wait until Sheaffer and I host this…
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
…our annual Five Days of Fabulous starts Monday, November 30 and it’s our biggest one yet!

So, there is lots to be excited about today!
As always, today, I’m linking up with Andrea, Narci and Erika for Friday Favorites.  Here we go…

Our sweet friend Manda spoke at our church’s fall women’s night a few weeks ago and totally rocked!  Manda shared her story with everyone…she has fought cancer 3 times and is such a rock star about all of it.  If you want to watch Manda’s very encouraging and uplifting message from that night, you can right here.  I promise you, you will be amazed at what a fighter our friend is.  Also, if you want to keep up with Manda on this journey, you can “like” her Facebook page here.

On Wednesday, I shared my Pie oh My! with you.  I gathered up all of my favorite Thanksgiving pie recipes and posted them in one place.  They’re all simple, all seasonal and all delish!  I’m telling you…you will find a Thanksgiving pie to make in the bunch :).

Hey! Hey! Hey!  It’s that heritage scarf I’ve talked about ;).  I wore it to church on Sunday and took a pic to show you guys.  I still love it :).
It also comes in green and navy.

Every year, I host my annual recipe exchange and it’s always, always, always SO MUCH FUN!  Well, this year, it’s a Breakfast Edition and everyone is coming in their pajamas and slippers, so, I bought these…
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
…aren’t they fun?!?!  
We also do our annual Jammy Cocoa Christmas each year, so they’ll be perfect for that too!
The sweatshirt isn’t even really a pajama…it’s an actual sweatshirt, but when I saw the cute plaid pants, I thought they’d look super fun together as pjs!  And of course, you already know how much I love my Ugg slippers :).
The sweatshirt comes in four different patterns…
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
And the pants comes in five patterns…

‘Tis the season for festive pajamas!

Speaking of festive…

…my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pie with an Oreo Crust is one of my favorites today too!  This my friends, needs to be on your Thanksgiving table.

And finally, I’ve had a lot of questions lately about denim and when I partnered with Nordstrom for all of these giveaways, they asked if I wanted to talk about denim…and since I wear denim every.single.solitary.day, I said yes :).
I’ve been telling you for months that I found my new favorite pair of jeans…
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
…these BLANKNYC jeans are my new favorites…and I wear them almost every single day (for a size reference, I bought them in 26).  
(Psssst…booties//tee//scarf )
In pretty much every pic I post, I’m wearing either them or my black jeans…

, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
…now, here’s the thing with my black jeans…I ordered and returned two pairs before buying these.  The other pairs weren’t comfy at all.  They were stiff and tight in all the wrong places.  These jeans however and so incredibly soft while maintaining their shape at the same time.  They’re Paige Jeans and they’ve made me a believer.
(And pssst again: booties//coat)
I saw these Joe’s Jeans that looked really cute, so I ordered them and did a side by side comparison…
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
The first picture is a new pair of Joe’s Jeans, then my black jeans, then my BLANKNYC jeans.  
Flannel shirt here.
Booties here.
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
So, I liked these Joe’s Jeans when they arrived.  I thought they were comfy and really cute…but they look enough like my BLANKNYC jeans (which are less expensive), so I didn’t keep them.  That being said, if for some reason the BLANKNYC didn’t work for you…these might.

, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
I just love my black jeans :).

, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
And I really love my BLANKNYC jeans too!
And then one last thing if you’re trying to add a few little gifts to your Christmas shopping cart…I was trying to take a pic of my new glitter studs for you, and I actually took a pic of several things that would make excellent Christmas gifts…
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
Glitter Studs
Gold Necklace
My very favorite watch!
Tory Burch Bracelet
Okay…but wait for it…after I was done with this post, I bought this pair of jeans…
, Friday Favorites: Nordstrom Giveaway #4
…um, they are in fact the comfiest jeans I have ever put on my body.  I met Sheaffer for coffee yesterday morning and she commented on them and I told her that they were so comfy, I wish she could climb inside just to feel. #shedeclined 
I have mine cuffed with my booties, but I tried them on with my tall boots and they work well with them too.  If you’re shorter like me, then you could cuff (or hem) and if you’re taller (lucky you), you can wear them straight.  I cannot say enough good things about these jeans!  They were a surprise to me!
I took a couple of other pics so you can see them better…

  15. kelly says

    No matter what you wear you look great! But I LOVE your pjs! I think I'm going to grab me that sweatshirt! P.S. we've totally copycatted (is that a word?) your Jammy Cocoa Christmas! Thanks for the great idea. We love it!

  27. Juliane Pass says

    Jean season has me like ���� I wish it were socially acceptable to wear running tights every. Single. Day. I used to love Loft jeans but of course they have changed and don't fit the same. On to find a new pair. Thanks for the reviews.

  44. Nicole says

    Yay! I just got back from traveling to India for two weeks, so this is the first giveaway I've been home for! If I won (I hope I do!!) I would totally buy those booties & cute Christmas outfit!

  49. Ashley T says

    I would buy a plaid scarf for me and ugg slippers for my hubby!! I have a pair like yours and they are the best. I need to spread the cozy! Your blog is the best way to wake up!!

  57. Ms. DeSantis says

    Amazing giveaway! I can't even remember the last time I walked into a Nordstrom now that I have two little ones! But I most certainly have not forgotten how to shop! 🙂 I'd buy presents for my mother and sisters and save a little something for me, too. Feeling pampered by the very daydream…

  70. Kathleen says

    I am hosting my first recipe exchange this year and I am so excited! I am starting off with cookies. 🙂 Thanks for the wonderful idea! I hope y'all have the best time in your pjs this year!!!

  74. Andrea says

    Thanks for doing a giveaway! I would have a hard time deciding, but I love the jeans, and maybe a scarf, or the glitter earrings. The list could go on and on….

  75. Emily says

    I'm almost 5 months post-partum with little guy #2 and this month I have officially been pregnant or nursing for 3 straight years. I see a shopping spree in my future for many needed items! If I won, I would probably buy some of your jeans, there's scarf I've been wanting, and some new boots!

  112. Karla Aukerman says

    Ahhhhh, a second comment from me, sorry! I was so excited I forgot to answer the question! If I win, I might actually splurge and buy those cute studs! I also LOVE the plaid heritage scarf and the Christmas sweatshirts.

  120. The Stantons says

    Black jeans are high on my want list….but the is some sort of "dye" smell that I can get rid of. Being honest…it's only been two pairs that I have tried and returned (Gap, ON). Going to get brave and try the ones from Nordstrom. And…if I buy black jeans from Nordstrom, I will need a new scarf! (Think of the children's book "If you give a Moose a Muffin"!

  125. Conley Morris says

    That CHEETAH COAT! Oh my word I am in love! It would make a great present for my sis in Canada LOL, thanks for hosting another giveaway, Shay- you're the best! Xx

  133. ~Kristen says

    Jeans!! I'm always in need of a great pair. Being 5'10 it's hard to find a good fit! ….and of course I'd buy a few Christmas GIFTS for those on my list!

  138. Jamie Allen says

    winning the gift card would mean i'd have to choose between the MK watch, the kate spade earrings, or {most likely i would get} a pair of boots because i have never had a pair of boots other than winter boots {it's really a tragedy!}. thank you for the generous giveaway. and i totally agree with the commenter above: your blog is a happy way to start my morning. right after i make my son's lunch i run back upstairs, get warm under the covers and read your blog.

  140. M Martinez says

    Hi! I would buy something nice for my sister and something for me. My sister and I love your blog and she deserves something nice in her life. Have a great day!

  142. Ann says

    love skinny jeans, but i am 'rounder' in my waist with slimmer legs (and short…such fun!). how do these fit in the waist?

  153. Becca at One Girl says

    Love that you cuffed your jeans with your booties! I had heard somewhere that was the way to wear it (especially for a fellow short girl) but had not seen any real life examples! And that scarf – it is a must!!

  154. Liz says

    I'm attending a black tie wedding this spring and don't have a dress to wear! I would put the gift card toward a fabulous new gown 🙂

  170. Heather Deramus says

    I have a specific pair of Ugg boots that Sheaffer blogged about in my cart! And then….I might try that last pair of comfy jeans you mentioned today!!! Excited about your upcoming Five Days of Fabulous posts!!!

  172. Heather says

    Love the glitter stud earrings! I would buy a pair for my best friend (and maybe a pair for me too!) and some new clothes for my daughter!

  175. Carmen Valis says

    Thank you for another great giveaway! I would buy Christmas presents if I won!!!! Although those jeans and the Christmas "pjs" might need to hop in my cart too 😉

  185. Susan says

    I need some jeans ? But I'd probably buy things for my granddaughters and a needy family for Christmas. Honestly, we are so blessed that it seems wrong not to share. Merry Christmas!

  192. Chastity McNair says

    I am so glad we get to hear Manda's story! Love. Love, love all of the jeans; I am a fan of dark wash so they are speaking to me. I can't wait to see Ashby with you guys for Jammy Cocoa Christmas! As a reader when you guys didn't have Ashby for the holidays and got her shortly after, I kept thinking "I can't wait to see their family complete next year!" And here we are. Praying for the Shull five!

  195. Sherri says

    Christmas gifts!!! �� I love buying for others. Seeing the surprise and their face light up is what it is all about! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm checking out those jeans. I always have such a tough time finding ones I like.

  206. Jillian Rosmon says

    I would love to try out your favorite jeans, but I also have two friends that I am planning on getting them those sparkly studs for Christmas! So a gift card would help me finish up Christmas shopping!
    – Jillian Rosmon

  223. Jillian Rosmon says

    I would love to try some of those jeans you suggested. But if I won I know I would buy two sets of those sparkly studs for my friends for Christmas gifts… And maybe a pair for myself while I was at it! It would be a huge help with finishing up Christmas shopping!

  224. Emily says

    Definitely the Ugg boots Shaeffer shared this week! I bought the gap pj leggings yesterday because yours always look cute &comfy…. I put them on as soon as I got home (I resisted just leaving the dressing room in them! Ha!) and I am still wearing them this morning!

  237. Lizzi says

    I would spend it on Christmas presents for my two boys. We are trying to not spend too much but it's so much fun getting them stuff. They are 3 and 5 the magical Christmas age 🙂

  239. Brooke says

    I have a super long wish list at Nordstrom! So most likely, I'd buy a good amount of it with this gift card!! Thank you for giving us this opportunity!!

  249. Tiffany Green says

    I would buy birthday presents for my soon to be 1 year old, and Christmas gifts for my daughters. We are tight on money this Christmas and would love the extra help.

  250. meg says

    I love following your Instagram account! This is so neat that you're doing this giveaway 🙂 I would buy myself some high top red converse and probably use the rest to start on my Christmas shopping!

  258. Unknown says

    I would buy a new pair of jeans and Christmas presents for my hubby. Do you cuff your jeans a certain way? I have a straight leg pair and when I cuff them I feel like they look too baggy at the bottom to wear with booties. Would you recommend certain types of jeans to wear with booties? Thanks! Christina

  268. Dullgirl says

    Would love to win this gift card for our Christmas this year. My husband lost his job in September so this would be a Christmas for us. Thank you for doing this giveaway.

  272. Ashley Erkoc says

    I would use $250 at nordstroms to help out my bridesmaids with their dresses. Being part of our big day, though special, can add up so I would love to help alleviate financial stress anywhere I can 🙂

  274. Rachel Embery says

    I would buy a Christmas presents. Going through a rough time now and being a teacher I don't have a lot of extra money. So this would cover a lot of my shopping:-)

  275. Steph Paul says

    I LOVE your fun holiday wear:) My kids would totally love them as well:) we always look at christmas lights as a family but not in our jammies…. maybe this year!

  276. Christene Demers- Rowland says

    I love the Christmas sweater that lights up… It would be a wonderful blessing for daughter and I if we won the giveaway….I pray for who wins the giveaway needs it the most. 🙂 God is Good. What a wonderful blessing your giving someone, 🙂

  277. Ashley Erkoc says

    I would use $250 at Nordstrom to help my bridesmaids with their dresses for my wedding. Having them apart of our special day is great but can add up quick. I would love to help alleviate some financial stress anywhere I can 🙂

  287. Courtney Bailey says

    So many things I could shop for… Getting married and buying a house next year and am becoming an aunt in December! Oh the possibilities! First thing on the list would be those Kate spade earrings for myself! 😉

  293. Brooke says

    What wouldn't I buy?? I really want to try a Clarisonic since I've heard so many good things about it; also a Kendra Scott necklace

  300. mandy says

    I would buy that sweatshirt with the cat on it for my friend Anna, who loves cats and is the sweetest, plus that let it snow outfit for myself!

  311. Liz F. says

    If I were to win I think I would buy a new pair of jeans–I really like the BlankNYC ones! I have been working out hard and skipping my daily sweet treat in order to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight so would love to reward my twice daily sessions with Jillian Michaels with some new jeans. And I would have some money left over for Christmas gifts 🙂

  313. Stacy says

    I always buy for other people and not so much myself so I would use it all on myself! I'm feeling jeans, boots, and a sweater!!

  318. Charming Lucy says

    Thanks for the tip on the denim! I am always on the hunt for a great pair! I already ordered the other pajamas you posted. Love them! Just bought my second pair, since pajamas are so important in the winter. With the gift card I would buy the must have leggings and a Halogen cashmere sweater for my daughter. Then I would pick up a warm scarf for my mama and a sweater for my hubby. He does not own one sweater!! Can you tell my Nordstrom cart is full?;) Thanks!! Susan

  319. Kaylinmnorton says

    I would buy those Kate Spade studs for Christmas presents for all the women in my life! My sister, mom, mother-in-law and sister-in-laws would all just love them!! And I would buy myself some new jeans! I don't have a pair that I just love right now. Thanks for the opportunity!!

  320. RoseN says

    Thank you for a post about jeans!! I have only one pair and am looking to try and get some new ones 🙂 you're always so sweet when it comes to informing others on what may work for them & I can count on you for that! Delicious pie! Thank you!

  325. allishaw says

    I would 100% buy some cute wellies!! After doing carpool the other day my feet were wet for hours… My feet would thank me! I'd also snag some Christmas gifts like those cute glitter studs!

  333. Roxanne says

    There is a red Vince Camuto coat that Sheaffer had on her blog and it is beautiful!!! I hate wearing a coat but I think I would love this one.

  344. Celeste Derkach says

    My husband and I are expecting TWINS and are first time parents-to-be! We are definitely on the tightest budget ever which means no extra money for me. I would love a post-pregnancy shopping trip to Nordstroms!

  353. Ashleigh King says

    Love all your accessories in this post! I am so ready for the Christmas season! Have a great weekend! Thanks again for hosting this give-a-way! Hope you are blessed ten fold for being so generous!

  354. Elizabeth says

    I would get my husband a variety of "FUN" socks for him to wear to work… And then probably something for my sweet baby that arrives in March! ?

  362. happymomof4 says

    Oh my I'm LOVING this post, so many wonderful, fun, festive stuff to wear!!! I could definitely use this gift card for jeans for me, as well new pjs for myself (sad to admit I'm still wearing my maternity pj's and my youngest is 2yrs old!!)

  365. Kristen says

    I am about to have baby #2 in a couple of days, so I would probably purchase some new clothes for myself. Plus I am thinking some house slippers and PJ pants might make a good Christmas gift for my hubby! 😉

  374. Emily Stunda says

    I don't usually shop at Nordstrom because it is a bit pricey. With this gift card I would buy gifts for my family and the treat myself to some jeans or some of those adorable pajama pants! I'm expecting my second child after the holidays and could totally see myself living in some adorable pajamas 🙂

  378. Elizabeth Schuneman says

    I would love to buy Christmas AND birthday presents for my mom 🙂 she has a December 20th bday so it normally gets mixed into Christmas presents . With four kiddos she deserves some new clothes !
    Thanks shay!!

  399. Rosanna Salinas says

    I would want to try those jeans, I am a sucker for soft jeans and those Christmas sweatshirts are the cutest! However, first I would get some Christmas shopping done and out of the way. 🙂

  409. Courtney Kelderman says

    I am a first grade teacher and would love to be able to buy some new school clothes for the new year! Most of my spending money goes to all classroom expenses and fun things for the kiddos!! 🙂 loving the dressy jeans!!!

  411. Cara says

    I would love to buy a new sweater and one of the infinity scarves that you are always modeling! Those Kate Spade studs are darling too! 🙂

  419. Courtney Kelderman says

    I am a first grade teacher and would love to buy some new clothes for the new year!! Classroom materials and fun things for the kids take up most of my spending money 🙂 I love the dressy jeans!!

  426. Allison Boltwood says

    I've been looking for a good plaid scarf all season, your heritage scarf is so cute! I'd use the gift card for Christmas gifts and a pair of the glitter studs for myself 😉

  428. Stacey says

    My son has a serious girlfriend this year and I'm over the moon excited about shopping for her. You've given me great ideas for her and me too. 🙂

  434. Toni Wade says

    My bestie and I are hosting our first annual recipe exchange in a couple weeks {inspired by YOU}, I'd buy all my girls stud earrings! Adorable.

  441. Angela Pino says

    I can't wait to watch Manda's story!

    Also, I'd love a Shade of Shull on how you blog. I'm trying to launch my own and would love to hear about your experience and how you do it. What do you use to create all your graphics, etc? Just a thought!

    As always, sending love and prayers!

  461. Nikki Carlson says

    I would buy some Northface gear for my husband, a mini Boden dress for my daughter that's otherwise too much for me, and one of those jeans you highlighted for my mom for Christmas!

  472. Susan Maliff says

    Thanks for the tip on black jeans. Although I have purchased several pairs over the last few months, I have yet to find a pair that I truly love the fit & feel of. Will definitely be trying out your recommendation!

  475. Sa-Rawr! says

    New jeans! I live in leggings…your post has me thinking I might need to up my game haha
    Also, some pretty kate spade or kendra scott for my mom

  479. Wendy says

    We are wearing ugly Christmas sweaters on Christmas Eve to my mother in laws house. My oldest daughter is wearing that Santa sweatshirt you posted. I would use the gift card to buy fun things for unsuspecting people.

  481. Lena T says

    This would be the best opportunity for me to be able to give me whole family the gifts that I would like to!! If I won the gift card I would buy everyone in my family a small gift I know they would love!!! It might be tempting to buy myself
    Something but I love the feeling of gifting more than spoiling myself! ❤️

  485. Carrie says

    I would buy boots and leggings with this gift card. I have yet to spend more then $40 on boots and I should. But my husband can not stand the leggings/skinny jeans and boots look. I am a preschool special Ed teacher and that combo is great for on the floor play since I am still required to dress up a bit. But I can never justify spending that much when my husband objects every time I wear them! At least my 8 year old thinks it looks great.

  490. Kristen says

    As a stay-at-home mom, my wardrobe tends to get a little "blah." One of the many reasons I enjoy reading your and Sheaffer's blogs is that I get tons and tons of great ideas on new trends and you both are great motivation for me to turn my closet around! Thank you!

  491. Miranda says

    You are such an inspiration. You are a great mom to three, wife, sister snd daughter. But still find time to do things you love. Thank you.

  512. Erin P says

    I would buy some awesome gifts for my parents and maybe even a couple of those glitter studs for myself because I CANT RESIST THEM!

  513. KitKat says

    I recently had a baby and then cleaned out my closet and donated a bunch of stuff (my body has just changed!) so I would love to buy a few new staple pieces!

  516. Linzee Campbell says

    Oh to win a Nordy gift card!!!! So exciting! I'd use it to finish up my holiday shopping. I'm one of the crazies who enjoys the hustle and bustle of the mall in December!!

  519. bmrobertson63 says

    I am loving all those jeans recommendations, but I am especially interested in that last pair of Joe's jeans! I have great distressed denim, but I need another pair of great dark jeans. Thanks for sharing the idea!

  530. Charis says

    Thanks for this awesome giveaway! I would buy gifts for my family and also possibly a couple things for me…I just had a baby and I'm needing some new clothes. 🙂

  536. Laura says

    I'd get a few great gifts for the family, s comfy flannel shirt, and something for my baby girl on the way next month! 🙂

  538. Debra says

    I have two pairs of dark wash jeans, and I'm in love!!!!! I wish I had a Nordstroms nearby (the closest is six hours away), so I could "try" before I buy all of the wonderful items you recommend. Although, $250 gift cards make online shopping so much more fun!!

  547. Kayla Kuhl says

    I need so many fall & winter necessities right now! I would buy a pair of booties, a military jacket and a blanket scarf – I don't have any of those things! I also could really, really use a new pair of jeans. I think that gift card would cover just about all of those things 😉

  549. smzalesk says

    If I won the gift card, I might buy myself some black booties, a Kendra Scott drusy necklace or a nice leather cross body bag. I'd make sure to save some of the money to buy some Christmas gifts too! I love my Chicago Nordstrom at Christmas time. It's so festive!

  552. Unknown says

    My friends and I are visiting New York next month so I am sticking up on warm and cute accessories. I enjoy reading your blog and see so much love in your family.

  562. Abramyan Avenue says

    I love the glitter earrings. I'd def buy those but honestly, I'd get something awesome for my home, like the Ugg throw or use it towards the Frye bag I've been eyeing.

  576. Diana says

    I just love your blog! You have such a sweet family and I look forward to reading your blog each morning! Thank you for sharing. This is such a generous giveaway! I would finish some holiday shopping and get those cozy pajamas for my mother in law, my two sister in laws, maybe even a pair for myself too ? and get some clothes for my kids! So fun! Thank you!

  588. Melissa Kling says

    With the gift card, I would buy my mother a few new outfits. She is the most self-less person I know and never buys for herself. So this money would go for her! 🙂

  590. Heather and Matt says

    With a gift card I would buy Christmas gifts for family and a little something for myself.

    Love your style! But more importantly love your family and what they stand for!

  599. Lori Cubbon says

    I would definitely treat myself to some new clothes. I recently lost all of the baby weight after 3 years and 2 kids. Life is so busy raising a 3 year old and 1 year old, buying Christmas gifts and getting ready for the holidays, I never think about myself. I live in the North and currently own 1 sweater!!!! Yes, it would force me to stop and take care of myself. Can't think of a better Christmas gift to myself. 🙂

  624. Heather Miller says

    Love these opportunities you are giving out to win gift cards!!! I would use the gift card for Christmas shopping for my family. More than likely the women in my family so I could buy them glittery and sparkly jewels. xoxo

  628. Corinne says

    I was going to say I'd buy the glitter studs as Christmas presents for the women in my life…. But I think I'd get to Nordstrom and buy myself some comfy pajama jeans and walk out with glitter studs for myself : )

  637. Tana says

    So many things to love about this post!!!! I would love to win this contest to purchase Christmas gifts for my family and friends!!!

  641. Elly Oh says

    I've been a secret avid follower for about a year now and am obssessed with you and your entire family!!

    If I were to win the gift card, I would definitely use it go to Christmas Shopping for my family and friends! Makeup, skincare, accessories.. the usual 🙂

  643. Monkey Bean says

    I'm a late shopper for the holidays, so I still have quite a few gifts to buy for family and friends. My gift card would go towards those purchases!

  647. Kim in RI says

    Christmas shopping time! My daughter has been asking for uggs for years so that would probably be the first thing I buy! Thanks for the opportunity!

  659. rwick says

    I recently left my longstanding career to stay at home with my two small children so needless to say I don't get to go to Nordies anymore. If I had the gift card I would get either some nice pajamas, jeans or riding boots.

  665. Renee King says

    Now that my daughter and I are the same size, I can buy Christmas presents for her that we can share! Is that bad? This might be a clothes Christmas for all three of my girls!

  666. Eaglesoaring says

    I would by gifts for my family making them feel really loved and lucky. Thank you Shay, you're an inspiration to many women including myself. Bless you and your family<3

  670. Andrea K says

    Would love to win the gc & buy glitter studs for all the fabulous women in my life! And I have the heritage scarf in both colors & love them so much! Great suggestion!

  680. Lisa C says

    It would be hard to choose because boots are calling my name but I think I'd buy new cute holiday PJs for mom, me, dad, and my husband. We're going to Kansas City next month for my son's graduation and it will be COLD. Thanks for the chance to win!

  683. Not A Mom says

    The PJS are my absolute fav and the glitter studs are giving me life! My hubs and I are wanting some C'mas pjs so I would definitely be using the gift card on that! happy weekend! prayers for your dear friend, Manda.

  686. Kat Ambrose says

    We're feeling a little strapped as we're looking to buy a house after the holidays, so the $250 would be great to help out with some people on my Christmas list this year!

  689. A Gal Named Al says

    I would buy my husband a nice winter coat and some TOMS wedge booties for myself. I like Nordstrom for their kids' back to school shoe selection as well. Thank you for the chance to win!

  697. Christy says

    I would get a pair of those icon jeans, because I desperately need a new pair of skinny jeans as all of mine are worn out! I would also use what's left of the card to go towards some hunter boots. I've heard such wonderful things about them, but I've never owned a pair.

  703. jana says

    I would totally splurge on clothes for myself. I never understood moms that only bought things for their kids and never for themselves. Then I became a mom. I could shop for myself. Guiltfree 🙂

  705. Lauren P. says

    After reading everything you and Shaeffer have to say about denim, I think some jeans should be on my list. And, of course, those glitter studs!

  712. Unknown says

    I have a long running list with all of the cute things you show all of the time so I would make a dent in that finally! Maybe I'll start with some Hunters and a few plaid shirts!

  713. Alexandria Reed says

    I would use the giftcard for Christmas shopping… & I've had my eye on the northface jacket you keep talking about!!

    PS I can't wait to make one of your peanut butter pies 🙂

  715. Heather says

    I would love some great pjs and some new UGG slippers-mine are almost deferred-pretty sure that's not a word.:) I love reading your blog and this giveaway is so fun!!

  720. Ellen Brown says

    Thanks for another give away! Can't wait to see what you have in store for five days of fabulous! I'm convinced I'm eventually going to win one of these ?

  725. Liz says

    I have those joes jeans and love them too! I'd buy a dress for a company Christmas party! And maybe that Tory wrap bracelet, cute!

  732. Micaela Violette says

    Thank you for putting together all your favorite pie recipes- I think i'll try making the mini pumpkin pies. I would use the gift card towards Xmas gifts for my family and a pair of the Joe's jeans that you recommended so highly!

  733. Lauren R says

    I need new jeans so bad!!!! I'm about to order a few of these and try them! Ahhhhhh please let me be the lucky winner of the gift card!

  736. The Boutelle Family says

    Oh my! My list of what I would buy with the gift card just keeps growing! A plaid scarf for sure, new jeans, cute PJs, and Christmas gifts for friends (plaid scarves all around!) 🙂

  739. Steve Kachelmeyer says

    Those jeans are so cute, and they may actually work for a tall girl like me. So if I get the card I will be ordering those!!! Then the rest will be spent on Christmas gifts.

  744. Mackenzie says

    I would definitely get the Michael Kors cocktail dress I have been eyeing for the holiday season! It would make the perfect LBD. I am also loving your adorable PJ/sweater combo, so those items would make their way into by cart too!

  764. ashillingburg says

    I LOVE your style! This gift certificate would be perfect to buy myself a little something and my secret sister. 🙂 Nothing is better than seeing a smile on the face of someone you bought a gift for! LOVE this season!

  771. Kelsey Sonego says

    With the $250 gift card, I would def buy some of the Ugg slippers. I can only imagine how cozy they are. I would use the rest to purchase things for our first child who is due in March!

  774. April Parrish says

    So excited to hear Manda's story!! Continued prayers for her and her family!!! Hope I win!!! I would do lots of Christmas shopping!!
    Have a blessed weekend!

  775. Laci says

    I would love to say I'd spend it on Christmas presents . But, I think I might have to treat myself to some of your recommendations!!!!

  785. Alicia Marie says

    I would definitely get some of the blanknyc jeans. They look so great with everything! I also would get some gifts for my hubby, who won't spend money on himself…so he deserves some nice things this Christmas 🙂

  786. Katherine Carter says

    I really really want those Ugg Cardy boots and a cute pair of maternity leggings to get me through the winter. You are absolutely one off the sweetest bloggers and I love how you share your life with us.

  790. Angela Ellingson says

    Looking forward to watching Manda's talk. I love Jammy Cocoa Chistmas! This will be our 3rd year copying your family's tradition and we love it! Those jeans sound so amazing but I'm 4+ months pregnant so new jeans will have to wait. 😉

  794. Steph36000 says

    Today is my 31st birthday, so I would treat myself if I won! I would definitely get that plaid scarf and the stud earrings. Crossings my fingers, I've never won anything before!

  798. jee. says

    Those jeans are perfection! I just splurged on a Veda leather jacket at Nordstrom, and I've been on the hunt for jeans that would look pair well. I'll have to follow your recommendations! Though, I should probably wait to try them on after Thanksgiving… 🙂

  802. Amanda Griffiths says

    I would buy clothes for my new job that I start on December 1st!! I'm use to wearing a uniform for 6 years now I have to wear business casual!! Super nervous but excited for a change!

  804. Cahanrah30 says

    You guys are always such a happy, fun group to catch up with! Love your styles, delicious recipes, unbelievably cute kids but mostly that you are good women of Christ! Such a refreshing reminder in this world of ours. If I got the gift certificate to Nordstrom I would be so excited to shop for a few things for my mom! She and my dad have been putting all of their time and resources into helping my brother with his medical issues that I have been extra excited to do things for them this Christmas!!!

  809. Begina says

    I would buy some new jeans and try out the ones you suggested on this blog! I'd also love to buy a blardigan!! I've been wanting one since the first time you and Sheaffer bought one!!

  820. Cahanrah30 says

    You guys are such a breath of fresh air in the world! Not only are your recipes delicious and children ADORABLE, but who you seem to be as people and Christians is so refreshing! If I got the Nordstrom gift card I would be thrilled to get a few things for my mom's wardrobe. She and my dad have been using all of their resources to help my brother battle cancer. I am extra excited to give back to those three this Christmas!

  824. rosanneofleon says

    Christmas gifts and maybe a scarf for myself! I'm obsessed with them! Love your blog(s)/Instagram and following along with your adorable family! You just have the best content that always brightens up my day and Your Friday faves are always right up my alley!

  826. Kelly says

    *someone* has me hooked on Vigoss jeans….I don't want to name names… but it's Mrs. Pinteresttoldmeto. They always seem to be on sale and they are pretty comfy and they always run a tad big (for me), so I need the next size down which i kinda love. That being said- I'm ready to branch out… but I don't want to break the bank! So I'd get some new jeans if I won- and I need new Uggs- like bad- like I've had the same pair of Uggs for 13 or 14 years… and I still love them, but they've seen better days.

  841. Babygirl says

    Hmm…what would I buy? Probably something small for myself, and spend the rest on Christmas gifts for the fam! My small item would probably be a new tube of better than $ex Mascara, cause I love that stuff and need some more!

  845. Jess Deisher says

    I came across your blog not too long ago and LOVE all your posts but swoon over the jeans. So thats exactly what I would get 🙂 you have the cutest style & after your posts about the glitter earrings ALL of my girlfriends are getting them for Christmas!

  846. Kimberly says

    Great post with great recommendations! I'd definitely do some shopping for my mom and 15 year old daughter… They would love all of these things! (and I would too!) ~Kimberly

  849. Michelle Whitaker says

    I would buy Christmas gifts for family members. The Kate Spade glitter studs would be the perfect gift for my daughters. I love your blog and your style Shay. Have a lovely Thanksgiving.

  876. Laura Bake says

    I'm having my second child in a couple weeks so of course it would be fun to go shopping and buy some new non maternity jeans! Love your suggestions!

  877. Katie Oman says

    So many things I would like to give as Christmas gifts, the gift card would help!!!
    Also, Manda's story is AMAZING. I think I will bookmark it to watch in the future and share with friends 🙂

  878. cassymack says

    I would buy those awesome leopard boots Pinterest told me to posted about. I dream about them. But with one income and four kids and a husband they are not in the budget

  885. Goodbyebreadandcheese says

    Love that scarf! I have it in the blue and green and it is definitely a new favorite! I would buy a pair of Hunters and a new diaper bag that doesn't look like a diaper bags if I won the gift card!

  893. Laura Huang says

    Those Joe's Jeans look incredible! With the gift card, I would buy those and then the glitter studs for my best friend! I would also buy some comfy pjs for my sweet grandma. Thank you Shay for this giveaway! Fingers crossed!

  898. Gail says

    I would really want to buy some boots and pjs, but now you've got me considering jeans too! Already bought the Kate Spade glitter earrings (in opal and black…) and love them!!

  902. Aleena Acuna says

    I would buy my sister a sweet Christmas gift cause she helped me recently move out into my first apartment! She's my best friend and her favorite place in the whole world is Nordstrom ��

  908. Ridhi says

    That scarf is adorable. I would definitely buy that for pretty much every woman in my life. Goes with all things fall and winter!

  914. Lauren Williams says

    Winter coats for the whole family!!!! Our first snow iz coming today and I'm having a major mom fail moment…no coats yet. 😉 i've got last years ready today….. slightly too small. Hahahahahaha

  933. Alliebroy says

    I'm having a baby girl in a month so I would definitely buy some new post-pregnancy winter clothes- jeans, sweaters, cute pair of flats!! :))

  936. Kim says

    I'm thinking about purchasing some Christmas jammies for all of us (I have 3 adult children and a son-in-law). It would be fun to join the little ones, as they always wear theirs on Christmas morning.

  944. mfriend says

    Thank you for the giveaway! I would buy matching Kendra Scott necklaces for my mom, sister, 2 sister in-laws and myself! So fun:) ~Megan

  959. Carla Latona says

    I would love to win this gift card so that I could get some amazing gifts for my family but also a little something for myself that I've had on my Nordstrom wish list for a while!

  968. Jenny says

    I have the navy/maroon scarf and love it. I have been looking for a navy shirt to wear with it and the one you posted looks perfect…..I'm fixing to purchase it!

  976. StaceyWalden says

    I love the look of those new Joe's jeans! They look similar to the Wit & Wisdom skinny jeans…how would you say they compare? Do they have a good amount of stretch? Thanks!!

  977. Megan says

    My mother has Stage IV breast cancer and I was inspired by Manda's talk this morning. Thank you so much for sharing. That obviously puts this next comment totally into perspective (to say the least), but I would buy new black jeans and a new pair of booties! Thanks for the opportunity!

  993. Kristen Sass says

    I'm currently 5 months pregnant but if I won the giftcard I just might have to buy myself some jeans for after baby. I, like you Shay, don't really enjoy being pregnant. Love my babies, hate the process to grow a baby. So anything to show me its almost over is a blessing! So yes, I'd treat myself to non-maternity jeans…and maybe a scarf ;).

  997. Katherine Samstag says

    I would buy Christmas PJ's for all of my family members to wear around the holidays… And maybe a new pair of tall boots and a new comfy winter scarf! Thank you for doing these giveaway 🙂

  1001. Brandi says

    Christmas gifts galore!! All the ladies in my life could be covered, It would make me so thankful in this time of giving to take care of my sister, mother in law, sister in law and a few lucky teachers.

  1015. Dani Lee says

    I want to buy some new jammies for my Mom for Christmas, and then something special for her 60th birthday which happens to be December 31st (likely some Kendra Scott jewelry and a nice scarf)! This card will all go for my Mama's Christmas/birthday gift!

  1026. Amy says

    I would buy a Michael Kors trench coat I've had on my Nord's wish list for awhile, and a pair of glitter studs for my friend's birthday!

  1041. Annalisa says

    I would update my work wardrobe (and maybe get some comfy pjs as well). I'm short so I'm always looking for jeans that are comfortable and fit lengthwise.
