Weekly Sale Finds

Happy Wednesday, friends! I normally try to find some great sale items for you each week, but this week it just didn’t work out because living life is more important! So below you will find one sale option, my top sellers & some codes that I currently have for you. I hope to find more great deals for you next week! You can always check out my Instagram, because I do share there more frequently than I do blog posts.

Anyone else a big Apple Watch fan?! I’ve been obsessed with mine & using it like an accessory piece for years! I stumbled across DotOutfitters’ darling Apple Watch bands & couldn’t get enough of them!! Not only are we doing a giveaway for one of you to win $50 store credit (woot woot!!!) but she’s also offering a 15% off discount code (SIMPLY15)! Check out my Instagram post to see how to enter our giveaway (a winner will be chosen on 5/4 & announced via Instagram).

These ones are some of my favs!!

last week’s best sellers...

I know most of these pieces aren’t on sale, but they were last week’s best sellers so they’re worth sharing!!

Give me all the bright colors for spring & summer!! This tank top t-shirt dress is all kinds of wonderful. It has pockets & a high neckline & (regardless of the wrinkles) is actually pretty flattering! It comes in a few other color options, but I thought this bright yellowy-orange was super cute for spring & summer. I’m wearing a small & would say it fits true to size.

I get questions about these heels every time I wear them so I figured I should share them again! I got them last spring for my masters graduation ceremony, so I’ve had them for almost a year. I love the wavy detailing because it makes them so unique. The heel isn’t too tall, but it’s also enough that I actually feel like I’m wearing something. They’re SO comfy & feel great on my feet! I’ve worn them SO many times throughout the year & am always surprised by how great my feet feel when I take them off. I would say they run a little bit small. They have a bunch of other color options that I’ll definitely take advantage of if I ever need them. They’re super affordable too which I love. It doesn’t get any better than these!

If you’ve been around here this whole school year, then you know that in August I became kind of obsessed with skorts. Skorts are a really big deal in the school I work at — pretty much every single female staff member wears them! I have searched sooo long to find a good quality skort that I felt comfortable in & that fits me well. Last year I bought a black one & wore it almost every week, especially on game days! I saw that Target came out with this year’s version of the skort I love, so you know I had to buy it. & now I’m going to have to get it in every color because I love it so much! I’m wearing a small & would say it fits a tiny bit oversized — I usually wear a medium in most bottoms & this small fits me perfectly. It has deep pockets as well as built-in spandex shorts. My school has three flights of stairs so I’m constantly going up & down & really would like to avoid flashing my students lol so this aspect of the skort helps me to feel secure & covered!

I have found the sandals I’m going to be wearing ALL SUMMER LONG!!! These super simple two strap sandals are so beyond comfy & effortless. They are just as comfy (if not more) than rubber Birkenstocks & I feel like they can be easily dressed up as well which is a perk that rubber Birkenstocks don’t have. This is the chestnut color & I love it! They come in a ton of other brown shades as well & I’m totally eyeing the black color. I know I’ll wear these all the time when I’m working at the sno cone shack!

This was my Easter Sunday outfit! It was super chilly so I had to wear a denim jacket that day but I thought it still was a great look! It was a big hit with all of you too!

*Cue the YouTube video of Cher asking to hear a little commotion for the dress here!!!

I almost didn’t get this one for two reasons: one) I thought it was a little too much, & two) I didn’t think it would look good on my body. Wowza was I wrong! Not to toot my own horn, but I think it’s incredibly flattering!!! I absolutely love the bright color & the eyelet details on the sleeves. Between the flutter of the sleeves & the cinched / tied waistline, it is so slimming! I’m wearing a small & would say it fits true to size.

discount codes...

Y’all know I am SUCH A SUCKER for a graphic tee!! Oliver&Otis totally hit these ones out of the park! Their t-shirts are super trendy & their colors are so vibrant. I love it! They’re also super soft & great quality. They have a bunch of Christian options that I love to wear to church with a turtleneck underneath, or a denim jacket. You can use ALLI10 for 10% off their site now through July!! Get all your spring & summer goodies now! I’ll link to their shop here.

I got a package in the mail last week from a sweet follower — Leslie from August Candle Co. She hand makes these beautiful candles & I was just stunned by the details of them! I’ve never seen anything like it. They smell delicious, but they’re also super cute for decor because they’re so unique. She’s also offering a discount code for y’all to get 10% off for the month of April! My code is ALLI10 — happy shopping!

Y’all seem to love the quick & easy ways to make a little extra cash on the side like I do, so I have three free apps to share with you today! The first is receipthog. I’ve been using it for awhile now & just got notified that I can cash in another $40 just for uploading my receipts! You can pick from the three options from the picture on the left. The picture on the right shows how the coin system works. It’s the same for each pay out option, I just chose PayPal this time. You can even link your email or Amazon account & it will automatically pull electronic receipts from there as well. My parents use this too & it’s the best! You can get five spins (a way to earn coins to redeem for cash later) by using my referral code: kasp3507. I’ll link to the app here!

The second one is called GetUpside. This is an app that gives you cash back on gas (as well as some other stores including restaurants)! You claim the reward for the specific gas station, upload your receipt, & voila! It’s literally cash back for getting gas — something we all have to do! You can use my referral code (NVHGZJ) to get 15 cents / gallon back for the first time you get gas! I’ll link to this app here.

The third is paceline! I’ve been using this app called paceline for awhile now & I’ve really been loving it. Every week, it challenges you to get 150 exercise minutes (only tracks a max of 50 mins every day so you can’t do 150 mins on the last day) & it rewards you with a little gift card if you meet the goal. Most weeks I choose the $1 giftcard to Amazon — both of my parents do this too & we use it towards buying books for our kindle (we all share the books since we share an Amazon account). Some weeks it’ll bump you up to $5 so I’ve gotten a few of those to Target or Starbucks in the past. Even though it’s a small amount, it’s like free money for working out!! Say less. My referral code is SMALLTOWN & if you sign up under me, you’ll automatically get $5 when you complete your first week! I’ll link it all here, you’ll probably have to use your phone to sign up, just FYI!

I’ve loved jewelry & accessories ever since I worked at a local boutique while I was in high school. I didn’t wear much in college (because every day was leggings & a T-shirt lol) & once I started working, it was so fun to rediscover my style! Sapphire Clay Co. has been my absolute favorite place to get my clay earrings from! They're so light that I forget they're even in my ears!! They're adorable & such fantastic quality. She recently sent me some from her Valentine’s Day collection & they’re too cute not to share! Kennedee is offering y'all 15% off anything from her shop using my code Alli15! Eep what a steal for y'all!

Etsy shops

Y’all I truly couldn’t love this tee more!!! Between the message & the trendy design + colors, I’m obsessed! I also really love supporting small businesses which makes this tee that much sweeter. Kind people truly are my kinda people! ALLI15 will get you 15% off anything in her shop — you can shop TheSUDCo’s Etsy shop by clicking here.

For those of you that work in a school setting, you know that lanyards are basically like another accessory — at least that’s how I see them! I’m always down to add a new one to my collection. This one from MilosbeadsBySamantha is just darling & totally matches my aesthetic — it goes with practically everything in my closet! It’s super light & comfortable. I love that it’s neutral, but the wooden beads add a little pop to my outfit. Plus, the beads that say “counselor” are just my absolute fav!! I stinkin’ love it! You can use code SIMPLYSMALLTOWN for 10% off! Get one for yourself or the educator in your life! & be on the lookout this summer because we may or may not be doing a giveaway with one of these. ;)

Two of my favorite things in one post — neutral bracelets + supporting a small business! Traci was so kind & easy to work with. People like her are the reason I love supporting small businesses! She’s got tons of different sets to choose from & they’re such fantastic quality. You can use my code ALLI20 to get 20% off your order from her Etsy shop, ArmCandyBraceletsbyT!

I share lots of clothes with y’all, but accessories are just as important — they can really spice up an outfit! When my hair isn’t looking exactly how I’d like it to, these knotted headbands are the absolute perfect fix, plus, they’re darling!! This black leopard ones if my fav! You can use my code (SIMPLYSMALLTOWN20) to get 20% off TheKnottedShopMTL on Etsy!

I love this simple grey one, too!

There’s something about personalized beaded bracelets that I just love — I can’t get enough of them! They can be really sweet little reminders that come just at the right time by looking down at your wrist, plus they’re cute, too! I got this bracelet in light grey so that it matches pretty much everything I own so I wear it everyday. Mine says ‘counselor’ which is not only my job title, but a big part of who I am as a person. You can use my code (ALLI10) for 10% off your entire purchase + free shipping on orders $35+ from the LouisandFinn Etsy shop. Last year I got some for my sisters that said “worthy” & “enough” because I wanted them to remember that they are both of those things!

“If speaking kindly to plants helps them grow, imagine what speaking kindly to humans can do.”

As a school counselor, promoting kindness is something I really try to embody in my professional life as well as my personal life. What a beautiful world we could live in if everyone chose kindness a little more often! I absolutely love this t-shirt & the message it conveys. Michael from NarwoodClothier offers 50% off from his Etsy shop almost daily!! Supporting small businesses that share & reflect my same values is just about as sweet as it can get!

I’m not sure about y’all, but I’m stinkin’ pumped that football season is back!!! I’ll be honest & admit that I totally jumped on the Chiefs bandwagon last year. ;) I’m super excited to watch them again this year & I’ll get to do it while wearing some darling new game day gear from a darling momma’s Etsy shop!

I’m obsessed with these!!! I love how they look a little bit worn because it almost makes them look kind of retro! They’re made on unisex Gildan brand sweatshirts which is my favorite brand. I got a medium for a little bit of an oversized fit so that I could wear them with leggings & have my booty covered, but they look darling with jeans, too!! This one is so fun & unique!

This one is my FAV!!! Leopard + football = love! My sisters are trying to convince me that all three of us need to share these sweatshirts because they love them just as much as I do! The best part of all of this is that Ashley is offering y’all 10% off from her shop using my code (ALLI10)! Y’all know I love supporting small businesses, so if you’re in need of some fall Chiefs gear like I was, SweetMommaBlair is your gal!

eat to evolve

Since I’m just getting back into the swing of things with school starting up again, I’ve been sooo crazy busy! As a single girl, one of my least favorite things to do is cook & meal plan. I must not have inherited the “wife material cooking” gene! I truly believe that the meals I don’t have to prepare, honestly taste better lol I always tell my mom that after I eat at her house! I’ve used Eat to Evolve for over a year & am so stinkin’ excited that I now working with them!!! I almost always have one of the on-the-go meals for my lunches at school. Just throw them in your bag with some yogurt or fruit & you’re set! Some of my favorite dinners include the bbq brisket burger with sweet potato salad, the buffalo chicken mac & cheese, & the pork carnitas with chayote. So much flavor, great portion sizes (I can usually get two meals out of each if I add a salad & some fruit on the side), & they all freeze really well!

You can use my code (ALLIRICE20) or go straight to their website (where my discount is automatically applied) by clicking here to get 20% off your first order!!!

liquid IV

Y’all know I’ve been obsessed with liquid I.V. for years! Their packets have tons of health benefits, including multiplying your hydration & giving you electrolytes + vitamins. This stuff is legit. I honest to goodness feel SO good after drinking these! They recommend you pour it into 16 oz. of water & I love how much flavor each of the packets have. My all time favorite flavor is lemon lime — you can taste both the sour flavor & almost a little bit of salty from the lime. My second & third favorites are tangerine & watermelon! I know that I don’t drink near enough water as I should, so I drink one packet a day, sometimes more depending on what activities I’ll be doing — working out, partaking in adult beverages, being outside in the sun for a long period of time, even if I have a migraine. The packets are really easy for on-the-go life as you can throw a couple in your bag & pour them into a water bottle or tumbler whenever you’re ready.

& y’all, I’ve got good news for ya! I have a code for you to get 25% off + free shipping! My code is SIMPLYSMALLTOWNBLOG! If you’ve never tried their products before, now is a wonderful time to dive in, & if you’re as hooked as I am, then now is a great time to stock up! Click here to be taken to their site!

red aspen nails

If you’ve been around here for awhile, then you know that I love to always have my nails done. I’ve had my own shellac machine for 5+ years & I’ve built up my collection of colors, but I’m always down to try new things. I’ve seen tons of bloggers post about Red Aspen Nails — a up & coming company that sells glue-on nails, amongst other beauty products. My mom, sisters & I each bought a set for ourselves to try, & we all loved them so much that we ordered a bunch more sets — you can reuse them which is SO nice! Mine stay on for 10-15 days! If you’re interested in getting some for yourself, you can go to my page here to order & I’ll get some commission off of it! Y’all know how much I appreciate all of your support!

loopy phone case

Y’all know I’ve loved my loopy phone cases forever! All of my family members + a lot of my friends love their loopy cases too. It’s extremely comfortable & helpful for a girl on-the-go. The rubber loop is easily adjustable & really feels good on my knuckles while I’m holding my phone. It’s also really nice to be able to slip one finger through when trying to carry all of the groceries into the house, because let’s be real, I’m a one trip kind of girl… even if it makes me lose feelings in my arms lol. I just got two new ones for spring & summer & they’re too cute not to share! The sage green color is so crisp & clean looking with the white loop. I’ve become a huge fan of this color lately & I think it’ll look great in the fall too. & of course, my fav of the two is the spring meadow pattern. Like honestly, does it get any cuter or more perfect for spring & summer?! I think not. Now here’s the biggest bummer… the spring meadow pattern is currently sold out. BUT! If y’all love it as much as I do, you can select to be notified when it’s back in stock & if enough of you sign up for that, I bet they’ll bring it back! You can use my code (SMALLTOWN10) for 10% off a loopy case! These have been great gift ideas for my family in the past! Click here to be taken to their site.

verb energy

If you follow me on Instagram then you’ve probably seen me share about Verb bars before & I don’t really know why I haven’t talked about them on here yet. Verb bars are little organically caffeinated bars that have the equivalent to a shot of espresso! They are 90 calories & come in tons of flavor options. My two favorite bar flavors are cookie butter & lemon raspberry. I was super excited when I heard that they were coming out with an energy drink mix! They sent me a raspberry lemon flavor in the drink mix to try & I was pleasantly surprised! They’ve come out with some other flavor options as well (cherry lime & mango tangerine), but I really like this one. My only complaint is that it didn’t mix up very quickly with my water & was somewhat chunky unless I mixed it in really really well. You can order a starter kit & get $10 off using my code which I’ll link for ya here!

skinnydipped snacks

When it comes to choosing between sweet or salty options, most of the time I go for sweet. Anybody else with me? I recently got to try some delicious new sweet treats from SkinnyDipped — a business founded by women that make yummy snacks with real ingredients (only 4 g of sugar!!!), so they’re healthier for you than some of your other go-to options! I tried the milk chocolate peanut butter cups with my sister & we actually both like them better than Reese’s cups!! You can now use my code (SMALLTOWN10) to get 20% off of these yummy snacks by going directly to their website here or even on Amazon!
