Moody Floral

If there is something this girl can get behind every season, its a good print. You all know I love plaid, but I am also pretty obsessed with floral too. A little pattern can add a lot of personality to an outfit, and one of my favorite ways to add a pop of print is in a scarf. So, when I stumbled across this scarf on Nordstrom's website I knew I had to have it. Since it was available at my local store, I ordered and did the in store pick-up. Sometimes you just can't wait for shipping, ya know?

SCARF (similar, this one sold out)| TIE-FRONT SWEATER | VEST (similar, mine is old) | LEGGINGS | BOOTS | PURSE (small version, mine is sold out)

I posted this sweater in light pink a few weeks ago (here), but I have to say the olive version is just as good! Its that super soft jersey fleece material and even though I dressed it up a little more in the other post, it can definitely be dressed down more casually. My favorite weekend outfits are ones that look great and put together, while secretly feeling like you are wearing pajamas, like this sweater paired with leggings here.

I'm loving the olive, black, and cognac combo, it just feels rich and classic. My vest is from a few seasons ago, but luckily they bring back a similar one every year and this year was no different. And these are my all time favorite leggings, I buy multiples at a time. They are super affordable and I can get a good amount of wear out of them for their price point, so I don't mind when I wear through them. I would suggest checking them out, especially if you are looking for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg (on sale now for $5!), but are still comfortable and pretty durable. I have like 6 pairs currently.

Lastly, I must apologize that my scarf sold out like crazy and so I am linking another one. If you can find this one in stores, it is definitely worth a buy! I love that the colors just kinda go with a lot of other muted tones and I'm a sucker for anything black, so that never hurts. The other one I'm linking is reversible with a plaid back (winner winner) and has such pretty colors too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Party Ready in Velvet

Velvet is everywhere right now and I am loving it! One of my favorite part of adding something velvet to an outfit is the extra textural dimension it gives. Pairing this velvet dress with these lace tights and patent leather heels, to me, is such a fun mix of rich textures, begging to be worn this holiday season. I love how luxurious the velvet looks with these vintage style stockings too! So glam.

VELVET DRESS (on sale with code CYBER, in black here) | LEOPARD COAT (on sale with code CYBER) | TIGHTS | SUNNIES | BLACK HEELS (similar option, mine are old) | REBECCA MINKOFF MINI MAC (similar, mine is old, another option here) | NECKLACE (similar, mine is borrowed from my mom)

Cyber Monday sales are still going strong! Have you guys shopped til you dropped yet? Well, if you need to take a little break from shopping for others, I would highly recommend snagging some holiday dress apparel for you and the family while the sales are still available. For instance, this holiday party ready look. The burgundy velvet is so pretty for the holidays and my tights practically scream special occasion.

My velvet skater dress is currently on sale for 30% off with code CYBER, and while the sizes are selling out like crazy for it in this burgundy hue, it also comes in black, and I am seriously considering picking another up! With 30% off, this dress is only $42 and would be a great option for any upcoming Christmas parties or even for NYE. I've also linked some of my other favorite velvet dresses that are also currently on sale in the shopable links below.

And can we talk about this coat? Hello, gorgeous! I fell in love the moment I found it online and bought it almost instantly. I sized down one size and it fits perfectly, even with the bulk of a sweater underneath. The shape is also swoon worthy. The belt cinches the waist and the cut on the bottom half are so flattering, plus the length is perfect for keeping your bum warm. Oh, and the leopard print. Duh. It is too good! I have received so many compliments on it already. And did I mention it is also 30% off with code CYBER? #rundontwalk

Lastly, I just wanted to give a little non-sponsored shout out to Target for upping their tights game! I mean, this pair is kind of a game changer. I have always loved tights (ever since Rory on GG went to college and started sporting them all the time, remember that?) and I love that these are a little dressier and more elevated than just a plain black pair. Target currently has so many chic options, and so many style reminiscent of the 1950's, I know, because my grandma told me she used to have some just like these. Anywho, I got my normal size in these and they fit perfectly.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

A Touch of Leopard

One of my favorite ways to get an otherwise simple outfit ready for date night is by adding a cute clutch, a pair of heels, and a statement necklace. They quickly can turn a normal casual outfit into something a bit more special. This grey twist-front sweater and jeans are a great example of a casual outfit, throw on sneakers, a tote, and ball cap, and this is the perfect run around on the weekend look. Change out the accessories, and it goes from a day look to a great no-fuss night look in like two minutes.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and the start of a 4 day weekend for me. Since work has been so crazy busy lately, I am definitely looking forward to some time off; especially time that can be spent in my pajamas eating leftover pie. We will be watching the Lions game tomorrow and having dinner with my sisters and my mom. After we will go shopping together and then have dessert late at night at our house.

I can definitely see myself throwing this grey jersey fleece sweater on with a pair of leggings and black knee-high or OTK boots to wear for tomorrow. The shirt is super comfortable and the material is amazing. It also comes in a ton of colors, and I have been eyeing the red one for the holidays! At under $50 it won't break the bank either.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving Eve!

Perfectly Pink

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays; I love gathering with friends and family to share a meal and reflect on all the things we are grateful for. Plus, any holiday where pumpkin pie is served, is a winner in my book. This year, we already celebrated our first Thanksgiving dinner the last Saturday in October, since my grandmother is always out of town for Thanksgiving Day. We also celebrated Friendsgiving two weekends ago, it was potluck style at our home and so much fun. And, on Thanksgiving Day, we will have a smaller dinner with immediate family while watching the Lion's game at my mom's and then head to our house for dessert. After dinner we'll head out for some Black Friday shopping together. I love our traditions and how they reflect the things we value and appreciate, especially time with one another.

TIE-FRONT TOP | JEANS (40% off) | BOOTIES (20% off) | ROSE GOLD SUNNIES | TASSEL EARRINGS | BAG (similar style, its 50% off!) | NECKLACE (similar, mine is old)

Today, I'm finally sharing one of my favorite tops this season. I have it in 3 colors and love the style and material so much. This blush pink long sleeve shirt has the cutest tie-front detail, and the jersey fleece it is made out of is seriously the softest thing ever! I also have it in olive and burgundy and wear them all the time (probably more than I should admit). If you love to be super comfy and still look put together, this is a great option, its basically like a "fancy" sweatshirt. I highly recommend them!

Also a great deal? My booties! They have been pretty popular this year, so I am sure you have seen them around instagram or on your favorite blogs. They have a chunky block heel which makes them easy to wear and walk in, the cutest ankle reveals and perforated detailing, plus they come in 3 colors and are on sale. What more could a girl want? I ordered 1/2 a size up and they fit perfect.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
