Welcome to my blog. Here I document my passion in style and beauty. I hope you have a nice stay!
All in Fashion
I have always hated puffer coats. They make me look (and feel) like a marshmallow and quite honestly, I was always able to find warm enough coats that weren't puffers to keep cozy. Though, sometimes you just need the down, waterproof, snow coats. Luckily, I have noticed that there has been an influx of fashionable puffers coming out!
To celebrate the best posts of the year, I thought I'd do something different and instead of my favorites from 2017 (you can see all my favorites here), I thought I'd do yours! The most popular posts from each month are below, and one of them is actually the most popular post of all on the blog!
Merry Christmas! Here are some of the best after-Christmas sales this year. I have often found that these sales are better than Black Friday sales, and you get steeper discounts.
I have never liked over-the-knee boots. There, I said it! (seems sacrilegious in the blogging world, doesn't it?? haha) I don't hate them, but they are not something I consider a staple in my closet. I'd throw them into the trend bucket more than anything.
I bought this shirt on a whim during Cyber Week sales, and am shocked at how much I love it! I thought it'd be a cute pattern shirt to add into my work rotation, but it'll be worn a lot more frequently.
The beaded details on this skirt are of course what caught my eye, and I love the neutral colors! It is made incredibly well, as Club Monaco items usually are. I have fallen in love with CM's skirts lately - they are great classics, but have a fun twist to keep it modern like ruffles, layers, and fringe.
Black Friday has always been one of my favorite days of the year. It follows a great holiday where I spend the entire day with my family, you get some great deals, and it was always a day for my mom, my sisters, and I to "bond" while we shopped. This year we are actually spending the holiday apart, so I will be shopping in my PJs, but I still have a plan!
A huge trend this season is velvet skinny jeans - especially in rich neutrals and jewel tones. I loved this grey/purple/black color combo and how it could dress up a basic look by adding a luxe vibe. Plus, it's a color that will go with almost anything!
Two of the hottest patterns this season are plaid and herringbone, particularly in outerwear. So of course I was excited because I bought this coat late last winter! I'm so excited that it's back this winter and in two other colors as well.
'Tis the season for sales! This 3-day sale by Shopbop (last day is Thursday, Nov 2) is particularly great because it has great basics and classics that almost never go on sale! I'm talking Clare V's leopard clutch, white Equipment silk blouses, and Rag & Bone booties! At up to 40% off, it's definitely a sale worth taking a look at.
If there's one pair of booties you need to buy this season, it's this pair by Schutz. I purchased them a bit ago during a sale (as seen here) and wear them with evvverything.
You guys. These pants. First off, they're only $35 right now so head here to shop if you're eager!
One of the trends I am sooo excited for this fall is the satin skirt! They can be crazy sexy, but can also be dressed down and are work-appropriate.
One of the biggest trends for fall is the bomber jacket. At first I didn't think it would be a trend I'd participate in this season. It adds a sporty, edgy vibe to an outfit, which is not usually my style. However, when I saw this jacket with side zips, I thought I'd try it out.
Happy Monday, friends! I took a step back this weekend with my wardrobe and evaluated what it really needs instead of continuing on with impulse purchases. I tend to buy with my heart and not with my head, so I will end up with a lot of cool items, but I need some basics to tie them together.
Why is this the forgotten post? Because as I was going through my memory cards, here I found a photo shoot that I did and apparently completely forgot about, because it was shot in June. Haha!
