Welcome to my blog. Here I document my passion in style and beauty. I hope you have a nice stay!
I'm pretty sure this is one of my first yellow dresses, and it's definitely the first yellow sequin dress! It's under $50 as well - a great price to try it but without fully investing.
It's been a bit since I've done home try-ons, so I wanted to share some recent items I've ordered!
have said it before and I'll say it again: Iceland is one of my favorite places on earth. It's a magical wonderland where you can't help but pull your camera out every 5 feet. My husband and I recently went back for a second time this past December, and it has now become the trip to beat for us.
The trend of cropped jeans I just knew wouldn't look good on me. Until I found Madewell's updated denim - the love affair continues on. Their new denim has a few new variations - from short to tall to curvy to maternity. I snagged the short version of these cropped bootcut jeans and I am a little obsessed.
There are a lot of Friends & Family sales going on this weekend, and a lot of sale on sales as well! Retailers are bringing out the spring styles and trying to get rid of the winter styles, so it's a great time to grab some boots or a coat on super sale! On top of that, you can snag some new styles for the warmer weather at the Friends and Family sales going on.
Because this is the first outfit post in a long while, you're getting two-for-one. A good basic t-shirt is sometimes an underestimated item of clothing, but when you find one, you never look back. They can be dressed up and down, are easy to wash, flatters everyone, and are easy on the wallet. It's the ultimate wardrobe staple.
Wow, it sure has been a while since I’ve posted here on the blog! And even on social media I have been more absent... This break was unplanned but honestly probably expected. Starting last year, Maggie à la Mode slowly morphed from a fun side hobby to do in my spare time, into a regimented job that took up all my time. It took me a while to uncover why - I love my blog and the opportunity to share what I love with the world, but my passion had simply slipped away.
Getting to visit Iceland is a dream. Getting to visit twice, and have the opportunity to roadtrip around the entirety of the Ring Road was the trip of a lifetime, but there were a few things I wish I had known ahead of time. They added unnecessary stress and conflict that could have been easily avoided.
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.
Sunday Riley is a brand that I have heard of throughout the years, but haven't had a chance to really love yet. I have no problem spending money on a product I know will work for my skin, but that upfront cost to try it out is what stops me most of the time. With a 20% off coupon, I finally snatched up the smaller size of the Luna Sleeping Oil to try.
It's rare to find someone nowadays without a smart phone. They are almost essential to daily life now, and I know I'm not the only one that feels naked without it! I always like to change up my phone case every once in a while based on a my mood or the time of year. That's why a phone case by CaseApp is the perfect gift for anyone!
We're now less than 2 weeks until Christmas (what?!) but that's plenty of time to still grab some gifts! Beauty items are always great and easy to get, and you still have time to order in time for delivery before Christmas!
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.
