Sequin Skirt

Sweater: BP // Skirt: NY & Co, similar here & here // Boots: Chinese Laundry, similar here, here & here // Earrings: Bauble Bar, love these & these // Clutch: Ted Baker, similar here & here // Flamingo Necklace: Jennifer Zeuner, love this elephant! // Pave Bar Necklace: Gorjana

Hello all! I hope that everyone is having a great 2017 so far! I didn’t get quite as much done over the holiday as I needed to, so I’m still playing catch up. Rather than rush through goal-setting this year, I decided to take my time & really think through where I want to focus my energy & how I want to grow this blog. It’s also the beginning of the Mardi Gras season & I am co-chairing my Krewe’s Grand Bal again this year, so it’s shaping up to be a busy January!

I originally picked up this sequin skirt for New Year’s Eve, but think it’s going to be a perfect date night piece too. I especially love that the front is all sparkle, but the back is a comfy-to-sit on, stretch fabric. The best part? It’s on sale for under $20 right now! This black sweater, from Nordstom’s BP line, has been one of my go-to sweaters for our surprisingly warm winter so far. Finally, can we just talk about these earrings? They were on my Christmas Gift Guide for Her & someone took the hint! Patrick got them for me & I am obsessed! Pink, sparkly, & tassels – what’s not to love?

The Zoe Report: Box of Style

January 3, 2017

By now, almost everyone has heard of The Zoe Report’s Box of Style. Every season, it delivers over $400 of exclusive Rachel Zoe picks for only $99! I started receiving the Box of Style this past fall & was immediately hooked! The soft, color-blocked poncho was a game-changer. And let’s get real – if Rachel Zoe says that something is a must-have, then you have to have it. Plus, it’s a chance to get pieces that can’t be found anywhere else. In case you’re undecided, I thought that I would share what was in the Winter 2016 box. Click here to get $10 off your first box!

Everything comes packaged in a chic box. Usually, the box is black, but I like that they changed it up for winter. Each item is individually wrapped in tissue paper, so you the excitement of unwrapping each little gift! It’s the small things in life, lol. Included in each box is a guide with tips on how to use each item.

Dylanlex Zoey Custom Necklace ($200)

How gorgeous is this crystal necklace?!? I tend to lean toward more delicate jewelry, but I cannot resist this statement maker. The length is adjustable so you can wear it as a choker or more of a collar. I wore it recently with jeans & a white button down for some instant glam! I’ll also be pairing it with a cocktail dress later this week. The necklace was designed exclusively for the Box of Style, so you can’t get it anywhere else!

Soia & Kyo Olivia Cable Knit Hat ($50)

We don’t get many days where it’s cold enough to need a warm beanie, but this soft knit one will come in handy when it does! Subscribers got the choice of three colors – black, winter white, or burgundy. I went with the winter white because it’ll go with just about everything in my closet.

Sunday Riley Tidal Enzyme Brightening Water Cream ($65)

Winter weather can be so harsh on your skin. My skin is more dry & breaks out more during the winter, so I’m always on the lookout for something to give my skin a little TLC. I was excited to see this cream included in the winter box. It’s a water-based cream that will soothe & hydrate the dryest skin. It also helps fight wrinkles & brighten dark spots. You can layer it on for a deep hydration mask at home, or wear a thin layer under makeup during the day to protect skin. I love how light it is & it smells sooo refreshing!

D.L. & Co The Zoe Report “Birch” Custom Candle ($50)

I am a candle-hoarder. Seriously, I can’t walk out of Bath & Body Works without a new scent. This black & gold candle is perfect for a winter night, with a woodsy “birch” scent. Right now, it ‘s sitting on the desk in my home office, ready for me to buckle down & do some work! I was really impressed by the quality of the candle, it holds a ton of scent & the jar is heavy glass. Once I’m down with the candle, the jar will make a great holder for makeup brushes!

Dagne Dover Leather Card Case ($50)

Does anyone else have trouble finding a wallet small enough to fit into a clutch? I have so many cute, tiny bags that I love to carry out, but I end up just tossing my ID & cards into the clutch & hoping that I don’t lose anything. This card case holds just the essentials – ID, credit card, some cash – & fits perfectly into my smallest bag! I carried it several times over the break to keep everything together & organized while out & about. When you aren’t using it as a mini-wallet, it’s a chic alternative to a business card holder.

Clinique Lip Color + Primer in Berry Pop ($18)

A deep berry lip is a great winter alternative to the classic red lip. I’d been looking for the perfect color & it turned up on my doorstep! This formula has a built-in primer to make the lipstick go on smooth & last for hours. Anything that combines steps is a lifesaver in my book. The berry color is universally flattering & is saturated to stay true as it goes on. The color + primer also comes in 15 other shades, so I may have found my go-to formula.

Juciy Couture Viva La Juicy Fragrance (bonus!)

As a bonus, each box contained a trial size of Viva La Juicy, a fresh & fun fragrance. It blends berries, vanilla, & jasmine for a floral, fruity scent that will be amazing for spring!

Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale

December 26, 2016

We all know my absolute, undying love for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. But, Nordstrom doesn’t disappoint with their post-Christmas, half-yearly sale, going on now through January 2. I’m linking up some of my closet staples that are on sale, plus tons of other comfy, cozy winter items below!

I wear this Lush ‘Perfect’ Roll-Tab Sleeve Tunic at least once every week. It’s great for layering under a cardi or blazer for work, or on it’s on with some chunky jewelry & heels for a date night. It really is one of the most versatile tops I won, which explains why I have it in at least half a dozen colors. Right now you can get it in 10 colors, for under $30 each!

I got this Dreamers by Debut Cowl Neck Sweater last winter, but it’s available again this year. I can’t stand to have anything tight around my neck, so I don’t wear turtlenecks, but this cowl neck gives that cozy turtleneck feel without making me feel strangled. It’s sooo soft & I always get so many compliments on it!

You can never have too many simple, clean t-shirts. This BP Scoop Neck Boyfriend Tee meets all of my criteria – soft, swingy, & lightweight. I wear them layered under sweaters or on their own.

Finally, I picked up this Lush Twist Front Woven Shirt during the summer’s Anniversary Sale & have worn it so many times. I love the drapey, twist detail on the front & the slightly longer back. The burgundy shade is sold out now, but it still comes in great colors & it’s a steal for under $30!

The final countdown to Christmas is on & I, for one, am feeling the pressure! Today is my last day at work, so I’ll be spending the next few days finishing up my shopping & wrapping gifts – my tree is still empty underneath! Thankfully, I’ll have the week after Christmas to recover from the hustle of the next few days. I’m hoping to spend the time unwinding, binge watching TV, & doing some goal setting for the coming year. I use the Day Designer planning system & shared my yearly goal-setting method here. I’ll probably use the same method this year & will update you in January!

I’ve been on the lookout for a classic camel coat & this one is perfect. It’s the perfect weight for layering over sweaters, comes in 4 winter colors, & is under $40! I love it in this neutral, tan color that works with everything in my closet, but I’m so tempted to snag it in oxblood too. For a weekend brunch, I threw it over a soft white sweater & blush scarf. To spice it up a little, I added my go-to leopard heels.

Terry Moto Jacket

Jacket: Loft (on sale!) similar here (on sale!), here, & here // Sweater: Loft (on sale!) similar here // Jeans: AG, less expensive option // Scarf: Hinge // Booties: Marc Fisher, similar here & here // Bag: Louis Vuitton, less expensive option

How is it already December? This year has just flown by! We’re in full Christmas mode at our house, with decorations up, gift shopping underway, & holiday movies on the DVR. This is my absolute favorite time of year & I tend to go a little overboard! I’ll be continuing my gift guide series over the next few weeks, with ideas for the guys & gals in your life, plus kids & furry friends. You can access all of the guides anytime under the “life” tab at the top of the blog. I’ll also be showing how we decorate for Christmas & sharing some of my favorite places to find holiday decor.

I wore this look last week for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner out with family. By now, everyone knows that LOFT is one of my favorite places to shop – they have such cute clothes for work or play, at great prices. This moto jacket is so soft & fuzzy inside, I could probably sleep in it! It’s like wearing a sweatshirt that’s appropriate for work! I also love how lightweight this sweater is – it works so well for layering. Because it’s so lightweight, the lighter color tends to be a bit sheer, so I always layer a tank underneath it.

It’s almost Thanksgiving y’all! I for one cannot wait to get all of my family together for some good food, cocktails, & Christmas decorating! We’re going to get up early & help prepare a meal at the Salvation Army before heading to Patrick’s parents’ for a family dinner. We always spend Thanksgiving night helping his mom decorate their house & decorate ours the day after. I have been dying to get my decorations out of the attic! I couldn’t resist picking up a few new items at Kirkland’s today, so they’re already out!

I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to spend a fortune to look stylish. I’ve mentioned before how much I love the BP & Halogen brands at Nordstrom. They have quality clothes at really reasonable prices. This sweater is the softest sweater I own! I ordered it in gray today because I’ve worn the black one at least once a week since I got it. Also, these BP faux leather leggings are under $30 & are so comfy! They feel like wearing workout leggings! I’ve never been one to wear hats, but I’m giving them a try since I received this fedora in a Zoe Report Box of Style this fall.

Classic Plaid Scarf

Scarf: Target, more linked below // Tunic: Lush // Jeans: AG, less expensive here // Bag: Coach, similar here & here // Booties: Charles David, similar here // Bracelet: Kate Spade

Welcome back friends! Over the last week or so, the temps have started dropping here! I am so excited & cannot wait to start having nightly fires & cuddling up in warm blankets. One of the easiest ways to stay warm & look chic is to top any outfit with a colorful scarf. I picked up this classic plaid scarf in red, green, & navy at Target over the weekend. I was so impressed with the huge variety of scarves & ponchos available in the store! I love the colors & fringe detail in this one. It really pops over my favorite white tunic, but it would look great over a red or yellow sweater too.

I am off work tomorrow for Veteran’s Day, so today is my Friday & it could not have come sooner! I’ve been fighting a virus all week & am finally starting to feel better. I’m looking forward to the long weekend to finish recuperating & catch up on everything that slid through the cracks this week. Plus, we have our annual Friendsgiving dinner on Saturday, so I’m excited about some turkey & all of the Thanksgiving sides that I love so much!

Pink & navy is such a classic color combination &, as a Southern girl, you can never go wrong by throwing a little gingham into the mix. A fitted, button-down, gingham top is a closet staple that works year round. Throw it on with white shorts for a chic summer look, or layer it with a sweater or blazer for fall. I got this pink sweater last year, because you know I can’t resist anything in hot pink. I’ve linked up some of my favorite pink sweaters from this season above.

It’s a rainy, chilly Monday here! I hope that everyone had a great weekend. I’ve been under the weather & spent most of the weekend curled up at home, so I wasn’t able to get out & enjoy the gorgeous weather much. It’s a really short work week between the election & Veteran’s Day. I’m trying to fit as much in as I can, so I can enjoy my time off.

I wore this look for passing out Halloween candy last week & wanted to share all of the details today. I love a slouchy, oversized sweater & this dolman sleeve one fit the bill perfectly! I’ve been stocking up on blanket scarves because they are such an easy way to add a little color to any fall look. I have these booties in two colors & wish I’d snagged them in burgundy too. I love the open toe & high heel! The brown is sold out, so I linked up some of my other favorites.
