Workout Essentials

With the New Year obviously came New Year’s Resolutions. In the past I’ve blown them off after about a week or so (oh like you haven’t either!) but this year was a bit different. The first month I truly stuck to my goal of eating healthier & exercising at least 3x per week. However as the […]

Oversized

Some of my favorite pieces I own don’t come from the standard woman’s department. I’m a sucker for anything oversized (comfort is key!) so I often turn towards the men’s department for cozy knits or the larger sizes as I did with this outfit. I had been searching near & far for a cute sweater […]

Light Layers

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but neutrals are my go-to lately. I’ve been living in them as well as these pink Hunter boots which add a little something to the otherwise colorless outfit. People have constantly been asking about which boots are best for winter & I strongly recommend Hunter rain boots. They’re weatherproof which is essential this time […]

Currently Craving

Lately I’ve found myself gravitating towards everything neutral. Maybe it’s as I’m getting older I’m starting to actually build a wardrobe instead of just buying in the moment. Or maybe it’s this more so than usual confusing weather that’s throwing me off. Either way, I don’t hate it. This cozy sweater from H&M immediately caught my eye as […]

Winter Whites

I’ve never been one to follow the whole, “no white after Labor Day” thing. I guess when 3/4 of your closet is white clothing you really don’t have a choice but to break that rule. By pairing my white jeans with cooler tones (grey, blue, & beige) they can easily transitions from a summertime staple to a year-round essential. […]

Holiday Attire

There are so many reasons I love this outfit for the holidays. 1. it’s surprisingly not that cold out yet so wearing a dress without tights isn’t half bad. 2. the empire waist is essential for feeling & looking good after a huge holiday meal! 3. the color & style of the dress are perfect for […]

Blue Gray

If I told you how long I’ve been searching for a light blue coat you’d laugh in my face. YEARS PEOPLE. Seriously every single one (& there were plenty of them) was either not the right shape, a shade too light or too dark, way too long, too short, you get the idea. Ok so maybe I was being […]

Burgundy x Blush

The deep hues of burgundy hat paired with the blush pink heels. The rough leather jacket paired with the flirty floral dress. The delicate bow heels paired with a mixed print dress. Clearly contrasting fabrics, patterns, textures, & styles is one of my favorite ways to play up an outfit. Since the fabrics & textures were […]
