Fair Isle Fun

Happy Friday, friends! Fair Isle prints bring out the winter nostalgia in me. It’s a striking design that always seems to bring about joy with images of sipping hot cocoa by the fire side, decorating Christmas trees, sledding down a hillside, or watching my friends hit the ski slopes.

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Today’s look is all about this plaid tweed coat and icy cool blue tones. To start off with, how gorgeous is this plaid coat from Chicwish?! The powdery blue color in the coat is what I started with and went from there. I typically choose warmer tones and gold, but felt that silver and light blue would blend beautifully together. I found the coat to fit true to size and went with an XS. It’s currently on sale for 25% off now too! This tweed coat will undoubtably elevate any look and keep you stylish all winter long. When you think about it, a coat is so important since that’s what most people see you in while you’re out and about. I hope everyone had a great Friday-Eve!

New LC Lauren Conrad Handbag and Fine Jewelry Line

White Lace Dress c/o (Similar) || Jean Jacket c/o || Pink Heels || LC Lauren Conrad Mini Tote c/o || Sunglasses || LC Lauren Conrad White Gold Necklace c/o || Christian Paul Watch c/o || Rose Gold Love Bangle || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Jackie Kennedy Emerald Unity Band || Lip Color: Ava ||

Today is a very exciting day! One of my favorite brands, LC Lauren Conrad has recently launched a new handbag line and beginning in March, a new fine jewelry line. I remember when there were rumors of a handbag line being added to the apparel at Kohls and I could not contain my excitement. The handbag collection will be refreshed each month with brand new styles including clutches, crossbodies, satchels and totes. The inspiration for the handbags includes vintage details, feminine, easy shapes, marrying back to the apparel in the LC Lauren Conrad brand. Prices will typically range from $39-$89, which is a steal for a well made bag. I'm personally loving the mini tote I have above. The blush shade with rose gold hardware and floral design is simply stunning! It's so versatile for spring and summer.

As I mentioned, along with the new handbags is also a fine jewelry line. Jewelry styles will include rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and cuffs in either 10 karat gold, rose gold or white jewelry. The types of gem stones included will be diamonds, green amethyst, morganite, blue topaz, and purple amethyst. Prices for the jewelry line will range from $340-$2,525. I cannot wait to see the entire jewelry collection once it launches in March. The necklace I'm wearing above is fabulous for everyday wear with its delicate details and diamond accent in 10k white gold.

Both collections will be available in select Kohl’s stores nationwide and on Kohls.com

Red, White, and Blue Tweed Blazer

in ,

Happy Wednesday, friends! It seems that I've been having quite a thing for tweed blazers lately and can you blame me really?! They're one of my favorite layering pieces when the weather starts changing and a heavier coat is not longer needed. They always feel incredibly chic and give a nod to the lovely ladies of the past. While I typically think of a tweed blazer or jacket in the fall, it can also be worn as a transition piece into the spring as long as the colors feel light and airy. This jacket would also be fantastic for those cool summer nights where a little extra warmth is needed. The red, white, and blue color scheme has nautical and patriotic vibes all rolled into one and for only $40, its a piece that won't brake the bank. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the jacket too. The fix is a bit boxy, but I've found that to be the norm when selecting tweed jackets. I'm wearing an XS, which fit perfectly.

Chanel Inspiration

in ,

Happy Friday, friends! This look was super easy to put together and at a great price tag too! Those are always the beat kind aren't they?! The look has that classic Chanel feel to it with clean lines, tweed, and the prettiest little bow tie. Now, the tie looks like its a part of the jacket, but its actually on the dress. The jacket buttons up right to the bow. The faux fur on the jacket gives the outfit a whimsical touch too, always a favorite of mine! The dress comes in at $24, while the jacket is $36. An absolute steal for both and with pieces that can be used again and again. I'm wearing an XS in both pieces.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! We're supposed to be getting some warmer temps so if you live near by then make sure you get some time to spend outside.

Spring Time Feeling

in ,

Whenever the weather turns nice, I instantly feel the need to pull out all of my dresses and skirts. Spring fever hit yesterday and boy did it feel good! I do have to say that so far we have had a mild winter, which I love, and have even had some warm days mixed in with the blustery cold. I'm not complaining, haha. With some warmth in the air, I grabbed this peony printed midi skirt along with this striped bow tie top. I've always been a big fan of pairing blue and pink together. It's one of my favorite color combinations and one that I use quite frequently. Pretty much every girl I ran into while out also loved the skirt. You know its a winner when that happens! For sizing, I'm wearing a xs and found it to fit perfectly at my waist.

Plaid on Plaid

Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope everyone had a fun weekend and if you watched the Super Bowl, that you enjoyed the game. I didn't really see any outstanding commercials this year, but the last half of the game was pretty exciting to watch! How about it being the first time ever in Super Bowl history that the game went into overtime too?! I'm a sucker for little historical facts like that. They get me every time haha.

I'm not going to lie, it was absolutely freezing outside the day I wore this outfit. I honestly should have had gloves on because my hands felt like icicles. Plaid is one of those patterns I'm guessing everyone has at least one item of in their wardrobe. It's a classic and has become a staple to wear in the fall and winter months. It's also a pattern that mixes well with others, say leopard, polka dots, or itself as I have above. I love how vibrant the pop of yellow is against the backdrop of blue, black, and white. It brightens up the whole look and stands out from the crowd. Over the knee boots are a lifesaver in the colder temps too. My legs definitely thanked me for having them on! Not only that, but they create a sleek and streamlined appearance making your legs look longer than they actually are. Win win for us shorter gals!

Weekend Style

in ,

Happy Friday!! This Sunday is Superbowl Sunday, which means hopefully a good game and some pretty awesome commercials. I'll be rooting for the Patriots. Anyone else excited for the big game??

A combo I'll never tire of is stripes with anything haha. Honestly, you can never go wrong with stripes. I layered up with a military jacket topped off with my camel coat. I know I had mentioned before how I typically never used to wear sneakers, but lately companies have really been stepping up their game in the sneaker department. There are so many chic choices now a days! These are a subtle pink and fit true to size.

Just a quick post for today. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and if you're watching the Super Bowl then I hope you have fun watching the game! Go Patriots!!

Winter Florals

in ,

Happy February 1st friends! In the blink of an eye, the first month of the year is already behind us. It's crazy how fast time moves. Is everyone sticking to their New Years resolutions or at least thinking about them? Usually by this time you've already tried to do something or its been a forgotten thing of the past, haha. I was honestly never one to even make resolutions so there's no judgement from me. This month also features Valentines Day! It's always been one of my favorite holidays to celebrate whether you're with a significant other or not.

Perhaps with the holiday on my mind, I dressed up this past weekend in shades of blush with darker florals for the winter season. I honestly have had this dress for a little while, which it is on major sale right now!, but just had not photographed it yet. I've worn it to family gatherings, coffee dates, pretty much any social gathering you can think of. it's a fantastic dress to take you from fall, to winter, and into spring. How about these shoes too?! My eyes nearly bugged out when I saw them. That little fluffy pom pom on the toe is everything. If you do not wear high heels often, these may be a bit tricky to wear. They're on the higher side. They do take some time to break in too. Once I wore them around for a few hours, they felt much better on. Sizing was also true to size for me.

Vintage Vibes Nautical Style

in ,

Happy Tuesday, friends! One of my favorite ways to be inspired is to watch either classic movies or look at vintage fashion ads/photographs. The 1940s through the early 1960s has always been my favorite time periods, especially for fashion. When it comes down to it, I'm totally a vintage babe at heart. I know many of my friends on here are also! This look has a vintage flare with nautical style. Nautical looks catch my eye right off the bat. I'm always drawn to them, whether they be preppy or whimsical, though nautical styles tend to always lean more on the preppy side than anything else.

When re-creating a vintage inspired look, its important to not include too many vintage items or else you look dated, unless that's what you're going for! My hat is from an antique shop and actually a vintage item. The red lips and pearls also give off a vintage flair. Without the hat and pearls though, this look wouldn't be as vintage-y and would have a very more modern edge to it. It just goes to show how a few accessories can completely change an outfit!
