MY HOLIDAY WISHLIST

Kicking off my holiday shopping series with my own personal wishlist...

CLICK TO SHOP

1. North Face Jacket. I realized last week while having dinner with my mom & sister that I have had my winter coat for over 6 years. It's still great, but it's also probably time for a new one and what better time than Christmas. My sister has a North Face jacket that is longer in length and she claims it is life changing. Let's see if she's right ;)

2. Show Me Your Mumu Tunics. I think these t shirts are the cutest & even better, my sister and I can each wear one! Hint -This would be a great gift idea for your sister or BFF.

3. Sleepyhead Thermal PJ's. I ask for a new pair of pajamas every year. It's something that I always need, but don't typically purchase for myself. I love this thermal pair with their cute winter pattern.

4. Rose Gold Nike's. I think these sneakers are so, so, so pretty! I already love the Nike Thea style (I own red & black pairs) and the fact that this pair is rose gold is the icing on the cake. I can see myself wearing them all the time to dress up a basic outfit. They also come in silver & metallic navy.

5. David Yurman Bracelet. I just want one more DY bracelet and then my arm party is complete, I promise.

6. Desk Calendar. My coworkers can attest to the fact that I am calendar obsessed. I currently have five 2016 calendars on my desk at work & am already looking for replacement calendars for 2017. I love this Kate Spade gold desk calendar, now all I need is 4 more ;)

7. Free People Scarf. I've been wanting this scarf for a couple of months now but thought it would make a great Christmas gift so I waited. I'm so glad I did because now it comes in pink! I love this soft blush shade and I can only hope the fabric looks as cozy as I think it is.

8. Ugg Boots. The last time I had a pair of Ugg boots was in college and I really miss being able to slip them on when I'm running out to the store or going to grab breakfast in the mornings. Nowadays Ugg has so many boot styles so they are anytime but boring. This pair actually has a zipper closure on the inside of the leg. I love this color as well.

9. J Crew Coat. This coat has been on my radar for a loooong time now and I think it's finally time to invest in one. Clearly this classic coat style isn't going anywhere and while it's available in every color of the rainbow (seriously, it comes in 11 colors), I think this sand color is a timeless shade that I will wear for years.

10. Brown OTK Boots. I have a pair of black OTK boots & a pair of burgundy OTK boots so all that I need now is a brown pair. I love that this Dolce Vita pair is more sturdy than my other 2 pairs and I love the western seam details. I also love this pair by Vince Camuto that is on sale for under $200.

What's on your list this year?

EASY SHOPPING OUTFIT

Hope you all had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving! I am still full from yesterday's meal & am still giggling over our family time playing 'Heads Up.' Has anyone else played? It's a fun game for the whole family & our family got a kick out of the charades!

On to today's post which is all about shopping!! In case you are venturing out to the stores on Black Friday, a. good luck & b. you need a great outfit to keep you going all day. My outfit of choice for a day of shopping is usually something like this: light layers for going from your car to the stores, sneakers for comfort, a cross body bag so I can go hands free and an easy-on, easy-off outfit for trying on clothes. This midi dress is so comfy & is made of the softest, stretchy material.

HORIZONTAL STRIPES & HINTS OF METALLICS

Is there any one out these who doesn't love stripes? Seriously, they are the best pattern around: coming in every color combo, mixing with other prints perfectly and looking flattering on everyone. Today I'm pairing my horizontal striped sweater with some fun metallic accessories for a little bit of glamour.

I decided to add a bit of masculinity and unexpectedness by pairing these pants & sweater with loafers instead of ballet flats or booties. J picked out these loafers for me years ago at the Coach outlet and I have never been able to part with them. I was lucky to find them in the back of my closet because loafers. are. back.

To tie the look together, I finished off this outfit with a pair of statement earrings. I rotate the same few dainty pieces of jewelry so it was fun to switch it up with these dangling earrings from Banana Republic. I always avoid buying oversize earrings because of how heavy they get and how they pull on my earlobes but these are backed with leather making them shockingly light weight and wearable for hours on end.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving filled with family & lots of good food!

PS. A sweater and pants with some metallic or sparkling accessories would make a great outfit for tomorrow's festivities.

WEEKEND STYLE

Showing off a typical weekend outfit for me today. It's all about casual comfort on the weekends, which means lots of comfy sweatshirts & sneakers. How cool is this sweatshirt??? I am in love with the bold color & the fact that it has my initial! With a simple black & white color palette, the red sweatshirt really stands out.

Hope you all have great weekends!

STATEMENT SHOES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Today I'm focusing on my favorite thing to shop for: shoes! Maybe it's because I can wear them more often (cost per wear!) or because I can always count on them fitting and looking good, but there's really no type of clothing that I love more than a good shoe. It's my favorite thing to shop for, receive, and wear! While so many people focus on getting a new top or a new dress for the holiday season, today I'm taking an alternate route and sharing my favorite statement shoes for the holiday season.

COZIEST SWEATERS UNDER $50

One of my favorite parts of the fall, besides the gorgeous scenery of the falling leaves, is the clothes! While summer is definitely my favorite season overall, fall is my favorite season to dress for! There are so many options for layering and introducing new cozy pieces into your wardrobe. I think one thing we can all agree on is that on those chilly days of fall, there is nothing better than a cozy sweater.

FALL FLORAL MAXI DRESS

Usually around the same time that I put away my shorts and swimsuits for the summer, I put away my maxi dresses. I tend to think of a maxi dress as a great summer piece to beat the heat on those dog days of summer, but more and more lately, I have been seeing people transition their maxi dresses into the fall season by styling them with layers or finding long sleeved versions. I was so excited to receive this long sleeve, floral maxi dress from Banana Republic and even more excited to try my hand at styling it for the fall season.
