Weekend Target Try On

January 9, 2019

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’m switching up my post schedule a bit from what I mentioned on Monday because some items from this weekend’s Instagram Target try on are going QUICK, and I want to share the goods here ASAP! And, I know there are a few of us (myself included) who prefer desktop shopping over mobile. 🤓

ICYMI, I found so many goodies at Target that I shared in Instagram stories on Sunday. The videos are all saved to my “Target” highlight on my Instagram. I’m including all outfits below with sizing deets for easy shopping! FYI – everything is under $30!

I linked all items below each photo! And, I’ve included my denim and booties in the “shop the post” widget below too. FYI my booties are currently 20% off with code HELLO2019 along with all of my favorite shoes on this page!

Top – XS (TTS)

Cardi – S (sized up one for an oversized fit); Tank – S (sized up one for a looser fit)

Cardi – XS (TTS); Tank – S (sized up one for a looser fit)

Chambray Button Up – XS (TTS – tunic length); leggings – XS (TTS)

Fall Boots: How to Stay on Trend & in Budget

October 24, 2018

Is it just me, or are boots one of the best parts of Fall? Sure, the beautifully changing leaves, fall scented candles and family holidays are great. But, the shoes. 😋

I have a hard time not spending copious amounts of money on shoes this time of year (sorry Kevin!). Every pair just seems necessary! And, there are so many styles nowadays it’s hard to narrow down exactly which ones you need! But, I’m here to help!

Today, I’ve rounded up a TON of great Fall boots and booties at various price points so there’s something for everyone! Just a warning, from sock booties, to knee highs to over the knee boots – you’re likely not going to leave this post empty handed. 😉

First, let’s talk about some trends to watch for and some good go-to retailers for your next pair of boots! According to the Fashion Bible (AKA Vogue), some key boot trends to watch for this fall are western boots, knee highs (like I’m wearing here), block heels, kitten heels, combat boots, animal prints, and the 80’s vibe (think sock boots with skinny heels). Of all these trends, knee highs, block heels and combat boots are likely to be the longest lasting because they’ve already been around for years. And, they’re simply more practical. As much as I love the leopard bootie trend, it doesn’t go with everything like a good camel colored bootie would. But, don’t get me wrong, I’ll likely be picking these up before the month is over – LOL.

In terms of retailers, I shop at three different retailers depending on how much I’m looking to spend. I typically go to Target if I’m looking to try a trend but stay on a tight budget. For example, I picked up these sock booties (a la the 80’s vibe) from Target a few weeks ago. They’re right over $35 so it’s a good way for me to try the trend without breaking the bank! I typically go to DSW or Nordstrom if I’m looking to spend a bit more on great quality shoes. As I’ve said before, bags and shoes are something I am always willing to spend a bit more on because I expect them to last multiple years.

Below, I’ve broken down my top Fall boot & bootie choices by price – under $50, under $100 & above $100. To see the price for a certain item, simply hover over the image. To shop it, click on the image!

Summer Style Trend: Yellow & Gold

June 29, 2018

Happy Friday everyone!

What a crazy week! Did it fly by for you too? I swear it was just Sunday night, I blinked and now it’s Friday. After a very very busy weekend (talking minimal sleep but tons of fun), Kev & I are looking forward to having a few weeks of staying in the Cities. We’ve been traveling so much the last few weeks that’ll it be so nice to be home for a few weekends!

I have a super cute outfit lined up for today! But first, did you see that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalogue came out this week?! Last year was my first time blogging the sale, and it was equal parts overwhelming and exciting (lol!). I’m doing a full post on how to prep and shop this amazing sale next week and have a few other special things lined up for it but feel free to peruse the catalogue now for some weekend reading! But, get excited!! This is literally the BEST sale of the year (and we all know I love a good sale), and it’s happening in just two short weeks! Nordstrom releases a ton of Fall arrivals all on major sale. Usually sale styles are end of season pieces but not in this case! It’s the perfect time to stock up on Fall and Winter essentials at insanely low prices! 😍

Now onto this outfit & a huge summer style trend – yellow! 💛

You may have noticed that yellow is having something of a moment this summer. It seems to be everywhere! But, it’s not a color that looks great on everyone. Given my fair skin and blonde-ish hair, it can sometimes make me look very washed out. So, when I came across this golden sweater tank at Nordstrom, I had a feeling it was the answer to my problem! Instead of washing me out, golden yellows tend to give fair skin like mine more of a glow and enhance my tan.

I love that this sweater tank is super lightweight. The weight, along with the darker hue, makes it perfect for wearing out at night and transitioning into the Fall! This is easily a piece you’ll get a lot of use out of and can wear year round, which makes it worth the price ($60)! It also works for the office or going out. You can layer a blazer or jacket over it for day wear and take it off come night. I don’t know about you, but I’m always a fan of tops that can do “double duty” (work for the office & play!).

I’m wearing a XS, and it fits TTS. I paired it with one of my fave pairs of shorts (only $29 – TTS) and some booties. Don’t be afraid to change things up. Booties and shorts are a great, unexpected combo! They’re a perfect pairing for a night out and really take any outfit to the next level! I left the top untucked here, but it also looks great tucked in like I did in this outfit.

I have a busy day planned out, and we’re headed to dinner tonight with friends! Have a great Friday everyone!
