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)

Top 10 Blog Bestsellers of 2018

January 7, 2019

Hello & Happy New Year friends!

Took a much needed week off last week from blog posts to recoup after a crazy holiday season! Now, I’m back and ready to take on 2019 with you all!

Last week, I took some surveys in my Instagram stories about content you’d like to see on the blog this year. I got a lot of amazing responses. So much so that I’m spending most of the early parts of this week sorting through it all and planning Q1 of 2019. But, I can tell you, there will be a lot of try-ons and continued sale round-ups. I’m glad to see we all love a good sale 😉.

In addition, I’m going to try to branch out and incorporate more of our favorite retailers like Target and Amazon. I already share a lot of my Amazon favorites with you all, but need to work on finding more clothing from them! And, in case you missed it, I uploaded a Target try on to stories yesterday (saved to my highlights). It’s safe to say it was a huge HIT. I’ll be rounding up that try on in a blog post Friday so you can refer back to it on a desktop. For now, every outfit is also linked on this page.

Today, I’m sharing your top 10 most purchased items in 2018! A few top items, specifically from Target, are no longer in stock so those aren’t included. As far as retailers, your most shopped retailers were Amazon, Nordstrom, Loft and Target. I think it’s every style blogger’s goal to align her shopping with the interests of her audience. Well, we obviously all share the same taste since you all know those are some of my favorite retailers as well! 😋

Without further ado, the top 10 blog bestsellers of 2018:

1. Amazon Scarf (color “B Light Red”)

3. Sherpa

6. Cuff

8. 90Degree by Reflex Leggings

9. BP Eyelash Hoodie

10. Loft Flare Sleeve Sweater

What was your favorite from 2018?

Stay tuned Wednesday for a 2018 year in review post and a preview of what’s to come this year!

The Cozy Gift Guide

November 15, 2018

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today, we are starting our Gift Guide series! That’s right, more holiday content coming your way. About two weeks ago, I asked for your help in determining what gift guides you all would like to see. I got a lot of requests for general gifts for your friends, family (siblings, in-laws, parents etc), significant others as well as office gift exchanges. So, every week leading up to the big day, I will be releasing a new themed gift guide. In addition, you can find general gifts for “him, her, in-laws, decor, beauty” etc listed under the Holiday tab. I will have specific gift guides for some of these categories, but in case you wanna get a jump start on your shopping or want more ideas, you can head here (FYI these will be updated tonight, and I’ll add to them throughout the season!).

For this post, I’ve rounded up the perfect items to give to your favorite homebody in my cozy gift guide! These gifts would be perfect for a girlfriend, sister, mom/MIL or friend! I’ve gathered up some top picks in the collage below as well as more items under that. I’m detailing my favorites under the collage in case you need help deciding!

And, as a reminder, Thanksgiving is ONE week from today (what?!?!). In case you missed it, you can find 10+ outfits that are perfect for Turkey Day here. Many are eligible to order online for in store pick up so you can get them before the holiday!

Nespresso with Aeroccino: Hands down, the best Christmas gift I ever got was my Nespresso! I got it last year from my parents and use it everyday. It’s definitely a bit pricier, so this would make the perfect group gift or splurge for yourself. But, it will pay for itself! I only get coffee out a few times a month now, and I look forward to using it every morning. It literally brightens my day! And, it ships Prime 😏. I found these super cute mugs to go with it, but if you follow me on the gram, you also know I LOVE these mugs. You can get 15% off the ones from Etsy with code INSTA15.
Faux Fur Blanket: Cozy and oh so chic, this blanket travels with me from room to room! It’s under $30 + Prime ship so makes for the perfect, affordable gift. It’s very luxe and feels much pricier than it is! Plus, if you live in the North, you can never really have too many blankets, am I right?!
Face Masks: No self-care night is complete without a face mask! These would be perfect to give as a gift to your best girl or girlfriend. They also would be great to divide up among friends and give as separate gifts. Sephora has a ton of great beauty gift sets that would be great to divide up this way to get the most bang for your buck!

What’s on your wishlist this holiday season? I’m eyeing up this cozy cardigan – I heard it’s like wearing a cloud. Sign me up!

And, because we are nearing the biggest shopping week(s) of the year, a reminder that you’ll be able to find Black Friday + Cyber Monday sales guides under the “Holiday” tab on my blog. These days can be very overwhelming, so let me be your guide! I’ll have a roundup of sale picks from our favorite retailers as well as a list of the sales happening at most major stores! Thank you all for shopping through my links this holiday season! The small commission I make from your purchases helps to keep this blog going, and I appreciate it more than you know!

The Best Women’s Winter Coats & Accessories for 2018

November 14, 2018

Hello Friends!

Today I’m sharing a much requested roundup of women’s winter coats & accessories! Similarly to my Nordstrom post from last week, I’ve paired this with an Instagram try-on session where I’ve tried on and reviewed each piece. I find it’s especially helpful to see coats on someone prior to purchasing, so I hope you find this helpful! This try-on is saved to my profile highlights under “Winter Gear,” and I’ve included photos of each item below. At the very bottom, you’ll also find a roundup of other similar items!

In terms of retailers, I often head to Colombia or North Face when I’m looking for a great quality down jacket. Otherwise, Loft, Old Navy, and Nordstrom have great dressy options! I do tend to size up one (to S) in most jackets to layer over sweaters and have included sizing details below each image. You can find the details for the outfit I’m wearing here.

I’ve sorted the items into down jackets, dress coats and accessories. I am waiting on two more down jackets so check back in a few days and those will be added! Most coats are under $150 too!

DOWN JACKETS

Mid-Length Down Jacket – Mine is 5 years old, this one and this one are the same brand & similar

I size up one in this brand to wear over sweaters! Wearing S here!

Full Length Down Coat – Mine is 9 years old! Perfect for students or those in the far North! This one is very similar and under $150!

DRESS COATS

Peacoat – XS (TTS) – only $39 and featured in this post

Red Coat – XS (too tight for sweaters, size up one!) – under $65

Fur Lined Utility Coat – SP (oversized, size down unless you plan to wear chunky sweaters!) – on sale for $72!

Coat – SP (TTS) – 40% off with code STYLE (pictured above)

Coat // Petite Version – XSP (size down one, runs large!) – 40% off with code STYLE (seen in this post)

ACCESSORIES

Grey & Black Color Block Scarf | Blush & White Color Block Scarf | White Scarf (old – similar, similar) | Black Beanie (same one as the grey in all the photos) | Fleece Lined – Grey Beanie with Gold Pom

More Coats & Accessories:

Holiday gift guides go live tomorrow AND we are about a week out from Turkey Day! If you need outfit inspo, I did a round up last week you can find here!

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!
