Kate Spade Surprise Sale!

August 24, 2016



Nothing makes a Tuesday morning better than waking up to a Kate Spade Surprise Sale in my inbox! There are a ton of beautiful pieces for really excellent prices. This deep plum bag below is actually drool worthy and currently in my cart. I'm thinking I may need to treat myself to a new fall bag, especially since I'm not shopping for the month of September! Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the sale:
      

Happy Wednesday!

Golden

January 12, 2015










Sweater: Michael Kors (similar). Skirt: J. Crew (similar). Tights: Kate Spade. Booties: Aldo via Zappos. Purse: Forever 21. Necklace: Loft Outlet (similar). 

Aren't these tights adorable? I love that they're fun without being too in your face. The perfect compliment to a metallic sweater! And what about this little purse?! It's so baby! I can't get over how cute it is. I bought it in red too :)

How was your weekend? Mine was excellent. Mark and I made dinner for my mom, watched lots of movies (watch The Intouchables on Netflix--so so good!), had drinks with a friend, spent time with family, and watched the Golden Globes of course :)

Happy Monday!

A Dressed Up Holiday Look

December 15, 2014











A shrug is perfect to go with a fit and flare dress. I always feel like I'm ruining my outfit when I wear a long cardigan because it takes away from the shape of the dress. This one gives you a little warmth without sacrificing style ;)


Dress: Kate Spade Saturday (on sale!). Shoes: Forever 21. Clutch: Jessica McClintock (similar). Earrings: Old Navy (similar). Shrug: Ann Taylor (similar). 

Hello and happy Monday! I am completely smitten with this dress. It's perfect for a cocktail party or a fancy holiday party. I have a family wedding in January that I will be wearing this to and I can't wait to take her for a spin! If you're looking for a dress to wear to a holiday party you can never go wrong with gold and black. It's festive without being in your face. Here are a few other fun options: one // two // three // four

Another thing to keep in mind when going to a holiday party is a host/hostess gift. Something small to let your hostess know you're thankful for all of the work she put into party planning. Some great ideas could be a fun bottle opener, a yummy candle, or even something as simple as a thank you card. Treat by Shutterfly has a great collection of holiday and thank you cards for reasonable prices. 

Have a good one!

Holiday Party Attire

November 11, 2014


I know some of you may be thinking it's a little early for this post, and you're not wrong. However, a combination of getting a few inches of snow yesterday and my love of planning ahead lead me to create this post. Personally, I start thinking about what I want to wear for holiday parties any time after Halloween (it's the type A in me), so I thought I would share a fun round-up of what's been catching my eye. A lot of fun, holiday items (especially anything sequined) will sell out the closer we get to Christmas, so it's never too early to start planning! Personally, I bought this sequined top in black and am planning an outfit around it. I also just bought this gold dress for a wedding after New Years! After Thanksgiving (yes, I have some sense of control) I'll be showing you a few different holiday styles that I plan on wearing this year. Can't wait!

Fabulous Finds

October 10, 2014

1. The coziest looking sweater from H&M.
2. Apparently I'm having a loafer moment. Love this whimsical pair from Nordstrom
3. This Celine look-a-like is only $32 from Forever 21
4. Cozy boot socks from J. Crew
5. The cutest plaid purse from Kate Spade Saturday
6. More loafers from Steve Madden. Can't go wrong with leopard!

Hello and happy Friday! We made it through the week! This weekend is going to be a little crazy. My friends and I are going to the Zombie Pub Crawl for the first time. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like: dress up like a zombie and go drink at bars. Apparently 30,000 tickets were sold though, so it's going to be insanity! Maybe I'll post pictures of my zombie look on Monday ;)

Fabulous Finds

1. The most comfortable loafers from Zara.
2. A chic way to store your jewelry.
3. I know I'm a little late to the game, but I always buy my new planners before the start of the school year, and not at the beginning of the calendar year. This Kate Spade pretty is on my radar.
4. The perfect pair of boyfriend jeans from Madewell
5. Obsessed with this coat from Zara. If I could justify the price, I would live in it. 

Happy Friday! I'm still in California and this weekend we're planning to make a day trip to Sausalito, heading to the beach, and dining al fresco. What are your plans for the weekend?

Striped Shift

May 21, 2014






(I can't believe how blonde my hair looks in these pictures! No idea where that came from...) Dress: Target. Sandals: Target. Hat: Parc Boutique. Purse: Kate Spade (old, similar). Necklaces: J. Crew (similar), J. Crew Factory. Sunglasses: Ray-Ban.

You can't go wrong with a striped shift dress. Every girl should have one; they're so classic and versatile. What I love about this one in particular: it's not too short (as shifts tend to be #helloawkward), and I wore this all day and it didn't wrinkle at all! That's one of my least favorite things about spring/summer clothing...they tend to be made out of materials that wrinkle easily. You should know, I'm a hardcore ironer, so wrinkles drive me insane #analretentive.  

P.S. tomorrow I'll be heading to Chicago for a fun little weekend trip! Be sure to follow along.
