Friday Favorites

Hello Friends,

This is just a quick round up of things that are my wishlist as I’ve been browsing online. Happy Friday!

The first one is just a cozy Jcrew sweater from their Spring line in just a cheerful color. I also like the green option they have.

Two.

These earrings are gorgeous in person. I’m not sure how comfortable they would be as they are rather large, but I’m debating these as I think they would look gorgeous with a simple black dress.

Three.

Classic everyday piece that would look great with a work appropriate WBD or a breezy striped shirt for summer.

Four.

This camel color I think works with everything, dressy black pants, comfy blue jeans on a casual Friday, or to dress up a pair of shorts.

Five.

I could see myself cozying up with this on a long flight. Looks soft and easy to pair with many shirts and sweaters. Is a great mix and match piece to throw into your suitcase for a chilly evening.

Six.

I love the scalloping edging on this. Would look great with a simple skirt or a nice summery dress. The red color is out but they still have a few choices left.

Seven.

I’ve been drawing to larger watches lately, and I like the shape of this.

Have any fun weekend plans? Like any of the above items? Let me know!

Jcrew fall arrivals

Posted on September 19, 2016 by Classy & Fabulous

Hello!

I was looking at things on J.Crew recently and I WANT ALL THE THINGS. They have been hitting it out of the park with their Fall Arrivals, and I might have ordered one or two things in between grading work. Oops!

Shirts

Shoes

Outerwear

Anything above that you liked and would add to your closet? I seem to go through cycles at J.Crew where I love everything one year and the next find the patterns too bright/busy.

Love,

4th of July Outfits by foreverclassyandfabulous featuring short skirts

I am so looking forward to 4th of July this year. We will be back from Nantucket just a few days before, and I hope to have a few tasty cocktails by the pool before watching the fireworks. I have a special red and white and blue striped shirt that I basically save all year to wear on 4th of July and I love it.

Do you know what you are wearing and or doing for the 4th? Do you have any fun 4th of July plans with friends or family?

Love,

Straw Totes

Posted on May 16, 2016 by Classy & Fabulous

One thing I’ve been keeping my eye on to pick out for summer is a new straw tote. They are perfect for loading up a bunch of things for a day at the beach, or running a few errands. I found a few at different price points, that all scream summer to me! They also seem so adorable, and perfect for different summer events, like picnics, or a light summer lunch out with girlfriends.

How do you feel about straw totes? Do you have one that you use when you spend a day at the beach with friends?

Love,

I’m inspired by Mackenzie of Design Darling (which, if you don’t read, you totally should!) and Carly of College Prepster in creating a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. 1001 days, which is 2.75 years, is the enough time to do things without it being a total bucket list.

All In-Vested

Posted on October 23, 2013 by Classy & Fabulous

A few weeks ago, the Roomie and I hit the mall on the first day of a long weekend. We did some serious damage! The Roomie walked away with a super cute red vest from Gap, and she raves about it. I was jealous then, and still plan on getting a red one myself at some point. I picked up my first down vest last year from J.Crew and now I am totally on the vest train! Pinterest has been showing me all sorts of cute mixes of collared shirts, sweaters and vests in cute but bold color schemes. I like wearing vests because they keep me warm in the morning, but later in the day they are easy to take off when it warms up.

I have been loving these vests, and have really been holding back on getting every single one of them!!

J.Crew

Gap

Banana Republic.

Do you have any vests? Do you love them as much as I do? Do you like any of these vests? Would you get any of them?

I am thinking about making a board on Pinterest solely for outfits involving vests!

Love,

Crisp Mornings, Pea Coats, and Desserts to Die For

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Classy & Fabulous

It is now cold in the mornings when Roomie and I get up. I have been putting on a cardigan and a warmer jacket just to get through that first hour or so until we are all set in our classrooms. The days are still warm so its all about wearing layers. For example, yesterday, it was about 50 when we left for work and about 84 during the middle of the day. I pulled out my pea coats and while I usually pick my go-to black option, I have my eye on a picking up a new one. The only problem is, which one? They are all pretty cute!

J.Crew Majesty Peacoat- Charcoal

ShopBop-Toggle Coat

Michael Kors

I saw this on a blog that I follow and I keep coming back to it. It sounds very impressive to make, but I imagine it tastes fantastic!

How is the weather for you? Are you enjoying fall so far?

I LOVE Pajamas Sets

Around early summer time I started seeing these cute pajama sets, and now I can’t get them out of my mind. They look so clean and crisp. I also love the matchy-matchy feel. And some have stripes!
