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!

One.

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!

Currently Lovin’

Hello loves,

I had a great weekend. A good mix of friend time, exercise and family time. I love long weekends! Were you able to fit in a little bit of time for everything that you wanted to? These are all the things I’m currently wishing were in my closet.

 

I tend to wear a lot of black pants to work when I do choose to wear pants, which is mostly in the winter time when it’s too chilly for skirts and dresses. I think these flats seem perfect with black pants for fall, and I love a good cap toe. I’m trying to decide which I like more: the burgundy, the beige, or the grey! Which do you like? Which would you were the most to work?

 

How cute would this purse be with an all black outfit? Or a cute plaid shirt and jeans? I’ve been looking to invest in a cute blue purse, but haven’t yet pulled the trigger. I ended up getting my work purse for the new school year from them, and have loved it so far! It’s sturdy, roomy and the navy color gorgeously goes with everything. Do you have a blush purse yet?

It’s starting to be pretty chilly here in the mornings as I head off to work, and even though this sweater is out of my budget (#teacherlife) I love the look of it.

Off the Shoulder Sweater

The off the shoulder sweater look is a notch above a regular sweater, and can take a great classic creamy sweater from night to day easily.

What do you think about these pieces? Do any of them belong in your closet?

Love,

Sun Hats

1

About three years ago I fell in love with a Panama hat at J.Crew. I wouldn’t normally have liked or even bought something like that, but I don’t know, something about that hat spoke to me!

And surprisingly enough, I wear it decently often, to the beach with friends, on holiday with my family, to the park on a sunny day. Then two years ago when my dad and I visited L.A. I was looking for a big sun hat for long days at the beach. We found one at Manhattan beach as we were walking along that I liked, really simple with a black ribbon and bow.

Now, I can’t see to walk into a store without finding another hat I like! I like that they hide my sometimes messy wind-blown hair, they keep my nose from getting sunburnt, and they seem to take my outfits a step cooler.

I’ve been looking to add another sun hat, and there are so many great options out now. I might just have to pick one up.

I want all of them! Are you a hat person? What do you do to keep your face from getting too much sun?

Love,

Black Friday Shopping and Two Christmas Trees

Posted on by

The Roomie and I went shopping on Black Friday.

Most people avoid going out on Black Friday like they would catch the plague if they did (aka my father, brother, heck my whole family) but my Roomie and her brother John were both bold enough to tackle the crowds with me. It was a first, since for the past few years I had worked at Sur La Table for the whole week basically.

Let me say this, it is much nicer to be a shopper than a cashier. I found a few great gifts, but mostly found things for me. Normally, my mannishly large feet limit the shoe options, but the gods were smiling, and I really lucked out! I was able to cross a few good things off my wishlist.

I couldn’t resist picking up a new KJP bow bracelet.

It matches my new Sperry’s.

I am very excited to wear this all to work in the next few weeks. It is just three more weeks until Christmas Break, and wearing some fun things is keeping me going strong.

On Saturday the family, Roomie and I went Christmas Tree Shopping. For the past few years we have gone with family friends on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. They go to a specific tree farm, and have been going for 30+ years. This year, the Roomie and I got a petite tree for our apartment in addition to the large family tree. I am looking forward to decorating this beauty!

It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! When do you usually get your tree? It is usually a family affair?

Toggle-ing All Winter Long

Posted on by

Last year I saw the most beautiful toggle coat at J.Crew. It was a beautiful, but costly coat. I waited for it to go on sale, but it sold out before that happened.

This year, I am determined to get a toggle coat. One of my goals with buying new clothes is to diversify what I have in my closet. I hang my clothes in color order to see exactly what I have, so I don’t buy a 5th white collared shirt (like I did over the summer by accident).

I have been looking for a warm toggle coat, but I need to set aside some time to visit some stores and try these on before I can fall in love with one. But these are the ones currently on my list of coats I love.

Topshop at Nordstroms

Tweed at Macy’s

Teal at New Look

Duffle at Zara

Madison at Modcloth

How do you feel about toggle coats? Do you have any? Any of these colors you think would look beautiful on a blonde?

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! I know I can’t wait to sit back with and relax.

Love,

-S
