Pops of Color

It’s no secret that the majority of my wardrobe is black…and I love it that way. Call it being lazy…call it being practical…call it being a New Yorker. But adding pops of color in your outwear and accessories makes everything so much more fun. Don’t you agree?

Pink Teddy Bear Coat- J.Crew / Edie Maxi Crossbody- Rebecca Minkoff / Laguna Chelsea Boots in Pebble Grey- Sam Edelman

Adding some color really adds something special to any look. I have long black coats, black purses, and the same Sam Edelman Chelsea boots in black…but I felt like standing out today, just a little bit.

What I adore about this bag is the practicality of it. Crossbody bags are always high on the list of my favorite things…but this one has a removeable crossbody strap so you have different options on how you wear it.

Running to grab some coffee in the early morning was never so effortless yet so pulled together. I’m obsessed with teddy bear coats in general…but this pink one just screams my name. It’s super warm, comfy, and bold (but in a good way). It’s different than all the other teddy bear coats I’ve seen out there. Why blend in when you can stand out? Am I right or what???

I want to know, how do YOU wear color in your looks?

Old Dresses & New Hair

Do you ever leave something in your closet and just not wear it no matter how cute it is? Want to hear somethings crazy?…………..

dress- ModCloth, ballet flats- J.Crew Factory, clip in extensions- BFB Hair 21” in Butterscotch

For some reason I have had this adorable dress sitting in my closet for over a year and haven’t worn it yet. I got it for my birthday in March of 2020, right as COVID was hitting…which in turn meant working from home, not seeing people in public, and wearing legging…lots of leggings. So this dress just sort of hibernated in my closet.

But I figured I might as well break it out now. Why not?! Adding this dress to the rotation of all of my plain, boring, basic, cotton dresses will jazz things up a bit. I mean this print is just too cute…animals playing tennis. Love it!

Also, I wanted to show you guys my new clip in hair extensions I just got recently from BFB Hair. I’m kind of obsessed with them. I’ve been wanting these for so long…and BFB Hair just had their 20% off sale that they have twice a year. So I grabbed these in Butterscotch. Initially I ordered a few sample colors to make sure the color matched, and this shade is so exact I cannot get over how natural it looks.

What do you guys think of the long locks?

Nightgown Around Town

I wear my nightgown around town…okay not really! But boho nightgown style dresses are all the rage right now. Say bye-bye to your leggings and welcome the nightgown dress to your wardrobe. It’s not only super cute, but it’s really comfy too!

boho nightgown dress- UIMLK available on Amazon, pink booties- ASOS

I’m obsessed with this dress. it’s light weight, has a bold yet fun print, and even has pockets. This particular dress which is available on Amazon only costs $27.99! It also comes in 36 different prints and colors, so there is a style for everyone’s taste. I might have to pick up a few more because they are all so unique.

What do you think of the nightgown dress style? Would you give it a try?

Also, don’t forget to wear your masks! I took these photos early morning on an empty street with nobody around. I may be fully vaccinated, but when I’m in contact with others I make sure to mask up. I love the fabric masks from Old Navy which I’m wearing here. I must have 30 of them!

Three Cool Ways To Wear A Faux Fur Leopard Print Coat

I have to admit, I love leopard print (almost as much as I love stripes and polka dots). When I saw this Cupcakes and Cashmere Tinsley Faux Fur Leopard Coat on Bloomingdale’s website I knew I had to have it. Also, I got it wayyyyyyyy on sale…which makes it even better. The good news for you is that you can get it for 15% off (when you use the code SAVEMORE at checkout). In addition to their promo code I made sure to use my loyalty reward card (it’s free to sign up) and I paired my Bloomingdale’s Ibotta discount.

LOOK #1

I’m starting off by keeping it casual, comfy, and quirky. I paired my coat with some matching flats in the same print. Throwing on some cut offs over tights and a bold red lip elevates this simple style.

LOOK #2

I feel that this outfit is still casual but slightly sophisticated. I pair my skinny jeans with a polka dot top and some laced up booties. Add on a velvet puffy headband and it pulls the entire look together.

LOOK #3

This last look totally stands out. Pair a full skirt, a thin turtleneck, bright tights, and bold booties for a style that is sure to get you noticed.

I got it in a medium and would say it’s true to size. I can’t wait for the bitter cold to end so I can wear it soon. It’s been crazy cold in NYC and only a long puffy jacket will do at the moment (this coat isn’t super heavy). Looking forward to wearing this next week!

What do you guys think of this coat? Are you as in love with it as I am?

On Thanksgiving We Wear Velvet

I’ve been wearing tee shirts and leggings a little too much lately that I thought that today (Thanksgiving) would be the perfect day to dress up a little.

dress- Zara (old)

I wanted to dress up but still feel cozy. This velvet dress I picked up at Zara years ago is so perfect. It almost looks like a robe (maybe it is one?!) and I adore this shade of plum. The bell sleeves, geometric pattern, and tie detail give me all the ‘70s vibes I can handle.

I’m all for dressing up today but not for doing my hair. Can ya tell? HAHA! It was raining all morning long…so I had to pick my battles.

I wanted to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. My husband and I are staying home this year and having a Thanksgiving feast alone. We still have been avoiding people (you know, pandemic and all). We’ve decided to make ham instead of turkey and have a zillion sides. Just looking forward to a relaxing and yummy day. Also…if you haven’t seen I posted my homemade cranberry sauce recipe on my IG. So stop by and check it out.

What are your plans today?
