Meow Is The Time

Meow Is The Time Mug c/o || Humble Chic Black Tank c/o || Similar White Blazer || Similar Black Pants || Rox N Bunny Necklace c/o || Trending Above Bracelet c/o || LOreal Lipstick || Similar Red Shoes ||

Happy Monday, all! This past weekend was a whirlwind of getting some Christmas shopping done, Christmas errands run, a work Christmas party, having family in, and Ava's baptism with a small party afterwards. It felt great to get so many items checked off of my list, be able to visit with loved ones, and to celebrate Ava's big day.

Now that all of the hustle and bustle is over I can get back to my normal routine, which includes a cup of hot chocolate in the morning during this time of the year. I literally crave it in the winter and especially during the holiday season. I like to wake up every morning, make myself a cup, and catch up on all of my social media. How adorable is this Meow Is The Time mug?! Perfect for anyone who adores of has a cuddly cat. Even Chelsea had to check out this cute little mug from A Cup of Quotes. It's hard not to think of the holidays right now. Even when I'm hanging around the house, I still get dressed up as if I'm going to a holiday event. One thing I love about this outfit is the simplicity of it, yet it looks completely put together and effortlessly chic! A simple black tank with an unexpected white blazer and some pops of red have a flawless and retro feel.

Sequin Pants

Gold Sequin Pants || White Bow Top || Similar Pink Jacket and Here || Dove Gray Heels || Trending Above Bracelet c/o || Karen Walker Sunnies via ShopDitto c/o || Similar Gold Clutch || Teardrop Earrings ||

Happy Friday, friends! I cannot believe Christmas is only 14 days away now! I really need to finish up my gift shopping and get those goodies wrapped up. I'm especially excited since it's Ava's first Christmas. Also, this Sunday is her baptism day, so another reason to be celebrating this special time of the year. I've been getting everything prepared this week for her big day and needless to say, I feel a little worn out haha.

With Christmas and New Years only mere weeks away, my mind has been drifting to thoughts of holiday parties, celebrations, and all things glittery during this time of the year. These sequin pants (actual pants not leggings) are a festive alternative to a dress or skirt and pretty great at keeping you warm in the process! They have an inner lining so the sequins do not feel scratchy and uncomfortable. I opted for a softer look paring white, pink, and dove gray with the glistening gold. Another way to wear these would be with a black top and some black shoes with pops of red.

Anyone else have any special plans this weekend or going shopping for some lovely gifts? Let me know! Enjoy =)

Winter White + Plaid

Look 1:

Shein Plaid Coat <-- Under $50! c/o || Similar White Turtleneck Sweater || White Skinny Jeans || Similar LC Booties || Leopard Clutch | L'Oreal Paris Lipstick || Trending Above Bracelt c/o ||

Look 2:

Shein Plaid Coat c/o || Similar Striped Shirt (with sequins) || Skinny Jeans || Black Loafers || Similar Bag || Humble Chic Zig Zag Earrings c/o || L'Oreal Paris Lipstick ||

There's something so refreshing and crisp about an all white ensemble, that I'm instantly drawn to it. Adding this plaid coat gives the look some beautiful color. Having the plaid against a white backdrop also makes it seem much more striking and instantly draws your eye to it. I've been wearing this coat non stop lately. The red and black plaid pattern is such a fun option to have during this time of the year. Think of how pretty it'll be against a snowy winter wonderland. It's also warm and a nice length for when the temps drop. Call me crazy, but having a little extra length in my coat makes me think I'm a little bit warmer!

The second look I'm wearing is what you would find me in on a typical weekend of running errands, which is what I was doing haha. I realized I was wearing the same coat (literally always wearing it) and thought it would be fun to show it two different ways. How cool are these zig zag ear crawlers too?! They kind of remind me of lightening bolts. They're so comfortable to wear and unique looking. I like that my hair isn't always getting caught in them like most of my earrings.

Everyday Glam

Karina Black Ponte Dress c/o || Humble Chic Coral Wristlet c/o || Similar Gold Sparle Shoes || Humble Chic Horseshoe Earrings c/o ||L'Oreal Paris Lipstick || Similar Gold Glitter Belt ||

 My favorite era of fashion, and really everything, is the 1950s. I love how the women and men would dress up everyday and look incredibly fabulous whether they were going to work, the grocery store, a party, or stopping by an neighbors house to say hello. I always try to incorporate a little bit of that sentiment into my outfits today while still keeping it modern and updated. This Karina black ponte dress has a tailored silhouette with pockets (love!) and makes me feel as if I stepped out of a vintage magazine. To keep the look modern, I used accessories that were not too matchy matchy. The Humble Chic coral wristlet adds a nice pop of color and feels so soft with it vegan leather. The glittery gold belt and shoes elevate the outfit to holiday chic or a night out of the town or, if you're like me, everyday glam.

Gingham, Stripes, and Tulle

Sequin Striped Tee <-- Under $30! || Humble Chic NY Pink Gingham Shirt c/o || Similar White Tulle Skirt || Similar Silver Shoes and Here || Melie Bianco Bag || Karen Walker Sunnies via ShopDitto c/o || Trending Above Bracelet c/o || Trending Above Rose Gold Ring c/o || Humble Chic NY Pearl Ear Cuff c/o || The Peach Box Rose Gold Heart Ring c/o || Bare Minerals Lipstick ||

Happy Monday, all! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. We finally decorated our house for Christmas and decorated the tree while listening to Christmas carols and sipping on hot chocolate. It's always one of my favorite traditions during this time of the year.

Speaking of the holidays, this is a great festive look that sparkles and shines, while having a fun pop of color and a little bit magic all rolled into one. The pink gingham shirt from Humble Chic is a great layering piece to add some color (and warmth!) to an ensemble during the winter season. I wanted to pair it with this striped sequin shirt, which has a great thicker material, to give it some color and make the outfit have a little bit of pop. The sequins and silver metallic shoes definitely feel very festive to me along with the tulle providing that little bit of whimsical magic. How about this pearl ear cuff too?! Talk about a beautiful conversation starter. I've never tried an ear cuff before, and I did have a bit of trouble getting it onto my ear, but once I did, I was amazed at how unique it looked.

Fluffy Jacket + Rehoboth Beach

Similar Pink Fluffy Jacket <-- Under $27! || Similar Gray Sweater <-- Embellished and gret for the holidays under $50 || Skinny Jeans || Pink Heels || Karen Walker Sunnies via Shopditto c/o || Similar Bag ||

I've had this jacket for some time now, but haven't worn it yet. On our most recent trip to Rehoboth Beach, (more photos below) I knew the weather was going to be nice and would only need a light sweater and jacket for the day. This jacket is full of whimsy and is the prettiest shade of rose. I love how fun the feathery tassels are. I wanted to look to have softer colors with a bright pop of pink to give it a little punch.

Shop The Post:

Here's some snaps from our Rehoboth Beach trip this past week to see the Christmas tree lighting. I haven't finished working on all of the pictures yet, but this is a good representation of our time there. The weather was amazing and the town was so magical with all of the decorations and twinkle lights. It was even warm enough at night for my dad and I to enjoy some drinks al fresco at The Boardwalk Plaza. Also, if you ever happen to be in town, try out Kaisy's Delight. It's an Austrian pancake with powdered sugar on top. I literally went every single morning to get my little treat!

Happy Socks

Cat Socks || Argyle Socks || Diamond Socks || Ava's Polka Dot Socks all c/o from Happy Socks

I had so much fun putting this post together. I'm not one to wear socks so this was a bit of a challenge for me. The looks I wanted to create were a dressy, casual at home, and a menswear inspired. These socks bring a bright pop of color or a bit of fun to the outfits and obviously keep my feet warm. I'm always putting socks on Ava to keep her feet cozy when she goes to sleep or when we head out for the day. I'd love to know if anyone has ever tried dressing up an outfit with some fun socks?

White Holiday Dress

White Long Sleeve Dress (wearing size small) c/o || Similar Red Shoes || Pearl Statement Necklace c/o || Similar Christmas Bracelet || Similar Gold Clutch || Similar Christmas Lights Earrings ||

I hope everyone has a great time online shopping yesterday! Did anyone watch the 50th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas last night? I watched it with my dad (Ava fell asleep) over at his house with some hot chocolate in hand. Tonight Rudolph is on CBS at 8pm if anyone is interested! I love watching the classic holiday television shows with my family. It's a little tradition we have.

One thing I dislike about the cold weather (among many) is not being able to wear a dress without freezing my little tush off! I adore dresses and how they are basically an outfit onto themselves. They're chic and feminine without trying too hard. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this Shein white dress with long sleeves (win!) and a nice long maxi type style. Even the fabric is a heavy material, which is great for keeping me warm during this holiday season. A bright pop of red with some gold accents makes this a fab holiday party or date night look.

Cyber Monday 2015

1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8 || 9 || 10 ||

Happy Cyber Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. If you were not celebrating Thanksgiving, then I hope you had an amazing weekend! My dad and I took Ava down to see the annual tree lighting in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. We lucked out with the weather. It was in the mid 60s during the day and low 50s at night. I could not have been happier about that haha! We enjoyed walking around town and stopping in the stores to browse about with our coffee and latte's in hand. We even got down to the beach to walk and search for some sea shells. The tree lighting was magical with the whole town decorated in twinkling lights while carolers sang the traditional Christmas tunes. I can't wait to share some pictures from it!

Now, onto the sales. I was able to grab some goodies from Black Friday and I am super excited to get a few gifts (and some treats for myself) during the biggest online shopping day of the year.

Shein Pink Wool Coat ( Size Small) c/o || Red Pleated Dress || Sunnies || Similar Bag Here and Here || Similar Shoes || Bare Minerals Lipstick || Trending Above Crystal Bracelet c/o || Trending Above Rose Gold Ring c/o || The Peach Box Rose Gold Heart Ring c/o ||

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I'm so excited that its the day before Thanksgiving and that its supposed to be warming up a bit in time for the holiday! These past few days have been seriously chilly. With the holiday season in full swing now, I'm already pulling out all of cold weather essentials and part outfit looks. I've been on the hunt for a pink coat and absolutely love this wool one. It has pockets and a snap button closure for when you need to bundle up. It's a steal at under $42! Whenever I think of winter or Christmas, the color red always comes to mind. Pairing this pleated red dress, which has a heavy fabric and is lined in silky polka dots, with the pink coat is eye catching and oh so feminine. It's a great party look to start the season off right!

Right now Shein is starting their Black Friday deals with the code COUNT40 for 40% off your order of over $59. Do not miss this! Ends 11/26.

Blush Turtleneck Sweater (wearing a size small) || Pom-Pom Mittens (only $10! and seriously warm and toasty) || Destroyed Skiiny Jeans || Similar Bag || Fringe Booties || Tear Drop Earrings (only $5) || Sunnies (wear these constantly) ||

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Justin and I took Ava to get her photo with Santa Claus. She did so well and only had a pouty face on when sitting with Santa. We were both afraid she might start crying, but she held out haha. I have the image posted below. We also stocked up on some ingredients for Thanksgiving. I cannot believe it's already here! I'm pretty excited for all of the food and family gathering.

Speaking of, this cozy blush pink turtleneck (also comes in white ) is perfect for the holiday. I was snug as a bug and loved that its a little bit over sized. It'll be great for hiding all of the extra food I'm bound to eat for Thanksgiving! The color is beautifully soft and the weight is fantastic for the cold weather. I was able to walk around all day without my coat on. These pom-pom mittens kept my hands nice and toasty too. There is an inner limning to give that extra oomph of warmth. How adorable are the pom-poms?! These would make great gift items for a fashion loving friend. I know I'd definitely love to get them!

Happy Thursday, loves! It's almost the weekend, which I am so excited about. We're supposed to take Ava to get her photo with Santa. We'll see how that goes haha. I cannot wait to dress her up in her Christmas outfit. It was a bit chilly yesterday so I had to pull out my winter coats. Tis that time of year! At least it's not below zero yet (shudders at the thought.) 

My favorite type of jewelry lately has been rose gold. I'm completely obsessed with it! The beautiful pinkish hue compliments any skin tone and reminds me of my favorite blush color. Add a little bit of sparkle to that and you have the perfect piece of jewelry. I'm particularly in love with these rose gold earrings and ring from The Peach Box. They're dainty enough to wear for everyday occasions and add just a hint of dazzle for evenings out. While I do love a statement piece, I have smaller features, which look better with smaller pieces of jewelry. Makes sense, right?! My new favorite dress is this blue floral one from Chicwish. The color is so vibrant with an intricate floral design of pretty pinks and greens. This dress transitions from spring and summer with its chiffon construction and floral print, into fall and winter with its saturated blue background layered with a coat/jacket.

I don't know about you, but my bags always seem to be disorganized. I basically toss everything in and then have to rummage around when I need something. Being a mom on the go means I'm always lugging around two bags; my own personal one and of course Ava's diaper bag. Both need to be organized so I can grab what I need at a moments notice. I was absolutely delighted to find Tote Savvy, which allows me to turn my everyday tote into a diaper bag and keep it perfectly organized. A win-win in my book! The organizer has various pockets for such things as diapers, wipes, bottles, toys, extra clothes,changing mat, and even my phone, magazines, wallet, and keys. A complete lifesaver. Now, I can stylishly carry my own totes and have them also be my diaper bag. The great thing is, the organizer can also be used for traveling, the gym, or even the beach or pool. Genius idea! This Humble Chic wallet I recently got fits perfectly into the organizer too. I'm not one for bulky wallets that take up too much space. This one is compact and fits all of the essentials.

Brown Coat

Happy Monday, friend! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends. I had the holiday tea with my dad which went splendidly. I always love to see everyone dressed up in their finest with all of the beautiful decorations surrounding me. Did anyone go see Bond? Let me know what you thought below! I do want to take a moment and say how saddened I am over the Paris attacks that happened this past weekend. I only hope the people who lost loved ones can find peace once again. They've certainly been in my thoughts and prayers these past few days. 

When I put this outfit together, I thought how Parisian chic it looked with the white collar and little black dress. It's effortless and put together all in one. The bow detail on the heels add a whimsical feel and the pop of leopard with a red lippy are always in style! I recently got this brown coat and could not be more in love! Even the barista at Starbucks complimented me on it haha! It's soft and a great length for the cooler months. I wore it with a dress, but it would be great with a chambray shirt, black pants, and some black flats or sparkly heels.

Yay! It's finally Friday! My weekend is jam packed yet again. Two exciting events I'll be going to are a holiday tea with my dad and going to see James Bond again with him. When I like a movie, I go to see it more than once! It's been raining non-stop here the past couple of days, but the weekend should be clear. Fingers crossed!

I love how this outfit feels like something Audrey Hepburn would wear, but updated and modernized. The back of this blouse from Humble Chic has the prettiest bow detail that just calls for your hair to be pulled up or off to the side. It needs to be seen! Having a nice little added detail really makes an outfit more unique in my opinion. I always gravitate to the special little "extras" such as bows, sequins, fringe, and so on. I wanted to keep the look extra feminine with all of the bows and a hint of sparkle. With the holidays creeping closer each day, I inevitably add some glitz to all of my looks. Do not be afraid to add a touch of glam to your everyday outfits either. It is something that need not only be for night and is especially perfect during this time of the year. The pearl crystal necklace has a beautiful ladylike feel to it that pulls this whole look together.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Plaid, Fur, and Sparkle

Pendleton Top Similar Here || Faux Fur Vest and Here || Humble Chic Elizabeth Statement Necklace c/o <-- literally wearing all the time! || Similar Skinny Jeans || Similar Black Boots <-- so nice for walking around! || Similar Bag || Trending Above Crystal Bracelet c/o <-- Also wearing this non stop, goes with everything! ||

Whenever I travel, I always dress for the destination in mind. My dad, Ava, and I all traveled down to Valley Forge this past Friday for a seminar. I always go to the park and explore all the beautiful scenery it has to offer. Knowing that I'll be doing quite a bit of walking, I opted for flat boots that would be practical for the fall weather. There's nothing quite like seeing all of the beautiful leaves together in one place, whether they be still on the trees or blanketing the ground. There was a heavy fog lifting when we arrived that gave a mystical feeling. I'm always drawn to plaid in the fall, or any time of the year really, and wanted to layer it in a cozy glam faux fur vest. I'm been getting a lot of miles out of vests lately, you can never go wrong with them! The weather was cool, but getting warmer in the afternoon when I could simply take off the vest and be comfortable. To add another touch of elegance, I added this pearl crystal statement necklace from Humble Chic. I've been wearing this a lot lately since it goes with everything and adds class to any look. This would be a great necklace for the holidays as either a gift or to add some sparkle to your look!

Casual Feeling

White Long Sleeve Tee A closet staple at only $18! || Pendleton Vest || Similar Skinny Jeans || Similar Booties || Leopard Bag || Karen Walker Sunnies via Shop Ditto c/o || Jackie Kennedy Drop Eaaringa || Trending Above Bracelet c/o ||

Happy Tuesday, friends! The weather is starting to get cool again and I'm not sure how I feel about that haha! I was loving the Indian Summer we were having, but alas, it is November and I suppose that means some cool temps. Luckily it hasn't been too bad and I can still get away with wearing a layered look without a coat. When I want that extra bit of warmth and a pulled together look, I reach for one of my vests. They're great to put on top of a t-shirt, button downs, or even a light or chunky sweater. This tee is nice and soft without being too sheer. I'm not a fan of shirts, especially white tees, that are see through. I also love how its longer in the back which is great for leggings. Does anyone else love pockets as much as I do? I realized going through these pictures that Im always putting my hands into my vest pockets. I mean, they're pretty great!

Photo Bug

Modcloth Dress (Similar) and (Similar) || Banana Republic Bag (Similar Here) || Rose Gold Loafers || Sunnies || Canon Rebel Camera || Mickey Mouse Camera Strap || Trending Above Earrings c/o || Trending Above Bracelet || Micha Store Necklace c/o ||

Happy Monday! Being a photographer, I was immediately drawn to this dress the moment I saw it. The peter pan collar and camera print are so charming together along with the fit and flare styling, which in my opinion is always flattering. If I want to have some fun with an outfit, I always grab a printed dress or skirt. There's something quirky and unique about having a print piece and never boring. To keep with the photo exploration theme, I chose these rose gold loafers since I would not be wearing heels while doing a full day of traveling or walking around in the woods. The rose gold is sold out, but silver and black do remain. I always wear these when I want to look sharp while wearing flats.

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends. Luckily, my family is on the mend from our colds and feeling better. Friday I took Ava down to Valley Forge with my dad. Saturday Justin and I saw the Martian and Sunday we saw Spectre. I know some of you were saying you were going to see Bond as well. What did you think? I personally liked it, but thought it wasn't as good as Skyfall. I'm so conflicted on the ending too. I do not want to spoil the ending for those who have not seen it, but I do not want it to end like that haha.
