Coat Dress // Kate Middleton Style

Coat Dress c/o || Similar Bow Pumps || Similar Gold Clutch || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o ||  

Good morning, everyone! As soon as I saw this dress, I immediately thought of the forever chic Kate Middleton. She will always be one of my favorite fashion inspirations and truth be told, an inspiration all around. She has a classic style and an abundance of class. This “coat dress” has the very same essence of the style we see the Duchess wear time and time again. This particular one from Chicwish has pockets, velvet trimming, a fit and flare waist, and a houndstooth print. It does fit true to size.

Winter Pop Of Red

Red Embellished Coat c/o || Hunter Boots || Similar Plaid Shoes || Box Clutch || Woolrich Plaid Ear Muffs (Similar) || Similar Gloves || Cluster Stone Drop Earrings ||

Good morning and happy Monday, friends! One of my favorite colors to wear in winter is a bright pop of red. It’s stands out particularly well against a snowy white background and brings all the happy cheeriness along with it. This coat from Julie Brown NYC is the definition of stunning. Not only is it a gorgeous shade of red, but the arms have little bows with pearl and rhinestone buttons as well as the from buttons being the same. The sleeve length is cut at 3/4 reminding me fondly of coats worn in the 1960s with long leather gloves.

 I hope everyone had had a great weekend. Mine was amazing and quite a memorable one. Also, I’m sure most know by now that President George H. W. Bush had passed away. He was the first president that so remember seeing. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Bush family and their friends. From all accounts that I have heard, he truly was a great man, served his country well, and was devoted to his family. RIP 41.

Satin Bowknot Dress

Satin Dress c/o || LC Lauren Conrad Faux Fur Jacket (Old, Similar) || Rose Gold Shoes|| Glitter Minaudiere Box Clutch || Jackie Kennedy Earrings || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || 

Good morning and happy Wednesday, friends! I must say that I felt like a silver screen siren wearing this satin dress from Chicwish. Satin has always reminded me of the movie goddesses gracing the big screens in the 30s and 40s. They always seemed to be dressed to the nines in their luxurious silky fabrics! This dress has beautiful movement that swishes and sways with each and every step. Not only that, but the color, a nice deep wine, is stunning and quite festive this time of the year. The dress also comes in a midnight navy blue. It fits true to size and has a darling bow to cinch the waist and give the always flattering fit-and-flare style.

Holiday Style With A Bow

Sail To Sable Bow Back Dress c/o || Red Coat || Gloves || Similar Bow Heels || KJP JFK Pearl Necklace || Jackie Kennedy Pearl Drop Earrings || Similar Sequin Clutch ||  

Happy Friday, friends! We woke up to a winter white wonderland after yesterday’s snow storm. It’s the first snow of the season and Ava was quite excited for it, me not as much lol. The new fallen snow has me dreaming of the cheerful holidays ahead and all of the happiness and joy that comes along with them. The holiday season is the perfect time of the year to add a little something special to your wardrobe, this bow dress included! It exudes the perfect amount of classic elegance and charm with the darling bow detail in the back. I can’t help but to think of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s when wearing this. She was the inspiration of this effortlessly chic holiday look.

Feeling Festive

Sweater Dress c/o || JustFab Heels c/o (Similar) || Similar Sequin Clutch || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet || Jackie Kennedy Earrings ||  

Good morning and happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends! I went to go see the Nutcracker and the Four Realms, which definitely put me in the Christmas spirit. I also started and finished watching the series Bodyguard on Netflix. I’m pretty sure it just came out. It’s a good one! It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. My dad and I also went to my church’s roast beef dinner and had the yummiest meal. Did everyone enjoy the extra hour of sleep? I’ve always loved that extra hour of shut eye, but it gets dark early now, which is sad, haha. Daylight is precious.

 This red sweater dress, like the Nutcracker, also puts me in the festive spirit! It’s a ribbed material with faux pearls trimmed along the front. The fit and flare style is darling and fun for a bit of a twirl. While the Christmas season comes to mind for this dresss, I’m also thinking of it as something to wear for Thanksgiving too. I’ve always been particularly drawn to a red dress for special occasions, be it a holiday or even a school dance. Fun fact, almost every school dance I went to, I wore a red dress. This one from Chicwish definitely fits the bill!
