MAXI DRESSES + COZY VESTS

Hi guys! Happy last day in November! Can you even believe it? I cannot, but I am the biggest lover of all things holiday, so I am so happy! I have been blasting Christmas music nonstop, burning holiday scented candles (this cheap-o Glade one is my fave and literally smells up your whole house) and drinking mini hot chocolates from Starbucks on the daily. I just adore this time of year!

Today is all about my current love for maxi dresses and cozy vests. The weather here has officially gone cooler on us and I am loving this easy layering. This Jetset Diaries dress (also available here) caught my eye and I knew it would be such a fun piece to style in warm temps as well as cooler ones. I love the mix of colors and the sassy fit (can’t beat a good leg slit!) I paired it with this super super cozy faux fur vest from Show Me Your Mumu. I have been living in this thing! I love that it’s sweater material! The neutral tones of the faux fur make it super wearable.

To spice up the look, I added on my Gucci belt (which I am sure you guys are sick of seeing, but honestly it’s the best way to give a look some personality!) and I borrowed my sister’s teal blue nano Celine. I am so lucky she lives in LA and that we can share bags! She got this one when I got my bright red one earlier this year. It’s so great to switch and borrow each others, it’s like getting a new bag!

To stay warm, I went with these Vince Camuto booties that are sadly sold out everywhere, but here are some from Steve Madden that are almost identical. For sunnies I kept it neutral with these grey and gold ones from Le Spec (you can’t beat the $69 price tag!)

I love love this outfit combo! It’s feminine and fun, but also so comfy and easy. I love the super girly and dramatic feel of a maxi dress! Here are some more I loving lately:

I hope you all have a fab day today! I feel like I am finally a bit recovered from all the drinking and nonstop fun of last week! If you follow me on instagram, you probably saw that I fully enjoyed everything about our Palm Desert getaway. I know I have mentioned it on here before, but if you need a perfect hotel there, the Ritz Carlton is so so fab! Cozy, comfy and luxe!

I am off to a fun holiday pop up shop event tonight with some other bloggers that I am so looking forward to! Nothing better than all the fab soirees of the season, right? Happy shopping!

ALL MY FAVE SALE PICKS

Hi guys!! Happy Cyber Monday! There are so so many fab sales going on right now, right? I find it all a bit overwhelming, so instead of sharing just cyber monday deals, I decided to share some of my favorite sale finds. Most of these are half off their original prices and are all items you could wear now! If you hover over the item it will bring it the retailer and price.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

FOR THE LOVE OF COZY

HAPPY (black) FRIDAY!! One of my most favorite days of the year! I hope you are all out there attacking all the best deals and enjoying your holiday weekend. Our Thanksgiving was so yummy and relaxing and today we are off to Palm Desert for the weekend. I will be insta-storying nonstop, so be sure to follow along!

Today I am getting alllll sporty spice in this comfy fleece wrap jacket from BB Dakota (also available here and similar option here). This super affordable throw on is the epitome of comfort! I love the light grey color and that it comes with a belt! My dream! I paired it with this simple white lace cami (same brand, different style here) from Cami NYC as I wanted to keep it a little bit feminine atleast!

When I was creating this look, I was so thinking Thanksgiving day casualness or black Friday fun, so I went with these high waisted jeans from Topshop to keep it super easy and simple. I love the color of these and you can’t beat the $75 price tag! They come distressed, but I actually cut out the knees completely as I am all about that look right now (always about a little personalization/DIY! when it comes to fashion).

For bag, I wanted to make it daytime friendly, so I went with my big Givenchy Antigona. This bag is a forever fave of mine! The shape and size make it so usable. For shoes, I broke out my fave Adidas Superstars (because what is more sporty spice and casual fun?!!) I know I am always all about the heels, but truthfully I live in these during the week when I am running around! Gotta be practical sometimes 🙂

For sunnies, I wanted to pull from the grey of my jacket and the silver tones of my Givenchy, so I went with these from Illesteva.

I hope you all have the best, best weekend! I am so excited to play in the desert at one of our most fave hotels. They have a candy bar in the lobby…I mean, how fab?! Happy shopping, loves!

ps- Be sure to check out my new Holiday Gift Guide tab on the menu bar! I picked out a ton of gifts for her/gifts for him in a variety of prices! I LOVE shopping for others, so if you ever need more ideas, please email me!

PLAID PARTY

Hiiii guys!! Long time no blog! I decided to fully be in the moment and take the week off from blogging while in Mexico last week. It was definitely a relaxing getaway, but I am way too much of a go-getter and was so ready to get home! And now it’s Thanksgiving week and I could not be more excited to see my fam! They get here today and we are off to take family photos…wish us luck!

Today is all about this absolutely fab plaid skirt from Milly. How fun are these colors? I love the fuzzy texture and the cream background. It’s such a fun option for all the holiday soirees ahead (a simple addition of black opaque tights or over the knee boots would make it colder temp friendly). I paired it with this simple cross over top from Lovers and Friends (similar here). Such an easy top to throw on with denim too! Since the temps have (finally!!) gotten cooler, I went with this super fun, super cozy, furry jacket from BB Dakota. This $130 find is my current obsession!! It’s such a fab option for dressy looks and also is so fun with a lace cami + denim.

For shoes, I was feeling fun and went with these studded booties from Joie. I died over these when I saw them online and then had to have them when I spotted them at Nordy’s. They are just such a fun switch up from the everyday plain black, right? They look really cute with black tights and leggings too. Since this is a more dressed up look, I went with this studded clutch from Rebecca Minkoff. I know I have this in a ton of colors, but really it is the most easy and essential option for a night out!

Sunnies, Nail Color, Criss Cross Ring

I hope you are all having such a great week so far! And yay for the holiday tomorrow! I love love Thanksgiving as I think it’s such a great time to reflect on all that we have and be reminded of all there is to be grateful for. My fam is pretty laid back and super untraditional with our meal as we don’t even eat turkey! None of us really like it, so we will be feasting on salmon instead! Hope you all enjoy your day and get in some nice R + R. I am thankful for all of you for reading my blog and forever giving me motivation and inspiration to do more. Cheers to that and happy shopping!

Here are my two looks from last week with links below since I didn’t blog about them!

LACE & DENIM

HAPPY FRIDAY, FRIENDS! We made it through this tre hectic week! I have been nonstop and will continue to be nonstop until we leave for our trip to Mexico. I haven’t actually packed a thing yet, which is so unlike me as I normally pack atleast a week in advance for a trip. I usually map out all my outfits and get them all set to go, but since I am shooting a ton of looks today I have been super consumed with that. Trying to come up with Wintery outfits when it’s still 90 degrees out as been interesting!

Anyways, today I am talking all about my current love for all things lace and denim. Such a flirty combo! I found this fun WAYF top (here too) on shopbop.com and loved the high neck and long sleeves. It came with a nude tank, but in typical me fashion, I switched it up, got rid of the tank and just threw on this bralette with it. Now if you are feeling too scared to wear it like this, I think a black cami underneath is still super cute (not a fan of the nude though). I have been wearing this top nonstop! It looks really fun with high waisted skinnies as well as any skirt (velvet, metallic) or even a high waisted black trouser would be fun with it! (Its sadly not available in some sizes, so I will link a ton of other options below)

Onto this super fab denim skirt from GRLFRND. I love the broken in look and the fact that it’s so high waisted (I clearly have an obsession). This skirt is so fun with just a simple tee or oversized cozy sweater and some flat otk boots too. To keep with the flirty and fun feel, I went with these fun booties from Michael Kors that I found at Saks while we were in Vegas (sadly they are sold out in black, here and here are similar options). I love how they hit right at your ankle- definitely a leg lengthener!

black-lace-top-1

Since I was thinking date night when I was putting this look together, I went this super plush wine colored velvet clutch from Rebecca Minkoff (also available here). How super dreamy??! I plan on using this fabness all holiday season long! I adore that its so on trend, but not too spendy ($95). It would be a fun gift for your bestie or sister too! I finished off this look with my go-to Karen Walkers because the black + gold matched perfectly! Everyone always asks about my criss cross ring…it’s 100% not real and 100% this one from BP ($12!!) Of course I want the real version by EF Jewels, but I am pretty happy with this one for now! And my nail color is OPI “Lincoln Park After Dark” a total oldie but goodie that I wear nonstop!

Here are some more fun black lace tops I am loving:

Have the happiest weekend!! Hopefully we will have wi-fi next week so I can continue with my blogposts, but if not, you will know why I am MIA! We are going on this getaway btw because my sweet, amazing husband won Regional Manager of the Year (I felt like I needed to capitalize that for some reason?? hahah) and this is his reward trip. Now don’t get me wrong, I am so thankful for a free tropical vacay, but at the same time, it’s kinda weird to go somewhere you didnt pick, stay in a hotel you know nothing about, take flights you didnt book (I know first world problems over here!!) I definitely am grateful for time away with my boo, that’s for sure! That’s what I love about us, we literally can have fun together no matter where we are! Anyways, happy shopping and enjoy the weekend! xo, Caro
