Recent Buys

With so many sales going on right now it's easy to get sucked down the online shopping rabbit hole, especially when one is bombarded with daily emails offering savory discount codes, it can be quite heady indeed.  I've taken a restrained approach to these post-Xmas/New Year's sales and have picked up some fun pieces this past week.





Cardigans are making a come back in 2015 and I am in desperate need of more substantial knits. I have the standard black and grey throw-on cardis, but they are kind of boring. My winter wardrobe is in desperate need of a statement cardigan, I think this will do the job.



These jogger pants aren't necessarily the most practical item for winter, HOWEVER, their loose feel and fun print will work for more casual outings when the temperatures start to peak above freezing. And I'm kind of loving the idea of pairing these pants with the above cardi... we'll have to see how the blues play out.   


Okay these shorts were a bit of a wish-fulfillment purchase--dreaming about the sunny days to come here in 2015 and reminiscing as well about this past, awesome summer.  This was also a case of where the-discount-was-so-great-I-couldn't-resist type of buy. These shorts will be going into storage with my other warm weather clothes upon their arrival, so it'll be like a fun surprise in four months when I unpack my summer pieces!  


I'm still in the market for a new day bag as I discussed in this post, but I think that'll be my big purchase next month. This month I had to buy a new phone after I dropped mine down a flight of stairs, yeah that was an unforeseen expense so unfortunately outfitting buys had to take a back seat.

I PROMISE next week I'll have outfit posts!

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!
