Holiday Gift Guide - For The Ladies

When I started this blog five years ago my husband teased me that I was solely writing about things that I wanted, he called it my endless shopping wish list. While I told him that wasn't true since I often write about things I wish I was adventurous enough to wear or had the bod to pull off. However today I would be happy to admit that I would be pretty pleased if any of these gifts made their way down the chimney at my house this Christmas.

These fun faux fur pom key chains will help make finding your keys at the bottom of your bag a lot more cute.

I shared my favorite pajamas here, these are a bit more of a luxe version and coordinating slippers never hurt. More sleepwear options here.

These earrings are a much more wallet friendly version of the famous les bon bons.

This little bag haunts me. I see it everywhere in every color but the red is fitting for the season.

A cozy plaid poncho for wrapping up in.

This adjustable length bracelet is a favorite of mine with it's ease to put on solo.

A pretty lace top in black or white would look beautiful on your gal for new years.

We love having Shinola here in Boston. This double wrap watch is one to want.

These slightly distressed denim with the very on trend step hem is a must in a gal's wardrobe. Found a great look a like with extended sizes here.

A chic floppy hat in a neutral color goes with everything. More options here.

Don't know what fragrance she loves, well this sampler set will definitely fit the bill. I can attest to the fact that they all smell incredible. I also love these little guys for travel.

A classic silk dress that will never go out of style is a perfect gift to give with a promise of night out on the town.

These shoes are some sexy shizzz...love them. Also come in flats for a more practical style.

This faux fur jacket looks like the real deal with zero guilt, it also has the yummiest sweatshirt liner that makes this coat extra comfy.

These simple yet super stylish sunnies are everything. Duplicates for $55 here.

Cash or Credit - Black & White

Happy Friday friends...SO happy the weekend is here! While we are off to Maine to celebrate my husbands birthday I wanted to share a little cash or credit with you all before we go. The tie neck {I refuse to call it what it's actual name is} is a major trend happening in everything from dresses to blouses. Just this week I wore this style with this dress. I plan on living in silk blouses, comfy flats & denim all fall. It is always my full proof outfit that I feel best in so I wanted to use my personal style as some inspiration for todays get the look for less. Happy Weekend!

Currently Coveting - Basic Instincts

I sort of hate myself for thinking of fall fashion when the summer season is still so fun and full of life. I honestly haven't picked up a single thing for the autumn but that doesn't mean my wish list isn't growing by the day. When it comes to dressing for the cooler weather I alway like to build my wardrobe on quality basics. Things that work well with one another, share a common color palette and that will stand the test of trends. A few of my favorites finds for the fall are below. What are you wishing for your closet come October?

A great blazer will get some serious wear before the cold weather really hits. It's a clean cut and so perfectly preppy with it's popped collar and rich navy coloring {several other colors available}.

When it comes to shoes, I tend to splurge a bit. I love a quality flat as they get worn the most with city living. I absolutely love a stylish flat in a sassy leopard print for adding a little pattern to a basic outfit. A great looking black bootie is also a must have for me, I adore the pointy toe on this pair. Finally the scalloped edges on this pump have me weak in the knees. I just love the sweet simplicity style of these suede babies. They look great with dresses, skirts, denim and so much more.

It goes without saying how important a great pair of denim is. While I do like a distressed look, I don't want holes all over the place, especially when it's cool out. This pair is a steal for under $50 but I also really love this pair & this pair too. Want some great fall colored denim, check out this pair.

Accessories are my favorite things to shop for. Whether it be a great hand bag {my absolute favorite thing to buy} or some pretty jewelry, I always like to keep it rather simple. A gold hoop is my go to most days and when I want something more I'll add in a statement earring. A great watch is a must and a clutch in a fun pattern or print is a great way to elevate an otherwise simple outfit. Finally a stylish scarf to wear around your neck or tied to your bag and definitely don't forget to add some classic aviators for those sunny yet cool days.

Is there a better fall jacket then a trench? I absolutely love this one which looks exactly like the much higher priced tagged version. A great poncho over a stylish sweater is another fall favorite. I lived in this one {can purchase here} all winter, it's like wearing a hug.

Last but not least, my favorite wardrobe essentials are a great little black dress {seen in floral here} something striped like this cute sleeveless top {also love this always stylish tee} and a solid colored silk blouse. I love the lace up details on this one, the double pockets on this one as well as all the colors it comes in & the tunic style of this one.

Cash or Credit - Summer Uniform

There are quite a few trends that are taking place this summer but off the shoulder tops and dresses are surely ruling the fashion world. I have always loved this look even if it was a top that only revealed one shoulder but have always dreaded the strapless bra that was required to wear the look. Until I found this baby that is perfect for us gals with a little more chest then the rest. So in honor of my favorite trend and an outfit I am actually wearing today {similar version here}. I thought I would do a little cash or credit to get the look!

Currently Coveting - Neutral Territory

It's no surprise that I like me some neutrals. This becomes super evident come fall where I gravitate to great basics in my favorite color palette of black, tan and ivory. Last week before we left for Italy {more coming on that trip next week} we had some time in NYC where I spotted some very fashionable women all sporting chic basics that looked so effortlessly pulled together. So I did a little round up of a few items that I am currently coveting to build a wardrobe of classics that mix well with one another and will last beyond one season.

The Classic Black Bag

When it comes to saving and splurging, I tend to spend more on bags and shoes versus everyday clothing. I have always felt an item that will get a good cost per wear could be justified versus an item that may be only worn for one season. So when I was recently asked some advice on purchasing a classic black bag, I was excited to put together a little round up at tiered price points. Not only does a great black back stand the test of time with it's simple style, it works for all the seasons and wears so well with age. My only criteria given for the search was that the purse be scaled to this persons proportions {think petite}, not too trendy and something that would work well with city living and travel. My round up includes everything from the top handle to the timeless tote, most even have a great strap for converting to the always convenient cross body.

totes my style

I am utterly obsessed with handbags! This is definitely not news to most people who know me as my unhealthy addiction is often evident with the changing of my handbag for each ensemble. While living in the city usually means I am lugging around a cross body to keep my hands free for groceries or vino from the liquor store I would have to admit the tote is by far my all time favorite style. I adore the lady like shape, the adorable top handles and the boxy shape. I am thinking of cashing in all my change jars {and the help of a Saks gift card that is dying to be spent} to put towards that little Prada piece of heaven below. Which is your favorite???

color crush - minty fresh

Is anyone else totally obsessed with the color craze that is happening in everything from wardrobe to home interiors??? Since I am a fully confessed chromophobe ( I totes had to look that word up) it really is forcing me to be more daring with my wardrobe and shop for items that add some interest into each ensemble. While I do love color, I often don't wear it. This refreshing and warm version of green may just change that. I am seriously swooning over how feminine and soft this pale green looks with so many other colors. It is screaming Spring & happier longer days. I think this minty color is perfectly paired with other neutrals such as navy's, beige's and whites. How would you wear this fab color? Part two will feature some beautiful images of this color splashed in almost every room of a home!
