Friends & Family - LOFT

On my walk home this afternoon I saw that the friends & family sale at Loft was taking place. I naturally couldn't pass up a sale & picked up a few all items all at 40% off with code BESTFRIENDS. These pants & these jeans were amazingly comfy and perfect for transitioning my wardrobe into fall next month as well as this cardigan which I wore in white here. I put together a few other favorites for your browsing but you can check out everything here. Go ahead, treat yourself, it's Friday {hopefully a pay day} and let's face it,  adults deserve a little "back to school" shopping too. Have a great weekend everyone!

Romper Room

Earlier in the season I tried on a jumpsuit and it was absolutely the most horrific sight I have ever seen on me. Despite looking absolutely ridiculous in them myself I was still drawn to the style of a one piece outfit. Like a dress it makes selecting an ensemble easy breezy and can be super comfortable. So when I purchased this jumpsuit, finally a onsie that I actually felt great in, I thought I would venture into romper territory. I personally am not a fan of anything too short but for those who have the gams to wear them, I think they can be very chic. I personally like the casual styles as a  beach coverup. A few of my favorites are below.

oh baby

I would like to start this blog post out with a full disclosure that I am not with child. However, almost everywhere I turn someone is preggers. Some bloggers included {here, here & here} along with many of my dearest friends which is why I have had a lot of requests for a fashion post for maternity clothing. Since I know practically nothing about being prego, I did a little research first and I stumbled upon a fabulous baby blog for some inspiration then put together some stylish finds at all different price points for my mama to be friends.

Stylish tops to pair with leggings and denim. A little something for everyone.

A classic trench and comfy open cardigans are perfect for chillier days.

Denim is a necessity in any wardrobe, I personally love the white for dressier summer looks, the destroyed for the comfy weekend wear and the straight leg with some comfy flats.

Dresses are always an easy go to for any woman, a chic outfit in a snap. I selected a few maternity looks to get the mama to be looking fabulous from work to play to even their baby shower.

It's hot out there & as much as women hate being in a bathing suit, swimwear has certainly got amped up for the prego ladies out there. I chose three pieces and coordinating cover ups to keep cool this summer.

Weekend Wear - Pink & Orange

Pink & Orange has long been one of my favorite color combinations. However it's usually something I would only entertain to wear in Spring or Summer. The two hues compliment each other so well and just welcome the warmer weather with open arms.  I personally have been coveting that J.Crew lady like blazer below since I saw in their Spring catalog but have yet to splurge on it. While some say the look below is too matchy-matchy, I think keeping the base of the outfit very neutral and using color in the accessories is safe. If dark denim isn't your thing, try this color combo with some fatigue colored denim.

Swim Season

I may not have any vacations coming up but I can't help but browse all the summery goodness hitting the shelves lately. Swimwear is more fashionable then ever and available in so many different styles to flatter all shapes and sizes. While I am most definitely not ready to strip down into a swimsuit I am ready for a little sun in my life and hope that this post will motivate me to get back into the gym and feeling somewhat good in a bathing suit this year. Last summer my sister purchased a paddle board & I am hoping to be giving it a whirl in one of those cute surfer tops & bottoms below!

what to wear - holiday edition - part 2

For those who don't need to or care to dress up but still want to look good as well as be comfy look no further then the stylish pajama ensemble below. While I cringe at the thought of adults wearing pj's in public, I think this outfit is totally appropriate for running to the market (or liquor store) in for a quick errand - swap out the slippers for some uggs and the robe for a jacket and your good to go!
