Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

This week I have two blog posts scheduled!🙌

And to kick off the week, I’m sharing a casual summertime outfit!

One of my favorite summertime looks is a mostly all white ensemble! I love to wear white in the summer since it looks great on tanned skin! And although I haven’t gotten a real deep dark tan in years, it still also looks great with my faux tanned skin thanks to Tarte’s 24 hour Express Brazilliance tanning mousse! Love that stuff – it’s an easy application and it’s pretty dark for a self tanner. 👍

Today’s look is a casual mix of athleisure, which I am all about these days! I don’t work in an office anymore so this look is about as fancy as I’m gonna get unless I really have some where to be, which is a rarity now. 😷

My sneakers were a birthday treat (to me, from me 💁🏻‍♀️)because Nike.com gives you 25% off for your bday! 🎂

They are Air Force 1 ’07 Essential Sneakers!

I paired the sneakers with stretchy white denim from Gap and this Nike sportswear faded stripe tee.

I love the faded rainbow stripes and the vintage Nike logo on this tee! 🌈

Then I simply added a white hat with the Red Sox logo since I’m from MA and we all know Boston is the best! 😉

I love these sneakers 👟 because they have a sight platform bottom and this particular pair is white with an iridescent swoosh – which is extra cute! 🌈

This pair sold out quick on the Nike website, but they are in stock in a few sizes at some other retailers like Dick’s and Nordstrom. And Nike.com also has this super cute pair in stock:

Nike Air Force 1 '07 Essential Women's Shoe

Iridescent swoosh with a pale pink sneaker! 😍

 

 

 

You can shop this post below!

The top is in stock at Nike.com and on sale for $29! It’s also available at Nordstrom.com but I did notice that sizes are going fast!


I hope everyone has a great day!

I’ll be back with a lifestyle post later in the week sharing some book reviews!

I’ll also be diving into the Nordstrom Anniversary sale soon with going over how it works (it’s a little different and kind of confusing this year 🤯) and my top sale picks!

 

 

Good Morning!

Today I am sharing a casual springtime look! Last weekend it was really nice out, so I took the liberty of wearing my newest pair of white jeans with a chambray shirt. I added my favorite bright pink crossbody bag for a pop of color on an otherwise very neutral outfit.

Hi All!!

So just a quick story about the title of this post!

Yes, everyone knows that 80s movie, but also one time in college I was going to the movies with my roommate, Trem, who was wearing a pink puffy vest. We were at a movie theater in Boston, which was huge and we were going up the escalator. This random old guy was going down the other escalator and as we crossed paths with him, he starts serenading with “prettyyyyy, pretty in a piiiink veeeeesssst” to my roommate. OMG – I cracked up. I’m like “awww Trem, this old guy loves you!!” And from then on any time she ever wore anything pink, I would sing “pretty in a pink shirt” or tank top, shorts, whatever she was wearing that was pink, etc! And to this day I cannot look at a pink vest or watch the movie without thinking of this random time!

So with that little tidbit out, today I am posting a springtime look & sharing a few other springtime sandals that have caught my eye recently!

Hello All!

It’s Wednesday & we are slowly moving through the week!

I wore this outfit on Monday when it was almost 50° degrees! I just couldn’t help myself. It was such a bright, sunshiny day and I had to bust out with a dress for work. I get tired of wearing pants over and over again all winter and needed an outfit change, so I was so excited to wear a dress!

Good Morning!

Today I decided to do a quick athleisure outfit post. I ordered this sweatshirt and leggings from Old Navy a couple of weeks ago when I could redeem my super cash from all of my holiday ordering. I wrote this post (check it out – a lot of those items are on sale now!) sharing what some of my favorite current items were from their website and ordered a couple of them, including what I’m wearing here!

Hi All!

 

I haven’t posted much this week because I went out over the weekend in Boston and have been trying to catch up on sleep! You know you are getting old when one late night out with minimal sleep throws you all off for days! 😉 But today I’m back with an outfit post featuring my latest bag from MZ Wallace – The Large Metro Tote!

Since I’ve been reading blogs for several years, I first discovered MZ Wallace on Bows & Sequins blog where it was featured in a plaid print! It was sooooo cute and of course sold out quick and they have yet to come out with another darling plaid print since. I have been stalking MZ Wallace and their products for a few years since then and even featured their Medium Metro Tote on my women’s gift guide! They only have two physical store locations in NYC, but they are sold at a few department stores as well. I’ve looked over their products at Nordstrom a few times and the Medium Metro Tote is definitely a great everyday tote bag, especially if you have a long commute and need to bring several items with you. Their bags are super lightweight and the quilting is double stitched for extra durability. I wanted the Large Metro Tote because I wanted the bigger size to use as more of travel tote versus an everyday bag. This tote is offered in eleven different colors and I was eyeing the dark blue color, but ultimately went with classic black for compatibility with all outfits and luggage! 🙂 The cost is a little pricey, but I’m banking on it lasting me years so it should be worth it! It also comes with three different sized pouches to help keep you organized!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outfit Details:  Jacket  /  Scarf (old) similar here /  Pullover Sweater  /  Jeggings  /  Sneakers  /  Pouch  /  Tote

This all black ensemble is basically what I wear every. single. day. Any version of Old Navy elastic waist Rockstar jeggings are my best friend because they are more supportive than leggings but are still very comfortable! They also only cost $20 – $25 because they are always running a sale!

The pullover that I’m wearing is by Barefoot Dreams and it really IS a dream!! I’ve had multiple people comment that it looks very cozy on and it IS!! It was on sale before Christmas for 20% off and I am so happy that I purchased it because I wear it at least 3x a week. Their items are a bit on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for and this is definitely a quality item. Anytime that I’m just at home I’m usually wearing this pullover or it’s within arm’s reach in case I get a chill! It’s super warm, but not bulky and it is a casual fit. I purchased it in my usual size small so it runs TTS.

My sneakers are a platform, slip on style by Steve Madden and I loooove the fact that platform sneaks are back!!  I’m all for anything that makes me taller 🙂 I would say these run a little small, so you may what to size up or try on in store!

I also scooped up this large pouch from MZ Wallace. I’m pouch obsessed and I love this one in such a fun print! It’s also perfect for using in the Large Metro Tote! As I was linking it, I just saw that they added a new navy blue color to the in stock selections! love!

 

I hope everyone has a great day! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

Happy Friday!

The holidays are in full swing which means lots of fun attire featuring plaids, patterns, & sequins! I wear a ton of plaid around this time of the year and today I am sharing how to wear a festive plaid tunic from day to night. This time of year there are so many work events and parties and often there is not enough time to do a full outfit change from work clothes to party clothes. So today I am also showing how a few quick changes to your outfit can take you from the office to the party easily!
