NEW JEANS THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE

I got these jeans in the mail on Tuesday and immediately knew we had to shoot them that evening so I could get a review up for you all asap!

The Scarf of my Dreams

We spent this past weekend in Chicago and while we did get up and snap these pics one morning, I certainly did not sport this outfit for long–it was HOT!  I was really glad that we scheduled our boat tour early Saturday morning at 9am before the heat of the day.  Which, by the way, if you are in the city then I highly recommend!  We did the architecture river tour and the guide told us such interesting tidbits about the buildings without being the least bit boring and there was a full bar, air conditioning and bathrooms on the lower deck.  A view and a mimosa was the perfect start to the day!

But in contrast to the last few days, it is going to cool off soon [thankfully the forecast confirms this] & I cannot wait to pull out some of the layering pieces I have been collecting.  One of which is definitely this new grey, textured Rebecca Minkoff scarf from Nordstrom.  I have been stalking their accessories section of the site daily–seriouslyyy– because I know they have good options every year (think trend and quality combined) and I am beyond ready for Fall & Winter goodies!

It is no secret that I think a wrap like this is the perfect thing to have in anyones closet.  && once I saw the texture on this one I could not pass it up.  I love the shade of grey and how many different ways you can tie it. Plus–the material isn’t itchy, which is key!

Here are a few other options from Rebecca Minkoff..  I love each one!  It will be hard not to order a couple more of these, that’s for sure.

Below you can see how I’ll wear this piece: draped around my neck, over my shoulders as a wrap or wrapped up tightly for warmth.

Last night was our first night home with the animals after being away and I have to tell you, it was a good feeling to be back on the couch cuddled up with them watching Gossip Girl as I wrote this post.  We ordered pizza for dinner and skipped the workout.  Not bad for a Monday!  Hopefully I can get back on track today but I am always a firm believer to easing back into work after a great weekend away.  Hope you all are having a good week!

Edgy Accessories

We’re spending the weekend at Lake Arrowhead with my fam for the holiday and today we got up early and headed to grab some coffee and brunch. You may have seen on my Instastory, but it ended up being the cutest coffee shop, Read Shop, and the yummiest brunch spot, Paces and Vine.  Both are right outside of Atlanta.

We spent the afternoon floating in the water and paddle boating. This is the nicest private lake and I highly suggest renting a place within this community if you are looking for a weekend away!

Even though it is still warm here I have Fall on the brain.  I know I will be pulling out my black jeans and boots, both are staples in my closet, but I also plan to work in some edgy accessories.  Rebecca Minkoff is my go-to.  The style is right on trend (not a season behind, like some brands) and I have always had good luck with the quality.  My love bag has been on heavy rotation since last Fall–I cannot get enough of the black bag paired with the black hardware and I always end up reaching for it when some of my other bags seem too busy for my outfit.  I think it’s the perfect size (fits my wallet and sunglasses easily) and I love having the back pocket for my phone.  A great alternative to the Chanel Le Boy bag in the old medium size!

The latest Rebecca Minkoff accessory that caught by eye are these statement earrings.  I was dying for these and decided to scoop them up in the silver!  (It looks like that finish is sold out at the moment, but they also come in yellow and rose gold.)  Stars are EVERYWHERE right now and that will continue into the cooler seasons.  Bonus: these earrings are actually super easy to wear since they are VERY lightweight!  I can’t wait to sport them with a ponytail and turtleneck sweater! I also have my eyes on these ear jackets–LOVE.

Here are a few other jewelry finds that also feature stars that I am loving:

I’m looking forward to a short work week!  I leave for New York Fashion Week in a couple days–I can’t believe it’s so soon–and I hope you all follow along.  Stay tuned for a vlog on my YouTube channel as well!

Fall Sweaters: Quality over Quantity

Sweater || Shorts || Mules similar here & here || Handbag || Sunglasses || Weekend Rings || Thumb Ring

And just like that, I am ready for Fall–and it’s all because I found a sweater that I am OBSESSED with.  As soon as I saw this Free People number, I added it to my cart and purchased immediately.  It is so luxe.  The perfect amount of slouch, the amazing soft, velvet-y material and the retro color scheme of the stripes… gives me all sorts of heart eyes!  It’s even better in person too. [wearing an xs]

I paired it with my favorite denim shorts and mules here for an evening at our lake house, but I cannot wait to wear it with black jeans and sneakers.  And how cute will it be with a black mini skirt and tall boots?  Dying.

After a recent closet clean out, I took a look at some of the sweaters I kept and am still really excited to wear again this year.  It got me thinking about quality vs quantity.  I want to make sure the sweaters I spend money on this year will be ones that are of substance, ones that I will want to have still around in 2018 and beyond.  This one certainly fits the bill!

Turns out, this is not the only ahh-maze Free People sweater that is out already this year either.  How good are these?!

Ok, now I am ready for weekends with warm lattes and red wine! ha! Who’s with me?

Oh, and ps–totally unrelated but this made me so happy last night so I had to share.  I tried the ClickList service Kroger offers now, the one where you can place and pay for your order online and then select a time to pick it up from the store.  LIFE CHANGER!  I have no idea why I waited this long to give it a try.  (Especially since the grocery puts me in a horrrrible mood.)  It’s going to save me so much time, money and stress!  Comparing prices online is so much easier than dodging people in the aisles trying to see the tags and I think I will make less trips this way too because I will get multiple of things that I normally wouldn’t because I wanted to avoid carrying it.  Seriously, give it a try and let me know what you think.

Cheers to Hump Day, loves!

Deep V Tank

Tank [also found here on sale!] || Bralette || Jean Shorts, similar || Sandals [true to size]|| Handbag || Earrings [very lightweight] || Sunglasses

Apparently I am the girl who snaps pics of her outfit at a local, casual resturant.  Yep, that’s me haha!  But it is important to me to show you all outfits that I wear in my real life.  And this is an outfit that I wore out to get some ceviche and a marg with Ethan.  It’s easy and these earrings make it fun, right?!  Those colorful pom poms won me over! Bonus: This deep v tank is on sale now for only $18! Ive worn it lots because you can dress it up or down. [wearing a small in the tank and bralette]

I know we are in the heat of Summer right now, hence my outfit above, ha!  And even though I, for one, am not ready for it to be over–I am still really excited for warm nights on the patio and days spent on the lake–but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t also excited about the idea of new sweaters, boots and moto jackets!  That’s the beauty of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale being right around the corner.  I can spend some time picking out new items for the seasons ahead, buy them on sale and then hop right back into my swimsuit!  And when the cooler temps hit I will have new goodies to pull back out.

Sooooo, don’t forget the sale begins on Thursday and if you are a Nordstrom cardholder then you can shop the sale right away.  Trust me you want to do this because items sell SO quickly.  Apply now so you have access!  And remember, you can always choose to purchase with your Nordstrom card or one of your existing cards.

Read my full post from last year to see what type of card I have.  After having mine for a year now, I can honestly say I would recommend it and I wouldn’t suggest it to you all if I felt otherwise.

I will be covering the sale here with several posts and I will also be sharing tid bits on my Instagram page and story so be sure to stay tuned!
