Ankle Strap Heels

I can’t believe it’s April already, but I am really excited!  I feel like everyone has so many different events coming up soon.  We have an out of town wedding to go to next weekend and the weekend after we will be at Keeneland and out with friends and the weekend following that I will be in Dallas for the RewardStyle Conference.  And I know I am not the only one who has a full calendar–sooo, that got me thinking about shoes.  I am not a gal who wears heels during the week (gimmie me all the comfy ones M-F) but some of these upcoming events require them.  So what’s my go-to style?  An ankle strap sandal.

They are minimal, understated and sleek.  Because of this, they pair well with soooo many different outfits and work for soooo many different occasions.

This pair has been on heavy rotation since I bought them last Fall.  I wear them with jeans, dresses and skirts.  I cannot believe I have not been back for another pair yet either. They come in oodles of other options & are under $90!  [runs tts]

I know several people have and love these too.  They are really similar and come in some different color options so I think they would be a great pick too!

ps, this slip dress is one that you need.  It’s such an easy one to throw on and packs really well because of the material.  I would definitely wear it with sneakers too!  [runs big, wearing a xxs]

These are my most recent sandal purchase and I am loving them because they are a bit more edgy.  I paired them with some new Levi’s [size up!] and a black bodysuit for an easy weekend look and I cannot wait to wear them with a mini dress too!  They’re also under $90 and come in three other neutral colors too.  [runs tts]

I should also say that I have these and I also LOVE them.  Since they were a splurge, I wear them more for special occasions but I definitely recommend them as well.  I cannot wait to add the black to my closet too one day.

&& if you’re not in the market to invest in a pair then these are a GREAT alternative to the Stuart Weitzman pair!  They are just as classic and easy to dress up or down.

Also great–these!  Very similar, but I think the placement of the strap on the side of the foot makes them a bit more dressy.  They would be perfect with a cocktail dress.

Side Note:  I think clear sandals are going to be a big trend in the upcoming seasons & I am ready to jump on board!  I keep seeing them pop up here and there and I’m obsessed.  I just ordered these and I cannot wait to get them in.

I will add some of my other favorites from Nordstrom below for you all too.  I really enjoyed scrolling through and picking these out!

What kinds of events do you all have coming up?!  Anything fun on the calendar that you are counting down the days to??

Classic White Top

Nothing beats a good white top, right?  And they can be pretty hard to find.  So many are way too sheer–or they have a drop shoulder–or they have a rolled up sleeve with button tab mid way up your arm, none of which are my favorite.  But when I got this one in the mail I was pleasantly surprised.  The quality is a thumbs up and the back of the top is a knit material.  Makes it comfortable!  [wearing an xs]

I love that this top can be worn two ways–long or tied up in the front.  With these options it’s perfect for work & play!

My jeans are new.  High-waisted and stretchy, should I say more?!  If you order remember to size up though.  [wearing a 26×30]

Oh, && if you aren’t in the market for a white top–then get this one in one of the other color options.  There are tons to choose from (I want the black next, obviously)!  Petite sizes available too. 😉

You all may have seen me mention the new show we’ve been watching on IG a couple days ago–The Missing.  We just finished Season 1 last night and if like mysteries then it’s a must watch!

Sweatshirt Lover

I have been FULLY on board with the athleisure trend for a long time now but over the past few months I have fallen completely in love with sweatshirts!  They are so darn comfortable and easy to wear–always have been though.  However, now there are just really cute options.  For that reason I always find one in my cart, ha.  My latest purchase?  This adidas number.  I LOVE the black on black.  So chic right?  And the detailing on the sleeves and hem?  Everything.  What surpised me though was the material.  It feels so good.  [wearing an xs]

I wore outfit on Saturday when we went out to grab some lunch.  We ended up running into a bunch of Ethan’s friends so we stayed and watched the UK game with them and then came home, grabbed the animals and headed straight down to my Dad’s lake house.  We had my sister and her friends over the night before to celebrate her 21st birthday (snacks, drinks, loads of cute balloons && fun props for a photo booth included!) so a night in being lazy and ordering pizza sounded so perfect.

I hope you all had some lounge time this weekend as well!  We have some busy (but super fun) weekends coming up so I was super thankful that this one was relaxing!

ps–as I was writing this post I stumbled across these sunglasses in gold.  I have (and love) the black already and I’ve have been waititng for the other colors to come back in stock forever so I immedately bought a pair.  I highly suggest you snag some for Spring & Summer!

pss–be sure to check out the new goodies that I’ve bought recently here if you haven’t already!

The Caaaa-utest Sweatshirt!

Sweatshirt || Jeans, similar ||  Mules || Choker || Sunglasses || Handbag, similar found here || Earrings || Watch

Goodness–I do not know why it took me so long to buy this sweatshirt!  I saw it online a while back and I liked it but I never pulled the trigger.  But, I ended up buying it last week and it came in on Friday and I could NOT love it more.  See, here’s the beauty of it… it feels like a comfy sweatshirt but it looks like a cute sweater becuase of the cut, fit and caaaa-ute sleeves!  Perfection.  [wearing an xs]

&& here’s the other thing, I cannot believe I bought it in red.  So not me, at all!  But for some reason I loved this color with the texture.  I wore it to brunch yesterday with these fur mules that are getting lots of wear.  They’re easy & fun!  If you’re not into the faux fur then these are a great option too!

I hope you all are having a really good weekend! 🙂

Keeping it casual for Super Bowl Sunday

BlankNYC Suede Jacket || Stripe Tee || Topshop Jeans || Slip-on Sneakers || Quay High Key Sunglasses || Givenchy Handbag, less expensive dupe found here || Earrings || Ring || Lips, color is Cherish

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!  I’ve never understood why the Super Bowl isn’t on a Saturday.  Wouldn’t it be much more fun to pig out and have a party for the game if it was on a Saturday night?!  But no one asked me, haha!

However–I do have a new found like for the Super Bowl becuase Ethan and I met on this weekend!  So it’s actually our “meet-aversary”.  I know that’s not a real thing, but hey–any reason to celebrate something is a good one in my book!

We have a low key evening going on over here.  I wore this outfit to meet Ethan’s fam for an early dinner tonight and now we’re settled in at home watching the game.  (aka, I am blogging and online shopping while pausing for commercials)

I’ve worn this jacket a million times (twice just this weekend) but I love that becuase it’s such a good feeling to spend money on something that definitely ends up being worth it.  I highly suggest snagging one for yourself. It comes in 5 other colors now too!  [wearing an xs]

On the way out the door to dinner I reached in my drawer and randomly found a lipstick that I haven’t used in a while and I forgot how much I LOVE it.  For me, this is the perfect nude.  [color: Cherish]

Hope you all have had a good weekend! Muah!
