Fall Basics 11.26.2014

 Top: Target | Jeans: Forever 21 (similar) | Hat: Prima Donna | Booties: Target | Bag: H&M (similar here, here)

Two things... I've been wearing hats in pretty much every post lately, and you are all probably getting sick of them!! In my defense, my hair got snowed and rained on today, and I didn't particularly feel like re-curling it, so my hat came to the rescue ;) Secondly, I'm sorry for the very odd timing of this post. I had the day off of work but was so busy and hadn't had a chance to shoot photos this week until this afternoon. Hence the late post! But hey, better late than never :)

I know I've done a lot of casual posts lately, but I wanted to share this turtleneck sweater/sweatshirt and booties that I grabbed at Target the other night! I've been wanting a Chelsea style bootie, and was so impressed with the quality and comfort of these for the [great] price.

I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I always enjoy shopping for my mom and sister, but they're both pretty picky, so it can be a difficult task sometimes ;) My mom loves getting things like slippers, throw blankets, and home stuff, and my sister is in college so she usually wants fun things she can't always buy herself like jewelry, sweaters, scarves, books, etc.

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas 11.24.2014

Today I'm collaborating with the gorgeous and incredibly sweet Adry of Adry on the Daily to share some Thanksgiving outfit ideas! Fortunately, Trey's family gathers around lunchtime and my family does more of a dinner, so we get to spend time with both of our families and really enjoy the whole day :) Both of our families are pretty casual and laid-back, so a sweater, jeans and boots is pretty perfect! 

 Sweater: Target (sized up to a medium | tons of colors & all on sale!) | Jeans: H&M | Boots: Vince Camuto | Hat: Sole Society (sold out right now | similar, in black) | Bag: H&M (similar here, here) | Necklace: Urban Gems (via Rocksbox | couldn't find online-sorry!) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: F21, Lily and Laura | Ring: Gorjana | Lips: Revlon 'Berry Haute'

I just love the soft color of this sweater! It looks like this color is low on sizes online, but there are tons of cute colors (I kind of want another one haha)! I usually choose sweaters that are longer and looser, but I love the sophisticated, high-end look of this one, and it's perfect for work too.

xo,

Mizzou Style | Gold Tunic 11.21.2014

Today is the fourth and final installment of our Mizzou Style series! It's been so fun to come up with several looks with Elle and Jacqueline, and I hope we gave you some great outfit ideas for cheering your teams on, whichever they may be (just no Kansas Jayhawks please ;)).

 
Tunic: Forever 21 (on sale! | runs large, wearing size small) | Jeans: H&M | Jacket: Forever 21 (old | similar price point, next step up) | Hat: Prima Donna | Booties: DV by Dolce Vita (similar here, here) | Bag: Phillip Lim for Target (similar steal, 3.1 Phillip Lim) | Watch: Fossil

I actually wore this top for our second Mizzou Style post, but styled it a totally different way here. As a tall girl with a bootie, I always love finding tunic length tops and sweaters, so this Forever 21 find was an amazing steal. 

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! We have a Thanksgiving lunch at work today that I am waaayyy too excited about :)

Jogger Pants 11.19.2014

 Pants: East and Lo c/o (true to size - I sized up & would have been better off with a small) | Blazer: Forever 21 (old | similar + more below) | Tank: J.Crew Factory (on sale!) | Heels: Prabal Gurung for Target (similar here, here) | Bag: H&M (similar here, here) | Sunglasses: Amazon | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: Margaret Elizabeth, Lily and Laura | Nails: Essie 'Fall in Line' | Lips: Revlon 'Berry Haute'

Today I took a bit of a fashion risk by styling jogger pants! They're a really fun trend, and while they have the comfort and feel of sweatpants, they can be dressed up in a bunch of really fun ways for both work and casual wear. I was excited to receive this pair from East and Lo, because they have a cool two-tone design and the heather gray makes them easy to style with black. Definitely check out East and Lo, because they have so many great knits and separates (including tons of cute jogger pants) and some awesome looking jeans... and everything is on sale right now!

Don't forget to shop my first holiday gift guide from yesterday's post! It's an adorable collection of gifts you can mix and match for your besties - all under $35!

I'm someone who absolutely loves picking out gifts for people, and my best friends are so fun to shop for. Over the past couple of years I've started putting together gifts made up of several smaller things so that I'm able to give them a bit more! Plus, I think it's fun to open a few different things anyway.

These adorable gifts are all under $35 (and start at just $5), so you can easily mix and match without breaking the bank! Christmas is just 5 weeks away, so get your shopping on ladies! :)

First Snow 11.17.2014

 Coat: Forever 21 | Sweater: Target | Beanie: Forever 21 (so soft and warm!) | Jeans: Forever 21 (similar) (yikes, that's a lot of F21!) | Booties: DV by Dolce Vita (similar) | Lips: 'Berry Haute' by Revlon

Yesterday was what I would call the perfect Sunday. We had nowhere we had to be, and we got our first snow! It was such a cozy, relaxing day, and so needed before this new work week. 

I purchased this winter white coat at Forever 21 a few weeks ago because I urgently needed a cute, decently warm jacket for a football game the next day, but I'm so glad I got it! It's a nice change-of-pace from a traditional black or charcoal pea coat (although I do need a new one of those too), and it has a slightly dressier feel that's perfect with my work outfits. I went ahead and linked some other F21 jackets/coats below because they have lots of cute ones right now!

November Wish List 11.13.2014

J.Crew Factory Burgundy Blouse (on sale!) | Steve Madden Leopard Slip-On Sneakers | Loren Hope Stud Earrings | Prima Donna Wide-Brim Hat | H&M Faux Fur Vest | Chinese Laundry Over-the-Knee Suede Boot | BaubleBar Statement Earrings | J.Crew Striped Tissue Turtleneck (25% off w/ code 'SHOPNOW')

As we move into winter and holiday season, I just wanted to share a few pieces and trends I have my eye on at the moment!

- I just love the deep wine color of this J.Crew Factory blouse! I already have it in cream and love the long length and flattering fit, so I think I need to add this to my collection and replace my older and lesser quality burgundy tops. Plus it's equally workable for work & casual!

- I never thought I would wear any type of slip-on sneakers again, but gosh all of these leopard ones are so cute! The pair pictured are Steve Madden (available here & here), but I ordered a look-a-like from Payless (little nervous about that haha but only cost me $20), and Prima Donna does too.

- Loren Hope jewelry has absolutely stolen my heart, and I think these 'olive' studs are a beautiful color for winter.

- I want these Prima Donna Hats in just about every color! I've already purchased the black one (worn in this post), and I want to buy the tan and burgundy ones ASAP, but they also have navy, brown and gray. They're a great low-cost option for this fun and flattering trend!

- After a couple of years of going back and forth about faux fur vests (are they really me? would I actually wear one?), I've finally decided I'd like to have one. Now I just have to find a cute, flattering one (I want one that's not too bulky) for a low price! This H&M vest is a cute contender, but I'm not sure if I want a black vest or more of a gray-brown.

- I recently discovered these gorgeous OTN suede boots over on Little Miss Fearless and I'm in love! I don't know if this purchase is going to happen or not, but they had to go on my wish list.

- In my opinion, BaubleBar consistently makes the most gorgeous selection of statement earrings! This pair has been catching my eye lately and would be so pretty for the holiday season.

- And last but not least, have you all noticed how huge turtlenecks have become this fall? I'm on board, but it does crack me up because I remember hating turtlenecks when my mom made me wear them as a kid haha. If you love neutrals and layering, this striped J.Crew option seems to be the go-to this year (and is on the lovely Damsel in Dior today).

---

I hope you enjoyed and got some good shopping inspiration! I'll be starting my holiday gift guides next week, so make sure to check back for those :)

Jacy
