Cozy for the Snow
1.14.2016

Sweater: Nordstrom (40% off) | Leggings: Zella (the best!)

Boots: Hunter | Mittens: Anthropologie (10 color options + extra 40% off sale price w/ code XTRA40)

Beanie: F21 (similar) | Socks: H&M

Over the weekend we had the most beautiful snowfall (more on that in this post), so we got to pull out all of our favorite warm clothes and accessories. I just got this sweater from Nordstrom for 40% off and it's amazing! It's soft and I love that it's long and slimming (perfect to wear with leggings!). I also got these mittens because I didn't have any cute gloves, and I'm a bit obsessed. They are fleece-lined so they're so comfy-cozy, plus the colors are adorable! They come in 9 other colors as well and you can get an extra 40% off the sale price with the code XTRA40...

Last but not least, I can't even tell you how glad I am that I finally bought Hunter boots. I put off purchasing them for years because they're pretty pricey, but I now wear mine all the time. It's reassuring to know that I can still look cute without ruining my other shoes. They're not necessarily made for snow since they're not lined, but I just layered a couple of pairs of thick, tall socks and was fine. If you're going to be in extreme cold or out in the snow for hours on end then you'll want some snow boots, but for where we live and our lifestyle I don't really run into those situations, so the Hunters work great!

I hope you're having a great week! I've been working some long hours this week, so I'm really looking forward to the 3-day weekend! xo

Rainy Day Layers
11.19.2015

Jacket: c/o Lookbook Store | Sweater: June & Beyond Boutique

Boots: Hunter | Leggings: Zella (my favorite ever!)

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Tee: H&M

This look is super casual for me to blog, but we had a lot of rain this week and it was the first chance I've had to wear my new Hunter boots. I'm so happy I finally bought them! They're such good quality and actually pretty flattering for rain boots. I almost went out on a limb and bought them in red... but went with the black after all... no surprises there ;)

Rainy Day Inspiration
9.09.2015

Trench | Boots | Umbrella | Scarf | Hat (only $12!)

We're getting some rain this week, which has reminded me that I'm probably the most unprepared person when it comes to rain. I do not currently own rain boots or even a fully functioning umbrella. The only rain jacket I have is a sporty-style one, and I love it, but it looks so insanely awkward over work attire (fun times running into work in a black waterproof jacket and pencil skirt). I've wanted Hunter boots for years and have got to make myself pull the trigger on them this year (especially because I have no shoes to wear in the snow either). Except - what color do I get?? Matte red, matte black, or something else? If you're not wanting to splurge on Hunters or don't like tall rain boots, I also love these and these that are ankle-height.

Also, I've always had the feeling that I can't pull of a trench coat, but I think if I go with a more draped style like above that I'll still feel myself in it since it's not as preppy. I just have a major mental block with them that I need to get over! I see girls looking chic in them all the time.

Despite these gaping holes in my wardrobe, one of my favorite style tips when it rains is to wear a hat and scarf! Both of these pieces can always pull together a look in my opinion, but especially when it rains and you want to keep your hair dry -or- your hair is already a frizzy or limp disaster. I like to wrap my scarf around my neck but over my hair, and then top off my look with a hat. If it's a warm/muggy rainy day, a little cotton scarf like the one above is perfect!

Any rainy day items I need to know about??

January Wish List + Nordstrom Giveaway
1.12.2015

Aerie pom pom beanie | Bauble Bar statement earrings | TopShop mittens | Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil (has such good reviews)

NARS lipstick (I've heard it's amazing!) | Aerie joggers | H&M sweater (clearance!)

Hunter boots | Old Navy slip-on sneakers | Gap backpack | ILY Couture Wifey tee

I've thought Hunter boots were stinkin adorable for ages now, but have never quite been able to pull the trigger on buying them because something about a $150 price tag for rain boots bugs me a bit. But seeing as we're right in prime time for winter weather and I don't even own rain or snow boots, I think this might be the month I finally buy them. I've also wanted a pair of slip-on sneakers for several months now and had purchased a pair of leopard ones, but they didn't fit correctly. SO, now I'm ordering this awesome black pair from Old Navy, but I'm also keeping my eye on all of the cute options Forever 21 has right now (including this ah-mazing metallic gold pair).

And then a few of these items I've already purchased this month... I'm on a huge beanie kick right now (may or may not have purchased 4 last week including the pom pom one above) because they add a bit of edge and texture to an outfit and for the most part they're a super cheap accessory! Aerie, Forever 21, H&M and Old Navy have really cute ones right now. I also purchased the Aerie jogger pants above because I needed some cute loungewear and they're super super comfy! And last but not least, I got this adorable and daring orange H&M sweater on clearance and it's so cute and still in stock (available in several colors).

I'm also SO excited to be teaming up with a wonderful group of bloggers to give away a $590 giftcard to Nordstrom! Nordstrom is one of my favorite places to online shop because you can get just about everything there and they have so many amazing brands.

Good luck!

(Open to residents of the US & Canada. Giveaway runs through January 18 and winner will be announced January 21.)
