chic Saturday: Ted Baker London

Ted Baker London

Valentine's Day is coming and if you still need to find something they will love, I've rounded up some gift ideas I think would be adorable and much appreciated by all the ones you want to treat.

Guys love practical presents and we love for them to look cute and smell great. These presents will do all of that. This pair of sneakers is the perfect finishing touch to anything he loves to wear. This wallet is rugged yet stylish making it a great choice for the guy who wants one, the other or both. Cologne is almost always a great bet and this one smells sooooo good, he'll love it. And, if this year marks a special occasion or you just want to splurge and spoil him, a handsome statement watch can not be beat.

The little ones love getting treated too and along with candy and stickers, this sweet top by Janie & Jack is an adorable way to express how much you love them.

Hints of love around the house make me so happy no matter what time of year it is and candles are the number one way to set the mood. This one is Valentine's ready in the box and carries the intoxicating scents of jasmine, mandarin and lavender. Pull it out and then toast to the two of you with these adorable his & hers glasses.

Saving the best for last, don't forget about the Galentines! Sisters, moms and besties all love to be pampered and Valentine's Day is always a time I love to help them do that. Skincare is top on the list when it comes to fun ways to take self-care up a notch. This line is one that I have been using for several years and highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in effective, clean beauty. Any gal would love the gift of this sheet mask. It's genius at pushing in and plumping up all the moisture winter skin craves. This lip mask does the same and I am completely addicted! Soft, cuddly pjs are another sweet way to say "love you lots" to any lucky ladies in your life. This pair happens to be adorable.

I'd love to hear what you're wanting and buying this Valentine's Day!

These sunshine days and gorgeous weather have me wanting to wear all of spring and summer's prettiest picks and sweetest finds. If you've shopped the stores recently you've definitely noticed all the feminine touches and alluring little accents that are everywhere. And in a few words....I love them! From bow-tied waists to off-the-shoulder ruffles, the devil is most definitely in these details. Floral patterns and unexpected takes on the classic (like these slip on sneakers) are on the most-wanted list. Also, don't forget skincare and sun-prep on these daylight drenched days. I can confidently say that I've yet to try something from this line that I didn't love. Caring for your skin now and giving it a little TLC will go long way in years to come. Hope everyone is enjoying this springtime week. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sunshine Day

Some pretty little inspo for you. These are some of the prettiest ways to perfect your look. Soft shades and subtle enhancers can take your look from so-so to she's got that glow. Who couldn't say yes to that? Hope your week is wonderful so far...thanks for stopping by!

Pinks & Pretties

blithe

Whether shopping to you means scoping out the stores, rummaging through the racks or perusing the many pages of Pinterest, one thing remains the same and that is....ruffles and bows are everywhere. From the demurely exposed shoulder to the indispensable summer slide, these pretty little adornments are refreshing the classics and ramping up the romance factor. Speaking of romance I'm absolutely loving how pale pinks, chambrays and gorgeous pastels are all playfully sharing the spotlight with bolder hues and prominent patterns (like this fun little top and this gorgeous one piece). If I had to choose right now three key pieces that embrace this feel and instantly amp up the wardrobe they'd have to be....a chambray dress (love this one), an adorable swimsuit (or impossibly elegant one) and a versatile pair of bow-tied slides - perfect all summer long. Happily, the options and price points are plenty. That alone takes a good shopping day and makes it great. I've linked the pieces above down in the thumbnails below along with a few other sweet options. Enjoy and Happy Wednesday!

When the weekend rolls around so many good things come to mind. Not the least of which is date night. Today I've put together several of my favorite romantic looks for springtime. From ruffles to sequins and florals to bow details, these pieces can pair and play in the sweetest of sexy ways. This top is perfect with everything from these pants to a gorgeous classic glam skirt like this. I'm also loving these gorgeous dresses (oh this one!) and the oh-so-many feminine frocks and frills happening right now. Hope you have something fun planned for the first weekend of spring...Enjoy!

When it comes to fashion, style knows no borders. From east coast to west coast, across the pond and well beyond, trendsetters and trailblazers are inspiring our looks on the daily. Those who know me well will always tell you that I'm a Parisian girl at heart and essentially they are right. Yet still, somewhere inside my love for great style, there lives an affinity for the great city of London. From its iconic place in history to the landmark-filled bridges and streets, London town is rich with tailor-made style. What was once formal and fussy has now evolved into fashionable and fresh. Miss Middleton may likely have a bit of something to do with that. This is so true, in fact, that many of the British-based fashion it-girl favorites have now found their way to the U.S. behind the great names we've all fallen for...well hello, Ted Baker, Jo Malone, Liberty, Burberry and TopShop. The collaborations they've created are equally alluring and for that I say thank you J. Crew and Nordstrom. What was once a simple adoration of an accent has now become a full on love affair with taste and timelessness. If you're feeling the London vibe like I am you'll want to shop these British beauties below. Enjoy and happy Friday!

Tomorrow's the day to show and share your love. Why not send a little of that caring your own way with a day of pampering that leaves you feeling like a queen? Today I'm sharing some of my favorite products and ways to treat myself to a day (or even just a few moments) of divine luxury. This new fragrance from Tory Burch is definitely love at first sight. The gorgeous packaging, romantic little bottle and delicious scent are exactly what you'd expect from Ms. Burch (aka the queen of affordable luxury). So in love. This robe is just the thing you'll want to slip into when getting ready for a great night out (or equally wonderful night in). It is a bit on the extravagant side but this is an excellent alternate option that's wallet friendly and just as gorgeous. Finally, maybe the ultimate treat that'll last long after the glow of Valentine's Day, this bag is everything right now...clearly words can not do it justice, haha. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday snuggled up with the one you love!

Perfectly Pampered

Happy Wednesday! What a wonderful day to enjoy all things pink. That could be any day really because blush tones make me happy any and all times of the week, month or year. There's something especially nice though about rose tones in winter when we are all longing for pops of color and bits of sunshine. And, because it's only January, pairing them with smokey neutrals and winter white makes for a lovely escape from the fashion doldrums. This sweater would be perfect when worn with a chic pair of wide legged trousers, this nude heel and topped with a cloud grey belted wrap coat. Small touches of pink are just as nice too. I've been using this beautiful iPhone case I got for Christmas for a month and smile each time I see it. I've linked some of my other pastel favorites below...hope you adore them as much as I do! Have a sweet day everyone!

The weekend's arrived and it's time to play. What better place to start than in your beauty bag? This month one of my favorite things to do is toss out the old and bring in the new. By that I mean give your beauty arsenal a good going through and toss out anything that no longer serves a purpose or isn't bringing you joy. After all, the time you spend on your makeup routine is meant to be enjoyed and pampering not messy nor stressful.

Once you know what must go, you'll easily know what you need. For me I'm certain that all things pink are what my skin adores right now. From pretty blushes to glowing glosses, blushing nudes are the exact right touch for winter skin. This Tarte palette will warm up any cold weather complexion and combines shades for both eyes and cheeks. This YSL lip color looks incredible on everyone and this warm and inviting scent has me wanting to wrap myself up in it day and night. Plenty of other pretty in pink choices are linked below. Find your favorite and treat yourself right....Happy Friday loves!

When it comes to beauty favorites my list is forever growing with new and improved products and tools that get my skin glowing and make easy work of primping up. Even if you're not a beauty junkie but more of a plain and simple kind of girl (or know someone who is), these are some of the best holiday gift finds that I love and you (and she) will too! Every Christmas I just can't wait to see what gorgeous little gift collections Bobbi Brown will come up with next. This Bobbi Brown deluxe cheek and eye palette is so beautiful and the perfect gift for anyone who loves the line or just wants to get gorgeous this holiday. The colors complement each skin tone and give you that understated beauty look she is famously noted for. Amazing! It even comes with a baby blending blush and perfect size mirror for beauty on the go. These glosses from the Laura Mercier lip glacé collection are lush and lovely. They are the perfect neutrals and pretty pops of color that keep my lips luscious and moist during cold and windy days. Winter weather and the lack of sun can rob skin of moisture and glow. A really good luminizer can bring back what you've lost by imparting an ethereal, lit from within look. This mineralize skin finisher from MAC would make the perfect stocking stuffer for any girl looking to dazzle. These brushes in the Sigma 'basic face kit' brush set are incredibly dense and soft. They impart color beautifully and clean up like a dream. Try this glove and brush cleanser to keep your set looking just like new. Holiday nights are perfect for getting glam and nothing says 'party look' more than loose and lovely curls. This curling wand from T3 creates tons of volume and loose bouncy waves that you'll love for days! A sweet spot to keep your tiny treasures is as much fun as playing with all the products themselves. This Ted Baker bow cosmetic case is just darling and the perfect gift for the girl who has everything. Hope these pretties help you get some of your shopping underway…Have a beautiful Wednesday!

The impending change of seasons means transition time for one's wardrobe and wonderful news for all the 'wear now, wear later' pieces you may be craving this minute. Even if you haven't added one new piece to your closet you can still take advantage of this style moment with a little clever mixing and matching. To achieve this easy summer into fall look, take a classic piece you've been wearing all season like this soft chambray blouse. Instead of paring it with those white shorts this time, try putting it together with a knee length black skirt like this and some edgy leather peep toe booties. They're the next step towards fall that gives a nod to summer's end. A casually luxe bag with some gorgeous gold hardware detailing kicks it up a bit by elevating the look to everyday glam. These gorgeous sunnies (which I really want right now), a felt floppy and this statement watch take the look and tie it all together effortlessly well. Really, it's as simple as that and it's all something you can do with the pieces you already own. What could be easier?

Hope this little wardrobe redeux inspires you to find new ways to wear old favorites moving forward. Wishing you a lovely day!

Happy Friday, loves! The weekend is here and for most of us that means a more relaxed attitude and wardrobe to go with it. While I've always been a sweater girl for as long as I can remember, my current closet crave is the cape. Sometimes known as the poncho, this piece takes everything I love about a cozy sweater and raises it up a notch or two. Oh, I just love it! Easy lines, a flirty swing and a fashion forward flavor, the cape is the wear anywhere must-have I'm loving right now.

When it comes to styling it, the options are endless. The way I like it best is casually worn with Saturday denim, tall boots and an easy shoulder bag. This look works on everybody and is perfect for a Saturday stroll or day around town. This check plaid version from Ted Baker is one of my favorites this season. I especially love how you can dress it up with these boots or down with a pair of Hunters. When reaching for a fall-inspired dress, this poncho is the perfect topper with its adorable pocket detailing and easy-to-wear feel. Celebs seem to be feeling the look too as is the case with style girls Olivia Palermo and Rosie Huntington. They both look fabulous in this monogrammed color-blocked blanket poncho. Ahhh-mazing.

I hope you all enjoy a beautiful weekend wrapped up in your favorite style. Thanks so much for reading!
