I always say, "It's the little things" and when it comes to the everyday essentials, they couldn't be more true.  From your beauty rituals to the soft and comfortable things you put against your skin, these little luxuries become bigs ways to enjoy life on the daily.

Beauty routines are huge for me and whenever I find I product I love, I look forward to enjoying it every chance I get.  This bottle of golden sunshine wins that prize right now.  Just a few drops on the ends each night make my hair soft, supple and shiny.  It's also great on wash days as just a few drops give extra moisture when you apply it to damp hair.

The new WFH normal has so many of us reaching for our cozies nearly all the time now and these camis are always in the rotation for me.  They are super comfortable, easy and forgiving and the best thing to layer under everything from sweaters (love this cashmere one) and cardis to sweatshirts and tops.

Speaking of the online work-at-home situation, with it we all could use a pair of these blue blockers to keep our eyes fresh and feeling good.  That and they look cute too!

Daily rituals have become the comforting norm and I can't think of anything better than a delicious way to treat your entire body to silk hydration than with this duo.  This exfoliator and body wash are soooo luxurious and delightful.  They truly make you look forward to sudsing up each day.  

Since the senses are the pathway to everything we are feeling, I love nothing more than the daily treat of a delicious smelling candle.  I have so many favorites as you guys well know, haha but this one is especially nice for a winter's day or night.

Ahhh, it is the little things, isn't it?  Well, if you enjoy them half as much as I do, I've everything here in the thumbnails below.  Hope you love them...have a wonderful Wednesday!

There are so many amazing ways to combine tastes and styles and Paris meets New York is definitely one of mine.  The allure and mystique of elegant French girl style mixed with a bit of that New York City edge get me every time.

This sweater can easily go either way.  Black cashmere is always a must and never disappoints.  Pair it simply with your favorite jeans (loving these lately), a black wool trench, this scarf and bring on the fall.  As an unexpected twist, I say add in these super chic little black boots.  They are so amazing in this color but come in a lighter neutral shade as well if you want to add them to your cognac, ivory and taupe looks.

A classic trench of the wool variety absolutely hits the mark right about now.  I love it in navy as well as the black version.  Either would work for this look.  It's really just a matter of one's personal preference.  For me, I love that little bit of richness and unexpected mystery the navy option exudes.  So chic.

Of course, no look is ever quite finished without some brilliant accessories.  This bag clearly fits the bill.  I really love this brand for its simplicity that always adds just the right touch of class.  These sunnies are new and a must-have for my collection.  It's been a while since I invested, haha.  Gold hoops, this watch and of course a beret round out the look giving it the perfect Paris meets New York feel.

Ahhh, I can not wait for the day when we can all travel freely again! How about you guys? What cities spark your wanderlust?

In the meantime, thank goodness for style journies!

Happy Friday everyone!  Three cheers for the weekend.  What does everyone have planned?  These chic little basics will lead to countless looks to love no matter where you're heading this time.  A classic black turtleneck is definitely a closet must-have for me.  I honestly own about five different ones that I love to layer or wear alone depending upon how chilly it gets and the look I'm going for that day.  This one is super soft and comfortable which means everything when you're layering something over it.  This animal print sweater would be perfect for that!  I love the unexpected placement of the pattern and the neutral background is so pretty and soft.  A pair of jeans you love that loves you back has become a staple in today's world.  I love these as they let you dress them up (hello heels, cashmere and this lipstick) or take them casual with a graphic sweatshirt and chic sneaks.  This bag had me planning a way to add it to my closet the moment I saw it, haha.  From the drawstring style to the beautiful shade of red, it is the perfect way to elevate any look you may be wearing.  I always love to round out my outfit with a fun hat like this and a pair of sunnies as I'm sure you know!  The number of styles and way to do it adds so much personality to every look.  Who couldn't love that?!

Hope your Friday has you heading somewhere fun and exciting.  I'm looking forward to Super Bowl Sunday...not for the fandom but of course for the food!  Here's to a win for all....have fun everyone!

Hi beautiful friends!  How was everyone's weekend?  I couldn't help notice the hint of fall that was in the air here on the east coast...and I loved it!  I even had to break out the apple scented candle I've been stashing since July, haha.  Definitely a good decision.  If you need a delicious one this is the one to try.  

Okay, so for today's style inspo I'm taking back to one of my original most-loved favorites...J.Crew.  Throughout the 2000s I was simply so enamored with everything that this brand created.  From their cashmere sweaters and tailored coats to collection pieces and beautiful ballet flats, they seriously could do no wrong, haha.  Even their catalogs were absolutely dreamy with photoshoots cataloging Itly, Scotland and the best of Europe, making you feel like you were there.  If you've never seen them check them out on Pinterest.  

While there had been a time since then that found me less in love with the direction the brand had been going, after recently shopping their latest fall line I feel like they are returning to those much-loved roots and I couldn't be happier!  So much so that I decided to feature some of my latest favorites here today.  Specifically, their sweaters, jackets and accessories have really caught my eye.  I love the fabrics, the fit and the colors.  So pretty and perfect for fall.  I also suspected that some changes may have taken place in the design and buying offices and after talking with some of those in the know, it seems I am right.  I love that news and find it so exciting for the brand as well as for us the buyers.  Definitely a fun win win!  

This tissue tee turtleneck instantly caught my eye.  If you're familiar with this particular piece and end up getting it in this print, you'll notice that it is slightly different than the solids which are a bit softer and thinner feeling.  I sized up in this and really love the way it feels and looks.  I also think the use of print to add interest is a genius idea when done correctly.  This can be tricky to achieve but in eyeing the line I really liked much of what I've seen.  This fuchsia color is a complete crave for me right now, so gorgeous!

I've linked the looks I fell in love with for you below.  Take a look and let me know what you think.  I'd love to see your favorites too!

Sweater weather has officially arrived on the east coast and I could not be happier!  Chunky, oversized, turtleneck and lace-up styles are just a few of those I'm currently loving at this moment.  The options are endless and the days are handpicked for each one of them.  This peek-a-boo back option by Olivia Palermo has definitely caught my eye.  The hue, drape and elegance each up the interest factor of this day-to-night must-have.  A more casual take in yet the same shade is this lace-up number. Wear it with jeans and sneakers or skinny pants and stilettos. Your day, your way...make it amazing.  I'm also thinking of buying a new, soft and cozy caramel cashmere turtleneck which will undoubtedly give me miles of wear.  This one looks delicious.  You can shop each of these lovelies in the links below along with my other favorites for fall.  Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday!
