casual chic





Hello and Happy Thanksgiving week!  Ahhh, this is one of my most favorite weeks of the year as the floodgates to the holiday season are about to open and the most glorious time of the year is ready to begin.  But, before it does, I want to take a moment to highlight a lovely little casual look that can take you all the places you need to go leading up to the big day.

Grey, cream and navy are such a gorgeous trio that perfectly embodies the richness of the season with the perfect understated feel I love.  This sweater is such a good option at the minute as it can easily go casual or dressy depending how you pair it.  These trousers complement the feel this look is going for and create that perfect early winter white effect.

If you're searching for a coat, this one comes highly recommended.  I love the look and feel of it worn effortlessly with loafers, heels and hightops alike.  Today, some easygoing Converse fit the bill.  I'm loving them in this shade, so wearable with so many of those wintertime neutrals.

Classic black sunglasses and this stunning handbag will never get old.  I love them both with most everything I wear which in and of itself makes them worth the price of admission.  I love it when getting dressed is this simple and looks this well done.  

I hope everyone is preparing to spend a lovely bit of time with family and friends and taking a moment to reflect upon the most precious things you are thankful for.  Stay tuned for my Black Friday favorites coming your way later in the week.  Have a wonderful week everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone and happy Monday!  Whether the first day out of the weekend is something you love or you're team "one more day", one thing remains true.  You still want to find ways to dress that suit your mood and your style.  For me, I know that sometimes that means relaxed style and in other moments it translates into minimalist chic that's ready for anything.  For today's post, I've combined both options to give us the best of all worlds.  

This dress instantly caught my eye and with such good reason.  I love the color of course as all things neutral own my heart.  But, the style and shape are equally alluring on this one.  I love the high neckline and easy drape of the silhouette.  Clearly, it would easily complement a variety of body shapes and both petite and tall heights.  

A pair of easy sandals or some nice trainers would again both work with this dress depending upon the look you are going for.  Pop on some gold jewelry and a cute sun hat and you are set.  Contrastingly, if you are keeping it quite casual then perhaps you might want to reach for something a bit more along the lines of this summer sweater and these walking shorts.  

I love the soft look and feel of this one and how it blends so seamlessly from one season into another. Pair it with some Bermuda shorts and a pair of loafers for an easy running around look.  A long handled bag like this one is a closet chameleon and would be a perfect choice for either look.  A pair of rose colored glasses rounds out everything we've done here and finishes off my picks for ways to say to hello to a new week.  

Hope you're all enjoying the last full month of summer and getting ready for autumn.  Just the thought makes me giddy.  Haha, more to come on that in the future.  Til then, happy summer!

Hello and welcome back from the weekend!  Is it just me or does anyone else seem to have an obsession with casual knits that are soft, breathable and absolutely perfect for spring and summertime?  Well, if you do then this post will be one you enjoy for sure.  

Today I'm pairing some of my favorite warm weather knits with classic pieces, like these trousers, to create a simple and chic look that is going to be perfect for all the fun things we hopefully all have planned for the coming weeks and months.

So, this gorgeous cashmere scoop neck sweater is something I would somewhat consider a must-have.  Of course you don't need to spend a ton of money on a summer-weight sort of cashmere like this (there are a lot of more affordable options out there as well as sleeveless options like this one).  But, I just love the way it feels so soft and quite comforting against my skin really all season long.  So for me, it's the first one I reach for most days.  

If you're planning a fun date night of outdoor dining or perhaps a nice brunch and you want a reliable piece to begin with then I do highly recommend this one.  I would go ahead and pair it with a lovely pair of long trousers like this pair from Karen Millen.  I simply love the color combination of soft white and taupe and think that it makes for such a well-done and sophisticated look throughout the summer.  

A bit of cognac in the form of leather (like you'll see here on this sandal and this straw tote)  as well as these gorgeous tortoise shell sunglasses, will tie the entire look together while effortlessly taking the eye the full length of the outfit from top to bottom.   Gold studs are a really nice choice to go with this look especially if you'll be wearing your hair up or in my favorite warm weather style, the low bun.  

I hope this look inspires you to take on some of your favorite pieces for spring/summer and style them in a way that makes you feel your absolute best.  Thanks so much for stopping by...Have a lovely day!

I don't know about you but for me, there is just something so alluring about classic pieces that have notably stood the test of time.  Whether that be in the form of slihouette, style or color, these pieces have it.  That chic factor that is unmistakable and so very coveted by those glamorous women who know style and capture it everywhere...aka us girls.  Haha, well it is true.  A classic look remains timeless because of its sheer staying power.  What is it they say? Fashion changes but true style remains. 

That is where we are going today.  To the era of the Jackies, Audreys and Carolyns that we adore for the way they embodied true style and elegance while making it all look completely effortless.  Oh, I do love that.

Now that it is fall, I'm all about the color camel, even more than usual.  I honestly think you could find me wearing it any given day of the week and I never, ever grow tired of it.  That's mostly because it's such a gorgeous, rich color that looks beautiful on everyone and you can wear it in an endless number of ways.

Today I've chosen it in the shape of an oversized, roomy turtleneck that will love being styled with nearly every item you already own.  Now, since it is autumn, I've decided to no longer pair it with white (even though the two together might be my favorite color combo of all time).  Instead, classic blue denim will be taking its place.  This pair of mom jeans has been getting so much wear from me lately.  I love the way they fit and have become a huge fan of the high-waisted look. I never thought I'd say that but if you've worn them then maybe you know exactly what I mean.  

Now, let's take a moment to truly appreciate the star of the show...The Sarah Flint Natalie flat.  I fell in love with this pair of shoes immediately the moment I saw them.  It wasn't hard to do and if you own a pair yourself, you know why.  Timeless, classic and so very chic are three ways to describe their appeal.  I, of course, love them in this color.   It's my unofficial go-to and works with everything, especially throughout the fall.  They also come in a variety of other pretty colors you might love too.  For me, the saddle vacchetta is the best choice.  So pretty and I absolutely love it as a part of this look.  

I decided to go with this bag to add to the other pieces you see here.  Not sure quite where to begin with this one other than to say of course that it is absolutely gorgeous and I do love it. Again the color is perfect for this palette and all things autumn.  I love the drawstring feature and the small bit of gold hardware.  I don't think there are many things that are any better than that, haha.  But truly, this bag will love being in any fall wardrobe.  Love it.

Accessories are always the final touch that either elevate the outfit or take away from the look.   The latter is never good, haha.  Okay so for this look today, I chose this beautiful watch from Olivia Burton.  I think the color is absolutely gorgeous and the size of the face is just right to get noticed but not detract from the outfit itself.  Black sunnies are always, always the right choice.  I don't think anyone has ever gone wrong wearing them I can assure you and today is no exception. I especially adore this particular pair.

And just like that, you have a beautifully styled look for casual events any day of the week.  By now I have learned that styling an outfit does not have to be laborious.  In fact, it's quite the opposite as I so often love putting my favorite pieces together in so many new and different ways.  But, you knew that already.  

So, what looks do you want to see styled for fall? Please leave me a comment below or message me on my Instagram account and I'd be happy to do it.  Thank you for stopping by today and sharing part of your day with me.  See you on Wednesday!

Getting out in nature always brings new perspective and lends remarkable creativity to my thoughts.  Being lucky enough to live close by to several lovely parks, I love any chance I get to spend there taking in the sights.  Grabbing a few comfy essentials make it that much more fun.  A soft hoodie, great pair of cargo or jogger pants and distressed denim jacket are the perfect cute uniform for some time outdoors.  I also love this water bottle for so many reasons.  It is first off, so gorgeous to look at, loves the environment and keeps whatever I put in it the exact right temperature whenever I want to take a sip.  These glasses are also on my list.  Anyone who knows me knows I love my sunnies and this pair  is beautiful.  I always want a hardworking cross body by my side so I, don't have to.  This one is so versatile and I love how it effortlessly embraces both casual and fashion forward moments.  

Hope you're all setting some game-changing goals this week...Let's crush 'em.

There's just something about the fall that requires a weekend or two spent relaxing in the country.  Colorful landscapes, woodsmoke fires, rolling hills and never-ending pumpkin patches playfully adorned with carefully stacked bales of hay.  Each of these makes me inexplicably happy and add to my love of the season.   Naturally, in order to relax, have fun and look good doing so, you're going to need to pack some basic necessities that fit the mood and cover the bases.  Today's picks are just what you'll want and need for some charming countryside fun.  From cozy sweaters like this to mud-splashing kicks like these, the possibilities for casual chic are essentially endless.  A great poncho, a pair of comfy yet flattering denim, a military style jacket and multi-functional scarf are the perfect picks to pack for that escape from the city.  You can find, click and shop all these pieces via the links below.  Hope you're having a beautiful Monday everyone!
