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!

Hello! If you can't already tell, let me say...December has me giddy.  Going into the holidays I honestly wasn't sure how much cheer I might be able to muster but something this year has shown me is that no matter what is going on, happy is always waiting there inside ourselves.  Bring the joy wherever you go and you will follow you everywhere.

That being said, I wanted to share a few favorites from a place that always makes me smile too and that's J.Crew.  While I tend to always find something or two (or three) all throughout the year when I shop, they do holiday unlike any other.  From classic tartans to embellished cozy footwear, it just wouldn't be Christmas without a purchase or two from this preppy icon and they have some MAJOR sales going on right now.

These cozy pjs are some of my holiday favorites.  The black watch pattern is such classic and if you are doing the family pajama moment then I highly recommend this pair.  These slippers are unmistakably J.Crew and so cozy for winter.  They are perfect for around the house but are well-made enough to take a stroll outdoors as well.

These sweaters are two holiday must-haves.  The button detail on this one is so pretty and its fit makes it so easy to wear with everything from jeans and boots to a dressier skirt, heels and this necklace.  This black option offers just he right peek of plaid.  It's so classic and reminds me of spending the holiday abroad in London amid a sweet Charles Dicken's storybook scene.

Coats, hats and gloves all make for wonderful holiday gifts at different price points which is so nice.  This Chateau parka is my very favorite coat.  I bought my first one several years ago in this color and still receive compliments on it, haha.  Since then I also added the black and heather grey to my collection.  Pom pom hats and cozy scarves are the perfect pieces to pair with it and can also make for terrific gift options in and of themselves.

During the holidays (and all year long) it's all about the extras and J. Crew does it so well.  This sequined cami is one of the latest in their collection and would look gorgeous with a silk blazer, winter white jeans and a stunning pair of heels on NYE.  I also think that this headband is so adorable and would look stunning with all black, a red lip and pop of gold jewelry.  Can anyone say holiday!?

Can you tell I'm a J.Crew girl, just a little bit? Haha, if you are too, you can shop all of these picks you see here today in the thumbnails below and pick up something wonderful for yourself too.  Enjoy!

xoxo,

August resonates with me in so many wonderful ways.  Days are long, nights are sultry, no one is in a hurry and we're all just pretty much on vacation time wherever that may be.  Today I wanted to share some pieces I feel are perfect for those said days ahead.  They're just the right blend of relaxation and romance that I absolutely adore.  Summer dresses are, as you know, my jam right now.  This easy, breezy number checks all the boxes.  It has a flowing silhouette, is my favorite length and incorporates simple button detailing giving off just the right bit of interest.  And, it is also under $100.  These sandals and then this hat (similar one here) are the ultimate partners in crime paired with it.  I absolutely love this swimsuit and it's price of under $30.  It's white, has the exact right amount of ruffle detailing and looks amazing on so many different body types.  Oversized sunnies always win the game for me and this pair is everything. Tie your hair back with a sweet scrunch like this one and you have nothing left to do but order a cocktail, haha.  

I hope your Monday is finding you somewhere scenic (or at least relaxing!).  I've found that you don't always have to roam far to find tranquility.  Enjoy your day girls!!

Hello Monday!  Fresh starts to the week always leave me so inspired and ready to reach for new goals.  When affordable closet picks are a part of that equation, it's always a win-win.  Okay, so here are my latest go-to's that work effortlessly as we begin the slow transition from summer to fall (hello khaki, black and animal prints).  And all of them weigh in at under $100!  This floral dress is so pretty and flattering on absolutely every body type.  I'm loving this block heeled ankle cuffed sandal in this gorgeous cognac shade that you can wear right now with whites and creams and again later with early fall hues  like this skirt.  Straw accessories are what we all want and need this moment.  This straw bag is the most versatile piece I own and it is what I reach for whether I'm wearing shorts and a cute tank top (love this one) or a pretty dress.  A great 
statement earring, fun shoe and beautiful pair of sunshades round out my money saving must-haves.  Making your wallet work for you with budget friendly picks like these is the best way to start a Monday.  Don't you think?  Haha, have a great one everybody!

The season of the dress has finally arrived and I couldn't be happier about that!  From the everyday silhouette that beautifully takes us around town to the grand scale (hello, soon-to-be Mrs.), summertime and sweet dresses are the perfect pair.  While every summer has its own special signature style, I'm particularly fond of today's coming and going look.  From keyholed open backs to halters and lace and every ruffle in between, these details are setting styles apart from the ordinary.  This off-the-shoulder chambray number is especially perfect for market strolls and grabbing coffee with the girlfriends.  Another cute option is this striped one by WAYF, a brand I'm currently loving this moment.  My favorite of all though has to be this adorable gingham off-the-shoulder style that is the ultimate summer style to me.  And, if these picks alone were not enticing enough, the price points make them even more tempting...Every one linked below is under $100.  Oh, you're welcome, haha.  Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful week...thanks for reading!
