You know that feeling...the one you get when it's just so cold outside that all you want to do is cozy up?  January seems to be quite familiar with it too and that is why, come the weekend, I want nothing more than to reach for the warmiest, coziest pieces that will keep me feeling toasting while still looking cute.

It's no surprise that pinks, greys and ivories have made it to this party too, haha.  But they are some of the prettiest ways to achieve that goal.  This funnel neck bouclé sweatshirt for example makes for the perfect layering piece whether you're going out or staying in.  It is super casual paired with your favorite yoga pants but just as easily tops off this ultra-comfortable pair of grey straight-leg denim.  These New Balance sneakers are topping my list right now.  The color, fit and style are all perfect in my eyes.  

When it comes to outerwear, I have to say that if it isn't warm, comfortable and flattering, I am not going to want to wear it.  Lucky for me, this jacket checks all the boxes.  I love that it is insulated yet lightweight and has a drawstring-waist feature that lets you tailor it to be exactly the way you like it.  A sweet pom pom beanie makes for its perfect counterpart of course.  

A fit tracker, set of hair ties, swipe of buttery balm and sunnies make for the best weekend accessories.  Casual and easy alongside warm and feeling fantastic are the keys to a wonderful weekend for me.  How about you all?  Any fun plans and ways to dress for them?  I'd love to know!

Enjoy!

Friday is one of my favorites.  How about you? I thought so.  It's hard to argue with any chance to relax, recharge and rejuvenate, isn't it?  Well of course we need some simple yet chic pieces that provide the look of effortless style while we are enjoying ourselves on the weekend.  I think that these pieces do that so well.  

My number one rule for creating any look is to keep it simple.  I've found that this nugget of wisdom seems to really apply to all facets of my life.  Things go oh-so-well whenever I do that.  So, how does that translate into creating a styled look?  Simply by keeping your color scheme at a minimum and gravitating towards updated classics that enhance and flatter your body.  Clothes will speak for themselves if you let them and any extra volume you may want to add can be easily achieved via your well-chosen accessories.  

A timeless piece is where I always like to start.  This black turtleneck fits that criteria perfectly.  Not only will it be what I reach for again and again whenever I'm dressing down, but it is also something that I will pull when I am putting together a classic slightly more elevated look.  That is something I can get into with you another day but for now, let's keep putting together this easy weekend chic outfit.

These jeans are one of my favorite relaxed pairs.  I love them again with this turtleneck and these low top leather trainers.  Never to be without my sunglasses, this pair is one of my new favorites.  They are completely classic and therefore timeless which makes them the perfect choice for a look like this one.  Fall weekends are hat required days and this caramel one is such a great choice.  Its gorgeous color makes it fall-ready and it will also be a beautiful choice with other autumn neutrals (think cream, caramel, navy, gray and so on...).  

Now, this bag is Tory Burch's latest addition to the shoulder bag collection.  It is everyyyyything.  I mean the color is beautiful, the gold hardware is its perfect complement and the size is exactly what I want for fun on the weekend.  Yes, you guessed it, I'm obsessed.

Last, but surely not least, I always like to punch up my look with a great piece of statement jewelry.  These two rings (here and here) are a bit of an investment but if you love them and you adore gold like I do then they are certainly well worth it.  They are something you will wear all the time and definitely get your money's worth out of them.  Yes, you guessed correctly again, I do love them.

And that's it.  It's really as simple as that.  Acquire a few classic pieces you love and that you know look amazing on you and you can style any fabulous look from there.  Hope you love them as much as I do.  Wishing you all a wonderful weekend doing the things you adore!

Happy Monday girls!  Anyone in need of some new neutrals to take to the beach right now?  Nudes, blushes and whites are always in my rotation and they make for the perfect palette all summer as they flatter every skin tone and can be found in gorgeous options from head to toe.  Today's picks focus exclusively upon beach day essentials that will have you showing off that sun-kissed golden tan.  This blushing beauty is so sweet looking and reminds of more innocent eras gone by.  Pair it with a pretty head band, high pony and this adorable straw tote and you will have those heads turning.  I think this ivory bandeau option would be so chic along with this hat, these sunnies and a stunning peach sarong.  I'm also wanting to toss on these comfy and super affordable slides with any of the options mentioned above.  Don't forget a dab of this incredible lip balm whenever you turn your face towards the sun.  It is the one thing I reach for daily to keep my lips pillowy soft and is worth every penny.  Isn't summer so amazing?  What are all of your favorite wear-to-the beach must-haves?

Hope everyone is having a great start to their week.  Enjoy your beach day if you are having one!

For as long as I can remember, I've had an ongoing love affair with neutrals.  From gorgeous makeup palettes and buttery handbags to cozy throws and everything about home decor, neutrals will never let you down.    Fall fashion is no exception and these pieces here are some of the subtle reasons why.  An oatmeal sweater like this one will go for miles in your closet.  I love pairing mine with everything from distressed denim to on-trend coats and toppers.  This plaid blazer plays so gorgeously with it.  I also love to work pretty neutral accessories into the look with great hats, watches and belts that add just the right amount of interest.  This newsboy cap is a current favorite of mine and this belt is high on my want list, haha.  Dark sunnies and chic black ankles boots (I need a new pair and have been eyeing these) round out the look.  A swipe of your favorite pinky nude lip color (this one is my go-to) and you're out the door.  

Honestly, with morning minutes at a premium, I can't think of an easier way to get yourself out the door while looking and feeling your best.  Anyone have any other easy to wear looks they love?  Please share, haha!  I hope everyone is having a great week so far.  I'll see you all with something you're going to love on Friday!

Hello everyone!  How's everybody's week going?  I'm feeling extra happy this week and really for no reason at all, haha.  Sometimes that's the best kinda happy there is.  So, here we are at mid-week and for me that's the best time to take a moment and get all those errands we all face finished.  If that's your plan then you're likely going to want to dress the part with some relaxed but still cute looks.  Today's pieces get that done.  From graphic tees to versatile slip-ons these are the pieces I reach for when running around town.  This sweatshirt is one of my newest faves.  Did the blush and gold give that away? Haha.  It's perfect paired with denim shorts, a baseball cap and a classic tote.  A quick little swipe of luminous color is all I like to wear on these off-duty days and this compact gives me such an ethereal glow.  And that's it, your easy on the run look, done.

What are you guys up to this week?  Goal setting and getting, having fun along the way?  Ahh, life is sweet!  Hope you're all enjoying it...Have fun!

Rebecca Taylor top :: Steve Madden bootie :: David Yurman ring :: Clare Vivier clutch :: J.Crew denim :: Ray Ban aviators :: Kate Spade Supercalifragilipstick

Hello everyone!  Thanks for stopping over for today's peek at chic.  One of my favorite things about summer {and yes, there are many!} is the endless amount of options it provides for getting dressed.  Currently I'm loving a white on white combo.  Timeless, elegant and always so chic, this monochromatic look is anything but boring.  What's nice to me is that this pairing can be worn everywhere from the beach to boardroom and always be done in style.  These looks I'm sharing today are some of my favorite ways to wear white.  Well-choosen accessories can add a new layer of personality to the feel and take you wherever you need to go in it.  Personally, I feel there's nothing like the addition of cognac leather to lend a bit of contrast appeal.  When wanting to either keep it more beach friendly or go more elegant, white sandals or heels can do just that.  These classic summer favorites are always at the ready in my closet.  I love to pull the look altogether with a striking swipe of red lipstick and the perfect grab and go clutch (this one is amazing!).  You can shop more easy ways to get white right in the links above and thumbnails below.  

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

If there's one thing I never leave the house without it would have to be my sunnies.  What started as a fun fashion accessory is now a daily must.  Much like a favorite handbag or perfect pair of heels these pretty little gems come in endless shapes, sizes and colors.  It won't take much to find your perfect shade of chic.  These shapes and styles are some of those I'm currently craving.  Clearly, Kate Spade seems have caught my eye several times but I have to confess that this pair from Prada is my absolute love.

So now that the spring sunshine has really started to shine, which set of sunnies will you be reaching for?  Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and thanks for reading!

With so many new and beautiful items out for the season it'd be somewhat of an understatement to say I have my eye on a few items.  One of them that I find myself completely craving is The Midi Skirt.  The fresh new hemline and feminine silhouette are so right now and ready to go.  What's even better is that there are so many ways to wear them.  Today I want to share two ways I love to wear the trend.

If you're ready to wear it now, try pairing it with a bold moto jacket, printed statement scarf, sleek ankle booties and a great pair of sunnies.  Completely fresh and of the moment.  Once warm days find their way into town, you can take it in another direction by pairing it with a fun blouse, sleek shades and kickin' pair of heels in your favorite color.  Voila!  Instant springtime chic.
