Katie Wears: Lavender & Burgundy

 

 
I warned you I was obsessed with Lavender (check out my how to pair it and other great lavender pieces here).  And today I am sharing another way you can style the trending color.  I wore it with hunter green and mint here, and I love how my friend, Katie, stayed within the same color family for her look.  Her purple sweater is super soft, and love how she layered it.

When the Halogen x Atlantic Pacific line went live, Katie and I were chatting about what we were eying and getting. I had the green combo version of her lavender combo faux fur stole on my list and in my cart. I ended up not getting it because I had to make choices from my massive list, but seeing how she wears it - I'm totally regretting it.  What a fun piece!

Favorite Wears: Styling Lavender

 

 
I shared how to wear and pair the trending color, lavender, here, and now I'm styling it! I've been loving this lavender sweater (currently 33% off!) ever since I got it - pairing it with jeans, leggings and even dressing it up with this hunter & mint skirt.  I love this color so much because it pairs so well with other colors, but also stands on its own.  I don't see any signs of it's popularity stopping!  It's a great color to wear now, but also in the coming warmer (thought that seems far away) months.

Trend to Try: Lavender

Pics from here.

 

Lavender-everything started emerging early 2018, but this fall, lavender has been all the rage with no signs of slowing down. It couldn't be a prettier, more versatile color trend for all seasons - great for winter and spring alike - and all reasons to get dress.  

I love this color trend for workwear, dressed up and casual outfits. It even quickly acts as a neutral when paired with bolder colors.  With so many options, and so many sales - it's a great time to try out this color in your own wardrobe! 

I'm sharing how you can match this color up + my top lavender outfit pics below! 


With so many sales, it's a great time to pick up a lavender (or lilac) piece.  I've rounded up some of my favorite items that could easily be matched back to other colors (see the color combos above for ideas) to create on-trend, fun and versatile outfits.



Are you trying the lavender trend? 
I'll be sharing how I styled it next!

Matching Family Jammies!


 

It's that time of year, time to match your family on the holidays. I don't know what it is about matching jammies, but I feel like they really bring us all together and the kids love it. My husband begrudgingly appeases me, but pretty sure the rest of us had fun breaking out the Christmas jammies on Thanksgiving day today. We pretty much wore these jammies all day, except for one venture out.  It's a fun excuse to stay in your PJs all day!

I linked my favorite items, including matching jammies, to help make the holiday season just a bit more special on my Amazon Page. You can follow me there for ongoing updates to my favorite Amazon products/gift ideas/wish lists/etc.



Tell me: do you force encourage your family to wear matching jammies during the holidays, or maybe just the kids?

Favorite Deals Happening Now!

 

 
Black Friday has turned into Cyber weekend, and now has started even earlier, making it one of the best deal-driven weeks to shop either online or in-store (pick your poison).  It also can be overwhelming - and wasteful. I find myself wanting to get things just because they're on sale... and that's not a good reason. So, I try to put together my specific wish list (things I need/have already had my eye on) + use this time to shop for others.

Here are some of my FAVORITE deals from the sea of them happening right now:

One-stop shop for all your beauty and skin care needs! I've shopped here for years!




My other to-to for gifts and deals this time of year is Amazon. Duh! I'm working on a separate gift guide for what I get for who from that behemoth - but in the meantime, you can check out my new Amazon page for separate gift guides and shopping lists, to be updated often!

Happy Thanksgiving - and shopping!

Favorite Wears: The Turtleneck is Back


 

I feel like turtlenecks are making a comeback. While they haven't been totally gone... I've been more weary to wear them over the last few years - but am fully embracing it this year. They're practical from the cold, yes, but add a chic and classic layer to an outfit. Classic black is good - at staple you totally need, but I am loving a pop of color for this look. Bold colors plus turtleneck seems a like a more modern take on the style.

P.S. This favorite white bag of mine (shown) is on sale!
