faux fur

Cozy Winter Style

This post is sponsored by 6pm. This winter has been a bit… well more wintery than normal. If you live in Minnesota or nearby, you know what I mean. Between the snow/ice and the negative temperatures, it seems like there is something new we have to deal with every day. Not that we haven’t in the past, just not all at the same time or so much in a row. I can’t complain too much considering we got a nice break this weekend – up to 40 degrees almost EVERY SINGLE DAY! And all of those days were glorious. Regardless,...

February 2014 Budget

Fashion•Shopping

Not much to report this month! I lost my two faux fur scarves during our move, so I wanted a new one and decided to go for a faux fur snood. I also recently discovered Modern Citizen and have fallen in love with every collection! They have a lot of modern, professional looking pieces that I would love to add to my closet. I have been looking for a quilted faux leather skirt and really loved the side details on this one. I hope to be sharing it on the blog soon! Snood – Asos, on sale $17.88 (whoot...

Keeping Warm

Shopping

Yesterday I got to drink hot chocolate, which means it is finally getting colder. WHICH means I get to start wearing jackets and scarves and layers! But seriously though, I am crazy excited about wearing coats again. I will be regretting saying this in about two months… Here are some of my current favorites right now to help keep warm (if only I had the budget):

It’s the Weekend

Fashion

I wanted to start doing a weekend post just to wrap up the week and share some of the things I’ve been loving but haven’t shared elsewhere during the week, or at least expand on them more, and as a way to share some of the other things I love aside from clothes and shoes (even though today that is pretty much the focus). Probably will vary from week to week, but I promise I will try to make it fun! ...

You don’t have to spend a lot on your clothes. I LOVE thrifting and finding great vintage finds for two reasons. 1) You can easily find unique pieces that everyone and their mother won’t have 2) Quality items at a LOW price

A Month of Outfits: December

Looks like I forgot to do an outfit recap for November, so I didn’t want to get to much further in the New Year without a recap of December’s outfits!

Sex & the City is just one of those shows that I could leave on repeat and never get sick of. Lately I have been watching Season 6 over and over again since it is available OnDemand. I really should just get the whole season in the big beautiful book! (Note to self: add to Christmas wishlist). If you are a Sex & the City fan, you probably have picked out a favorite character and I can’t help but love Carrie, for many reasons, but mostly for her passion for writing (I am a writer as well, although very...

Thanksgiving Outfit

Fashion•Outfits

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! This is what I wore for our feast yesterday and then I changed into something warmer for Black Friday shopping (since the temperature dropped from 65 to somewhere in the 30s…yuck). Have a wonderful weekend and safe travels if you are headed home this weekend!

Remembering

Outfits

This dress was my grandmother’s and although it has been hard to move on from her recent passing, I am thankful for the time I got to spend with her. Wearing her dress helps me feel like a part of her is still around, and nothing makes me feel more proud than to wear this and represent her. As Thanksgiving approaches this week, thinking of her reminds me of how grateful I am for my family and all they do for me. Family means everything.
