The Best Accessories for a Holiday Look

Holidays•Outfits

Holiday styles are always more fun with the right accessories, from gorgeous sparkly jewelry, to glittery clutches and a statement pair of heels (for me that’s a pop of color). All of these aspects can really dress up a holiday style, from a simple black dress to a sweater and jeans combination. But let’s not forget one of the most overlooked and important accessories of all – your smile! Ever since high school, I begged “santa” for Crest White Strips so I could brighten up my smile for New Year’s Eve parties. After I received them one year, it became tradition...

New Purchases

Fashion•Shopping

  (sandals, patterned pants, red cropped pants, t-strap mary janes) Well I have been doing some shopping already in March (whoops… can’t say no to some of the great deals), but this month I’m approaching shopping a little differently. I have clothing needs and wants (I REALLY need some new work-appropriate pants. I REALLY wanted a new strappy, fun pair of nude sandals), but I am trying to already plan how to fit these items in with what I already own. I always try to think of this, but it rarely ever happens. Sometimes that means my new items...

Metallic Mondays

Fashion•Outfits

So yesterday was a weird day. I got up a little later than normal after traveling to and from Madison this weekend to visit my sister, and wasn’t exactly looking forward to a day at work, but who is on a Monday? Anyway, I showed up to an almost completely empty parking lot. Uh ohhhh… I immediately thought back to Friday where my company’s power was out for a couple hours due to the storms the night before. Well I guess another round of bad storms hit the Minneapolis area on Friday night and the power had been out...

Nothing Special

Outfits

Yesterday morning was literally one of those mornings where I had 5 minutes to choose an outfit (15 minutes to get ready in total, whoops). The easiest route for me is a dress + blazer/cardigan and just match all my accessories. It seems so boring and blah, but sometimes it just works when you are trying to get ready fast. I chose my sequin black cardigan over my plain one though, just to add a little something more to the ensemble. It is still nothing special, but it happens. On the upside, the SUN WAS SHINING yesterday and got...

It’s the Weekend

Fashion•Shopping

Let’s talk about life lately… it has been a couple weeks since I’ve done a weekend post. Earlier this week I went and got a manicure… I loved my blue nails, but after doing our dishes, my nails started to chip. I got lazy and went to the mall and picked out this gorgeous orange color. Went well with the bracelet I was wearing that day! (my grandma gave me this bracelet, along with a lot of other jewelry. She said she just doesn’t wear it anymore and would rather have someone get use out of it… gosh I...

Simply Spiked

Outfits

Well everyone, it is official. I am obsessed with maxis and longer skirts (you can see my other maxi skirt styles here, here and here just from the past couple months).  There is something so chic and elegant about the longer length that just has me on repeat with this style (and I can’t wait to add boots for fall). Earlier this week, I grabbed a vintage black skirt my grandma gave to me a few months ago and paired with with simple pieces: a tank, short sweater cardigan and beaded necklace. You can find other stylish cardigans like...
