Travel Style

Fashion•Outfits•Travel

Jacket // Shirt // Sunglasses // Sneakers // Bag I always try my best to be comfy and stylish when traveling. So for my upcoming trip to Miami, I wanted to put together a simple, easy outfit that can keep me warm while still being in Minnesota, but easily transfer to Florida temperatures. A few of my favorite pieces for traveling are an oversized cardigan/sweater, stretchy jeans (or better known as jeggings), a t-shirt and sneakers. I also want a functional, yet stylish bag to have along as a carry on. This tote from Fjallraven Canada is the perfect size and a...

Weekend Chic Style: Steals Under $25

Fashion•Shopping

{Dress} {Sunglasses and Similar} {Necklace} {Bag} {Flats}   How is it possibly August already?! I feel like it was just the 4th of July yesterday! Normally I would be excited (because the closer I get to fall the happier I am), but last year the Minneapolis area didn’t really get a fall and our winter was dreadful. I feel like I haven’t recovered from last year’s winter! Anyway, enough weather talk (hello boring blogger here)! I’ve been finding some amazing, affordable chic pieces recently and wanted to throw together a chic, simple look for a summer weekend. This look would...

Outfit Snapshots

Hey guys! Just wanted to do a quick round up of some recent posts on Instagram… I had a lot of questions about the first outfit, so I figured I would just share other recent photos as well and share similar items!

Spring Into Capes

Outfits

I have always wanted to purchase a cape, so when the opportunity came along to review one from TBDress I was very excited! Unfortunately this one is not very well made, and the black lining looks very cheap up close. The fabric is pretty stretchy though, so at least it is comfy. Sometimes you get lucky with lower-priced items, this time around it did not pay off. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this weather. I could soak it up all day except that I’m in the office from 8-5. I really want to purchase this tote in black and coral...

Stripes & Denim

Outfits

This past weekend was the perfect opportunity to break out my new Zara ankle boots. It was a little bit chilly on Sunday, so I decided it was a good idea to wear these and keep my feet warm.  Anyway, I love this cardigan my little sister got me for Christmas from Christopher &  Banks … YUP you read that correctly… this is from Christopher & Banks! It just goes to show you never know where you are going to find something great! Ankle Boots, Zara (Similar) Denim Dress, Lucky Brand (Similar) Cardigan, Christopher & Banks (Similar) Tote, JustFab —...

Floral Blazer

Fashion•Outfits

This past weekend my older sister, her fiance and my parents were in town to take care of some wedding tasks. The wedding is taking place in downtown Minneapolis in October, so they get to travel here to get everything planned. I LOVE it because that means I don’t have to travel and I still get to see my family more this year. Win, win WIN! Anyway, to run errands such as choosing the groom’s tuxedo, taking a look at the chapel and wedding photo opportunities (and grabbing a mid afternoon beer), I thought it would be a great...

HauteLook

Accessories•Fashion•Interior Design

  So earlier this week, Ashley tweeted about HauteLook, and I completely agreed! They have way too many cute and practical things that could literally spend all of my paychecks in one place. But I can’t help it! I wish it would stop, but between organization tools, home decor and shoes, HauteLook is somewhere I am constantly finding something new (that I pretend I “need”).  Anyway, I am obsessed with basically everything on there. Do you shop at HauteLook? 1. How adorable is this zig zag pillow? I am picturing a couple of these sitting on our porch chairs for...

Insta Weekend

Fashion•Lifestyle•Travel

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful week! And if you are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day a day early like me, then have a great time. Decided to share some Instagram photos from my Vegas trip, showing a few more details of the trip. Have a wonderful weekend! Super comfy travel style: faux leather leggings, striped top, leopard scarf and wedged sneakers. Our first night wearing a jeweled top and not seen: red patterned skinny jeans. Our view of the strip from the Hard Rock! Day 2 outfit: snakeskin scarf, lace peplum, chambray and faux leather leggings. Night...

Weekend Wear

Outfits

When it comes to the weekends you can find me one of two ways: Sweatpants, a beer/glass of wine and cuddled in the corner of our couch, or in casual wear like what I wore to run errands yesterday. Something about the combination of a white blazer and this mint necklace reminded me of spring, which I can feel just around the corner! I can’t complain though… yesterday’s weather brought sun and temps far above what we have experienced over the past week.  I got this new tote with my February budget to bring along on my trip, but I can...
