#ONREPEAT: Three Pieces for Winter

January 22, 2018 8 Comments

At the end of October I picked up a couple of items for the upcoming colder weather that I fell in love with- I have worn them so much that they are all #ONREPEAT. Three pieces for winter that I can not stop wearing!

Jennifer Lopez Ribbed Dolman Sweater, org $54

The ruby color of this sweater is what attracted me to it. Admittedly I did not think I would like the cut of this sweater on me but order anyway because of the color. I was so happy when I put it on and saw how it fit. It’s lose but not too baggy or big and snugs in the right spots. The wider neck gives a slight off-the-shoulder feel. In red only size large is left but the orchid haze comes is available in most sizes and is a really pretty color for muted pastel for winter.

LC Lauren Conrad Chives OTK Boots, org $89.99

Already owning a gorgeous merlot hue of OTK boots and a pair of black stiletto ones from Vicki’s circa 2007- I wanted to pick up a pair of OTK boots to wear more on the regular. I wanted them to have a flat/to little heel and I did not want them to lace/tie/drawstring at the back. This style by Lauren Conrad that I found at Kohl’s fit the bill. When I bought them I had a $10 off $50 women’s clothings/shoes, plus a merchandise gift card and a 30% off coupon so I got them for $25! I am wearing these boots in my last post and I can not believe they are all sold out since last week! Target has some great affordable options under $45 like these and these.

Xhilaration-Women’s Longline Lace Bralette, org $12.99

I really wanted to give this bralette trend a try out since the spring but was hesitant on how one would fit. On a whim I picked up a lace one because the strappy back was just too cute. After one wear I was hooked. I love wearing this bralette around the house (like when I’m lounging in my pajamas for way too much of the day) or over a bulky sweater. Love it so much that I bout it in pink too!

Jeans: 7 for All Mankind; Off5th
Bralette: Xhilaration for Target
OTK Boots: LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s; similar on clearance at Target here and here

Stylish Comfy Holiday Travel Look

November 17, 2017 8 Comments

With extended family dispersed around the Midwest, my household usually travels for Thanksgiving. Fortunately for us it is usually only a three to four hour car ride. Nevertheless, I still want to wear a super comfy outfit for our little road trip. With all the cute sweaters in the stores right now it is easy to create a stylish comfy holiday travel look! The sweater I am wearing to create this look is from a previous Victoria’s Secret collection. It is a multi-way sweater that can be worn as a cowl neck, off the shoulder, or one shoulder like I […]

Ruffle Bomber Jacket

November 13, 2017 8 Comments

It’s safe to say that my obsession for outerwear is always present (but it kicks into high gear when the weather turns cool!). So when I saw this ruffle bomber jacket at Kohl’s over the summer, I knew it would be a great addition to my jacket collection. Little did I know that ruffle bomber jackets would be so popular for fall this year! Have you seen this one at Target? I was there the other day, and loved the feel of the material! (and under $30!) I’m pretty sure I am channeling the 80’s or 90’s in this outfit because something […]

A current trend that I am loving this fall are the bell sleeves! They can add so much sass to the most basic top.

Such an easy outfit that is effortless stylish! My bell sleeve top is from the A New Day line exclusively found at Target. Have you checked out the new clothing line? This is my first piece!

Wife. Mom. Boss. A new perspective on conquering it all

October 6, 2017 8 Comments

Wife. Mom. Boss. A new favorite shirt for a Sunday Funday with the fam in my home city. Enjoyed our little afternoon watching trains, sipping cava and eating tacos in the Cleveland Flats. I like to think part of it is due to my new perspective on conquering it all. Continue reading to learn more! Adam travels quite a bit for work but he was fortunate enough to slow (okay pretty much halt) work travel for most of this year since Lil Miss was born. Last month that travel lull came to an end and I had my first rodeo […]

Transition Florals with Fall Accessories

October 2, 2017 13 Comments

I was not sure I would get to wear this dress again this fall but babes- it is still reaching in the 80’s here (and all week too!) I really can not believe this weather we are having! By adding rich textures and fall staples I can take a spring floral dress into fall. Which is clutch in this weather! I purchased this dress on clearance at Kohl’s online over the summer for $10 to put back for fall. I thought even though it is a spring floral dress that the sleeves and rich hues it could still be pulled […]

Sweatshirt Dress is a MUST for Fall

September 18, 2017 9 Comments

Hey babes! Sorry for the MIA the rest of last week. We had some yard work done and they happen to cut our internet cable too. Technicians came over the weekend to repair our wires. We are a streaming household (we cut cable over 4 years ago!) so a few days without internet is both challenging and refreshing! One of the fall trends for 2017 that I am loving is the sweatshirt dress! Comfy, cute and easy to dress up or down. They are a must have for early fall weather! Although not this past weekend or upcoming week here. […]

Sunflowers and Gingham

Pairing a perfect early fall activity with an end of summer classic style! Keep reading to find out more! There is this amazing sunflower field in Yellow Springs, Ohio. My husband and I have lived in Dayton for almost 8 years and admittedly this was our first time visiting. The field is gorgeous! However I had no idea what to expect visiting a sunflower field. There are tons of bees! Thankfully the little terrors are drunk on pollen and could care less about us moving through the field. I did not expect the flowers to be so tall or itchy […]
