Street Style with a 1990’s Tee

So, I am not a 1990’s baby but my boyfriend is so when I saw this cute little tee and it had that year on it I figured it was the perfect excuse to buy!  There are SO many cheeky t-shirts out there right now and I was dying to have one.  [wearing a small]

I paired mine with denim shorts, a statement belt, and my classic adidas sneakers for a tad of a street style vibe.  I think it would also be great with black skinnies, heels & a suede moto jacket!


Ok–let’s focus in on this cardigan for a hot minute.  I have gotten SO much use out of this since buying.  I wear it at least once or twice a week to work.  I love the longer length to make it a tad different.  [wearing a small]


The weather here has been incredible–not nearly as hot & humid as August typically is (I’m sure I just jinxed us, haha).  We did dinner on the patio last night to take advantage of it [see my outfit here] & tonight we’re headed to a concert that Ethan bought us tickets to!  I hope you all are having a good week!

GUCCI MARMONT BELT UNBOXING & REVIEW

I could not WAIT to get this blog post up for you all! It’s another YouTube video! Eek!

We are putting more energy into our YouTube channel and it’s been really fun.  Ethan has done all the filming and editing and coaching (I need all the help I can get, haha) and couldn’t be happier because I think it’s an exciting way for us to share more content with you all.  I have so many videos I want to film in the future.  If you have any requests please leave me a comment on here or my Instagram  && PLEASE subscribe to the WW channel here.

This video is an unboxing and a review of the latest Gucci item in my collection–the Gucci Marmont Double G Belt.  Give it a watch!  I tried to cover all the questions I had prior to purchasing such as which leather finish to choose, what the price is, how sizing works (this can be tricky) and how the it fastens together.  PLUS… I am giving a tip on how I find designer items in stock to order when they aren’t available online due to popularity!

You can look here & here to see how I have styled mine already.

Enjoy!

Fall Sweaters: Quality over Quantity

Sweater || Shorts || Mules similar here & here || Handbag || Sunglasses || Weekend Rings || Thumb Ring

And just like that, I am ready for Fall–and it’s all because I found a sweater that I am OBSESSED with.  As soon as I saw this Free People number, I added it to my cart and purchased immediately.  It is so luxe.  The perfect amount of slouch, the amazing soft, velvet-y material and the retro color scheme of the stripes… gives me all sorts of heart eyes!  It’s even better in person too. [wearing an xs]

I paired it with my favorite denim shorts and mules here for an evening at our lake house, but I cannot wait to wear it with black jeans and sneakers.  And how cute will it be with a black mini skirt and tall boots?  Dying.

After a recent closet clean out, I took a look at some of the sweaters I kept and am still really excited to wear again this year.  It got me thinking about quality vs quantity.  I want to make sure the sweaters I spend money on this year will be ones that are of substance, ones that I will want to have still around in 2018 and beyond.  This one certainly fits the bill!

Turns out, this is not the only ahh-maze Free People sweater that is out already this year either.  How good are these?!

Ok, now I am ready for weekends with warm lattes and red wine! ha! Who’s with me?

Oh, and ps–totally unrelated but this made me so happy last night so I had to share.  I tried the ClickList service Kroger offers now, the one where you can place and pay for your order online and then select a time to pick it up from the store.  LIFE CHANGER!  I have no idea why I waited this long to give it a try.  (Especially since the grocery puts me in a horrrrible mood.)  It’s going to save me so much time, money and stress!  Comparing prices online is so much easier than dodging people in the aisles trying to see the tags and I think I will make less trips this way too because I will get multiple of things that I normally wouldn’t because I wanted to avoid carrying it.  Seriously, give it a try and let me know what you think.

Cheers to Hump Day, loves!

The Softest Lounge Wear


Pullover || Pants || Shoes|| Rings, similar || Blanket

Let’s get real–I love lounging.  I love lounge wear.  And I really love soft lounge wear.  It was actually chilly last weekend.  The temps dipped down a little and it poured the rain almost all day on Sunday so I took full advantage and wore these new pieces I got in the mail recently.

Here’s the only thing that you need to know… both these pants and this pullover are insanely soft.  Just absolutely cuddly!  I already have these pants in grey so I knew they were winners.  You know how you have that pair of pants you feel like you can’t get on fast enough after you walk through the door and strip off your work pants or jeans?  That’s these.  [wearing a small]

My pullover will also pair great with jeans & sneakers for a cozy weekend look.  I LOVE the extra material around the sleeve.  [wearing an xs]

&& I just couldn’t resist these faux fur sandals any longer.  Slides are all the rage this year and thank gosh because they are so comfortable!  I know the fur is very trendy so I found a pair that kept the cost down but is still good quality.  This pair beats several options that I had seen in store over the past few months.  [size up 1/2 size]

So maybe this post makes me seem lazy–but I don’t even care! Ha!  These pieces are too good not to share!

Zella Leggings – Included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!


Sweatshirt || Tank || Bra || Leggings || Sandals, similar here || Handbag, similar here || Sunglasses || Rings

If I am being 100% honest, my favorite leggings are the wonder under style from lululemon.  I have them in the crop and the 7/8, they’re that good.  HOWEVER, these Zella leggings are definitely my 2nd faves.  They have so many good qualities!

  • super high waisted–very flattering and perfect for crop tops too
  • excellent material–they are thick (so you can’t see through them) but breathable
  • durable–I wash and dry mine a couple of times each week (it’s nice to not have to hang them to dry, I just throw mine in the dryer!)
  • they run tts–I am wearing an xs
  • they’re versatile–I wear mine to actually workout but I also feel like they are a pair that can be worn to run errands or with tall boots and sweaters in the fall/winter

If you live in leggings like I do then give these a try!  They are on sale for only today & tomorrow! fyi, they are long on me so I fold the bottom up.
Ok, time for a little fun in the sun at the lake.  We’re in the car headed that way now–which is why I have to wrap this up before we hit the curvy roads haha! Hope you all are having a great weekend!
