I hope your week is going well! I wore this (or at least a version of this) on Sunday to run errands and style a client for an upcoming wedding. I was hoping to get one more wear out of these boots before it became too warm, but I was melting in them! I had to switch into flats (seen here on Instagram). After all of my complaining about the cold weather, I'm definitely going to embrace the heat wave. Bring it on!

Trench Cape Coat

Cape: Ann Taylor (runs big), similar under $60

Turtleneck: J. Crew (on sale!)

Jeans: 7 For All Mankind, similar

Necklace: Bauble Bar, similar

Earrings: Kendra Scott

Sunglasses: Target

Clutch: Clare V.

Shoes: Saint Laurent, similar, similar

I hope your week is going well! As soon as I saw this Ann Taylor trench cape I knew I had to have it (or at least wait for a sale to pick it up). It is the perfect transitional piece and satisfies my craving for a camel coat which I can't justify this late in the season. Of course I had to add my favorite Clare V. leopard clutch and stripe turtleneck. Something old, something new.

Also, have you checked out the Shopbop buy more, save more sale? Save up to 25% off with code BIGEVENT15 through Sunday. I'm trying to resist this! Let's see if I can stay strong. You can see some of other my favorite items here.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Easy Way to Look Put Together

Current-Elliott-the-fling-boyfriend-jeans

Jacket: Boutique find, similar

Sweater: Club Monaco, similar

Jeans: Current/Elliott

Necklace: Bauble Bar, similar

Earrings: Kendra Scott

Bracelets: Bauble Bar (here, here, here)

Shoes: Christian Louboutin

Bag: Proenza Schouler

I hope you had a good weekend! I love political dramas so I spent most of it watching House of Cards. I only have 2 episodes left and can't wait to see how the season finishes. No spoilers please!

While my style can change depending on my mood, I often find myself coming back to outfits that are easy, yet polished. For me, one of the easiest ways to achieve this look is to wear several pieces in the same color so I don't have to worry about matching several different colors (see here, here, here). A little texture, like the leather patches on the jacket, can prevent monochromatic looks from being boring. All black is always a safe classic choice and I love the edge the boyfriend jeans give the outfit (It's about as edgy as I get, lol).

What are some of your go to tricks for an easy, polished look?

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

All Grey Everything

Sweater: Ann Taylor

Shirt: Ann Taylor

Jeans: c/o Fab'rik East Cobb, similar

Clutch: Clare V.

Earrings: c/o Kendra Scott

Watch: c/o Daniel Wellington

Necklace: Bauble Bar

Bracelets: Bauble Bar (here, here, here, similar)

Boots: Joie

We all know how much I love black and white, but I decided to switch things up a bit and pair grey and white together for a change. Grey has been such a big color for fall/winter, but it will transition perfectly into spring also (especially the lighter shades). I'm looking forward to pairing this grey sweater with pink when it gets warmer.

I want to share two great sales that are going on right now. C. Wonder is now 75% off and take 60% off sale with the code BESTSALE at Piperlime (basically over 80% off on some items!). I'm trying to resist, but I love this jacket, these shoes (!), and all of these jewels. Happy shopping!

Have a great day and thanks for reading!

Leather and Leopard

Jacket: Ann Taylor, sold out, similar, similar

Top: A.L.C, similar

Skirt: Banana Republic, similar cheaper option

Shoes: Kurt Geiger

Clutch: Clare V.

Bracelets: Bauble Bar (here, here, similar), C. Wonder (similar)

Necklace: Bauble Bar

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I'm sorry for the lack of posts last week, but I decided it was best for me to take a break and come back fully refreshed for work and the blog. A week on the beach is exactly what the doctor ordered! Let's just say that the biggest decision every day was what beach to go to. I will hopefully have a vacation recap post up soon, but I'm already trying to figure out how I can get back to St. Martin and Anguilla ASAP!

Now, onto the clothes. Living in Atlanta, I'm pretty lucky that I can wear most of my wardrobe year-round. When the temperatures dipped (or dipped for Atlanta), I immediately reached for my tights and favorite stripe sweater to winterize my favorite leather skirt. You know I'm cold when I have tights on! With the addition of a little leopard, this variation of my fail-proof black and white combo is ready for work (and after work without the jacket).

On a side (random) note, am I the only one who finds heels less comfortable with tights?

There are also some great deals Green Monday (I don't know when this became like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but I will never say no to a deal!)

Nordstrom - 40% off selected items
C. Wonder - 30% off + free shipping
Baublebar - 30% off with INSTAGLAM (ends 12/8)
J. Crew - up to 30% with MERRYMERRY (ends 12/9)
Banana Republic - 40% off with code FESTIVE (ends 12/9)

Have a great day!

Weekend Sale Round-up

Image via source

Happy Friday! I know I'm ready for the weekend. I love to burn the candle at both ends, but I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving. Turkey, a long weekend, Black Friday sales, no alarms.... I can't wait. Is it sad that now it has finally gotten cold here I'm over winter already? Maybe I just need to pick up a few more cozy sweaters from the sales below...

Two of my favorite stores are having their Friends and Family this weekend, Loft and Ann Taylor. I've worn items from both stores so many times on the blog and always love to stock up on great pieces during their sales. I feel like Loft and Ann Taylor are always having some sort of sale, so it never really makes sense to pay full price (not that I ever like to pay full price!). It was a tough job looking though all of the sale items for you guys, but someone has to do it, lol! My favorites are below. I hope you have a great weekend!

Ann Taylor - 40% off with code FRIENDS40

Loft - 40% off with code SHAREIT

Bloomingdales - Friends and Family, 20% off select items with code HOLIDAY. Most picks under $100.

Also, there are a couple of other sales going on. J. Crew Factory has 40-60% off everything (no code necessary), J. Crew has 25% everything with the code SHOPNOW, and Club Monaco has 30% select coats, scarves, and gloves with code KEEPWARM.

I hope you have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

Skirt: BCBG, sold out, similar, similar

Purse: Old Navy

Shoes:Christian Louboutin

Earrings: Baublebar (here, here)

Bracelets: Baublebar (here, here, similar), C. Wonder, similar

I hope you had a great weekend! How nice was that extra hour of sleep? I definitely took full advantage of it and it almost made up for the freezing weather we had. I don't know why, but this outfit feels very Parisian chic to me. It combines some of my favorite pieces (my new Zara jacket, this Old Navy purse, which I now have in 3 colors, and my Ann Taylor leather sleeved top) and I love how easily it transitions from day to night. Now, if only it would stay warm enough for me to wear it a few more times....
