CURRENT BASICS I’M LOVING

jacket (old) similar here| tee| jeans| mules| bag| sunnies Everyone has their go-to basics they tend to grab when they don’t know what to wear. It’s basically your uniform, that never fails. Mine always involves some sort of graphic tee, usually a band tee. I have so many of them, but they are such good basics to build a casual outfit from. When I don’t know what to wear, I tend to fall back on outfits similar to this one. ...

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MADEWELL

jeans| bodysuit| jacket| mules| earrings We all know there’s an endless amount of denim brands out there. It’s seriously a never-ending list. I will also admit that I have my fair share of jeans. It’s a closet staple, but there are SO MANY different washes and styles. And don’t get me started on the sizing. This is where I wish sizing was universal. My size varies depending on the brand and this drives me bananas! Not ...

SUEDE + STATEMENT EARRINGS

jacket| top| jeans| booties| earrings| handbag When in doubt with a basic/simple outfit, wear the most extra looking statement earrings possible! I promise you, it will make you look put together. I’m a big fan of dainty jewelry, but every once and awhile, I pull out the statement earrings. These baublebar ones are pretty heavy, so I recommend these lobe savers. They are worth every penny. The first time I wore these earrings, I ...

“MAMAN” UNIFORM

jacket| sweatshirt similar one here and similar tee here| leggings| shoes| sunglasses Is it wrong to wear these faux leather leggings at least twice a week? I think not!! I find myself grabbing these a lot lately. They are flattering and offer lots of comfort while still looking stylish. I also have the grey moto version of these leggings and love them just as much. For size reference, I am wearing a size medium. I’ve been wearing them ...

LEOPARD PRINT

sweatshirt| jeans| sunglasses| sandals Leopard print is going to be big this fall! I personally have always loved leopard print. It’s the best neutral print and mixes well when paired with other prints, such as stripes. I found this comfy Adidas sweatshirt from Nordstrom a few weeks ago. I love the mix of two different leopard prints. It’s the perfect sweatshirt to throw on over leggings, but looks just as good with a pair of ...

CHOOSING AND STYLING A ROCKER TEE

tee| jeans| booties| bag| sunnies Since I love wearing rocker tees and have made them a key component to my style, I thought I would explain my process to choosing and styling one. Let’s begin with how I pick a rocker tee. First thing I look for is a band I’m familiar with. I choose bands based on ones I actually listen to.  I want to make sure I can name songs they sing and not mindlessly choose a rocker tee just because ...

THE GRATEFUL DEAD

tee| jeans| booties| clutch| hoops There is nothing more I love styling than a rocker tee. I have tons of them and wear them all as often as I can. It’s my go to item in my closet when I don’t know what to wear. My favorite thing about any sort of graphic tee, is how versatile they are. Not only do they look great with a pair of joggers, but they can be dressed up with some heels and statement jewelry. And did I mention how comfy ...

PINK FOR FALL

sweater| tee| jeans| shoes| similar bag Love this shade of pink for fall! It’s a pretty muted rose, but goes with so many colors. I scooped up this Madewell cardigan during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, but it’s back on sale! Extremely soft and cozy, perfect for fall. I also linked some similar Madewell cardigans below. Madewell is quickly becoming a favorite brand of mine. I love their jeans, sweaters, and handbags. My mules ...

SWEETHEART BODYSUIT

bodysuit| jeans| sandals| sunglasses Found this perfect little off the shoulder bodysuit on asos recently and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with this find. I also ordered it in the white color too. It fits great, the shoulders have little grips so the sleeves don’t slide down. In my opinion it fits true to size. I’m wearing a size 4. Asos also has a fit calculator if you aren’t sure what size you are. You can put ...

BEST THERMAL EVER

thermal| jeans| boots (on sale!)| bag Seriously, this thermal is hands down the best ever!! I could easily live in this thing, it’s that comfy. It’s an oversized fit so if you want a loser fit then size down.  I’m wearing a size small and may even size down when I purchase another color. This thermal is long in the back, perfect top to wear with leggings. I like to do a half tuck and tuck the front in so I’m not ...
