Things I like: obviously, the Rebecca Minkoff Medium M.A.B.. J.Crew blazers, and Nikes with a sweet vintage vibe. 

Why all together? Because I think it's fun to mess around with contrast - the blazer paired with ripped ankle jeans, Nike kicks with a structured purse... just trying to keep things interesting! 

Classic heather grey and blue mix together in a new way here - shifting from their typical preppy connotation to a look that has the same classic lines, but with an urban twist.

Merry Christmas!

I've been conspicuously absent from the blogging world lately - well, really for the past several months - and I couldn't be more pumped to get back in the swing of things. I had an absolutely amazing time abroad and am doing my best to get things back under control (like my weight, ha) and do what I can to take charge of my schedule and goals for the upcoming year. More about that to follow! Until then (I know you're waiting with bated breath), you can get ready to see what you may have come to expect this summer - regular posts MWF and some sweet little collaborations with small yet inspiring businesses and creators.
Back to basics, and absolutely thrilled about it!

I put together a festive little outfit this weekend - my hunter green silk printed top paired with this cute gold sequin skirt make for a polished, yet unexpected combination. Add black suede pumps, a dark lip (I'm loving H&M's lip shades - totally went wild over them in Europe!), and your go-to leather jacket for a put-together and just slightly edgy look that's perfect (and appropriate) for just about any holiday gathering. Black booties and tights would change things up a bit, or you could take a leap and throw on a furry vest to play with textures a little more. 

Want to shop my look? Well, a whole lot of this outfit is resale - this cute skirt is LL Bean via Clothes Mentor ($14!), the top is from a little tiny resale shop in Portland that is now closed - and the rest of it is a little older. Either way, I've linked very similar (and affordable) pieces below!

Sometimes I think that I might like to celebrate Christmas the week after real Christmas, because then I could actually afford nice gifts for everyone. The best sales are post-Christmas, right? Not always the most convenient for those of us who tend to empty our bank accounts for the big day, but regardless, I threw together a list of what you ought to look for at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.

Purses 
I have the Rebecca Minkoff Medium M.A.B. in two colors and love it. Get it here for under $150!


Beauty & Accessories
I swear by the Lancome mascara (super waterproof!) and gloss linked below!

Shoes
Slip-on sneakers like these or these are huge this winter. Same with high-top kicks like these Nikes - super comfy with a cool-girl vibe.
