Holiday Casual

We all know that playing hostess is a busy job. You never really get to sit and soak, well maybe for the span of about five minutes until someone  needs a refill, or you have to refill the snack dish. Being comfortable while still looking polished is the key, especially if you are hosting in the comforts of your own home.

The fab five festive ensembles that are both cozy + casual. Perfect for all the holiday gatherings and will leave you with plenty of wiggle room for dessert.

I am putting those black + gold oxfords on my wish list as we speak.

1. bow shirt | 2. pearl cuff | 3. bow earrings | 4. velvet clutch | 5. gold loafers | 6. pom beanie | 7. velvet pants | 8. pop fizz purse | 9. glitter oxfords | 10. rhinestone earrings | 11. deco ring | 12. plaid blouse

Transition to Fall

As we make the transition towards fall, all I can think about is the crisp air, cozy sweaters, and a warm cup of coffee in hand (preferably while perusing a bookstore or antique shop). 

These are the classic essentials that are on my radar for fall: 

a cozy cable knit sweater, a favorite pair of jeans, a chic hat to hide the lazy hair days (we all have them!), a comfortable pair of boots, and a classic black leather strap timepiece and handbag. Can we just talk about this manhattan zip code scarf? And don’t you just love the juxtaposition of these fabulous earrings with said leather baseball cap? Certainly tomboy chic, no?

shop: boots | handbag | sweater | denim | baseball cap | watch | scarf | earrings
