Layers..

J.Crew Factory top(similar & on sale!)|| Nordstroms Rack Vest (old, similar) || Banana Republic Scarf|| Forever 21 pants (old, loving these)|| Steve Madden Booties||  Fossil Watch|| MAC Lipstick

My favorite thing about the colder months is being able to layer! I also love fur vests that always add a hint of surprise to any look. I layered this look with a simple turtle neck, plaid scarf, fur vest, camo pants, and my favorite Steve Madden booties of the moment! I love the small amount of pattern mixing I am able to throw in as well!

Hope you are all having a fabulous week!

Happy Monday! I can't believe how fast Christmas break went for me. School starts back up today! I have loved being able to sleep in and not have anything really to do! No lesson plans, discipline, work meetings, etc. However, I am excited to get back on a schedule and work on this years New Year resolutions!

#1. Cook more! My goal is to make grocery shopping lists, cook almost every night (healthy foods), and save on groceries! It's a work in progress but I am excited to start this resolution!

#2. Get in shape! I haven't seriously exercised in over 6 months! Its bad, I know. I am excited to finally get back into the gym to loose those extra pounds and tone up! This will also work well with my goal to cook more and eat healthy.

#3. My last one for now is to keep a clean house! Its so easy to just leave something sitting in the living room or that extra dish in the sink. I just want my home to feel clean and inviting! (we will also be looking for a house of our own to buy this spring so that is exciting for us!

#4. Save money! We want to buy a home this spring as well as go on some fun vacations this summer. This requires saving some money! We have been pretty good at this but can be a lot better! This means not spending so much on the clothes that I love to buy... but I can manage!

#5. Blog more! I have been pretty busy and get caught up in everything going on that it gets hard to keep up with blogging! This is one that I want to continue to work on!

Today I am wearing one of my favorite gingham shirts from this holiday season. I love adding some color to these sometimes dull winter months! I paired it with my fabulous scarf my husband picked out for me for Christmas! He knows I love leopard print, gold, and cream.. so he thought not purchase something with some of my favorite things! It is perfect to go with any look and I love it!

Have a fabulous Monday!

Nordstroms Half Yearly Sale

Who doesn't love a great sale?! It took me a few days to narrow down my favorite choices from the Nordstroms Half Yearly sale, however I finally did it! I have been drawn to color blocking and the leather trends that are so in right now. There are so many great structured jackets and vests that have caught my eye. I am loving the rich tones of fall and all of these pieces reflect that! If you haven't checked out the sale yet, Trust me it won't disappoint!

Cheetah girl....

Pants: Nordstroms Rack {recent} || Shirt: Nordstroms Rack {recent & only $9!} || Sandals: Sam Edelman via T.J. Max {old, loving these}|| Bracelet: Whimsy || Watch: Fossil {Similar} || Purse: Dooney & Bourke || Sunglasses: H&M

Yes... Ill admit I wore these pants a couple weeks ago in this post here. I cant help it, they are fabulous! I love these pants and could wear them everyday if I wanted to. I choose to pair it with a simple black v-neck and some flat sandals that brings it to a casual level. Perfect to wear to work, date night, or just lounging around! The are so versatile and I have worn them more than once during a two week time span.. guilty.  Animal print {especially Cheetah} is big for fall! I am on the look out for some more items I can add to my closet :)

As soon as I saw this floral popover at J. Crew Factory earlier this week.. I had to have it! I love pop over shirts from J. Crew and pretty much grab one whenever I am able to! My husband was a sweetheart and let me pick something out when we went to the outlets. {I want pretty much everything every time I go in there!} Florals is one of my favorite trends and I always find myself gravitating towards something floral. I also love my Hudson boyfriend jeans. They are so easy to wear with everything!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week :)

I'm soo late with my post today! Life has a way of getting crazy. However, I'm so excited for this weeks trend spin with chambray! This is one of my favorite shirts to wear and its so versatile. You can knot it like I have done here with pants or even with a dress. (Below is my chambray look with one of my favorite maxi dresses) I decided I wanted to pair it with one of my favorite new pairs of pants! I saw a picture on Pinterest of some that looked similar to these and loved them. I found these at Nordstrom Rack (one of the best places ever!). Cant wait to see everyone's link up with chambray!

Thank you to Walking in Memphis in High Heels, The Fashion Canvas, & The Chiffon Diary for featuring my Floral look on their blogs!! I'm honored and love the link up :) Follow their blogs for more looks on chambray!

Blushing...

Dress: Nordstroms (old, would like this), Shoes: Guess (via TJ Max), Watch: Fossil (similar), Necklace: Bridesmaids gift

Happy Friday everyone!! So happy its finally the weekend.  Today's post includes one of my favorite dresses! I've had this pretty number for almost two years now and still its one of my favorites! Its the perfect blush color. My family was going to do family pictures and this was one of the colors. While looking, I saw this dress online at Nordstroms and knew I needed to have it. When going to the store it was no where to be found! I finally asking someone in the store if they had this dress and showed them a picture. To my surprise someone had just returned it in my size!! (yes it was meant to be... ha-ha) I was so happy and still adore it.

Had to include a lovely picture of me and the hubs! :)
