Beanie Season

BEANIE | CARDIGAN | TEE | JEANS | SNEAKERS

First let me apologize for being MIA on here for some time. As I’ve mentioned before, life can definitely get in the way, and family always comes first. We had a rocky end of 2019 due to a medical emergency / accident for Evan. Things are fine, he is fine, but it was all-consuming and needed my full attention. I was still trying to be present on Instagram, but I came up short when it came to blogging. Then with Christmas, and the holidays with family, it was just a lot. Needless to say, I’m sure glad 2020 is here, and my sweet family is looking forward to another fresh start.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed that I’ve been living in a beanie. During these hectic last few weeks, a beanie makes sense. So I’ve nicknamed this season of life “beanie season”. If beanies aren’t your thing, don’t worry. I will switch up the look soon, when I find time to actually fix my hair. For now beanies all day every day, because simply, it’s easy.

I’m a big fan of beanies with a cute pom pom on top. But there are so many styles out there, if you don’t dig that style. I like to find most of my beanie hats at Target and Urban Outfitters. Some of my favorites are linked below.

SCROLL TO SHOP!

So here’s to a brand new season of life in 2020, and to beanie season! Beanie season, you’ve saved me an extra 15 minutes every day for the last few weeks, and that’s a big plus in my book!

‘Tis The Season for Onecklace

I’m teaming up with oNecklace again this holiday season, because I firmly believe their collection makes for the best gifts this time of year. Even into the New Year, oNecklace has the best pieces for every gal on your list. 
For myself this holiday season, I got a nameplate bracelet and a beautiful bar necklace.

This necklace is absolutely perfect, with McLean’s birth date in roman numerals. In fact I’ve not taken it off since I received it. I also can’t get enough of my brand new bracelet. that of course has McLean’s name on it. It’s so light, dainty, and easy to wear to work. Let me reiterate,  this new bracelet is so lightweight, it allows me to move about my day, and forget I even have it on. Coming from a typical, non-bracelet wearing person, that’s saying something. I absolutely love this bracelet. 


oNecklace offers a variety of pieces that make a statement, and also mean something to someone special. Every piece I’ve gotten from oNecklace has significant meaning in my life, therefore I adore them that much more. Give a meaningful gift this Christmas with oNecklace. I know your favorite girl(s) will love oNecklace as much as I do.

Casual Winter Outfit

JACKET | TEE | MOM JEANS | BOOTS | NECKLACE

Far too often I take the easy road when getting dressed in the morning. It’s less work to walk in my closet blindly, pick one top, style it simply, and look basic all day long. In the New Year I’m making it a goal to be more planned out when it comes to what I put on each day. I hereby declare 2020 to be the year of a more organized approach to getting dressed.

Even if it’s a casual winter outfit like this one, I at least feel like I’ve put effort into my style. This look is perfect for a day at the office, and / or grabbing cocktails with a few girlfriends. That rarely happens with a 4 month old, so I’m more likely to to wear this outfit to work.

All that said, outfit planning for me is about a few key pieces and their versatility. Every piece I’m wearing in this casual winter outfit is a key piece in my wardrobe, and is super versatile. Not to mention every piece I’m wearing is affordable.

So here’s to looking ahead to a new year, a new approach, and a new style!

My Best Winter Vest

VEST | LEGGINGS | BOOTS

Sharing MY BEST WINTER VEST with y’all today, because how stinking cute is this piece? Can’t believe I got it for $30, and I’ve already worn it twice. Needless to say, this style will be on repeat all season long, as it legit is the best vest I own.

I love how versatile vests like this one are, you can literally layer it over anything. Imagine pairing it with a simple black dress, tights, and boots. Or you can throw on a white blouse, jeans, and loafers for another casual option.

This outfit is comfy cozy, and perfect for a day at the office (for me). I can easily transition this outfit for a night of drinks and appetizers downtown, or wear it straight home, for mom duty and be just as comfortable. Either way, it’s the best winter vest.
