I have a four-day trip planned later this week I will be flying for two days and working for two days. I created this 'What to Pack for a Four Day Trip' piece to help me pick out what to wear as well as help you too. I plan to keep everything condensed to a carry on bag. I will have my work bag and a cross-body purse as well. That's it. Two pairs of shoes and I'm done. And yes, this does include activewear to actually be active in. First, I love this Calpak bag. It's been one of the best items I have ever bought from Shopbop. It becomes the bag everyone wants to use when they have a quick trip too. Do you want compliments from flight attendants? Then you need to get this bag! I'll be using these bags as well. I like to keep things contained and well-organized. I will … [Read more...]

Faux Fur Favorites
I can't explain and really what need to I have to do so? I absolutely adore faux fur. Coats, gloves trimmed in faux fur, hats, scarves, all of it. I can't get enough. I'm so glad that this season is indulging me so much too. Last week I pulled out my faux fur scarf and snood. I draped myself in the leopard coat I bought from Shopbop on sale back in July. My children were and are still mortified. Buy some coats from the affiliate links to pay for their therapy later, would you? Then my husband surprised me with this black beauty. As he came in from a hug and a kiss after a long day he draped it over my shoulders and I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. I wore it for a solid hour in my house. I might get one just to use as a bathrobe. I love it that much. My children don't … [Read more...]
Jane for the Holidays
I have a secret. I buy A LOT of things from Jane.com. Especially when it comes to the holidays and seasonal items for the home. However, I also buy some really cute clothes and accessories from there. Every time I wear an item from there someone asks about it too. Full of different vendors and always new items I am a huge fan of this fun site. (not sponsored) Favorites Right Now (get them while they last!) I pulled the trigger and bought this coat. My kids are MORTIFIED. I don't care. It's warm. I love it and it makes me happy every time I wear it. I bought a pair of these in leggings in black last year. I wore them on New Year's Eve. It was a pajama/cozy themed party and these were a hit. They are leggings after all. :) These velvet gloves dress up my peacoat … [Read more...]
Always Mad for Plaid
Maybe it is because I was an 80s child and a teen in the 90s but I have always been mad for plaid. The traditional pleated skirts I wore as a private school kid in the 1980s. The fabulous 70s a-line skirts my mother wore when I was little with heeled boots. Then the plaid flannel shirts, more pleated skirts and oh those plaid stockings and leggings I could NOT stop wearing in high school. I love plaid. Always and forever. Amen. The holiday season is officially here. So long Halloween, make way for the burnt oranges, browns and golden yellow plaids that deepen our love for fall. Then turn your eyes on the darker black plaids, brilliant reds and gorgeous green plaids that fill the holiday season in the month of December. My Favorite Finds: Madewell Harvest Sweater I love this … [Read more...]
