Holiday Party Style for Under $200

The holidays make me want to shop. Not just for gifts, but for cute outfits to wear to all of the season’s parties and events. I’ve started a holiday shop on my ShopMy, but today I wanted to focus on the more affordable side of things. Everything featured here is under $200. This Boden feather set takes the cake. I wore the pants to my niece’s VIP day at school (with a suede jacket) but when paired with the matching top and a heel? Super festive! Anthropologie is another good spot to check out. I gasped when I saw this dress; wow! And of course, these taffeta pants which have been at the top of my best-sellers list every week. Also from Anthro: these amazing fringe pants–aren’t they fun?

The Wednesday Ten, No. 29

Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.

Styling Last Week’s Best-Sellers, Vol. 28

Every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we added a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how I would style them. I hope this provides some fun inspiration. Today, we are styling my very beloved Alex Mill jeans (the fit is truly perfect), this fitted Madewell sweater, and these luxe and splurgy but ultra-comfy cashmere pants.

Carly’s Cut, Vol. 15

I truly come to life in October. I don’t know if it’s my Scorpio showing or if I have a bit of nostalgia for fall back in Connecticut, but there’s no other time of year I love more. The temperatures begin to drop, the days become shorter, and things start to slow down. October (sigh, I’m a broken record) was full of weeks that felt like one big go-go-go. I’m ready to spend the last two months of the year hibernating, cooking my way through a list of soup recipes, and watching every holiday movie imaginable.
