Great style does not have to mean spending tons of money, which is why it’s so important to me to highlight shopping finds in a range of price points. One thing you may not know is that I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! It’s packed with fantastic finds at accessible prices. Right now, a few personal highlights are
Even though I love dressing up and putting on one of my bold outfits, I’m actually pretty introverted. For me, nothing is better than being home. I’ve spent so much time making my Charleston home feel beautiful, and if you ask me, staying home is almost always better than going out. That said, I know being stuck at home (especially when it’s because of the weather or if you are feeling under the weather) can sometimes feel like you’re missing out. There is so much joy to be found at home. Whether I am solo, hanging with my bf, catching up with my family, or hosting a few friends, I have a handful of cozy activities that make staying in feel even better.
Just popping in with a fun little wish list post! The cyber week sales are coming in fast and furious, so I’ll be updating this post first thing every morning. There are so many pretty things on my wish list right now. My friend Alex introduced me to Rat & Boa (specifically their costume jewelry), and this lariat is a dream. It was sold out for ages, but I finally got my hands on one! It’s even prettier in person and so sparkly. Everything SIMONMILLER is doing right now is a dream, specifically this mini dress and this chartreuse sweater. Seemingly overnight, they’ve become a favorite brand.
Plot-heavy books that will keep you up all night. How to gracefully change the subject. Everything coming to Netflix in December. How Colleen Hoover took over Hollywood. The best books about fashion. A guide to the best Christmas TV (shows, movies, specials). A reading challenge that sounds right up my alley. What is fibermaxxing? Who should be the next James Bond? The best Thanksgiving appetizers. Shopping links. And more!
I am a blazer girl through and through. Lately (as with the above outfit) I’ve really enjoyed giving my more summery dresses a fall look (just add suede boots and a great blazer), but they are an everyday staple to pair with jeans, flowy silk pants, everything really. Blazers are an item of clothing where the quality tends to really show, so they are something I feel more comfortable investing in. My top two brands for blazers are Blaze Milano (very expensive, but I’ve had quite a bit of luck on The RealReal and Vestiare Collective) and Veronica Beard (just got this and love it, also, they have great sales)!
