All In: Holiday Party

Happy first Monday in December! Yes, December. Let's go all in under $100 for a holiday party.


I have to tell you, I'm kind of obsessed with this outfit. If there is a time to try some fabulous and risky, it's the holidays. That is why I paired this full skirt with a structured crop top. Throw in a little bling, and you're all in for under $100.

Bucket List

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I've started to get my September fashion mags and I thought we would start off the week with a trend I'm seeing everywhere: the bucket bag. Now you may be thinking, beach bag or Limited Too but stay with me, these are the adult bucket bags with beautiful fabrics and colors.

This is a versatile and casual bag that is great for farmers market mornings and brunch with friends.

Oh hi there perfect transition color for summer to fall.

This bag was originally $232. It is now 70% off. Just go.

Mango, Pebbled Bucket Bag, $39
This is a great bag to grab and go. Phone, wallet, keys, lipstick. It hits on two trends, the bucket bag and the mini bag (which we'll cover later this week). A two for one under $40.

Bucket bags are far from what your remember as a kid. Think leather, embroidery, saturated colors and more. These are great solder bags or double the strap and carry them.

Be fabulous today!

I'll Have the Scallops

Last week we looked at some great bling as one way to add interest to your outfit. Another way to dress up the wardrobe is to look for pieces that have a little extra detail. I'm talking about a sweater with embroidery, or a skirt with a nubby tweed. Something that makes the piece stand out from all the others. Something that makes it special. Today, I want to focus on scallops. Simple, quiet, and yet great impact.

A bright pop of yellow is perfect for now with plum tights and for later with a sleeveless white lacy blouse.

Kind of obsessed with this sweater. Like I almost bought it while writing this post. I love the touch of wool that makes it extra cozy, the variation on the stripe with these scalloped edges, and this cool mint color that is perfect with everything.

Free People, Scalloped Lace Skort, $78
Talk about details. The lace pattern here is feminine and delicate mixed with this deep emerald. I would wear this now with black tights and booties and later when my legs aren't so translucent. 

Bloomingdale's, Kate Spade Scallop Front Tights, $22
A great variation on your standard black tight without being super crazy patterned. These also come in beige.

So you see its not always about the bling or the shoes or the lipstick, sometimes that sweater/skirt/skort does that work for you. Embrace the scallop.
