Doesn't Need Maple Syrup

The waffle knit is such a cozy option for sweater weather. The often thick sweater can be layered with a patterned oxford underneath or dressed up with some big neon bling. But alone, it's simple, classic and so easy to wear.

Anthropologie, Waffled Cowlneck, $59 now $29!
I love this cream sweater because you can pair it with those bold patterned skirts and pants or you can throw it on with jeans and walk out the door. It is so versatile.

Don't pass up this kind of deal. $11 for a bright splash of pink in a great, casual hoodie. Mix this with a navy blazer and jeans.

Forever 21, Easy Waffle Knit Sweater, $11 [sold out, but here is a fab coral option!]
Again with the steal price! This navy option is lightweight and ready for a statement necklace.

This green. Oh this green. It's so cool and easy. I also love the ribbed hem, makes it casual.

Waffle knit is an easy throw on sweater that can ooze effortlessness or add on a statement necklace and its a great canvas.

Steady as an Arrow

Something you may or may not know about me is that I am a very proud Pi Phi. Pi Beta Phi has been a large part of my adult life, and something that I truly cherish. One of the symbols or a way to recognize a Pi Phi is her arrow. The arrow is a beautiful way to show perseverance, consistency, and strength. I'm a big fan of this quote as well.

A great way to show off my pride is by showing off the arrow through jewelry, and luckily, you don't have to be a Pi Phi to enjoy the beauty and ferociousness of wearing an arrow, check out these picks.

Planet Blue, Gorjana Arrow Wrap Ring, $40
Simple and delicate, this wrap ring is unassuming but stunning.

I really love this bracelet as a layer piece. Add on a couple of bangles or a heavier metal watch to this light chain bracelet.

Urban Outfitters, Miriam Merenfeld Engraved Forever Arrow Necklace, $59 [sold out! Here is a mini version, or a delicate charm version!]
Originally $140 this made in the USA necklace is great alone or for layering. I would even add a soft string of pears to wear with this necklace.

This is what I would call a grown up best friend bracelet. Buy two, and wear it with one of your best girl. Simple, inexpensive and adorable.

You don't have to be a Pi Phi to wear the arrow and thank goodness for that because the options are fantastic. And to those fellow Pi Phis reading this, ring ching!

Double Time

Happy Tuesday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and for those who had a longer weekend, welcome back! Today we're looking at bags that have a very unique coloring. Two tone bags are simple and versatile; they add just a pop of something different to your look that you just don't get with an all-black or all-navy bag. Let's have some fun and look at these eye catching beauties.

Gap, Two Tone Leather Clutch, $29 [sold out but loving this one!]
A sassy little wristlet that is great with jeans when you just need your keys, cards, and phone. 

A zip top bag with winged sides. It's a new classic that is perfect for work. Fits a laptop.

Steve Madden Bbandit, $88
Color blocking never looked more fabulous with this pop of blue! Bring on spring.

Evergreen and hunter green are my go to transition colors for winter to spring. Its a bold statement color, especially paired with this khaki. Gives it a retro vibe.

Two toned bags are an easy way to find a staple bag without spending a ton of cash. Finding the perfect color combination will make it your throw on and go with any outfit.
