Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

I had been eyeing these mesh leggings for about a year now, and watched them go in and out of stock. I almost pulled the trigger on them several times, and I'm patting my procrastinator self on the back because they recently went on sale for $23. Add to cart please and thank you! I'm so glad I waited because they are the comfiest leggings I've every worn. The waistband doesn't dig in which will be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow!

'Tis the Season

I consider Thanksgiving a cozy holiday, I can usually be found in leggings and an oversized tee or sweater depending on the weather in the sunshine state. But when it comes to all the fun Christmas parties I love the thought of more is more. Bring on all the bold reds, shine, lace, and sparkle!

With our annual Christmas party coming up, I have all things holiday fashion on my mind. I usually go with a fun festive dress and sparkly heels, but may switch it up this year. I know not everyone lives in Florida, so a fun metallic wrap comes in handy to keep warm.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

So many sales, so little time! Express has been on point lately with their sales (currently 40% off everything), and I scooped up these pretties last weekend for only $30 ~ stay tuned to see them styled in next week's post! But right now, I'm all about the Nordstrom Fall Sale and Sephora's annual Beauty Insider Event. People ask me all the time why I love Sephora over Ulta and the answer is simple, better sales with zero exclusions. The sale is valid on every single item period.

I'm all about being cozy this time of year, and live in oversized cozy chic sweatshirts, leggings, and stretchy jeans. I had been eyeing these mesh leggings for a year now watching them go in and out of stock, and I finally ordered them last week since they're currently only $23!

Since I loved my cold shoulder Caslon sweatshirt (styled here) that I scooped up last spring, I knew I'd love their side tie sweatshirt as well. Nothing beats cozy chic! And sales too of course!

Cozy Chic

Happy Friday! I've rounded up some of my cozy favorites to enjoy a relaxing fall weekend at home or a local winery.

Cold Shoulder Sweatshirt - Express | OTS Sweater - BB Dakota | Jeans - BP. | Booties {20% off} - Vince Camuto | Ring - Kendra Scott | Copper Candle - Illume | Thankful Wine Glasses {similar} - Crate and Barrel | Eyeshadow - NARS

I can't get enough of slouchy cold shoulder or OTS sweaters and sweatshirts. They're just so cozy, and can be easily dressed up or down if you're heading out for fall fun. If I'm dressing up the look, I like to add some statement jewelry and sparkly eyeshadow for a little pop and my favorite peep toe booties. This look is perfect for lounging on the patio sipping an apple cider mimosa or my homemade spiced mulled wine (recipe found here), or for getting lost in the corn maze and pumpkin picking.

Summer Sun Recovery Mode

Growing up, I was the model citizen for everything you shouldn't do when it comes to enjoying Mr. Sun. I just wanted that golden glow as quickly as possible, and would lay out without sunscreen, use baby oil, and even *gasp* fake n' bake. After some bad sunburns, trips to the Caribbean with zero sunscreen application (which makes me cringe now), a biopsy at the dermatologist, and just plain ol' growing up and coming to my senses I realized how important it was to practice safe sun.

Even though in blog world, it looks like summer is over MAC knows what's up and that it's still in fact summer. Most of us are still spending our weekends by the pool or at the beach, and with that our skin needs some recovery love.

I never knew sunburnt lips could hurt so bad, and be a peeling mess until my Southern Caribbean cruise back in 2009. I now make sure to slather on plenty of chapstick with SPF in it, but if I still end up burning that sensitive area on my face MAC's lip conditioner is the perfect antidote.

When I've been kissed by the sun just enough without any damage, I like to slather on Moroccan Oil's After Sun Milk which enhances my glow. Plus I love how the first ingredient is water!

The combination of mineralized water plus in MAC's Charged Water instantly rehydrates while also adding radiance. A healthy summer glow!

Vacation Essentials

How is it already the last weekend in April?! With summer like temps, and spring in full swing I'm in full on vacation planning mode. Our San Francisco and Napa Valley trip is rapidly approaching, but we're also narrowing down our first family trip with lil' miss in the fall. Beaches and palm trees are a pre-requisite, and I can't wait to instill in her the amazingness that is wanderlust.

Nothing makes me happier than a tropical getaway or lounging by the pool or at the beach, and BP. is killin' it yet again with their Beach Please hat. Completing the look for laying out in style is this blue scalloped two piece, Billabong coverup, and fun tote. And who wouldn't want this fun call bell for refills in the prettiest mason jar ever. Because pink pineapples! I broke out my mini flamingo and swan drink floaties last weekend, but now I think I need to make room in my pool loving heart for a golden swan drink holder that holds up to 4 drinks at once. I also get excited to break out Rose which was a sweet surprise from Emily for my birthday a few years ago.

If you struggle to blow up these fun floaties like I do, then this electric air pump will be a lifesaver! And last, but certainly not least is a pretty pineapple towel and waterproof radio. Hopefully it's playing some 90's throwbacks!

BP. Dressed Up and Down

I raved about these leggings here in olive, and once again Nordstrom's amazing customer service stepped up and went above and beyond. After only wearing them once, I found a hole in them *insert tears*. Nordstrom replaced them no questions asked, but unfortunately no longer had them in my size for the olive color. So, they replaced them with the black color which I also love since they go with absolutely everything. As I mentioned with the olive leggings, I love how these leggings can be dressed up or down. Perfect for a night out, or for an athleisure look to run errands.

Dressed Up

To dress up the leggings, I added a sparkly top, heels, lipstick, and a fun pop of color with my favorite Rebecca Minkoff clutch.

Athleisure

For the cozy-chic athleisure look, I added a flowy tank, flip flops, a nude lipstick, and a rhinestone studded hat from our cruise to Bermuda last year.

Not only are graphic tees fun, but I love how they can be dressed up or down. Add a fabulous pair of heels and a statement necklace and you're ready for a night out. Pair it with your favorite jeans and some flats and head out for a cup of coffee or to run some errands. Perfection.

Wrapped Up in Neutrals

We don't get many chilly days here in the sunshine state, which is why I moved here from the northeast. So, it's nice that when the temps do drop for a few days due to a cold front that we actually appreciate them, and get to break out fun items like scarves, sweaters, and boots. I'm a huge fan of winter whites, and am smitten with this neutral plaid scarf H got me for Christmas from Nordstrom. Of course, I had to break it out to combat the chill in the air last week.
