Sweater Steals

Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Sweater Theory | Sneakers Vince | Sunglasses Ralph Lauren

Not going to lie, the mall post-Christmas is a pretty scary place. But if you are brave enough to venture in you are sure to find a good deal. Exhibit A: this theory cashmere sweater for, drum roll please, 50% off. Pretty hard to pass up a deal like that so I got two. I absolutely love the burgundy color of this one mixed with the charcoal gray. And as an added touch I threw on my pink tinted sunnies because I love the way they look with any shades of red or pink.

Yet Another Casual Friday

Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Tank Helmut Lang | Shirt Rails | Shoes Miu Miu

Ahh, all my finals are finally over and now I get to be super lazy for a bit. Well, at least until my winter session courses start (but those are online, so they can all be done while still wearing pajamas). But for now, I will be embracing laziness with super comfy and easy to wear pieces, such as a plaid shirt. This plaid shirt is not only super easy to wear, but it is also the comfiest shirt I own, and it can be worn in so many ways. 

Sale Season

Wearing: Jeans AG | Tank Aritzia | Sweater Maje, Similar, Similar | Boots Miu Miu

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yeah, there's the holidays and all that. But let's be real, the reason this time of year is so great, the sales. This year I decided to hold off on any major shoe shopping until December because these designer sales are just too good. Like these Miu Miu boots that I got for 30% off. And as the month goes on the sales will just get better and better. Of course the selection will shrink if you wait, but you could score a huge deal. But whether you buy now or wait a little bit longer it's definitely the best time to score a great pair of shoes (.. or a handbag, or some clothes, or accessories..)

P.S. How cute is Bella? She even got dressed up for the picture too!

Music Monday | Flashed Junk Mind

This week's Music Monday features Milky Chance, or my favorite German duo. (That would be out of the two german duos I'm currently aware of, the other being Digitalism.) Now, I'm sure by now you've all heard the song Stolen Dance. In fact, you've probably heard it one too many times by now. And while I'm not one to easily tire of songs I love, it is good to know that they are not simply a one hit wonder. So, enjoy.

Embellished Basics

Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Sweater Aritzia | Tank Aritzia | Boots Acne Studios

I love a good high neckline. So, obviously this sweater with a neckline that falls somewhere in between a crew neck and a turtleneck is the perfect addition to my wardrobe. And a little peek-a-boo lace hem adds a little embellishment to the everyday uniform of jeans and a sweater. 

Gray Day

Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Sweater Aritzia | Shirt Splendid | Boots Acne Studios

I absolutely love this sleeveless sweater, but the challenge is, of course, wearing it when its freezing outside. So I went with the obvious solution, layering. And because color might as well not exist this fall (let's face it I don't think I've worn a color other than gray, black, or beige lately), I opted for a tone on tone look with a gray shirt layered underneath. I like the way it looks, and I especially like the high slits on either side that give an extra peek at the layered pieces.
