Hello 2021! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season despite how different things may have been. I did not set out to take a 2+ week break from blogging, it just kind of happened that way. Now that we’re in the new year I’m planning on getting back to a regular schedule here. I’ve been blogging for almost 9 years now and want to bring back a lot of focus here in the new year.

2020 was kind of a weird year for fashion, but if the last year taught me anything style-wise it’s that a curated wardrobe of basics that I can mix and match is all I want right now. I found some of my absolute favorite basic pieces last year and have built more of a capsule wardrobe around them. This year I will be choosing a few staples each month and sharing multiple ways to style them.

As happy as I am to turn the page and leave 2020 behind, I know nothing is going to change overnight. On New Years Day we woke up to a new year but the same world we’ve been living in the past 10 months. Things will probably get worse before they eventually get better. But one day we will turn the page to a brand new chapter and we’ll appreciate it more because of all of this. Thank you for following me and for all the support. Cheers to 2021!

Happy Monday! We’re back to 80 degrees/basically summer weather so I’m looking back to last week when we had a little bit of actual fall. It was fun to get dressed for colder weather and I documented my outfits each day. Breaking them down below.

Hello from my house! I can’t even remember what day it is or how many days we’re into the social distancing, but here I am. A month ago if you would have told me we would all be quarantined in our houses I would have thought you lost your mind, it feels surreal to be living out this weird historical event. Anyway, comfort has been my #1 priority and I’ve been living in sweats. I want to share my five favorite lounge wear sets with you and I’ll link to any similar options I find on sale.

As always, thank you so much for reading and following. Please stay healthy and stay home if you are able to.

We’re in that weird holiday fog between Christmas and New Year’s where every day blends together and I don’t really know what to do with myself. Truthfully I’ve been pretty lazy and it’s been amazing, but I’m starting to get a little restless and ready to do a little work. Today I wanted to share a blog post with four very different outfit ideas for New Years Eve.

20’s Theme

dress here and here

I got this dress a few months back and tucked it away for a special occasion. It’s such a fun sequin cocktail dress, but my favorite part is the fringe on the bottom. I think it would be perfect if you’re going to any 20’s theme party… or just want something a little different.

Cocktail Attire

This dress is a bit of a splurge but it’s one I’ll have for many years to come. It’s vegan leather and runs pretty TTS. Also comes in a really pretty tealish blue.

Festive but Warm

top, pants

I included this outfit in my holiday party outfit post too, but I the top also works for NYE. If you’re looking for something a little more casual than a dress but still want to be dressed fo the occasion. Love it with these dressy joggers, you could also pair it with black jeans or leather pants.

Comfy on the Couch

joggers

If you’re staying in this year, these joggers are the way to go. They’re so soft (I sleep in them pretty often), have pockets and come in a few fun prints. There’s also a matching hoodie if you want a coordinating set. Honestly a night of comfort sounds like an amazing way to ring in a new decade.

I’m actually still trying to figure out our plans for the night so I have no idea what I’ll be wearing.

Hope you’re having a relaxing holiday week!

Happy Thanksgiving week! I cannot believe how quickly this holiday crept up on us this year, but I feel like I’m going to be saying that about every holiday from now on. I put this casual outfit together with post-holiday comfort in mind. It could be something you wear to travel this week, after the big meal Thursday when you want to relax, on black Friday when the last thing you want to do is put on pants with a zipper. Or maybe that’s just me… #pregnancyproblems.

On Thursday I’ll probably wear jeans and an oversized sweater. I just got this one and it’s super comfy but still really cute and perfect for a family get together. I just checked and it’s actually supposed to be chilly here on Thanksgiving for the first time in I don’t even know how long. The last couple of years it’s been warm, and anything but fall like. Fingers crossed it doesn’t heat up this week.

Here I’m wearing a tshirt and joggers from N Philanthropy, a newer brand I’ve grown to love. They have the best basics that are really comfortable, I keep saying I’m going to be living in them until this baby is born. I love that everything can be dressed up or down…. and clearly not maternity but perfect for a growing bump. But the best part is they live up to their philanthropy and give back. 10% of proceeds go to Children’s Hospital LA, the ASPCA, SPCALA and other local animal charities.

I’ve had a hard time finding joggers that work on petites. A lot of times they’re too baggy and can end up looking too casual (for joggers), I love the way N Philanthropy’s fit. I have a few pairs and they hit me right above the ankle (I’m 5’4) and are a little more fitted. If you’re wanting a more oversized look, you can always size up.

Thanks for reading – hope you have a great holiday week!

Over the weekend we made a quick trip to Big Bear with friends. It was the perfect getaway and so nice to finally get a dose of fall. We had the best weather and all the trees were changing colors, something we’re not as used to in Orange County. But the best part might have been bundling Crosby up. She was so cuddly in her winter clothes, like this bear suit that kept her so snuggly!
