Most Popular Post of 2017 : Blush + Grey

online stylist, spring outfit, shopping guide
As I mentioned before, one of the reasons I started this blog was to find a way to work as a "stylist" - to help others put together outfits.  Over the years, my blog has evolved, and I have realized that one of the things I love to do is put together outfits.  In creating outfits, I like to find ways to maximize what people own and help them strategically shop - for both the best deals and pieces that can be worn many different ways.

A few weeks ago, I shared a bright and colorful 15 pieces, and today, I am sharing a more pastel ones - with pinks, whites, and light greys.  I have built this collection around staple pieces like basic tees and skinny jeans.  I also added in a few trends like ruffles and girlfriend jeans.  In creating this staple 15 piece pastel spring wardrobe, I have tried to be budget-conscious by using pieces you might already have in your closet (like tees and jeans) - along with finding items that are under $50 (and a lot under $25) - and including only one item that is more expensive, which is these booties; however, I think these would be a staple that would get a lot of wear for the price.  Also, I did not include accessories like bags or sunglasses - but I shared some sunglasses under $12 and bags under $25 in this post, that would work perfectly with this color theme.

Most Popular Post of 2017 : Vacation Packing Guide




This vacation packing guide was one of my most popular posts of 2017!
And, don't miss my after Christmas sales at the end of the post.

This packing list and outfit ideas are made up of a more neutral palette with khaki, whites, and black, along with a few prints.  In doing this - it really shows that with only 15 items - you can create 15 different looks.  And, all these pieces are budget items - except for the wedges.  The chandelier earrings are marked down to $20, the ruffled cami is only $10 (and comes in other colors), my favorite sweater.

10 Favorite Christmas Movies on Sling, Netflix + Amazon


I love Christmas movies.  I am a sucker for the romantic stories.  Each year, I look forward to watching some of my old favorite ones that I have listed below, as well, as the new 2017 Hallmark movies.  I have to say that I have been a little disappointed this year with the new ones.  Anyone else feel the same way?

What do you think about pairing leopard with pink?  I love it - I think the color combination works so well, especially with the black jeans.  This pink and leopard combination was one of the most frequently viewed outfits I put together last year on my blog.  This look could easily be worn dressed-up to a party and for an evening out

red beanie leopard jacket
 Hope you are having a great weekend!  I love the pop of red with black and with a leopard faux fur jacket.  I think that jacket would look cute with red gloves.  Has anyone else tried or heard of the faux leather leggings by Spanx?  I am curious if they are as great as everyone says.

CHUNKY SWEATERS
And, as you know I LOVE sweaters - which I have shown with all my try on sessions lately. It's probably the fact that I live where it is cold and snowy (for many months) makes me want to bundle-up in a warm sweater.  These sweaters below all look so cozy and are on my "WISH LIST".  I especially love the large knit one on the right - but I also like a good fisherman or cable knit sweater, too.

 Happy Friday!

Before we get to all the great deals... just a couple of things...

I love the pop of red in these two plaid looks above - I can definitely gather some style inspiration from Kendi and Blair.  I would not think to pair a camel sweater under the red buffalo plaid - but it looks so good!  I found these two cute PLAID JACKETS - HERE and HERE.

Also, today is FREE SHIPPING DAY - so if you need any last minute gifts - today is the day to buy them - since many stores are offering free shipping  - like EXPRESS (with 50% off) and J. CREW (with 40% off).  And more great deals, like LOFT (50% off Everything) and GAP (up to 50% with additional 20% off).

Lastly, does anyone else go to the store to return items - and end up just buying more stuff.  Last night I went to the store to return this sweater, which I got for cheaper at a later sale, and ended up buying this fur trimmed puffer vest - mostly because it was ONLY $25!  And, I love a cozy warm vest.
