I wake up some mornings and think to myself, “I really don’t want to go out and take photos today.” Every blogger has felt it at some point. Sometimes when the weather is dreary, or you’re too busy, or you’d just rather be doing something else… it makes it that much harder. But finding fun new locations for shoots changes my attitude on those days, like this spot we found in a public garden. The fountain was so beautiful, and if you didn’t notice we had a little friend make an appearance in some of the pictures. I wish I could show you all my camera roll so you could see how many pictures were taken of the bird vs. me. Spoiler alert… the damn bird wins.

The weather has dropped again, and brought the gloom along with it, which called for lots of layers. Simple shift dresses and chunky scarves are one of my favorite, versatile pairings when dressing for the cold. Plus, I can take off the scarf and boots, throw on a statement necklace and heels, and BAM! Day-to-night in no time!

Rocksbox Experience

Perry Street Flora necklace, Gorjana Elea cuff, and Slate Crystal Spike earrings all via Rocksbox ¦ Ann Taylor Loft Utility Blouse (50% off with code MONDAY) ¦ J.Crew Toothpick Cords (30% off with code HOLIDAY)

Hello, readers! You may have seen these jewels in previous posts. They are all from Rocksbox, which essentially allows you to try out jewelry from popular designers on loan for as long as you want. Think of it as the Birchbox of jewelry! This is how it works:

1. Take a quick style survey so that your personal stylist has a better idea of what you like.

2. Receive 3 pieces of jewelry by mail, all hand picked for you, and wear them for as long as you want.

3. If you’d like to keep any of your items, you can buy them at 20% off! Otherwise, you swap out your set whenever you’re ready to receive your next box. (Did I mention that they pre-pay for your return shipping? I thought that was a nice little addition!)

What I love most about Rocksbox is that I really get the best of both worlds. They carry some of my favorite designers – like Loren Hope and Gorjana – but also a few exciting brands that I’ve never heard of.

I absolutely recommend trying Rocksbox to anyone that appreciates creative brands and beautiful jewelry. If you’d like to sign up, you can receive your first month for only $9 by following THIS LINK and clicking “Get Started”. From There, just enter the code BeYourBrightest upon sign-up. After that, you’re ready to go! I hope you enjoy your first box just as much as I did!

A big thanks to Rocksbox for sponsoring this post.

Holiday Gift Guide III – For The Men

One thing that I always need help with is gift shopping for men. I’m the absolute worst at it, and that’s probably because the men in my life – those being my dad, brother, and boyfriend – all have very different tastes. One prefers clothing and watches, one is tech savvy and really likes fun gadgets, and the other could honestly care less… he’s happy with whatever he’s surprised with. I know there are men and women out there who are faced with something similar around the holidays, so I included a little bit of everything into my men’s gift guide.

Magnetic Bottle Opener ¦ Apple TV ¦ Ray-Ban Wayfarers ¦ Dark Rum Candle ¦ Watch ¦ Plaid Button-Down Shirt ¦ Large Travel Bag and Toiletry Case ¦ Quilted Barbour Jacket ¦ Bluetooth Speaker ¦ Flask ¦ Wallet ¦ Boots

Happy shopping, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with their family and friends!

ON Sweater II

Outfit: Old Navy cable knit sweater and flannel top (both on sale!) ¦ Banana Republic skirt ¦ Hunter rain boots ¦ Kate Spade bag ¦ Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain ‘Smitten’ and Super Lustrous Lip Gloss ‘Berry Allure’

Jewelry: Page 6 Boutique earrings (similar) ¦ Perry Street Flora Crystal Necklace c/o Rocksbox ¦ Kendra Scott Skylen ring ¦ David Yurman ring

There’s nothing better than soft sweaters and flannel shirts to keep you warm on a chilly day. I mean really, that’s what I basically live in during fall and winter. One of the first places I stop at for new sweaters is Old Navy. Let’s be honest, a lot of places charge a pretty penny for cable-knit sweaters. Old Navy has all the style AND the affordability. I really love this cable-knit + flannel popover combo, and both of these items are currently on sale! These would no doubt make for a great Christmas gift as well.

Transitional

Outfit: THML sweater c/o Page 6 Boutique ¦ Ann Taylor Loft scuba skirt ¦ DV Dolce Vita booties ¦ Cole Haan sunglasses ¦ Kate Spade bag ¦ Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain ‘Sultry ¦ Essie in ‘Sand Tropez’ 

Jewelry: Slate Crystal Spike earrings and Gorjana cuff via Rocksbox ¦ Nameplate necklace c/o Jane Basch Jewelry ¦ Kendra Scott Skylen ring ¦ Michael Kors watch ¦ David Yurman ring, cuff and link bracelet

One thing that I will never begin to understand is moody South Carolina weather. Last week I walked outside to ice on my car almost every morning… but this week is ridiculously, unseasonably warm. On the bright side, the change breaks up the chilly months and allows me to get a few more wears out of a few of my transitional favorites like this scuba skirt (currently 50% off) and my open-toe booties (also on sale).

Also, you may have noticed that I’m wearing a few new jewelry pieces from a company called Rocksbox. If you’ve never heard of it, you should check out their website right this second because you’re missing out! You’ll see a post about it later this week, including a really exciting offer from Rocksbox!

Plaid + Camel

Outfit: LL Bean Peacoat ¦ Piko 1988 flannel shirt (similar here and here) ¦ J.Crew skirt (on sale!) and tights ¦ Charlotte Olympia ‘Kitty’ flat ¦ Cole Haan sunglasses ¦ Kate Spade bag ¦ Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain ‘Sultry

Jewelry: Page 6 Boutique double pearl studs (To order, call 803.548.0559, or similar here) and bracelet (identical) ¦ Kate Spade watch ¦ David Yurman ring, cuff and link bracelet

Happy Friday, readers! I’m so glad that it’s finally the weekend. I (sort of) apologize for the excessive amount of plaid I’ve worn lately. Whenever it gets cold, I go directly into plaid/flannel mode. I can’t help it! Especially with this Piko 1988 flannel. They’re known for making some of the comfiest tops for women, and this one is no exception!

I wanted to mention again that the J.Crew skirt that I’m wearing is still on major sale, and comes in four colors! I snatched up two colors during Black Friday last year and wear them constantly. It’s definitely a must have for fall and winter.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Cheers!

Holiday Gift Guide II – For The Homebody

We all have that one friend that would much rather stay in on the weekends and watch Netflix than go out. The kind of person that secretly does a little dance when plans are cancelled unexpectedly. You know exactly what I’m talking about! We can all be a bit of a homebody from time to time. That’s why my second gift guide is for exactly that. Honestly, you don’t have to be that kind of person to enjoy these gifts!

Blanket scarf ¦ Pajama set ¦ Pig bookends ¦ Buffalo check throw ¦ Moccasins ¦ Clarisonic ¦ Diptyque candle ¦ Coffee mug ¦ Plaid fringe throw ¦ Bluetooth wireless headphones ¦ Pillows (cable knit, gold, leopard, monogram)

I hope everyone has a great day. Hang in there, it’s almost the weekend!

Plaid Is The New Black

Outfit: ‘Plaid Is The New Black’ cardigan c/o Page 6 Boutique (To order, call 803.548.0559) ¦ J.Crew Chambray shirt (50% off!) ¦ Marshalls Jersey midi skirt (similar here and here) ¦ DV Dolce Vita booties ¦ Kate Spade bag ¦ Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm ‘Honey’

Jewelry: Lisi Lerch earrings ¦ Kate Spade watch ¦ David Yurman ring, cuff and link bracelet

Good morning, readers! One of my most favorite new additions to my fall wardrobe is this ‘Plaid Is The New Black’ cardigan. I’m obsessed with everything plaid this season, and when I saw this in Page 6 Boutique I had to have it. It has some weight to it, which makes it perfect for braving the cold. I wore it over the weekend with jeans and riding boots, and paired it during the week with a comfy midi skirt and booties for a more work-appropriate look.

P.S. Please excuse the excessive amount of squinting in these pictures. Seasonal allergies + a wind chill do NOT mix well during photo sessions.
