Mad For Plaid

This season I’m all about the plaid trend. Bloggers like Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam and Sarah Vickers of Classy Girls Wear Pearls have shown us that plaid is the ultimate versatile look; it can easily be dressed up or down! I have been on the hunt for the perfect plaid pieces, and here are a few of my favorites!

I. Madewell Scarf II. Kiel James Patrick Bow Bracelet III. Tuckernuck Lolo Bag

IV. L.L. Bean Pajamas V. Gap Moto Jacket VI. C. Wonder Blazer

VII. Asos Satchel VIII. J.Crew Moccasins IX. Sperry Top-Sider Watch

Now that the weather has dropped significantly in SC, I’m in serious need of a few of these goodies! Especially the pajamas and moccasins! Brrr!

What’s your favorite way to style plaid?

Pinterest Inspiration: Elbow Patch Sweaters

There’s no doubt that Pinterest inspires women from all over the world to be creative in the way they dress, cook, travel, exercise, decorate, etc. The list goes on and on! I’ll admit that I’m slightly obsessed with Pinterest, it’s a great way to gather and share ideas that you can save as long as you want! One of my absolute favorite outfit inspirations that seems to keep popping up on my feed is elbow patch sweaters. There are so many different combinations of colors and fabrics, the possibilities are endless! Here are some of the best:

L&G Holiday Gift Guide IV: What I’m Wanting

For L&G’s Gift Guide IV, I decided to post a few goodies that are on my wishlist this year!

1. Barbour Beadnell Jacket – I’m a sucker for this classic Barbour. They fit so well and go with just about everything!

2. neuLASH – I usually don’t wear a lot of makeup, but one of my favorite things to do is experiment with my eyelashes, whether that’s playing with different mascaras or eyelash curlers. I’ve never tried lash enhancers of any kind, but I’ve heard such good things about this product that it seems like it’s well worth it. Similar to Latisse but without any of the nasty side effects.

3. GiGi New York iPhone 5 Case – I love the vibrant color of this phone case next to the gold monogram! I usually don’t own hard shell cases because I’m pretty clumsy with my phone, but this one is too pretty to resist!

4. Tory Burch Glazed Leather Clutch – Oh boy, I have been eyeing this clutch for so long! It can be dressed up or down. Perfect with any outfit no doubt!

5. Loren Hope Clara Earrings – Another I’ve obsessed over for some time now. Much dressier than the studs I usually wear, but I’d find any excuse to wear these!

6. Michael Kors Runway Watch – Black and gold is a favorite combination of mine. Michael Kors does it right! I also have small wrists and this watch has a small face, so it’s perfect!

7. Chloé Eau de Parfum – Such a great scent. I’m usually a Chanel girl but I have to smell this every time I’m in the perfume section of Sephora.

8. Baublebar Tortoise Constellation Bib – Do I have a real reason to want a necklace this glam? Nope. Do I care? Absolutely not.

9. Chanel Colour Lipshine in Rouge Coco – I cannot possibly say enough good things about this lipshine. It’s the perfect combination of lipstick and lip gloss: the long-lasting wear we all want without the stickiness. I was head over heels with this little piece of heaven until I misplaced it two days after purchase. Needless to say I’d love to have it again!

10. Evelyn Henson and Design Darling Prints – My absolute favorites from both. How adorable would these look hanging above a desk? They would definitely give me a little extra motivation during late-night study sessions!

11. Kate Spade New York Skinny Mini Bow Ring – It was love at first sight when I spotted this on The College Prepster! Simple and delicate, my favorite type of jewelry!

12. Frye Melissa Boot – One of the best Frye designs in my opinion. SO incredibly versatile. This is the perfect winter boot!

I bought this puffer vest a few years ago from Lands End, and I still wear it every chance I get! It’s great quality and the monogram adds a nice feminine touch! Paired with a plaid shirt, comfy skirt, and riding boots, it makes for the perfect holiday shopping outfit.

In Mint Condition

Happy Hump Day!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their Black Friday and Cyber Monday as much as I did! With all the craziness of completing my finals over the past two weeks, I decided to whip out these J.Crew Factory mint cords to brighten up my day! I’ve never explored the possibility of pastels during fall and winter, but this is the perfect pop of color!

And a few other mint items I’m coveting:

ASOS cross body // Baublebar necklace and earrings // Piperlime pumps // Banana Republic scarf //

GiGi New York iPhone 5s case // Target peacoat

Don’t be afraid to switch up your winter wardrobe and try pastels like this one!
