When I am bored and iced in the house with nothing else to do, I guess it's time to play dress up and cozy in for the day. I get so bored being home all day, even just for one day. Unless it's on a work day and we are snowed in (which NEVER happens) I am fine. Just something about being stuck inside when I could be out doing things on the weekend. Not that I will ever pass up some extra snuggle time with Maui.
​
This H&M sweater might just be my favorite. Ever. I need it in every single color. It's the perfect "over-sized" style but not overwhelming on my petite figure or scratchy on my sensitive skin. Perfectly paired with my favorite pants this season from Urban Outfitters, I could be an outfit repeater in this one way too often! Or switch it up. I love this sweater with a midi skirt or high waisted jeans of basically any fit. Such an easier sweater!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead wrapping up January 2020.... HOW? WHAT!? Time flies!!

Everyone: Fall where you at!?
Nobody: PSL!!!
Me: Summer where did you go!?

I'm actually super excited for fall, see ya next year summer. I get more excited about fall every year! This year especially, I was actually ready for it a few weeks early. It's just been so hot and muggy here that I'm ready for a change. I also get way more inspired to style fall clothes and layer than other seasons. Don't get me wrong, spring and early summer is my favorite but I sure am ready for the beautiful leaves, pumpkins, and cozy coffee dates! (Not gonna lie, I was that girl that got the PSL on the first day they had it--- however it was unintentional!)

I've even had a few pairs of fall shoes and sweaters for awhile now that I've been dying to break in. I love all of the colors that are showing up in fashion for this season. All of the golden yellows, shades of mauves and jade green, so pretty! This weekend Austin and I are taking our engagement pictures and I think it will be the perfect time to break out some of the new fall clothes and jewelry.

Happy Fall, come on sweater weather!!

I'm all about some dainty details with my jewelry. What I love even more? Adding a statement piece and completing my look down to every little ring. When you see someone that just looks like they have it all figured out and they always look so put together, take a look at their jewelry. That's almost always the finishing touch that perfects an outfit. One of my favorite brands for mixing and matching jewelry is Gorjana! Whether you love rose gold, silver, or classic gold they have the perfect items from dainty to statement with the perfect luxe look. I'm also obsessed with my new Arlo and Joy necklace with this blue crystal. They have amazing, one-of-a kind type pieces that go so well with all my Gorjana ones :)
Here are some of my favorite pieces I wear to finish off every look!

One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to create a neutral, mini capsule wardrobe for each season. When I cleaned out my closet the other day I realized this would be harder than I thought. I LOVE color! It brightens up my day and often times completes the perfect outfit. ​However, at other times, I find myself struggling to find classic outfits I can mix and match on a day-to-day basis. 

​The reason I decided to do a “mini capsule” is so that I can throw in my more color and printed pieces with my neutrals and it will help expand my wardrobe’s potential. Here are a few easy steps on how to create your own personal mini capsule wardrobe!

I love shades of beige and will always be a grey girl! You will be shopping for your missing staple items in these colors.

For me this would be different types of turtleneck sweaters and skinny jeans for fall and winter; more of a French, casual style. During the warmer months I thrive off of dresses and mini skirts. Once you know what you are more likely to grab off the hanger on a rushed morning, you can shop for styles that will mix and match in your “capsule palette.” For example, I also wear a lot of different pinks. I love how these Free People pants are almost neutral, still bring color into my outfit, but I can wear a lot of different solid tops with them to switch it up.

​I’m not saying you have to throw out your prints, because those are your accent pieces! What I am saying though, is that having solid textures or monochromatic prints helps you mix and match more. One great thing about sweater styles right now is all of the different weaves that are perfect for adding detail to your look. Find a nice pair of textured pants you can wear to the office with a blouse but can change into a fitted top with those same pants when you head out for dinner.
 
Just because it’s a capsule wardrobe doesn’t mean it has to be boring and basic, it just means it has to fit your current wardrobe to elevate and expand it! Happy capsuling ladies!! ;)

I love nothing more than a piece for my closet that can be worn from the office straight to date night! This. Bag. Has. It! Melie Bianco handbags are vegan, cruelty free in every way (workers included), and just overall amazing quality! For all you animals lovers like me out there, they are also Peta award winners as 'Best Animal-Friendly Accessories'

I love that I can wear this one two ways: as a hands-free waist bag to edge up my look, or with the cross body strap for everyday wear. Throw it on with a faux fur coat, your favorite pair of booties, and your outfit is elevated X 100! For someone who is always running around from work on a Friday to dinner and a night out, I am always looking for pieces that can transition well as staples, but one's that aren't too basic and boring. This Stalking Gia Convertible Crossbody is the perfect answer and it's now on sale!! It also comes in black and a sassy red to really be a statement piece; I'm obsessed. Don't miss their sale, I have a feeling it's going to be an 'add to cart' kind of weekend for me :)

Thank you Melie Bianco for sponsoring this post!
Happy weekend loves!

Two words: Platform oxfords. How fun are these!? Madden Girl partnered with the up and coming artist Ezi to encourage individuality and fun when wearing your own style. She recently released a few new songs, one including DaNcing in a Ro0m, that I can't stop listening to! It's such a bop and her voice is seriously amazing! She is the premiere artist on Steve Madden’s record label 5 Towns Records, and has made a name for herself in the music industry. Go check her out right now! Or right after your read this whole post and watch my video at the end ;) She's on tour right now and it ends in January so don't miss out because Ezi is gonna be huge!

I'm always looking for fun but comfortable shoes that I can wear anywhere from work, to date night, or a fun night out and Steve Madden is always my go to! The Madden Girl X Ezi collection is the perfect fit. I think I also need the snake skin booties and pink sneaker for my closet this fall and winter. Honestly I could wear these comfy shoes year round!

They can be styled SO many different ways. These platform oxfords, for example, I will be wearing with jeans, business pants, skirts, and dresses. Also, who doesn't want to be a few inches taller on a daily basis!?

What I love about this line is that anyone can easily express their own style and individuality through just the shoes. Madden Girl is the sister brand of Steve Madden with a little bit of edge and youthful spirit, just like Ezi. She's not here to conform to a specific look or lifestyle, but inspiring girls to make a life for themselves that is fun and beautiful in their own way. Something I always try to embrace in my own life within myself and my brand.

Go check them out here and go check out Ezi's newest releases!
