It’s hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone. The weekend went by entirely too fast and I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to my Christmas tree. With that said, I’m starting to think the only good thing about this time of year are all of the after holiday sales. There are so many amazing deals that are really hard to resist. I’ve been stalking these boots for a while now and finally decided I had to have them….a $39.94 sale price is hard to pass up plus they’re super cute. 

Once the temperatures drop I find myself living in cozy sweaters and turtlenecks. Winter is an easy season to conquer if you have go to favorites in your closet. I’ve linked a few cute tops I recently purchased at great prices…like this one, this one, this one and this one . Yes, I have a shopping problem. 

So today I realized , the one thing I disliked the most about living in Chicago is actually the one thing I miss the most….Snow. Not only is it beautiful, there’s something peaceful about it. Plus, I was able to wear my favorite snow boots today! Not only are they incredibly warm, they’re cute and cozy. I’m a huge fan of Sorel, they make fashionable shoes that conquer the elements. 

After spending some time in the snow with my four legged child, some hot cocoa was exactly what i needed. I hope you’re all having a fabulous holiday season! 

Every year I decide I’m going to start my holiday shopping early and every year I don’t….If you’re like me and wait until the last minute, finding the perfect gift can be difficult. As much as I love the holiday “hustle and bustle ” it can be stressful. With that said, I tend to avoid the amateur shoppers at the malls and opt for holiday online shopping. Don’t get me wrong, I online shop year round but I tend to do it more during the holiday season. The truth is, the online deals are often better than the in store deals and a lot of retailers won’t even match the online price or promotion ( I’m talking you to Old Navy and H&M). If you’re looking for that one stop shop (online or brick and mortar) for the ladies in your life be sure to check out Charming Charlie. I’ve linked some of my favorite holiday sparkle below: 
Statement earrings, tutu girl pouch, plaid tights, statement bracelet, sparkle polish confetti gift bag

I told myself I was going to stop buying buffalo plaid but then I realized…I’m not a quitter. This entire outfit is from Old Navy, I’m seriously loving their fall and winter selection this year. Black and white will forever be one of my favorite color combinations so I know I’ll get a lot of use out of this top. If you don’t like buffalo plaid, my skirt is also available in tartan (which is equally as cute).  These flats are selling out quickly online but you may still be able to find them in your local store. I found similar ones here. 

 

I decided to wear this dress to a wedding last weekend in Chicago and I’m wearing it again today! I added the ribbon around the waist but it can certainly be worn without it. Ribbon or no ribbon there’s so much to love about this dress. FYI…my sunnies are from LuLu’s and their under $20. 

Sorry for the late post, what a Monday! I hope everyone conquered the day in style. Okay…I’m going to go ahead and say it now, I’m going to be living in this beanie all winter. My pants are still available in limited sizes and so is the sweater.  My sunnies look designer and they’re currently on sale for $8. What’s the moral of this post? I love a good sale.

Sharing my favorite fall finds from Charming Charlie today! I’m so obsessed with these booties and they’re under $40. Seriously,they are the most comfortable booties ever. I’m also loving these booties. The handbag is also from Charming Charlie but unfortunately it’s sold out online. Maybe stop by your local store to see if it’s still in stock. I’ve also linked a scarf similar to the one pictured above. If you haven’t noticed, one of my favorite colors this fall is mustard yellow so these bracelets were a must. Hope you all had a good weekend! I can’t believe it’s almost over…

If you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge fan of midi skirts. Everyone is always asking me where I find my skirts and my answer is always the same….Chicwish. I love classic feminine style. I truly believe trends come and go but classic style is forever. I’ve linked some of my favorite fall midi skirts below.

This one I love, pair it with a chunky turtle neck sweater and you’re good to go in my book. I’ve had my eye on this skirt for a few weeks now, the color is gorgeous. I’m also loving this one because I’m obsessed with plaid. So… I’m sorry if it’s too soon to start talking about holiday parties but how perfect is this one ?  Honestly , if everyone would just channel their inner Audrey Hepburn the world would be a better place.
