Even if you’re not a fan of Valentine’s Day you have to appreciate the color palette! I LOVE red and pink especially when they’re together. Over the years Valentine’s Day has become more about self love for me than anything else. So if I want any of these cute Valentine’s Day finds, I’ll buy them myself 😂. The Target finds I’ve linked in this post are selling out so quickly at my local store. Luckily they’re all still available online so don’t wait to buy them! This year, I’m also putting together Galentine’s Day gift bags with self care items and some other goodies. Maybe I’ll do a separate post on those! 

XOXO…

Guys, I think Old Navy might be my new go to for active wear! I’m loving the fit, functionality and the prices! I usually wear a hoodie or zip up over my sets while I work and then shed it for my after work workout. These pieces easily take me from my home office to my home gym (aka my spin bike)! Fitness has been a regular part of my life for well over a decade now but it wasn’t until the last few years that I really started to consider it to be part of my self care routine. Wearing athletic wear is a reminder for me to carve out 20-45 minutes for myself no matter how crazy the day is. Also to say I’m obsessed with this jumpsuit would be an understatement!! It’s AMAZING!! It’s super comfy, super flattering and I love knowing I can wear it for a workout or errand running!

Last year I did my Swiftmas holiday series and it was so much fun I decided I had to do another content series!! This series was a little bit easier than last year’s though (no time consuming DIY projects) . Turns out I have a lot of Cher Horowitz inspired pieces in my closet so this was going to happen eventually! I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling slightly clueless at Christmas, especially when it comes to buying gifts for certain people on your list. See, Clueless at Christmas just makes sense! For this series, I thought it would be fun to put a festive spin on a few of Cher’s iconic looks and quotes! Let me know if you have a favorite! Merry Christmas, everyone!

P.S. you can shop these looks and more here!

The cutest collaboration dropped at Spirt Jersey last week and the late 90s / Y2K vibes are real! The Spirit Jersey x The Powerpuff Girls collection is seriously SO GOOD! It was super tough to pick a favorite jersey but ultimately I decided I’m a little bit Bubbles and a little bit Buttercup (sugar AND spice). I’m wearing size XS in both jerseys and I love how they fit. XS is definitely my go to size at Spirit Jersey for the perfect amount of relaxed. Just like The Powerpuff Girls, we all possess characteristics that make us special and unique. It’s only when we learn to embrace those qualities that we can truly understand our own superpowers. I think that’s what I love about this release, it’s a reminder that amazing things happen when we celebrate our differences and work together! 

P.S. If you’re still trying to finish your holiday shopping, Spirit Jersey has a jersey for everyone on your holiday shopping list!

Special thanks to Spirit Jersey for partnering on this post!

One of my favorite makeup brands, GXVE by Gwen Stefani, is having a 50% off sale through 11/29 for cyber week and I couldn’t be more thrilled ! I’ve got my eyes on some liquid lipstick, mascara and a blush duo. The key to channeling my inner Gwen definitely starts with a red lip! I’m wearing Original Me – Original Recipe lipstick (currently on sale for $13) and Anaheim Line lip liner in – Scarlet Red. I completed my Gwen inspired makeup by using her Eye See In Color – Simple Kind of Life eyeshadow quad and added some sparkle with the Eye See In Sparkle Glitter Shadow in shade Glimmer. I lined my lower lid with GXVE Line It Up gel liner in shade Spiderwebs, it’s the perfect matte black. If there’s a Gwen Stefani fan or a makeup lover on your holiday shopping list, you can’t go wrong with gifting anything from this brand! Trust me!

Ok, now you can ask Siri to play You Make It Feel Like Christmas. Have I mentioned I love Gwen’s Christmas album?

I don’t know about you guys, but I have as many dogs as people to shop for this holiday season! I definitely have more dogs than kids to shop for this season! Most of the people I know are pet parents. I personally love being a dog mom and a dog aunt! Five weeks ago my husband and I adopted another Boxer rescue after the sudden passing of our rescue, Ava. My dogs are my kids. I love buying them Christmas gifts and they love buying their friends gifts! Yes, I will be helping my doggy daughter buy Christmas gifts for her friends and family! It’s her first Christmas with us so she needs a little help! The puzzle toy and personalized blankets were introduced to me by a friend and fellow dog mom. They’re so amazing that I had to include on this gift guide! Last holiday season I discovered a local small business called The Luminous Pets . They recently launched their holiday collection and it’s incredible!! Their snap-on reversible bandannas are my absolute favorite. I bought our dog the Naughty or Nice List bandanna for the holiday season but I’m also loving the Hot Cocoa and Candy Canes. I know some of you are reading this and thinking “what about cats?” Well…if you have a cat on your holiday shopping list, bandannas from The Luminous Pets look ADORABLE on cats! Their holiday collection also includes valerian root catnip toys in the cutest holiday prints!!! Hopefully this post makes shopping for your four legged friends and family members a little bit easier!!

Happy Pawlidays!!

If you haven’t noticed, I take holiday style VERY seriously!! I know it’s technically still Fall, but I can’t help feeling festive!! I guess you could call this a Fall to festive transitional look. Every holiday season, I try to add a few new pieces to my holiday wardrobe but for this look I decided to combine some old favorites!! This time of year, I LOVE wearing festive plaids! In my opinion, there’s no such thing as too much tartan (clearly, judging by this post right? 😂) It’s just such a timeless print and there will always be a special place in my heart for all things classic Christmas.

How do you guys feel about plaid?!

I can’t believe the holiday season is HERE! I ordered my first Cranberry Bliss Bar of the season this week and enjoyed my coffee in a holiday cup! The other day I even turned on the radio to discover a station playing round the clock Christmas music already!! I guess you could say it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and it definitely is in stores! I’m so obsessed with the decor I’m seeing this holiday season, that I had to share some of my favorite finds! I’m loving all of the jewel tones, candy cane stripes and of course all the black!

Spirit Jersey’s recent holiday launch reminded me that I need to start my Christmas shopping STAT! You all know I have a spooky heart but I have to say, the new holiday collection at SJ is definitely putting me in the holiday spirit! I was so excited to see jerseys representing my all time favorite Christmas movies included in their collaboration with WB. Elf and A Christmas Story are two movies I look forward to watching on repeat every holiday season! I honestly quote them year round. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of Elf and the 40th Anniversary of A Christmas Story so jerseys representing these timeless classics couldn’t be more perfect! Believe me when I say these jerseys are even more gorgeous in person, I’m OBSESSED with the sparkle wash! Also Spirit Jersey released their new holiday line before Halloween, so you have no excuse not to be festive when the Christmas season starts November 1st 😂. I’m wearing size XS in both jerseys and they fit perfectly.

Targeted advertising totally got me last month and I’m not mad about it at all! I was able to snag this cropped cardigan from AE (before it sold out) and the matching socks. I’ve never been on the look out for spooky season releases at AE but I might have to be going forward. I shop at Aerie quite a bit because I love their athletic wear but I can’t remember the last time I bought something from AE! They definitely got me with these items though! I’m a sucker for black and white so the hearts and skulls were just a bonus. To show the cardigan’s versatility, I’m sharing both of the ways I styled it! Let me know which one you like best!

P.S. My Mom and I had the best time at Helvetia Farm and Market where these photos were taken. I told her she HAD to try their Toasted Pumpkin Cold Brew and I definitely ordered one for myself! I hope you’re all having a wonderful October. I can’t believe Halloween is next week already!
