Lookbook: Lately

It’s been CRAZY this past November and December.  I haven’t been taking
many outfit photos so I thought I’d just combine a few of my recent outfits into
one post.

 
Obsessed with this leather jacket, it’s just the perfect piece for fall (sad that it’s getting too cold to wear it now!)  

 
I love being a mom and am not ashamed to proclaim myself as a “Haute Mama”.  LOL!  I’m really loving this time of the year with my daughter
who is now 2, so this is her first Christmas where she’s able to understand a lot more of what’s going on. It’s so much fun.  She
is talking up a storm and is hilarious with all the things she says now. We asked her what she wanted for Christmas
and out of nowhere she said “Pink Christmas Tree!” We actually went
hunting for a normal size pink Christmas tree but all we could find were
small tabletop ones. I didn’t want to order online as I wanted to make
sure it wasn’t super cheap and cheesy looking so we haven’t gotten it
just yet!
JACKET TEE JEANS SHOES 
EARRINGS SUNGLASSES BAG

If you didn’t know, Target always carries amazing quality faux fur vests.  I get one there every year and love them to death.  I wear vests a lot more than I ever thought I would but they are perfect for wearing to the office when you have to be bundled up to go outside but once you are inside you don’t want to be too hot/too cold.

 

BLOUSE VEST JEANS BOOTS

So me and everyone else on the internet is obsessed with this feather top.  LOL!  My sister and I actually designed this top back in the summer hoping that everyone would be into feathers for fall and winter and they were!  We sold out of the black/red plaid version in about a week.  My latest online girl crush, Olivia Rink wore it on her instagram here.  I’m so obsessed with her and her account.  She is the sweetest too!

TOP PANTS SUNGLASSES EARRINGS
LOVE RING PAVE RING MIDI RING

Yes that is a gigantic bow on my phone case!  I <3 bows!  🙂  Have a great week lovelies!

Lookbook: Fall Romper

Sometimes, all you need is a cute romper and be out the door.  This little romper is the perfect for that and I love that it’s a great summer time romper but will be a nice transitional romper when it starts cooling down.

It was a bit chilly one day last week so thought it would be the perfect day to pair it with a cardigan.  I realize the bag doesn’t match but this is real life – I don’t always have the time to change purses when running out the door!

What I’m Wearing
WEAR US OUT ROMPER CARDIGAN SANDALS BAG
SUNGLASSES // BRACELETS // EARRINGS

I love that the romper looks like two pieces but it’s not!  I got it
from a new to me boutique, Wear Us Out Boutique.  Love supporting other small
business/e-commerce sites!  Check them out, they have so much cute
stuff.  I’m really loving this dress too!

Saint Laurent Bag Love: New Bag Reveal!

Saint Laurent has just been killing it lately with their bags.  I’ve been wanting one of their new chevron quilted bags from some time now.  I went to Nordstrom and pretty much just died for all the bags they had.  I first spotted these two new styles which stopped me in my tracks.  I mean the red and the gold is just so gorgeous.

I still like my big bags but as a mom I have to be realistic and I know that crossbody’s work better for daily use.  I did really like the smaller camera bag (that’s what the style is
called) but when I looked at it, the zipper stopped just at the top and
it was kind of hard to get your hand in so I can imagine me putting a
bunch of stuff in it and then struggling to get it out. As the sales associate was showing me the bag I spotted another bag in the case that I literally gasped for…

Yes!  A chevron quilted wallet on chain!  It’s such a beauty!  I tucked the chain in to take these photos but it comes with a pretty chain strap that you can take off to wear as a clutch, or leave it on to wear as a crossbody or over the shoulder.  Isn’t it so pretty? It’s just what I needed, I absolutely love it!

Lookbook: Playing with Textures

I always tend to get more dressed up during the fall.  I think it’s because I spend the end of the summer in shorts or easy to wear dresses and never really feel fully dressed up.  But when it starts getting cooler outside and I get to play with layers and different textures, it makes me want to put on a full outfit and just feel pretty about what I’m wearing.

What I’m Wearing
Chicwish blouse (exact)
Chicwish Skirt (exact)
Polka dot tights
Saint Laurent Pumps (exact but different color)
Prada Saffiano Tote (exact)
t+j Designs bracelets and double pearl earrings

I just love the textures of this outfit with the lace and pearls on my top and the tweed skirt which has just the right amount of flare to make it girly and fun.  Both pieces are under $40 and with the addition of the luxe bag and shoes and just the right amount of bling, I don’t think you can tell how inexpensive the outfit really is!

Final day to enter our $350 giveaway!

Lookbook: Hot Pink and Leopard

photos by Kirsten Miccoli
What I’m Wearing
Cardigan: J Crew
Jacket: (my sister’s) Zara – in love with this leopard bow coat. 
Shoes: YSL Tributes
Sunglasses: Lanvin
All jewelry: t+j Designs
I just love the photos that Kirsten shot of us while I was in Chicago and we shared some over on our new blog but wanted to share the details of my look as well.  I last wore this dress when I was 7 months pregnant at my baby shower and love that I can still wear it now.  I’ve always been a fan of drop waist dresses (my wedding dress was a drop waist!).  It helps create the look of a longer torso which is much needed for someone with a very short torso like me.  It’s funny my sister is only a few inches taller than me but she has a long torso and very long legs so she seems so much taller than me.  Darn me for getting the short genes in the family 😉

Lookbook: Pardon Moi

What I’m Wearing
ASOS Sweater – I love these sweaters with little sayings on them.  I spotted this cute “hello” sweater at Piperlime that I’m thinking about getting too.  And how cute is this cute sequined one too!  (+ take 20% off right now with code THANKYOU)
H&M tank – similar here and here
Current Elliott Jeans – I don’t see my red ones anymore but these green ones are same style and on sale.
Christian Louboutin Heels – love the new styles like these glitter pumps and spike toes!
YSL mini Cabas Chyc bag – the mini Prada tote is pretty darn cute too.
t+j Designs bracelets – take 40% off all earrings this week only! Use code EARRING40.  I’m wearing these ones (although hard to see) but we’ve got a ton of cute statement earrings for the fall.
You saw a glimpse of this outfit from yesterday’s post so wanted to share the whole look.   Can I tell you how happy I am to be able to wear heels again!  Yay!  And double yay that my feet didn’t grown after being pregnant.  I heard about the possibility of feet growing due to pregnancy and I was so scared that I’d never be able to fit into any of my shoes again.  Thank goodness it didn’t happen to me or else I’d be super sad!

Lookbook: Work Wear Bump Style

What I’m Wearing
Maxi Dress c/o TJ Maxx – I actually found the exact same dress by LC Lauren Conrad (and it’s on sale) but mine is a different brand.  I adore this dress and has been a go to during my pregnancy.  Also love this chevron stripe maxi dress and this one is similar and under $30!
Juicy Couture Cardigan – I just love long cardigans and I’m always on the lookout for long ones.  Love this hot pink one that’s on sale!
Prada Bow Flats – I think those are this year’s version as I got mine awhile back but these are one of my favorite flats.  So comfy and love the big bow!  These are a bit more classic looking and I’m loving blue for the fall.
t+j Designs Necklace and Bracelet – new arrivals today!  Check out all of our new pretties!
 YSL mini Chyc – Here is the larger and newer version of my bag.  The mini is a bit harder to find so if you have your eye on the bag, nab it when you see it or else I’m sure it will be gone!  I actually have this little mini crossbody on the top of my wishlist!
Chloe Sunglasses – I actually see my style on a lot of the flash sale sites like Gilt, Ideeli or Hautelook.  I actually bought my second pair of these on Gilt, that’s how much I love them!

 

Today
is my last and final collaboration with my favorite bumpin’ bloggers!  I
got to show a work wear bump which I know is not the most standard
since I either work from home or go to my very casual office (where I’m
the boss and don’t care what people wear!) so I chose something that I
thought most people could get away with at work.  I know that dressing
with a bump is hard because you just want to be comfy most days so a
maxi is definitely the way to go when you want to look nice but stay
comfy.  I paired it with my favorite flats and a new favorite statement
necklace!

 
make sure to check out their looks over on their blogs!
