Lace Up Flats

One trend I have been loving lately is lace up flats. I love how versatile they can be, easily transition from work to running errands. I have two pairs that I literally wear ALL of the time, but I wouldn't mind adding a new pair to my closet! I've rounded up a few of my favorites, from a fun printed pair to wear-everywhere neutrals, just click the scrolling pictures underneath the collage to shop!

 Merry Christmas Eve!

I can't believe it's already here! This year has really flown by! I decided to take some time off from blogging this week to focus on catching up on some things and spending time with family. I know you guys understand how hectic things can get and sometimes you just need to take a step back to refresh and recharge! I'm heading out of town next week and have a few posts pre-scheduled, but will hopefully be back to my regular blogging schedule the first full week of January! 

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas spent with the ones you love! 

This weeks look of the week from last weeks linkup is Kacie of Regally Soled! Kacie's red plaid scarf and green dress are such a perfect holiday combo! I love that she added a leather jacket and OTK boots to make this outfit so cute and cool!

Instagram Roundup

Happy Monday! The official countdown to Christmas has begun! Has anybody else still not finished their Christmas shopping?? I have just a few last minute gifts to pick up and I am hoping to get it done today! 

Today, I am rounding up some of my favorite instagram looks! I've been a little MIA on the blog and Instagram lately, but hope to focus more now that I am on winter break...and continue on in to the new year! 

 A favorite holiday combo...red+plaid!

Sweater: Julie Brown Designs, also love this  // Scarf: ASOS (sold out), similar here and here // 

Pants: DSTLD // Shoes: Steve Madden // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Bracelets: Taudrey // 

 I love this sweater so much, I bought it in two colors! Such a cozy, easy to wear piece! It does run large! 

Sweater: Nordstrom // Pants: DSTLD (the perfect light grey)  // Boots: Franco Sarto (on super sale) // Bag: Tory Burch // 

 My casual Thanksgiving attire! This sweater is my FAVORITE. It comes in quite a few colors and is currently on sale!

Sweater: Nordstrom (on sale!) // Jacket: Nordstrom // Jeans: Old, similar here // Boots: Franco Sarto // Bag: Tory Burch // Necklaces: Bauble Bar Y-Chain, Taudrey 'Autograph Plate'  // 

 I shared this outfit on the blog last week, and it's definitely already been repeated a few times since then! This leopard sweater is under $15! 

Sweater: Target, also love this one // Pants: DSTLD // Shoes: Steve Madden, similar here and look for less option here // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (on sale!) // 

 A cozy coat and scarf combo! I love this bright yellow coat because the cheery yellow definitely brightens a drab winter day! 

Jacket: SheIn // Scarf: Old, similar here 

 Just a few of my favorite things! 

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Necklace: Taudrey // Clutch: Clare V. , get the look for less here //

 Cup: Starbucks // Rug: Target // 

Another peek at my Taudrey necklace! I was so excited to team up with Taudrey to design this piece! It's perfect for every day wear! Also, these boots are the PERFECT knockoff of a much pricer brand. I wanted to test out a pair of OTK boots before splurging on a pair, and these have made me realize how much I adore this trend. I think OTK boots are here to stay! Also, anybody else loving turtlenecks lately? This turtleneck top is currently sold out, but I am loving all of the great turtleneck options here! 

Leopard Sweater

 Sweater: Target, similar here // Pants: DSTLD // Shoes: Steve Madden // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Sunnies: Ray-Ban // 

 Happy Thursday!!

I took a mini hiatus from blogging this week to catch up on life. The end of a trimester for a teacher is just as chaotic as finals for a college student. I finally finished report cards and am so happy there are just two school days left! Both my kids and I are ready for a well deserved holiday vacation! 

I picked up this sweater a few weeks ago, completely drawn to the fun print! It's such an easy to style piece, and I paired it with a simple pair of black skinnies to really make it pop! 

I am absolutely obsessed over this cute bag! There is something so fun and festive about a pop of red over the holiday season, and a little red bag is the perfect way to go about it! Shop some of the cutest red bags here. 

Get the Look

 This weeks blogger of the week from last weeks link-up is Shauna of Lipgloss and Lace. I am loving Shauna's chic all black look paired with her fun sand colored jacket. The sleeves on this jacket really make it a versatile piece and I am looking forward to seeing more ways to style it!!
