I love this dress – it’s so easy to dress up or down and its made of a really soft, light flannel. I have worn it numerous ways, but two of my favorite ways are above! It’s currently on sale and available in all sizes so get it while its hott!

Winter White Culottes + A Red Lip

top: ASOS bodysuit // pants: 1. state white culottes (also in a soft pink & black here) // shoes: christian louboutin pigalle follies 100 mm in black suede (cheaper version here)// fur stole: old (super similar here) // lipstick: chanel rouge in 104 (best lipstick ever!) // bag: sole society perforated silver clutch

There is something about culottes that I just love — and these white ones just feel so refreshing! I wanted to pair them with something simple yet festive, so the faux fur stole (originally from Forever 21!) and red lip did the trick perfectly I think. The material of these culottes almost feel silky and are so comfortable. I think I may have to go back and get another color! I have also been living in this ASOS bodysuit (under $35!) It’s an incredibly soft jersey material and super great for layering on colder days.

Happy hump day!

New year, new you #amiright? I started working out 6 or so weeks ago and I haven’t looked back since. As I move into the New Year, and continue my ‘fitness journey’ I plan on taking you along as it evolves, so I wanted to round up a few of my new favorites fitness related items for you guys! 

I’m absolutely in love with the Nike tech jacket – it is one of my favorite workout clothing items that I own. It’s great for keeping you warm, but also looks cool when you wear it to run errands or hang around the house. I get to wear workout clothes to work – so I feel like this jacket looks laid back yet still elegant (is it possible for work out clothes to look elegant? #goodquestion) Anyway, the same goes for #8 – the grey/white color combo on these sneakers are so dang sleek. I honestly think they’d look just as good in the gym as they would with a pair of black skinny jeans. And then #7 is a no brainier. The fitbit is fun and functional – Helps you track your progress, but I also use it to keep me motivated as I compete in steps with my family members! 

My Favorite Sweater

sweater: banana republic turtleneck pullover (on major sale!) //  jeans: dl1961 florence // boots: DV by dolce vita (old, similar here & here)

ok i know y’all know I love this sweater (seen here & here in grey) – it’s chunky & cozy while still feeling light. The cowl neck is nice in that it doesn’t feel too tight around the neck, and the knit is super soft (& not itchy at all). It also comes in 12 (!!!) colors and is 50% off — need I say more?
