Holiday Gift Styles: Sequin Cardigans!

Posted on by

Now that it’s an acceptable 2 whole days after Halloween, the retail world is in full-fledged holiday mode, which kind of seems to be rushing things, but at the same time, I’m really excited for all the sparkle that’s about to hit the web, my cart, & ultimately, my wardrobe. I’m giving myself permission to be extra glittery so as to celebrate this fashionable time of the year, Case in point:

SHOP: button-front sequin cardigan in coco red & black @New York & Company (on sale: $41.96, available in sizes XS-XXL).

Not only is a versatile cardigan like this perfect to wear to holiday parties, but it also makes for a playful & festive topper with a plaid button down, skinny jeans, & riding boots, but will also work with a flowy blouse & leggings. Not to mention that the red option can be used around Valentine’s Day or over a little black dress for a special occasion look & the black with the multicolor sequins can highlight a red, pink, green, or aqua sheath dress. My only wishes are that there were more color options, as in an all-pink, purple, green, or charcoal cardigan, & more sizes availability for petites & plus size shoppers, especially since some items from New York & Company tend to run small.

How would you style this cardigan? Do you prefer one color over the other? Where would you wear a cardigan like this?

11/03/2022 Darling of the Day: Sienna Miller is Casual Chic with White Accessories!

Posted on by

With the fall season upon us, that doesn’t mean we have to be all about pumpkins & dark tones all the time. Actress & style icon Sienna Miller knows this too as she was spotted recently strolling the streets of New York City in a bubblegum pink Everlane sweater (shop here) paired with gray cargo pants, white pointy toe heels (maybe, boots?), & a white crossbody bag. The laidback mix is minimal, yet fashion forward & cozy for a stroll to boot!

Looking ever-so-effortless & cool, Sienna plays with soft tones against the bright white of accessories, along with delicate gold finishing touches with her sunglasses, necklace, & hoop earrings. To get this look, you don’t have to break the bank, especially with these affordable look-alike pieces:

SHOP: batwing-sleeve turtleneck tunic sweater in dusty rose @New York & Company (on sale: $25.00, available in sizes XS-XXL & 9 colors), ASOS DESIGN oversized cargo pants in gray @ASOS ($43.00, limited availability in sizes 0-14), & plus woven pocket detail wide leg cargo pants in gray @Boohoo (on sale: $26.00, limited availability in sizes 12-24).

Accessories Access: Bold Textured Earrings Just in Time for the Holidays!

Posted on by

The easiest way to dress up any look—for a date, special occasion, holiday, party, or girls’ night out—is with a bold earring. Of course, bling goes a long way, but a major trend this season includes a bold textured earring. By bold, I mean oversized, recalling back to 80s inspiration!

SHOP: gold-tone textured oval drop earrings in gold @New York & Company (on sale: $13.96).

SHOP: silver-tone textured square drop earrings in silver @New York & Company (on sale: $13.96).

I’m really loving both of these, but if I had to pick, I might go with the silver square since I know I already have so many gold oval drop earrings. I love the idea of this texture paired with a bright royal blue sweater dress or black jumpsuit. Which earrings do you like better? Do you often wear bold earrings? Are you drawn to the textured look on accessories?

SHOP NOW: A Flyaway Blazer Cardigan in 20 Colors!

Posted on by

When I look at topper items, like cardigans & blazers, I often expect to wear it for more than just the fall/winter season, always hoping to get the most bang for my buck. Of course, there are some exceptions for summer items or really heavy knits that work for those especially chilly days. When I want to mix things up, look professional, & cover up a bit, I like a “flyaway” cardigan or blazer to complete my look & highlight a not-so-obvious color in a printed top or dress. For example:


SHOP: EIMIN 3/4 sleeve blazer open front office work cardigan jacket in 20 different colors @Amazon ($22.99-$26.99, available in sizes XS-3XL).

I ordered the black & white options as neutral toppers for a variety of looks, very please with the lightweight, textured fabric, & fit. How would style this cardigan/blazer?

SHOP NOW!: An Any Season Textured & Knit Sweater!

Posted on by

I’m a little sweater obsessed this time of year, though I wish it was consistently cool enough to wear one—at least here on Long Island. As I seek out different color combinations, sleeve lengths, & textures, I always have versatility on my mind, especially if a piece can be worn during the fall-to-winter transition & shift then to spring.

SHOP: Time & Tru textured knit pullover sweater with short sleeves in blue sea combo, mocha splash combo, & peach glaze combo @Walmart ($20.98, available is sizes XS-XXXL).

I love the sleeves on this top, which can be worn over a long sleeve turtleneck & with dark denim jeans or even with a pencil skirt & ankle boots. The top offers more possibilities when layered with a button down or matched up with leggings.

I hit up Old Navy last season BIG TIME for their velvet leggings, which will surely be a well-calculated investment on my part for this season, especially on cooler days & when I’m all about the leggings. In fact, a stylish look shouldn’t be uncomfortable or restricting, which is why I love how leggings have evolved & become more & more elevated in different materials. My go-to come winter time, no matter what my size is, is a tunic sweater & leggings… & why not velour leggings too? Also, I love Old Navy’s inclusivity (online, at least) in size availability for basics, such as velour leggings.

SHOP: high-waisted velour ankle leggings in black jack, raisin Arizona, & in the navy @Old Navy (on sale: $20.00 + 30% off with code: HURRY, available in sizes XS-4X).

SHOP NOW!: A Lacy Sweatshirt for Under $18!

Most of my loungewear pieces are fuss-free. I don’t want to zip, tie, cinch, or button anything on me, so the details are pretty minimal; however, when it comes to adding a feminine embellishment to a top or sweater for cooler days, I’m on board! Of course, the whole point of a sweatshirt is to be cozy & covered up, but the trend of adding ruffles & lace or panels to a sweatshirt makes my heart happy & creates opportunity for a fashionable work from home look too.

SHOP: Time & Tru lace sleeve sweatshirt in black soot & papyrus beige @Walmart ($17.98, available in sizes XS-3XL).

While there’s a wide size range, I’d love to see this top in rich, jewel tones, such as hunter or violet, or bright colors, like red, magenta, & aqua. I’ve ordered it in black, hoping to pair it with velvet leggings & a statement necklace for a stylish luncheon with my gal pals or a casual Friday at work. However, you can never really go wrong with Time & Tru’s selection!

As the weather gets cooler & the layers start layering, I love a velvety texture to add a luxurious, fancier vibe to my look, whether it’s for the office / classroom, a weekend event, or night out with the girls if my husband. Last year, I was all about the velvet pants & leggings & now I’ve got my sights set on a velvet tops! For example:


SHOP: velvet puff sleeve top in black, bold Bordeaux, & deep spruce green @LOFT (final sale: $29.88 + extra 40% off for StyleREWARDS, limited availability in sizes XXS-XXL).

After I added each of these to my cart, I was floored to see their final price was $17.93! I can’t wait to pair these with a lace pencil or pleated midi skirt & a cardigan for work, jacquard or plaid pants a holiday party, dark denim jeans for a family gathering, or dressy palazzo pants for a special occasion. Not to mention that the jewel tones hues would really enrich an antique gold statement necklace with lots of bling or a more delicate pewter pendant too.

I’ve had my eye on different plaid pieces this season, loving any & everything with a green base—it is my favorite color! Plaid is fun for pumpkin picking, family gatherings, & can even styled for the work environment. Case in point:

SHOP: Black Watch plaid pull-on skirt in blue green @J. Crew Factory (on sale: $29.50 with code: SHOPNEW, available in sizes XXS-3X & in petite XS-L).

This can styled with a great many options, including a turtleneck or button down with a statement necklace, a pullover sweater or v-neck blouse & drop earrings, a graphic tee with ankle boots & a denim jacket, or a belted tunic & knee boots. the plaid will pop against emerald green, navy, royal, or even mustard separates, especially if you want to get bold with your interpretation of it.

SHOP NOW!: A 4-Piece Set with Endless Possibilities!

This summer, one of the most popular trends was a matching top & shorts or top & pants set, which has seeped into fall fashion with most layering & styling options. As we’re bundling up & getting cozy, the line between workwear & loungewear is blurring, especially if you’re lucky enough to work from home. New York & Company is on board with this trend with their ribbed pieces in charcoal heather grey, lake blue, ravishing red, & tortoise, in 4 different pieces that can be worn as a whole monochromatic outfit, swapping out the tank for the pullover, or combined with other printed or neutral pieces.

SHOP: ribbed-trim knit duster (on sale: $20.00, available in sizes XS-XXL), ribbed knit tank top (on sale: $15.00, available in sizes XS-XXL), & ribbed-trim jogger pant (on sale: $18.00, available in sizes XS-XXL) @New York & Company.

SHOP: ribbed-trim surplus knit top (on sale: $18.00, available in sizes XS-XXL) @New York & Company.

Imagine the top with a lace cami & windowpane trousers or wide leg dark wash jeans. Also, the tank & duster with a pencil skirt or faux leather leggings. Lastly, the joggers & duster would work with a half-tucked button down shirt. Try any of these options with ballet flats, ankle boots, stilettos, or tennis shoes for an on-trend day of athleisure style!

I’m starting to feel that chill in the air & I’m getting major cozy style vibes from it. When I have down time or work from home days, I’m all about comfy tops with leggings, but I do love the possibilities of dressing up casual pieces when needed.

SHOP: Time & Tru cowl neck waffle tunic in black soot, light grey heather, teal star, brilliant red, green chili, & dark raspberry @Walmart ($14.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

I love the idea of styling this for a sporty or outdoors occasion with a puffer vest & cargo joggers or a long necklace & printed leggings with riding boots. This could even work with a midi skirt & ankle boots or skinny jeans & studded heels.

As the seasons change & our wardrobes evolve, our accessories follow suit. However, when coordinating an outfit in deep, rich jewel tones or playing with a classic, minimalist look, sometimes a bold statement earring makes all the difference. As I’ve been working from home most Fridays this semester, I’ve leaned back into my loungewear, appropriate for Zoom calls, relying on my earrings & accessories to amplify my ensemble. Of course, earrings are such a fun & playful way to express your style & personality for any occasion.

Currently, Francesca’s has select earrings on sale for $8! I love Francesca’s accessories for their whimsy & sophistication, although their clothing size range & variety could be more inclusive. However, check out the following dazzling danglers to get inspired to refresh your earring selection:

What do you get when you pair a stiletto with leopard print & a bow?

These:

SHOP: Demi heel in leopard print @New York & Company (on sale: $44.97).

Love. Pure love. The purest of shoe loves!

I can’t wait for these to go down in price a little bit more before adding them to my well-stocked & already leopard-spotted cart. I love leopard all year long, & the bow detail on these just cries out for a little black dress, cream sweater with a burgundy pencil skirt, or magenta blouse & straight leg trousers!

All year long, I keep my short sleeve & sleeveless tops & camis handy so that I can break them out when needed. These instances may be to pair with a heavy, printed, or embellished cardigan,, along with trousers, a pencil skirt, a midi skirt, or skinny jeans. A cami doesn’t have to be boring, though a classic white cotton one is a staple investment for sweater season. However, a cami with shine? Oh yes!

SHOP: A New Day v-neck cami in black or copper @Target ($20.00, available in sizes XS-4XL).

I love the possibilities of this for fall looks, coordinating the black sequin top with burgundy velvet pants & a mustard cardigan, as well as the copper with some leopard print & gold accessories. Both options are also prime for the upcoming holiday season too!

How would you style these camis? Would you try a cami with sparkle or do you prefer something simple? What are your favorite work-to-holiday transitional items?

Each fall, I’m more & more impressed by the affordable & stylish items from Time & Tru @Walmart, especially as each season, they reinvent staple must-haves that prove to be best sellers. This includes a cozy non-sweater top that looks like a sweater.

SHOP: Time & Tru hacci top in teal star, black soot, dark raspberry, green chili / black, winter white, leopard, moonbeam, or papyrus beige @Walmart ($10, available in sizes S-XXXL).

I became a fan of this top during the height of the pandemic, desiring something fashionable enough for a statement necklace during a Zoom meeting, but realistic to wear with leggings when the virtual work day ended. In both real life & through a screen, these tops are sweater-like, but can be paired with trousers & ankle boots or pointe pants & ballet flats, aside from the comfortable leggings or lounge pants for days off with the family.

I’ve added most of these to my cart & can’t wait to assess these latest patterns, always excited to add more leopard & polka dots to my fall wardrobe arsenal. How would you style these tops? Which pattern is your favorite? Would you buy them all for the season?

Accessories Access: The Blingiest Chain Link Bracelet for Any Occasion!

Posted on by

I’ve been spotting the chain link trend all over, which took a while for me to warm up to, but now, I’m all about it! I can’t wear chain link on chain link, but I like the subtle nod to edgy street style, mixed with luxury in bright gold & silver tones & jeweled embellishments.


SHOP: gemstone chain bracelet in gold & silver @Ardene ($8.90–Buy One, Get One 50% Off).

I’ve purchased both metals & love to wear them for work, a lunch with girl friends, or on date night, depending on the metal I’m most dominantly wearing with my outfit. The bracelets are a good, heavy weight, feeling like they won’t break if knocked into a desk, for example. The gemstones are very sparkly & add just enough shine for any look. See how they look with my recent outfits:

SHOP NOW!: Fuzzy Slippers + 40% Off!

There are some accessories or around-the-house pieces I was always rely on until I just can’t wear them anymore. That definitely applies to slippers. In our high ranch house, since we live most of the time upstairs, I keep a pair in the bedroom for early, chilly mornings & when getting ready for bed. Likewise, I have another pair in my cloffice downstairs for work-from-home days & playing with my daughter in our family room. This is convenient, so that no matter where I am, I have slippers to stay cozy.

However, now that Target has a major 40% off deal happening right now on slippers, I might just have to freshen up my options, especially for post-shower primping when I don’t necessarily want my feet to be all covered up.

SHOP: Stars Above Annika single band fur slide slipper in tan, purple, & blush @Target (on sale: $10.80, available in sizes S-XL).

I love the purple the most, which is a stark contrast to the grey & ivory styles I typically flock to. What do you think of these slippers? Did you like fuzzy, furry styles in pastel colors?

I don’t wear much in the way of literal festive jewelry, save some snowflake, gift bow, or bunny earrings, but in recent years, I’ve been including my four-year-old in my style journey. I love her input on accessories & appealing to her festive interests for any season or holiday. This fall & Halloween, while I haven’t yet invested in any spooky sparkles, I have my eye on the gorgeously glittery pieces from SUGARFIX by BaubleBar @Target:

SHOP: SUGARFIX by BaubleBar Squash the Competition Statement Halloween Earrings ($12.99), Corny Confections Statement Halloween Earrings ($12.99), Bone to be Wild Statement Halloween Earrings ($12.99), & Ghostess with the Mostess Statement Halloween Earrings ($12.99) @Target.

As fall rolls in, we’re not only getting obsessed with layers, but also textures, especially in footwear! Specifically, velvet is a great fabric for virtually any article of clothing or accessory, but on a shoe, an outfit becomes elevated with a more luxe sophistication & festive fashionability. Last fall, I went crazy buying up all the velvet leggings I could in every rich, jewel tone hue & now I’ve got my eye on velvet flats.

SHOP: velvet bow tie ballet flat shoe in blackjack, dark bottle, & raisin Arizona @Old Navy (on sale: $26.99, available in sizes 6-11).

These will be a perfect work staple to contrast a neutral-heavy look in earth tones & dark denim, but also with other luxurious patterns of the season, such as plaid, floral, abstracts, & brocade! my only wishes are for availability in wide width, a pointy toe as opposed to an almond toe, & other colors, such as navy or purple.

Now that fall is here & in full swing, it’s time to start thinking about layering pieces for work & weekend! My go-to layering topper for all season is a cardigan. Of course, I love patterns & jeweled embellishments on cardigans, but a solid in any color sparks joy when paired with a printed top & neutral pants, a basic shirt & printed bottoms, or a bold colorblock dress. Whether you’re shopping for fall must-haves or a staple set of cardigans for all year long, Amazon has just the pick for you:

SHOP: LALABEE open front pockets knit long sleeve sweater cardigan in 35 different colors @Amazon ($25.99-$31.99, available in sizes XS-3XL).

Throughout the pandemic, I’ve not only reevaluated my wardrobe needs, but also embraced the possibilities of loungewear. Now, I appreciate matching separates for not only their colors & textures, but also for the ease of the preassembled outfit for cozy indoor days. Even though my collection of about 6 2-piece matching pjs are more than enough, I still have my eye out for newer styles, especially in the hopes of wearing them on chilly rainy fall days ahead!

SHOP: Stars Above cozy fleece lounge swearshirt in berry red, green, almond, & charcoal grey @Target ($20.00, available in sizes XS-XXL) & Stars Above cozy fleece lounge jogger pants in berry red, green, almond, & charcoal gray @Target ($20.00, available in sizes XS-XXL).

I’m loving these cooler days & chillier nights so that I can rediscover my cozier clothes, like reconnecting with old friends. I will miss the stylish ease of my maxi dresses, but fall can’t be denied. When it comes to dressing casually, but fashionably, I love a solid piece that can be coordinated with variety of separates for multiple occasions.

SHOP: bateau-neck banded top in wild berries, black, arctic blue, gentle mauve, & paper white @New York & Company (on sale: $16.00, available in sizes XS-XXL). This is a perfect match with printed leggings & a scarf, dark denim jeans & knee boots with a puffer vest, a sequin pencil skirt & drop earrings, or velvet pants & ballet flats with a statement necklace.

Truth be told, I bought all of the colors (except for the gentle mauve) with a birthday reward from New York & Company & I couldn’t happier with the decision. Though the poly-blend material needs a good steam before wearing right out of the package, this top is not only a staple for a casual Friday, but a mainstay in my weekly rotation with printed pants! My only wish is that there were other colors to choose from, like teal, olive, red, purple, or gray.

How would you style this top? Do you bateau necklines? What about waist-banding on a hem? For more stylish posts, check out: a fall-ready sweater from LOFT, fashion flashbacks with Naomi Watts & Gwyneth Paltrow, & the season 3 trailer for Emily in Paris! Happy Styling!
