The Stylish Five: Valentine’s Tops for Any Lovely Occasion!

Posted on by

I’ll always wear hearts & spread the message of love, no matter what time of year it is. Currently, I’m swooning over all of the love-themed duds for Valentine’s Day that add joy, humor, & charm to any look. Here are 5 tops that would be perfect for multiple occasions, but definitely deserve some Valentine’s styling too:

SHOP: heart-print bow-neck blouse @New York & Company (on sale: $20.98, available in sizes S-XXL).

SHOP: heart-print tunic sweater @New York & Company (on sale: $17.98, limited availability in sizes L & XXL).

SHOP: chic sequin heart tee @New York & Company (on sale: $11.98, available in sizes XS-XXL).

SHOP: love always graphic tee @New York & Company (on sale: $15.00, available in sizes XS-XXL).

Once the sun comes out & the all that cold goes away, it’s time to break out some mules! The slide trend isn’t going away as we’re setting our feet free for another season of casual cool style.

SHOP: Time & Tru Rafia mules in black & white, blush, & neutral @Walmart ($17.98, available in sizes 6-11).

I love the simplicity & of these with the braided, textured top. Additionally, they are versatile to wear for work, a weekend brunch with friends, a floral jumpsuit for a day date, or when running errands. My favorite is the black & white pair since it’s a polished contrast to other prints I may wear!

Accessories Access: Spring-tastic Multicolor Fashion Jewelry from LOFT!

If there’s one retailer that’s been catching my eye when it comes to jewelry & accessories this past winter season, it’s LOFT. Now that the winter statement pieces are on deep discount, the deals just keep getting better & better! Also, as we slowly move away from the dark, rich hues of winter layers & sweaters, it’s time to start embracing (or, at least, planning for) pastels for spring separates. I have just the jewelry deal for pretty pinks, sweet greens, lovely lavenders, & sparkling peaches for you!

SHOP: gem statement necklace @LOFT (on sale: $9.00).

SHOP: gem statement earrings @LOFT (on sale: $9.00).

SHOP: gem huggie earrings @LOFT (on sale: $10.00).

SHOP: gem drop earrings @LOFT (on sale: $7.50).

I already nabbed the necklace for a great discounted price, but the matching earrings are definitely worth considering. I wouldn’t necessarily match the necklace with the earrings since I love to mix up matchy-matchy pieces with other items in my jewelry collection, but the colors bring a smile to my face & the sparkles are just… EVERYTHING!

Show Me the Shoes: Because Everyone Needs Purple Suede Booties, Right?

Posted on by

For me, 2023 is all about being a little extra. I love a statement piece, especially jewelry, but a fierce pair of heels or booties can totally transform an outfit. While I do love a classic black, gray, or camel boot as a neutral for a variety of looks, let’s talk about these:

SHOP: Making a Statement booties in purple @Versona (on sale: $29.99, available in sizes 6-10).

I love the bright purple hue, as well as the thick heel & scrunched look at the ankle. I can imagine these dressing up a tunic sweater & leggings, as well as a button-down & skinny jeans. However, they will also work with a sweater dress & hoop earrings, along with a jumpsuit & blazer combination. While the heels are not available in wide width, they are currently marked down from their original $44.99 price tag, which makes them much more tempting to order. We’ll see…

THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED! The tassel earring trend isn’t going away as we move between seasons, & why should it? The pop of color & contrast of fabric for a fun date night look, when heading to a party, or adding some flair on a casual Friday at work. As tassel earrings styles come & go, we’ve gotta grab an amazing deal when we see one!

SHOP: Eden tiered tassel drop earring @Francesca’s (on sale: $5.98).

I can’t believe I’m posting about shorts when it’s still so chilly here on Long Island, but spring break is in reach & I’m daydreaming about warmer days. However, a matching linen set is a stylish, fresh staple for any wardrobe, especially as sets are so on trend right now! Not to mention, I love mixing up colors & patterns for an array of possibilities.

SHOP: Universal Thread long sleeve relaxed fit collar button-down shirt in 7 colors ($25.00, available in sizes XS-4X) & Universal Thread mid-rise linen pull-on shorts in 8 colors ($20.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

I’m drawn to the green striped set, but thinking I’d get more use for switching up pieces with the navy stripes. Also, I’m waiting for a fabulous sale, which Target often has, to snatch up at least one set for my next vacation. Plus, the pink & olive sets are all over Instagram, so I’m not the only one on board with these looks!

My go-to uniform for any work or special occasion day includes a blouse & cardigan. The duo works for my aesthetic when mixing prints & solids with luxe fashion jewelry & accessories. Even though spring is right around the corner, I’m soaking up these chilly must-wear-velvet months as much as I possibly can, loving all of the end-of-the-season deals, especially this top:

SHOP: velvet double-v shell in black, silver grey, & deepest fig berry @LOFT (final sale: $39.88, extra 70% off with code: FRESH, available in sizes XS-XXL).

I bought the silver gray, which I haven’t worn yet, but I’m imagining it paired with a jeweled cardigan & houndstooth trousers, a blazer & dark denim jeans, or a flyaway cardigan & midi skirt with a textured belt. I also have my eye on the black & berry hues to add to my holiday rotation next year!

SHOP NOW!: Time & Tru Eyelet Dress + Earring Combinations!

Posted on by

As spring is just around the corner–hopefully–spring is definitely hitting stores & I can’t wait for lighter layers, bright hues, & dangly earrings, which is pretty much my warm weather wardrobe! The must-have staple for spring is an eyelet dress, which can be dressed up down, depending on where you’re headed. One classic cut dress with a flattering scallop detail at the sleeves & hem can be found by Time & Tru at Walmart:

SHOP: Time & Tru short sleeve eyelet dress in black soot, emerald bliss, vivid white, & lunar yellow @Walmart ($23.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

Aren’t these colors gorgeous?! Of course, I do wish for a magenta or bright purple too, but I’m pleased that this selection is offered in such a wide range of sizes as it is flattering, feminine, & stylish for every body type. I’d love to add a belt, denim jacket, & wedges before heading out the door for a sunny day in the village, joining the family for some festivities, or to work with a cardigan!

Also, with great dresses comes great accessories from Time & Tru:

SHOP: Time & Tru silver leaf filigree earrings, mixed metal hammered teardrop earrings, textured leaf drop earrings, & gold leaf drop earring @Walmart ($3.88 each).

Here’s how I would pair them up! What do you think?

Show Me the Shoes: 50% Off Must-Have Pumps!

Posted on by

I love a sleek stiletto pump! I love a pump with unique detail that offers more interest & luxury to any outfit. I love a pump in an unexpected color. I love a point toe. However, I haven’t been wearing pumps much since early in the pandemic, even though I have purchased my fair over the last year. Speaking of pumps…

SHOP: Express X Simon Spurr pumps in pitch black, stone, & electric blue @Express (on sale: $44.00, available in sizes 5-10).

I’m crazy about this electric blue, though I wish it was also made in the same croc embossed texture as the black & white options. Additionally, a wide width alternative would be helpful, as well as other neutral colors, like tan, gray, & navy to wear with a sheath dress & blazer outfit, bow-neck blouse & pencil skirt look, & jogger jumpsuit ensemble.

Which color do you like the best? Do you love to strut in stiletto pumps like these? How often do you wear embossed footwear? For more stylish posts, check out: pajama sets for under $19, final sale on sequin star cardigans from LOFT, & Time & Tru pastel sweaters! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: Short-Sleeve Pajama Sets for Under $19!

Posted on by

It’s a slow, gray winter here on Long Island, but there have been plenty of cozy days & dreams of warmer weather. As I’ve had some down time to organize dressers, closets, & cabinets, I’ve been preparing for those warmer weather days, assessing wardrobe staples that I have & want to keep, what to donate, & what to get. Perhaps adulthood has instilled a much more regimented preparation of sleepwear, or that I’m so impressed by the ease my toddler daughter’s matching pajama sets, but I love to wear a set & have struggled to find a lightweight short-sleeve & cropped pant set to my liking…until now!

SHOP: Joyspun jewel neck flutter sleeve pajama set in 8 colors / patterns @Walmart ($18.98, available in sizes S-3XL).

I was immediately drawn to the leopard print & black with kisses sets, which are already stored for warmer months. Of course, there are so many pajama styles, including button-down tops or drawstring shorts, but I’ve always been looking for something soft without any buttons & something that colors my legs while sleeping. I’m really excited to break these out on a summer vacation or when hanging around the house for a lazy Saturday morning having pancakes with the family & cuddling up for cartoons. The material is very lightweight & I’m so pleased with the size inclusivity for the variety of colors & patterns. Joyspun has done it again!

Which set do you like the best? What’s your ideal pajama style? Do you often wear sets? For more stylish posts, check out: sequin sweaters & velvet leggings, pastel sweaters for under $18, & braided mules from Target in 12 colors! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: Cable Knit Sweaters for Under $15!

Posted on by

This sweater season has been one for the books! I love styling a cozy pullover sweater for a movie date night, a day at work, or for weekend errands! A cable knit detail is classic, but a modern take on cable knit is much more fun & stylish. In fact, my look for today, thanks in part to Instagram & Facebook votes, features a new cable knit sweater with past season windowpane pants & tweed buckle flats (see post here).

SHOP: Time & Tru mixed stitch sweater in apple juice, brilliant red, medium grey heather, winter white, & green chili @Walmart (on sale: $14.98, limited availability in sizes XS-2XL).

Here’s how I styled mine:

The texture of these sweaters coordinates well with a variety of textures for bottoms, including houndstooth, Buffalo plaid, polka dots, pinstripes, lace, jacquard, faux leather, or denim. How would you style these sweaters? Which color is your favorite? Where are you shopping for the best deals? For more stylish posts, check out: sequin star cardigans & faux leather leggings at LOFT, pastel pullovers for under $18, & staple denim jackets in 4 washes! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: LOFT’s Final Sale on Sequin Star Cardigans & Faux Leather Leggings!

Posted on by

Even though the holidays are over & everything is all hearts now for Valentine’s Day, I’m a sucker for sparkle & even stars on sweaters. Also, plenty of stores are bursting with spring-ready items, which means that there’s still prime time to get a great deal on final sale pieces, especially neutral cardigans that will jazz up any look.

SHOP: star sequin v-neck sweater in beige melange & charcoal @LOFT (on sale: $59.88, extra 60% off with code: LOVE, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL). After the code, they come out to under $24!

I have both of these & can’t wait to pair them with my printed trousers, in windowpane or houndstooth, along with brighter contrasting pieces in red, purple, or magenta. Since cardigans—especially sparkly ones—are my ultimate style weakness, I can’t wait to wear these over & over again, maybe even on date night with a metallic shell & faux leather leggings, like these:

SHOP: faux leather leggings in black & olive @LOFT (on sale: $59.99, extra 60% off with code: LOVE, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL). After the code, they come out to $24 before sales tax!

How would you style the cardigans? How often do you wear sequins? Which colors are you loving? For more stylish posts, check out: pastel Time & Tru sweaters for under $18, braided slide mules from Target, & the spring dress you’ll want in every color! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: Pastel Sweaters for Under $18!

It’s still sweater season & when retailers start rolling out styles in spring colors, it’s time to click add-to-cart! The latest from Time & Tru that I can’t stop thinking about have got me inspired to pair with relaxed light denim jeans & sneakers for a weekend of errands, beige trousers & ballet flats for a day at work, a pleated midi skirt & high heels for a special occasion, or leggings & slippers for a cozy day around the house.

SHOP: Time & Tru long sleeve lightweight fashion sweater in lilac sky cheetah, pink coral cheetah, blue ash stripe, & faded rose stripe @Walmart (on sale: $16.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

SHOP: Time & Tru patchwork sweater in blue ash, orchid dream, peach margarita, & winter white @Walmart ($17.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

SHOP: Time & Tru elbow sleeve polo sweater in lilac bud, almond, mauve glow, & black soot @Walmart ($16.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

Show Me the Shoes: Braided Mules for Spring in 12 Colors!

Posted on by

The 2020s have seen a major shift in style, especially concerning footwear as 90s & early 2000s trends are slowly creeping back. While a stiletto heel is classic, block heels have returned & we’ll be seeing them in the spring. Additionally, open slides with braiding details will be trendy once again, & why shouldn’t they be? The mule style is easy to slide on & when it comes in multiple colors, the stylish possibilities are endless.

SHOP: A New Day Basil mule heels in 12 colors @Target ($19.24-$34.99, available in sizes 5-12 in medium & wide width).

Personally, I’m a big fan of the neutral/white mix, as well as both metallic gold & silver options. I envision them with a maxi dress, drop earrings, & floral wristlet for a summer date night or family party.

Additionally, nearly every major shoe retailer has some version of these mules, as well as ankle booties & flats, for the various seasons, mostly because the braiding detail is timeless & offers a cushion around the foot. Which color do you like best? Do you prefer a chunky heel or something slimmer? How would you style this shoe?

Inside a Style Blogger’s Closet: Sequins on Sweaters & Velvet on Leggings—These are a Few of My Favorite Things!

Posted on by

Every Sunday night, I try to take an hour or so to outfit prep, as stated in a previous post from September. When one planned outfit didn’t quite work out this week, I had to switch things up in a pinch, so that I could still get myself ready, get my daughter up & ready & arrive at work on time. This was the original planned outfit, but the pants were noticeably too short for a 30-degree winter day on Long Island & I wasn’t about to dig out my boots from another part of the house.

Then, upon changing up the clothing & keeping the accessories, this is what I ended up wearing:

Eventually, I realized that the sweater & leggings are newer pieces that I recently purchased & they’re still available to shop for. I’ll definitely be wearing these pieces (in different ways) throughout the season as the sweater is so versatile in terms of styling & color matching & the leggings can be dressed up or down with a tunic or hoodie & paired with boots, heels, or sneakers.

multicolored sequin v-neck sweater in ivory/gold & silver heather grey @LOFT (on sale $49.99, extra 50% off with code: 24HRS, limited availability in sizes XS-L).

Time & Tru velvet leggings in rose wine & olive dusk @Walmart ($14.98, available in sizes XS-3XL).

I already have the silver sweater, but I do have my eye on the olive leggings, especially since the velvet stripe down the side adds such a dressy & luxurious touch to any stylish and/or sporty outfit.

SHOP NOW!: A Staple Denim Jacket in 4 Washes for Under $20!

Posted on by

I mean, the headline says it all! All spring, summer, & early fall, my go-to outerwear item, if needed, is a denim jacket. I’ve had the same dark denim one for Dressbarn (similar here) for years & I’ve found doppelgängers in other washes that I’ve added to my rotation. I love contrasting something sparkly or printed with a neutral denim, especially since my everyday bottoms range in pattern or texture. What’s better is that today’s featured item is made in 4 washes, (mostly) available in a wide range of sizes, & is currently under $20!

SHOP: Time & Tru denim jacket in black, medium wash, brown (really the dark denim on the bottom left), & light wash @Walmart (on sale: $19.99, limited availability in sizes XS-XXXL).

I spotted them recently in stores, too, & the denim washes differ in person than they do when ordering online or through the Walmart app; however, my local store is full of denim jackets, so if you don’t have one just yet, you know where to find them!

How would you style a denim jacket? Do you have one already that you love? Which wash did you prefer most? For more stylish posts, check out: the spring dress you’ll want in every color, faux leather pull-on pants from LOFT, & Valentine’s bracelet gift ideas! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: The Spring Dress You’ll Want in Every Color!

Posted on by

Currently, I’m never thinking about springtime until I log on to social media & see Style Darlings across the country, especially those in warmer locations, donning lightweight floral-printed tops, dresses, or pants. However, retailers are ready for pastels & preparing shoppers for Spring Break!

All late spring & summer long, I’m wearing a dress! It’s one piece & great for casual or dressy occasions, depending on how it’s styled. I love being able to share a dress that not only comes in several different colors, but is an inclusive option for all sizes! Case in point:

SHOP: A New Day sleeveless ballet dress in black, green, dark blue, pink, & taupe @Target ($28.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

I’m especially excited about the green dress, as it is my favorite color, but I can picture any of these styled with a cardigan & ballet flats for work, a denim jacket & slides for weekend, or a metallic shawl & strappy wedges for date night. The flattering fit & flare silhouette combined with the midi length makes for a classic dress option that’ll make for a fashionable spring season.

How would you style this dress? What color do you like best? Are you already refreshing your spring wardrobe? For more stylish posts, check out: faux leather pull-on pants on sale now, classic & stylish bracelets for a Valentine’s gift, & cozy sweaters with a spring twist! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: Faux Leather Pull-On Pants from LOFT!

Posted on by

If there’s any kind of pant that I love, it’s a pull-on pair, especially after experiencing the changes in my body after having my daughter. Since last fall, I’ve been searching for pull-on styles in all different materials & patterns to alternate throughout the changing seasons. However, winter styles are currently hitting the clearance racks & spring is bursting through retailers’ doors!

SHOP: faux leather pull-on slim pants in black, rich aubergine, & lustrous olive @LOFT (on sale: $59.99, 70% off 3 styles with code: YAY, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL).

Loving these velvet pants from LOFT that seem to be in the same cut & a similar color scheme, I’m all about the faux leather option, but unfortunately, the black—which is what I’d experiment with—is no longer available in my size. I say “experiment” because I’m usually warm at work, giving a lecture or running from classroom to office, so I’d be reluctant to order the other colors if I couldn’t quite commit—but they sure are cute!

How would you style these pants? Which color do you like the best? Are you shopping end-of-the-season deals right now? For more stylish posts, check out: classic bracelets for Valentine’s Day gifts, cozy Time & Tru sweaters with a spring twist, & puffer coats for under $13! Happy Styling!

I’m always on the lookout for dazzling baubles to add to my collection or recommend to readers & that includes classic pieces that can be worn for a day at the office or special occasion. Obviously, I love accessories that come in a variety of colors too, which brings me to today’s selection:

SHOP: Charter Club pavé & imitation pearl slide bracelet in tri-tone, gold, navy, pearl, rose, & red @Macy’s (on sale: $14.70).

Personally, I love mixed metals & rose gold, but I’m drawn to the red & navy options to pair with a blouse & pencil skirt with a cardigan & heels for work. For the discounted price, why not?

Accessories Access: The Boldest, Most Colorful Statement Necklaces of the Season!

Posted on by

It’s no secret that I love a statement necklace. Even when I doubt whether or not I should wear one because it’s too gaudy or extreme for a day in the office, I have to trust my first instinct in that I invested in the piece, have a vision for it, & wearing sparkly accessories is just a part of who I am, I should just embrace it, going for it with the right kind of look. During one of many recent forays clicking around New York & Company‘s website, I discovered the following 2 necklaces, 1 of which is already on stand-by to wear, & the other I’m waiting for to reduce in price.

SHOP: glass flower statement necklace @New York & Company (on sale: $35.97).

SHOP: multicolor glass link necklace @New York & Company (on sale: $23.97).

The flower necklace is the one I’m still thinking about, but if the right reward deal comes my way, I’ll definitely be adding it to my cart! With both necklaces, I love the color varieties, which offer a multitude of styling possibilities for a blouse, pullover sweater, jumpsuit, sheath dress, fit & flare dress, midi skirt outfit, or maxi dress. The cobalt blue tone stands out to me the most in these, but no matter what I may wear it with, I’d like to highlight the rich green & bright reds in it.

It still only feels like yesterday when I was toasting away to the New Year’s Eve ball dropping in Times Square (from the comfort of my living room couch), but onward & upward into 2023 we go! Looking ahead this winter, we’re in the midst of a lovely, heart-filled Valentine’s Day hype & retailers are hopping on board with everything from home decor to dresses, tops, skirts, & pants, to accessories, such as shoes, totes, jewelry, & more, all adorned with hearts or messages of love. The thing about Valentine’s Day this year is to most importantly love yourself first & it’s never a bad idea to invest in pieces that make you feel just as sparkly or joyful as you already are! Here are 5 stylish pieces that I can’t stop thinking about, which means that it must be love!

SHOP: heart stud earring set @LOFT ($42.00, 30% off with code: TREAT).

Accessories Access: Stylish Earrings Sets in Gold & Silver!

Posted on by

It’s a very rare occasion that I’m actually stuck with no idea what to wear, despite my plethora of options. When it comes to jewelry, I usually decide on the finer details the morning I am getting ready, especially for the work day ahead. Also, I have 5 piercings in each of my ears, which I fill every single “leaving the house” day & my collection continues to grow & sparkle. While I do love a long, dangly drop earring for a more dramatic look, my go-to for all 5 piercings is a stud. I love finding different stud sets so that the options coordinate together, but I also love mixing up new picks with some old favorites. For example:

SHOP: shooting star stud earring set in gold & silver @LOFT (on sale: $22.50 with code: TREAT).

Even though the holiday season is behind us, that doesn’t mean our sparkle must dull. Now, more than ever, it’s important to embrace the joy of the season & keep celebrating into the frigid months of winter as stylishly as we can! This means not to hang up or store the sequins in the until-next-year section of your closet as there’s still plenty to sparkle about!

SHOP: sequin high-waisted ankle leggings in black, gold, coco red, & fuchsia glow @New York & Company (on sale: $41.97, available in sizes: XS-XXL).

SHOP: reversible sequin pencil skirt in pink / silver @New York & Company (on sale: $35.98, available in sizes: XS-XXL), rainbow sequin pencil skirt @New York & Company (on sale: $35.98, available in sizes: XS-XXL), & sequin stripe pencil skirt @New York & Company (on sale: $26.98, available in sizes: XS-XXL).

Even though my husband & I had a very low key New Year’s Eve, I was thrilled to ring in the new year in style & sparkles! As soon as I saw the blouse below on Instagram, I knew it was the top I’d wear—no matter our midnight plans.

SHOP: Time & Tru sequined top with long sleeves in champagne @Walmart ($20.98, limited availability in sizes: XS-XXXL).

This top can be worn with virtually any kind of bottom, including black faux leather pants, a lace skirt, multicolor jacquard pants, red satin joggers, royal blue tuxedo pants, forest green plaid trousers, hot pink pants, or winter white ankle pants. My only wish is for the top to also be available in rose gold & silver because I’d definitely invest those as well!

How would you style this top? Where would you wear it? Do you break out sparkly separates for special occasions? For more stylish posts, check out: a chic houndstooth wrap for under $25, velour pajamas by Joyspun, & the best celebrity looks of 2022! Happy Styling!
