Target’s A New Day brand has done it again! They’re on the pulse of spring-summer with flattering, inclusive must-haves that make me want to book a vacation now & purchase a whole new wardrobe for it. When it comes to the warmer seasons & feminine frocks, you just can’t go wrong with eyelet!
My only wish is that these had thicker straps so that I wouldn’t have to rely on a strapless bra, even if you’re meant to go bra-less with it. Curvier girls need support!
If you’re looking for a last-minute Valentine’s or Galentine’s gift for a lovely loved one, then head over to Macy’s star for a gift set bargain! Better yet, get these for yourself!
At such a can’t-miss final sale price, how could you go wrong with any of these sets? I’m not usually one to coordinate exactly when it comes to jewelry as I prefer to mix it up, but a classic pendant like this can be worn for a special occasion, with a collared shirt, or layered with other chains.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Style Darlings! To bring a—temporary—close to all the loved-themed goods, I wanted to post a reminder that self-love, in whatever form works for you, is the best way to honor yourself so that you can love others.
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:
Rihanna, a 9-time Grammy winner & recent Oscar nominee, has returned to the stage—one of the biggest stages in the world with her exciting performance at Super Bowl LVII. In addition to the showstopping medley of her best hits, while decked out in Loewe & Maison Margiela, the singer also used her platform to announce her second pregnancy.
Watch the pre-show press conference about the celebration of her catalogue & Caribbean heritage in the show:
The red carpet of last night’s BRIT Awards wowed with over-the-top fa-shun from the likes of major recording artists—which is really no surprise, but a lot of fun to write about—such as “As It Was” singer Harry Styles in an all-black statement flower suit, the iconic Sam Smith taking black latex to the next level, superstar Lizzo in full metallic glam, pop singer Ellie Goulding donning brunette locks in a leather armor-inspired ensemble, a suave Lucien Laviscount from Emily in Paris, & actress Jodie Turner-Smith owning the liquid gold look.

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.
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!
Are we thinking about summer yet? I mean, it’s nice to daydream & I definitely don’t want to wish the rest of cozy winter & romantic spring away, but… when I see a great summer item deal that’s inclusive for many sizes with a variety of styling potential, I can’t help but gush about it. Some of you may think that a printed tee isn’t the most stylish piece in a wardrobe, but these colors & prints from Old Navy mean business!
I love all of the prints of these! When it comes to summer staples, I’m a sucker for fruits, so the oranges are on my radar. I love that even though these can obviously be paired with casual items like denim cut-offs or linen pants, you can also elevate them with a blazer & pull-on pants or an open cardigan & belted midi skirt.
For the full-time work week, more than half the week includes a 3-piece outfit topped by a cardigan. This means that I need OPTIONS! My go-to store for cardigans of all kinds (that are also quality) is New York & Company. I miss their stores so much, but the variety of EVERYTHING on their website is making due—obviously if you’ve seen my cardigan collection.
Now is the time of year that the winter must-haves are getting marked down to make wave for stylish spring duds, which brings me to post about these $10 long-sleeve cardigans!
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!
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!
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:
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…
Last night’s Grammy Awards red carpet wasn’t the only highlight of the night, especially when so many milestones were achieved during the memorable celebration of music! From Beyonce‘s record-breaking Grammy win to Harry Styles claiming Album of the Year, as well as Lizzo‘s joyful & Mary J. Blige‘s powerhouse performances, there’s much to look back on when it comes to style & entertainment.

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!
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.
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!
Outside of escapism through the glories of fashion, the entertainment industry adds more fantasy & glamour to our imaginations, especially from the comfort of our homes. While bloggers & cinephiles around the country are gearing up for the upcoming Academy Awards, let’s take a moment to appreciate the fun, funny, & fashionable on-screen romp of the upcoming sequel Murder Mystery2, starring Jennifer Aniston & Adam Sandler, who return as Audrey & Nick Spitz. The characters are invited on an exotic private island getaway, but things turn criminal & chaotic with plenty of humor in tow when the groom, Maharajah from 2019’s Murder Mystery, is getting married until… well, you’ll have to watch the trailer to learn more!
Also, the duo is joined by plenty more star powe, including Jodie Turner-Smith, Mark Strong, Melanie Laurent, & Tony Goldwyn! Not to mention, Jennifer Aniston’s style game is on pointe for this film & I can’t wait to see what she wears when promoting this comedy adventure that also brings the couple to Paris!
Watch the trailer below for the Netflix romp, set to stream on March 31st:
Julia Garner‘s star meter has been on the rise for a number of years now, especially after her award-winning performance as Ruth in the Netflix series Ruth, earning her both 2 Emmy Awards & a Golden Globe Award. Additionally, she has delivered groundbreaking performances in the #MeToo-centered film The Assistant & Netflix miniseries Inventing Anna as the titular convicted socialite Anna Sorokin / Anna Delvey. Today marks Julia’s 29th birthday & she’s just getting started when it comes to her style identity. She’s a bit of a mix when it comes to a modern & classic aesthetic, opting for high glamour with an unexpected twist that wins the red carpet at every event she attends. Take a look through the gallery below of some of Julia’s best high fashion moments, attending prestigious awards shows, glamorous premieres, & talk show appearances.
I love a stylish, affordable dupe that doesn’t break the bank. How about you? It’s not new for mainstream retailers to be “inspired” by high-end designers, especially the luxury brands. However, when it comes to footwear & trends, the possibilities are endless, which is the case for Steve Madden’s Kenley rhinestone sandal, left.
Of course, the heel styles & heights are different between the two shoes, but if you’re shopping for a special occasion already putting down some cash on a dressy look, why not save a little on the shoes & get some extra support with a block heel?
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!
Even when Valentine’s Day isn’t approaching, it’s always hearts season! I love to wear heart jewelry & hearts on my clothes any time of the year, which is why I’m so excited to share these fabulous picks for your lovely shopping enjoyment!
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:
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:
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…
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.
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!
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!
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!
