Fall Loungewear I’m Obsessed With!

October 16, 2023

The temperatures are finally cooling down and I’m stocking up on all my fall loungewear. I am the unofficial queen of sweatsuits as they are my go to for sleeping, going out, and even working from home. Sweatsuits are the matching sets you need to feel like you can conquer the world.

Aritzia

TNA Cozy Fleece Mega Raglan Hoodie- Shop Here

This is truly my go to hoodie. I like to size up to a Medium or Large so that it’s super oversized. The quality of the Aritzia pieces is truly unmatched and I just love it! I also like that their pieces perfectly match all styles of tops and bottoms so that you can mix and match.

TNA Cozy Fleece Mega Sweatpant- Shop Here

Hands down these are my most favorite sweatpants. They are incredibly flattering on someone like me who is curvier. I find that sweats are often just too baggy and oversized but these are literally perfect for me. I just stocked up this season and I’m really loving the cool grey color pictured above!

White Fox

Offstage Sweatpants Posie Pink- shop here

This is a new brand to me but I’ve been seeing these sets everywhere. I was drawn to this pink color because I feel like it’s so fun for fall and winter as a pop of color. The quality of this set is great and I’m actually interested in trying out a few other pieces by White Fox. Let me know if you’d like a full review!

Skims

Soft Lounge Tank- Shop Here

I couldn’t talk about my favorite loungewear pieces without mentioning this tank. This has become the staple sleep shirt in my rotation. I have this in pretty much every color and I wear it literally every night. It’s really the perfect tank to take from lounge at home to out and about running errands!

I hope this post satisfies your fall loungewear inspo! For me it’s cute sweatsuits and sometimes leggings that I can rotate in! I love these cozier pieces as the weather cools because you get to be really comfy but don’t compromise looking put together.

My Fall Lifestyle Favorites!

October 19, 2022

As we are in the thick of this fall season, I wanted to share my fall lifestyle favorites getting me through it! Fall is truly my favorite season so I am really in my element these days! This bonus post has everything from fashion to food that you need to try this fall.

As always, these are affiliate links where I make a commission off of them but there is no pressure to purchase! I just had to share these with you so you can get all the cozy fall vibes too with my fall lifestyle favorites!

Free People Ruby Jacket- Shop Here

This jacket has leveled up my fall style! I love that I can throw this on with sweats or jeans and it instantly gives the best layered looking vibe. I haven’t stopped wearing it since I got it and this color is everything. It’s a creamy white with a hint of pink so it just screams fall to me!

Ugg Ultra Mini Mustard Seed- Shop Here

The Boston Birkenstocks are what I truly had my eye on but ended up settling for these instead! I felt like I wanted a full shoe that would be warm and fuzzy and these do just that. I am a huge UGG fan but these are even better than my minis because they are super flattering and hit just the right spot!

Ankle Socks- Shop Here

One thing we’ve been seeing so much is the return of the ankle socks! They’re perfect with the UGG minis or even Air Force 1s for a layered look! I love pairing them with black leggings because I feel like it just gives that cozy fall vibe we’re all after. I personally love the Aritzia ones but I cannot justify the cost so I linked a dupe for them here that are way cheaper!

Fall Outfit Trends I Love

October 8, 2021

I can hardly believe that fall is here! I love fall fashion because of the warmer colors and layering of outfits. Overall, fall is seriously my favorite time of year and the fashion just adds to it. I thought it would be fun for me to share my favorite and go to fall outfit trends for this fall!

Leather

I love breaking out my leather jacket for fall. It’s seriously the perfect accessory to throw on with any outfit. It gives you an edgy vibe but keeps you warm enough on a cool night. My biggest tip for a leather jacket is to really invest is one. Mine is from Topshop and was pricy but I have had it for many seasons and absolutely love it.

Statement Jackets

There is nothing I love more than a statement jacket. They are my go to fall piece no matter the outfit. I find it so important to make sure I have jackets that I love because they can really make an outfit in colder weather. This jacket is from Lulus and I am literally obsessed with using it to dress up or dress down an outfit.

Good Shoes

I am a sucker for a good pair of booties in the fall. They add to any outfit and are so comfy. If it were up to me, I would wear booties all year round because they are the perfect accessory. These are from Old Navy and I would check them out for a lot of your fall outfit trends because they are super affordable.

Basics

One area that I feel like everyone lacks in is there basics. Basics are a year round staple and it’s important to build up that collection before you even get into the fall outfit trends. I like to buy my basics from places like Aritiza or even Target because you just want pieces that you can transition into any season. You can shop this crop top here!

I hope my fall outfit trends post inspires you to build up your wardrobe of basics and trendier pieces. Fall is such a fun time of year because you can really play around with layers. It’s also not too hot so you can get creative with whatever you want to wear!

A Delicious Korean Turkey Recipe

October 1, 2021

This Korean turkey recipe is definitely something out of my comfort zone but it’s actually delicious! As many of you know, for the most part I am plant based. Once in awhile I will incorporate meet into my diet and Iove this recipe for that. The protein from the turkey makes this meal filling and somewhat healthy. Keep reading to learn how I make my Korean turkey recipe.

Ingredients:

3 lbs Ground Turkey

4 tbsp Soy Sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 yellow onion

2 tbsp of minced garlic

1/4 c brown sugar

1/2 tsp ground giner

Red chili flakes (add to your liking)

Sesame seeds

3 c cooked rice

Directions:

I like to first dice up my onions and set aside. Next, I will start to cook the ground turkey in a large frying pan until cooked thoroughly.
While the turkey is cooking, I add all the other things together to make my sauce except for the sesame seeds.
Once the sauce is mixed and the turkey is finished, I’ll add the onions and sauce to the frying pan and let both sit covered for about 10 minutes. This step really helps the onions to soften and the sauce and meet to mix.
When that is finished, I plate this with some white rice and top with sesame seeds!

I think you can see why this is one of my favorite recipes. I absolutely love how fast and easy this korean turkey recipe is. This makes for a really great meal prepped dinner or lunch if you want to prep this ahead of time. I prefer turkey over beef but you can obviously swap the turkey for ground beef, chicken, or even a plant based option!

My Princess Polly Review

September 24, 2021

As the fall weather starts to creep in, I wanted to start building up my fall wardrobe. Princess Polly is a site that I have always wanted to order from but for some reason just didn’t. I finally placed my first order and thought I would share my Princess Polly Review with you!

As you can tell from this haul, I like the color black. It truly is one of my go to colors especially in the fall so I wanted some nicer going out shirts which is what I got. Princess Polly reminds me of an elevated Forever 21. The prices are slightly higher but so is the quality of the clothes. Overall, Princess Polly also is pretty inexpensive for the trendy pieces it sells.

I purchased 5 things and only spent $280 dollars which isn’t bad. I also paid for the fastest shipping so that things would come in like 2 days later.

Ariah Long Sleeve

The first shirt I got was the Ariah long sleeve in black. I usually am a size 6 or 8 but I sized up in pretty much everything which I’m glad I did. The cut of this top is super flattering and it’s great to pair with a skirt or jeans depending where you’re wearing it.

Elouise Crop Top

I love this Elouise crop! This is literally the perfect casual to dressy top because it’s easy to pair with anything. I will note this top is not the greatest for larger chest gals. I just fit into this top even in the bigger size and I don’t have the largest chest.

Jamison Reid Crop

You’re probably shocked I have something white in this princess polly review. This top is so flowy and cute. Again, not the best for people with a larger chest because it doesn’t have any support at all. I paired this with jeans when I wore it and it was the most effortless look.

Charvi Mini

This dress literally wow’ed me when I tried it on. The material is actually pretty stretchy which makes this dress the best little black dress. I also think that for the price, this is the perfect staple piece to have in your closet.

Cottage Hill Mini

On to the only item I returned, this pink dress. It was just not it. I felt like there was almost too much material for it to look as good as it does on the model in the size I ordered. Definitely wasn’t in love with the color because on line it looks pink but it was much more muted and almost nude in person.

One of my major take aways is to order up if you are unsure. I am so glad that I sized up because most of the pieces I would have had to reorder. I think it might have been my own fault with the pink dress but other than that I was super happy with my Princess Polly order!

My Tips for Selling on Poshmark

October 19, 2020

With a job like mine, I am constantly shopping for new clothes. Sometimes its just not possible to wear everything I get. I turn to selling on Poshmark to get something back for the clothes I’ve purchased and only really worn once. I love stores like Plato’s Closet, who actually go through the clothes you take to them but sometimes more expensive pieces don’t make you the most back. Poshmark on the other hand is so nice because you can decide what you want to charge. I’m basically a pro now so I’ve put together some tips for selling on Poshmark.

Only Sell Name Brand Items

You might be saying, someone will by your shirt but they probably won’t. I find that I actually sell brands like Lululemon, TopShop, and even Urban Outfitters so much faster because of the name brands. Sometimes I’ll upload things and they either take forever to sell or never sell at all. Posting more name brand and trendy brands will make your pieces perform so much better.

Price Accordingly

With any second hand shopping, know you’re probably not going to get what you originally paid for. After all, these pieces were worn or even gently worn. I generally get around $65-70 dollars for my $98 Lululemon Aligns. Still a good price but not exactly what I paid for. If you price too high, you’ll be stuck with your clothes for much longer than you’d like.

Use Keywords in Your Listing

I’m sure we’d all love to list our “cute pink shirt” but making sure we use the brand title as the first word will help people find your listing much easier. Poshmark has a search feature and it’s important that you’re items get seen when people are search for a specific thing. Make sure to detail the style of the clothing too so that when people search, it pops right up for them!

Items Can be Sent Back

Be warned, people can send items back if they aren’t happy with them. Make sure what you’re posting is high quality and doesn’t have any damage or rips. You want to grow your reputation on Poshmark so that people will come back and shop with you again so it’s so important that you sell only your best quality pieces.

Poshmark and other websites like Thread Up are awesome but you really have to know how to sell on them to get the most out of them. Let me know in the comments below some of your favorite resale websites or stores!!

Must Have Jewelry Pieces

September 28, 2020

One area of my closet that never seems to stay organized is my jewelry. I have so many jewelry pieces and I love wearing them with pretty much any outfits to accessorize. Whether I’m going for an athleisure look or a night on the town, jewelry seriously helps to put the finishing touches on an outfit. This post is dedicated to all my favorite and must have jewelry pieces in your collection.

Dainty Necklace

For me, a dainty necklace is a must have layering piece. Starting with something like this and adding on more lengths and style can seriously elevate your look. I even love a dainty necklace on its own to just spice up any look. I know many of us like our go to metal tone, but I think it’s so important to have a go to gold and silver necklace so you’re set for any outfit.

Signature Rings

I titled this signature rings because everyone has there own preference on types. I definitely am not someone who likes too much bling so I tend to not get jewelry with any sparkle. Having your own mix of rings like these ensures you can mix and match easily.

Gold Hoops

Okay, you’ve probably heard this before but gold hoop earrings seriously are game changing! I love throwing on a small gold hoop if I’m out running errands or even for a night out because they just look so good. I feel like I also can conquer the world when I’m wearing them which always is a plus.

My favorite places to purchase jewelry is from brands like Brandy Melville. Brandy has the most perfect simple but beautiful necklaces. There are also so many great places to get investment pieces that are more expensive from like Adina’s Jewels. I like to keep my jewelry affordable only because of how easy it is to lose it or break it.

I hope this must have jewelry pieces guide helps you curate your own jewelry collection. Adding a simple necklace or earrings seriously can elevate your look and maybe even your confidence. Let me know in the comments below where your favorite places are to buy jewelry!

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

November 30, 2019

Can you believe its almost Thanksigiving? Or that I’m actually writing a post dedicated to Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas? We have all been there: it’s the morning of a holiday and the outfit you thought was cute ended up being ugly or widely inappropriate for a family affair. I’m here just lending my hand and put together some fall trends to help you spark some Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas early instead of waiting until the night or morning of to decide what you’re going to wear.

Fall Dresses:

This might sound basic but dresses are probably my go to on holidays. As long as they aren’t too short or too low cut, they are the easiest to style and actually look like you tried. I love a fall colored dress or some sort of pattern that just reminds you of fall. This dress is from Free People that I actually got at Marshalls (I was so shocked too). Adding my boots and a fun sock or leg warmer just adds to the outfit and makes you look more stylish then you usually do.

Accessories!

I think this tip goes for any outfit. Don’t be afraid to add a hat or knee high boots. I feel like for fall not only do hats keep you warm but they also give off a really cool vibe. It is important to find the right kind of hat. Don’t just og to the store and buy one. You should actually try them out and see what fits best for your head shape because hats are definitely not always flattering on everyone. I am obsessed with this look I put together awhile ago and I still look to it today for my Thanksgiving outfit ideas.

Cowl Neck Sweaters

Turtle neck sweaters are not my favorite but for some reason I can wear a cowl neck no problem. I love this one from Hollister because its boxy but also flattering. I dressed it up with a sweater but it also would be cute with a pair of jeans or booties. If your Thanksgivings aren’t that dressy, even wearing a nice sweater with leggings will keep you looking put together.

Corduroy Skirts

One fall trend that I love and is timeless is textured materials. I love Corduroy skirts because they look cute but often are thicker and warmer than other skirts. Forever 21 often has them super cheap and I think that is where I got this one from. I love a good skirt and sweater situation for Thanksgiving and fall so this outfit is perfect!

I hope this post is exactly what you need to get inspired for Thanksgiving outfits. These Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas are some that I will use this year to put my outfit together. Be sure to follow me on Instagram @cassiedenisco to see what I end up wearing!

Jackets for Fall You Can’t Live Without

October 23, 2019

My favorite fall accessory is a jacket. Jackets during fall are the perfect accent to any outfit and are generally going to be your statement piece because it’s going to be most visible. Jackets for fall are the first thing people will see because it’s not like summer where you can leave the house without one. I’ve gathered all of my favorite fall jackets for you to hopefully break down the idea that jackets have to be bulky and made out of weird materials. These jackets for fall are perfect for all style tastes!

The Peacoat

This is a classic fall/winter jacket for me. It might not be the most warm but it gives off a really classy, put together vibe. I suggest having a peacoat in a few different colors so that you’ll have one for all of the events you need to go to and it can match your outfit perfectly. My peacoat is from J Crew a few seasons ago but here is a link to a similar one!

The Puffer

Now puffers might be a little more winter related but I love starting to wear them on those cold fall nights. I have two really cute puffers here with different material. The white is a classic winter jacket material but the cut makes it so flattering. It’s boxy and slightly cropped so it would look great with a workout outfit or anything street style related. On the other image, I have a suede pink puffer. I’m obsessed with this because it gives the classic puffer a really fun twist. The suede puffer is from Abercrombie but the other is from Target. Here’s a link to the similar one!

The Denim

I love love love a denim jacket with a hoodie. I think it gives such a cool and cozy vibe. Denim jackets scream fall to me and I couldn’t imagine fall fashion without one. I like to get my denim jackets for fall a little more oversized so that I am able to layer with them. It helps to make it so much easier when I’m not trying to shove my bulky sweatshirt into a cropped jacket. I also think it could be fun to get a colored denim jacket. I know black ones are really cool but I also think a red one could be perfect for fall. Here’s the link to my exact one!

The Teddy

These were huge last year but I think that they’re back again this year. The I.am.Gia craze might be over but nearly every store has some sort of teddy jacket. I’m obsessed with mine from garage when I want to be extra cozy and warm. I definitely don’t wear this jacket out as often but I think it is a staple in most people’s wardrobes. Here’s a link to a target dupe!

The Fun Ones

I am literally so obsessed with a fun jacket for fall. I love this pink fuzzy one from Lulus but I also am obsessed with any kind of statement color jackets. I have a gorgeous yellow from Brooks Brothers but I think statement jackets for fall are a must. Find one you’re obsessed with and just rock it and live it.

The Leather

I had to finish off this post with my all time favorite fall jacket, a leather one. Leather jackets are the perfect accent to fall because of their texture and warmth. Adding a scarf to a leather jacket is the perfect accessory to any fall outfit. This one is from Topshop and is real leather but you can totally get a faux leather one for much cheaper.

I think fall jackets are so important in putting together the best fall outfits. Jackets are what people will see so you have to make sure you’re choosing wisely. I’m a bit jacket obsessed but for good reason, not only are jackets for fall key to keeping you warm they also are great to add to any outfit. Check out my last fashion post here.
