My Must Have Accessories- Bonus Post!

May 18, 2022

I have truly curated this must have accessories post with all of my favorites! I find myself sometimes looking to splurge on accessories and other times, Amazon does the job. They can help add to any outfit and really elevate your look.

My favorite outfits are those casual ones with cute accessories. It always makes you look so polished and put together when you really didn’t try that hard. All of these items will have links and as usual I make a small commission if you purchase through them but there’s no pressure!!

Amazon Sunglasses- Shop Here

Why would you ever pay for expensive sunglasses when Amazon seriously has the greatest selection? I can’t get over that they not only have designer dupes but they have so many unique styles. They’re all so affordable and I can really switch it up which I love.

I am obsessed with these sharp glasses. They’re great running errands and walking the dog but they also can help to dress up an outfit when you’re going out. They are so affordable and a true must have.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag- Shop Here

If you read my pet favorites post, you know I love this bag. It has seriously just become my everyday bag because it perfectly fits my keys, phone and wallet. If you’re a dog mom, there’s also an outer pouch that I put in some dog treats so we’re set when we go out.

Definitely on the pricier side, but when I tell you I use this all the time I seriously do. Many of you know I’m also a dance teacher and this is the perfect bag for those long competition days. Not too big and easy enough to carry the essentials.

Hoop Earrings- Shop Here

This is a newer accessory favorite of mine but hoop earrings elevate any look. Whether you’re rocking athleisure or a nice going out outfit, hoop earrings get the job done. I am obsessed with these from Amazon.

Disclaimer: sometimes jewelry on Amazon is hit or miss. I have really sensitive ears so I find that sometimes the quality isn’t there but I found these to work well for me. I like a chunky but small hoop because it just gives the outfit a good feel.

Aritzia Socks- Shop Here

You’re probably asking why specifically Aritzia socks but they are next level. I feel like everyone has their go to sock brand and my favorite is Aritzia. They are not only super cute but come in so many lengths so it helps to add to your outfit.

Tall socks have really been making a comeback so I love adding these to a sneaker outfit. Whenever I’m ordering I always order socks because I just love them that much.

Louis Vuitton Key Pouch- Shop Here

This is pricy but oh so worth it. I am obsessed with this key pouch and have been for years. It attaches to my keys and perfectly holds my cards and some cash. This is hands down my all time favorite accessory.

I hope you enjoyed this bonus post! These must have accessories are favorites I can’t live without! If you liked this post, be sure to subscribe here to my mailing list so you never miss a post!

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!

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 Spring Clothing Haul 2021

March 26, 2021

I feel like I haven’t purchased new clothes since last year this time. This spring clothing haul is probably the first time since March of last year that I purchased normal clothes, not just sweats and loungewear. I am so excited for the weather to get warmer and I thought I would share some of the pieces I’ve collected so far for spring 2021. Spring is the perfect time to experiment with new looks and styles because it’s not too hot or too cold. You can really go either way with whatever look you choose!

Matching Set

This matching set from Good Tuesday is the perfect two piece set for spring. It came with a bralette and the matching bike shorts in this pretty blue color. As many of you know, I am definitely a neutrals gal but I found this to be the perfect pop of pattern and color for spring. This is sold out on their website but there are a lot of other cute pieces for spring. I personally love their bralettes too!

Athleisure

This next outfit is a full Amazon fit. I’m really into the althleisure look for spring and Amazon has some great pieces that are affordable. This cropped sweatshirt was only $29.99 and comes in so many colors. Perfect to throw on over a sports bra or a tank top and head out for the day. Stay tuned for next week’s post because I’ll be sharing all of my top Amazon Workout Favorites!!

Good Jeans

If you know me, you know jean shorts usually aren’t it for me. I made it my mission to find myself shorts this season that fit well and are comfortable. These are the mom high rise shorts from American Eagle. I am literally obsessed with their curvy line. I cannot begin to tell you how great it is that they make denim that is snug at my waist but has enough room at my thighs. If you haven’t tried AE before, run don’t walk to get your hands on these shorts!

Nicer Tops

Sticking with American Eagle, I wanted to start building up my nicer shirts. I felt like I gave up on wearing fancier tops last year but I knew when I saw these that they were perfect. I love the simplicity of the cream one and the pop of color and fun of the pink. Both are basics but are fun to incorporate and style this spring.

Accessorize

The final piece that I wanted in my spring clothing haul were baseball hats. I wore a beanie most of the winter so finding a good baseball cap was at the top of my spring accessory list. This one I found from Lululemon. I love the pale pastel pink and think it will look great with an all black look.

When shopping for this spring clothing haul, I wasn’t trying to redo my wardrobe but I wanted pieces to ease myself back in to wearing real outfits. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving up my sweats but I am so looking forward to having places to go and putting together real outfits again.

Let me know if you liked this spring clothing haul! I usually don’t do them but thought it would be fun to share my post pandemic pieces and how I’m looking to transition to spring from winter.

Best Women’s Loungewear Pieces

February 19, 2021

Where I live, February is one of the coldest months of the year. Temperatures are often single digits and there is always a chance for snow. My style switches from looking good to staying warm and comfy. I’ve complied my list of best women’s loungewear pieces that I cannot live without. This list has everything you need to keep you comfy and warm, while also stylish this winter.

The Matching Set

This trend has recently taken off during quarantine and I’m here for it. There is no better feeling then having sweatpants and a sweatshirt that match because it helps you look a little more put together. This set that I’m wearing is actually from Victoria’s Secret Pink.. shocking I know. I poked around on their website and was so surprised to see that their signature logo was not plastered all over the clothing. One of the reasons I turned away from Pink was for that reason. I couldn’t stand wearing clothes with the brand in giant glitter but the logo is small and discrete. It helps to make this matching set looking definitely more expensive and almost like something from Aritzia or Urban.

The Perfect Leggings

best women's loungewear — Lululemon Align Leggings $98

No matter the season, leggings are always a staple for me. They’re perfect for staying warm and dressing up or down an outfit. I’ll throw on leggings for a workout and even just running errands. I truly believe they are versatile and are the epitome of the athleisure style. Leggings also go great with winter shoes like boots and sneakers, so why wouldn’t you take advantage of this comfy time! My go to legging brand will always be Lululemon. I am probably their Aligns’ biggest fan. I know they’re pricy but let me tell you, they are worth it for how soft they are and they last as long as you take care of them.

Socks Aren’t Just for Warmth

women's socks — Hanes Women’s Crew Socks $10.99

Crew socks have definitely come a long way in the past few years. I personally never wore them until they somehow made a comeback. Whether you’re wearing boots or even sneakers, a crew sock is the perfect accent for any outfit. Obviously you aren’t going to wear them pulled all the way up but I love the look of them scrunched up on top of leggings or just peeking out of my UGGs. I think this is one of the best women’s loungewear trends because you actually get to take advantage of the comfort and coziness of the sock.

Cozy Boots

I know UGGs might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I wouldn’t survive winter without them. They are my go to shoe because I don’t have to put much thought or effort in. Like I mentioned above, I’ve been styling them with a taller sock so the color peeks out at the top. I also just think you can’t go wrong with anything that’s warm and cozy during cold months. My favorite type are the mini ones. I have had the tall and the short, but the mini gives you enough warmth and comfort without losing the definition of you leg.

Bralettes

You probably weren’t expecting to see this on my list for winter but finding a good bralette is essential to loungewear. I cannot tell you how great it is to find a bra that is soft and so comfy for those days you’re just hanging out, literally. Bralettes are my go to with sweatpants and a sweatshirt. We often forget to think of our undergarments as loungewear but we want to be comfy and supported. I love these from Aritzia because they’re made out of a thicker material that keeps you supported but not uncomfortable.

I hope my list of best women’s loungewear helps to keep you cozy and warm for the rest of the winter. These are all staple pieces in my wardrobe to stay comfy but also a little stylish as the weather stays so cold. Be sure to leave a comment below letting me know you loungewear must haves!

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!!
