With the holiday season fast approaching, I’m sure we could all use a new LBD. Am I right?! It’s been years since I have personally invested in a new black dress that I could wear multiple times over. I have a charity event tomorrow night so I’ve been on the lookout for a new black cocktail dress to wear. From Bloomingdale’s to Shopbop, there are so many good black cocktail dress options right now! Also, have you ever shopped the Acqua brand at Bloomingdale’s? It’s a more affordable line and they have some really cute options. I love this velvet slip dress and this dress! Below I’ve rounded up over 10 black cocktail dresses you can rock all holiday season long.

Where do you normally shop for a good LBD? Xoxo. Lauren

On My Radar: L.L. Bean

Happy Friday, friends! I’m off to Chicago this afternoon for a short weekend. I haven’t been back since last July 4th and I’m so excited to see some of my best friends. It’s crazy to think that I started this blog back in Chicago over 5 years ago!!! Be sure to keep up-to-date with me on Instagram this weekend.

Any who, today is dedicated to L.L.Bean. My mom has been a fan of L.L. Bean since….forever and it’s only been the past two years or so I would say that I’ve really gotten in to their selection. From the classic Bean Boot to plaid flannel sheets, there is so much good stuff to shop! The L.L. Bean Monogram Tote is also a must-have in my book. They come in various sizes and you can either monogram your initials or have your entire name spelled out on the tote. Both look super cute in my opinion!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Normally I would say #GoCubsGo but I have to root for Cleveland this weekend. <3

Fall Wardrobe Must-Haves
0

The weather in New York has been all over the place. This past weekend we had rain and high winds on Saturday and Sunday was a perfect fall day – sunshine all day! It certainly can be hard to dress this time of year – never really knowing what to expect from the weather. If you’re unsure how to build a fall wardrobe, I’ve rounded up a few key pieces that you can wear rain or shine!

One. A classic trench coat is a fall wardrobe #1 must-have in my opinion. I picked up my first trench in college and still have it 7 years later! Two. Hunter rain boots – perfect for rain or snow when the weather turns unpredictable during the cooler months! Three. Wide brim hat – An easy fall accessory that will help you dress up any fall look! Four. Flannel/plaid shirts – perfect for weekend wear. Five. A classic white/cream sweater. Six. A fleece popover – Patagonia is my favorite! Throw it on to go to the gym, run errands, to the grocery, you name it! Seven – Over-the-knee boots. I invested in my first pair of Stuart Weitzman two years ago and still wear them all the time each fall! If you don’t want to spend the money, try this pair for around $100 dollars first! Eight. A camel coat. Take a peek at 9 more camel pieces that will perfectly your fall wardrobe. Ten – Chelsea bootie. I picked up my first pair of Sam Edelman’s chelsea bootie two years ago and wore them so much I already need a new pair!
