If there’s one trend I’m loving this winter it’s velvet! Although one fun fact about me, I actually hate the texture of velvet. Growing up I was a competitive gymnast so I lived in velvet leotards for over 12 years. To this day I can’t really touch the soft fabric but I’m really starting to love the way it looks! I actually was looking into investing in navy velvet pillows (I love these!) for my couch because I love the way they look but again, I know I wont use them so that’s out. Anywho, today I’ve rounded up over 13 velvet items you can easily add to your winter wardrobe!

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale Top Picks
It’s that time of year again – The Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale is here! I love Nordstrom’s big sales for a few different reasons. You can pick up wardrobe staples at a major discount (40% off). It’s a great time to invest in large purchases like handbags or designer shoes. And who doesn’t love a good sale? I’ve rounded up the best of dresses, shoes and women’s handbags. Tory Burch and Kate Spade both have a great selection in this year’s half yearly sale. Happy Shopping! Xo.

Madewell At Nordstrom
Greetings, ladies! Happy Thursday.
We’re almost to Friday. Yipee!!! Although we’re currently experiencing yet ANOTHER snow storm here in New York (spring, where are you?), I do have some good news! Our ever-beloved Madewell is now being sold at Nordstrom.
Living in New York has actually made me miss living close to an actual mall that has some of my favorite retailers like Nordstrom. The stores on 5th Ave can just be overcrowded with tourists that often times I steer clear. So as a result I do a lot of my shopping online. Can you blame a girl? Nordstrom is one of my go-to’s when it comes to online shopping so I’m very excited about this latest partnership with Madewell.
Much like it did in 2012 with Topshop, Nordstrom will stock a curated selection of items made by Madewell – 70 to be exact. From our classic denim favorites (hello, cute denim vest) to a light navy jacket for spring showers, Nordstrom’s selection is sure not to dissapoint.
Today I’ve curated my top picks from the current selection of products. You can shop my favorites by scrolling through using the arrows next to each image below. Happy shopping! Xo. Lauren
2014 Holiday Gift Guide: Holiday Plaid
It’s hard to believe but Thanksgiving is just weeks away! I know as soon as I step into my parents house the holiday plaid is going to be ev-ery-where. My grandfather’s old buffalo coat, hats and scarfs will be lining the entry way, the kitchen and coffee table will be topped with red plaid runners, even the holiday coffee mugs will be perfectly displayed on the open shelves. It’s safe to say my mom is slightly obsessed with the buffalo check/holiday plaid so today, mom, this gift guide is dedicated to you and every other buffalo check enthusiast! Xo. Lauren
