Cyber week is officially here! I’m excited to see what all of the various retails offer over the next few days. In case you’re off from work today or working from home, Shopbop is having a MAJOR sale. What I love most about shopping at Shopbop is that my items always arrive quickly and they make returns super easy. Seriously, there’s nothing more I hate than online shopping then having to make a return but can only do so by going online to “start a return” and print out the shipping label. I know it sounds easy but when you’re busy at work, it’s easy to forget. Any who, I’ve rounded up everything I’ll be shopping today!

Vacation Style

My boyfriend and I are headed to the Caribbean next week so I’ve actually been shopping vacation pieces these last few weeks! What’s awesome about going on vacation his time of year is that EVERYTHING is on sale. I picked up some really cute pieces from the brand Kos Resort. I bought this Kos Resort Printed One Shoulder dress and it is sooooo cute on! I know it’s scary to buy final sale but if you’re a small to medium, I would recommend a small! Other vacation style pieces I’ve been browsing include — white dresses (love this one, this Eberjay Siena Ella Dress and this cupcakes and cashmere one), white sneakers, statement earrings, and Solid & Striped swimwear. Now is seriously one of the best times to shop designer swimwear!

What To Wear In A New York City Snow Storm
3

Happy Thursday, friends! Hope you’re staying well caffeinated this morning. I’m sure you’ve seen on the news this week that New York City (among many others) is about to get hit with a major snow storm this weekend.

I’ve experienced a snow storm or two in my day. Chicago, remember THIS blizzard from 2011?! That was fun. Anyhow, after growing up in Ohio, living in Chicago for three years, and now New York, you better believe I’ve mastered what to wear and how to look stylish in a snow storm! Let’s break it down, shall we?

What-to-wear-in-a-winter-snow-storm

Source: The August Diaries

ONE: ALL OF THE LAYERS

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years is that layers count most. I learned pretty quick after moving to Chicago that Patagonia was my new best friend. Patagonia’s outwear is simply the best – I particularly love their fleece collection. I’ve had my eye on their puff jackets for quite some time too. For a more stylish look try any of Club Monaco’s sweaters or I also love this long cardigan for a more polished look.

TWO: HATS

How cute is THIS fur hat from Topshop? There’s nothing I love more than a stylish hat.

THREE: BOOTS

There are three type of boots I’ve worn throughout various snow storms: Hunter Boots (not the best for warmth, but hey when  you’re stuck at work and those are the only boots you’ve got – you go with it!). Duck boots (more so for the minor storms). Try L.L. Bean or Sperry for my current favorites. And last but not least, SORELS. These babies are the best for serious snow.

FOUR: GLOVES

A good pair of leather gloves will never go out of style. Up your winter style factor with these black beauties with little studs.

FIVE: WARM COATS

A warm winter coat is a must!! Whether you prefer a big puffer (although I have a love hate relationship with them) OR something more stylish such as this wool coat from J.Crew, as long as your warm – that’s all that matters!!
