What I Wore | Black Friday

WhatIWore: I loved my cream and olive turtlenecks so much that I went ahead and ordered the same style in black, which I wore over our Thanksgiving trip up north to visit with family. My wardrobe these days is a lot more simple and practical which works well when getting dressed in a rush. Nothing seems more chic me now than a black t-neck and a bold red lip - whether it’s with jeans or a skirt like here.

When: Thanksgiving and Black Friday

What:
Hat: Self Made (similar here)
Lipstick: NARS ‘Red Lizard’

What I Wore Rewind | December 7

Nordstrom Rack Holiday

There are some people on my Christmas list that I know exactly what I’m going to buy for… and others are just the kind of people who seem to already have everything and leave me a little stumped. I usually seem to have the best luck when I go to a department store of some sort and just wander around. I’ll see something in the kitchen department or a gift box section and that’ll get my ideas flowing. 

This year with a three month old I doubt I’ll be getting much time to meander around the store for shopping so I’m doing just about everything online! But hey! Shopping is shopping and I actually really enjoy the process of filling up my online cart as much as physcial cart in real life. It’s a good way to see which items you really want and to tally up the total to see what extra you might be able to swing. 

Today I’m picking some of my favorite gift items from NordstromRack.com! Just like the brick and morter store, the selection varies from day to day, so I like to check in frequently. When quantities are limited, they’ll let you know how many are left so what you really want doesn’t slip through your fingers!

Here are some gift categories that I love to give!

Kids Toys It’s what Christmas is all about! I like to go for the wooden, old fashioned toys. Perfect for: sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and friend’s little ones!

Watches Men don’t get to play around with jewelry as much as women do and a guy can always use a sportier or dressier version of his everyday watch. Perfect for: dads, brothers, sons, husbands/boyfriends

Tech Accessories Know someone getting a new gadget for the Holidays? Cases, cords or a cover could be perfect! Perfect for: brother/sister-in-law, secret santa

Pajamas! As a kid my mom always gave us kids a new set of pajamas on Christmas Eve. Perfect for: sister, best friend, wife/girlfriend

What I Wore | Twinsies

WhatIWore: The red lips and big shades might scream glamorous, but this outfit actually reminds me of Adam! Five out of seven days a week he’s in a red plaid shirt and corduroys during the cold weather months so I had to give him a heads up not to match me while we got dressed this morning. On the other hand, I love coordinating outfits with Felix. So let’s talk about being matchy matchy with your baby…

When: December 7, 2014

What:
Shades: Target, older style
Necklace: Baublebar, older style (similar HERE)
Checked Plaid Button Up: J.Crew (similar HERE)
Shawl Collar Sweater: J.Crew Factory (on sale!)
Cords: J.Crew Factory (on sale!)
Bag: Vera Bradley, gift
Booties: Rag + Bone
Lips: NARS ‘Red Lizard’

Where: Breakfast with my boys, walk around the neighborhood

The other day it was matching cream sweaters, but today I put him in this. The waitress at breakfast said how she loves seeing babies dressed like adults and I have to agree! In our house, there’s always a pretty good chance Felix will be dressed to match either his mom or dad.
