Nordstrom Winter Style

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

I hear it snowed in Texas. 

Just when it was starting to feel like maybe spring was finally on it’s way back, winter said, lol jk!

Since I’m in New England, I’m used to the snow, and honestly I don’t hate having an excuse to keep wearing (or buying) winter style clothes. 

Typically, I go for knit sweaters and jeans.  But since, like so many of us, my work from home mindset has started to shift to be a little more casual than usual,  I’ve started incorporating even more athleisure winter style pieces into my wardrobe. 

Athleisure wear doesn’t have to be workout clothes, but at the same time, also can be. The main thing is to be comfortable, while still feeling chic. 

I love pairing pieces that you’d wear post-workout, like this sweatshirt, with elevated basics. And even though I would never exercise in faux leather leggings, they work so well with my outfit.

And because of all the snow everyone seems to be getting, boots are a must! I’m really loving the lug boot style right now. This particular style also comes in black leather and cognac suede. Of course, after getting mine, I have the other two colors on my wish list, and possibly getting the next time I have Nordstrom Notes, which you earn points towards when you shop, and can use to spend with Nordstrom later, when you sign up for The Nordy Club.

How are you staying warm in all the snow we’re getting this season?

Two Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas

Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas

Valentine’s Day this year, like so many other things, is looking different than it has in the past.  Andrew and I tend not to go all out for most holidays, but last year we enjoyed a candlelit dinner for two at Ciao Bella in the North End of Boston. I’d hoped that (or at least something similar to it) would be a new tradition for us. This Valentine’s Day, however, we will be continuing to stay home. And having a candlelit dinner for two in the comfort of our apartment, with delivery. 

But just because Valentine’s Day won’t be the same this year, that doesn’t mean that you can’t dress for it! I mean, will probably be in sweats all day, to be honest, but if I were going to dress up, here are two Valentine’s Day outfits that I would wear.

The first look is actually inspired by The Everygirl. They’d featured it in an article titled, 7 Non-Cheesy Outfits for Every Valentine’s Day Occasion. It was the suggested what to wear for a casual date with you long-term boo. And honestly they nailed it! This look is exactly what I would wear out with Andrew. I switched up the red satin top style a bit, for a slightly sexier vibe. And ditched the chain belt, because I forgot I had a purse chain strap I could use. 

For the second of my Valentine’s Day outfits, I wanted to share something that is a little bit more of what people have in mind when they think of Valentine’s Day looks. A little white dress (that I’ve worn before, and was excited for the excuse to wear it again) and a pop of red! I love these heels and with the dress it’s just such a cute dressier look to wear to celebrate love.

How dressy will your V-Day attire be or are you keeping it very low key? Let me know in the comments below!

Nordstrom New Arrivals

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

So far this year is all about new! New president, new hair tools, new arrivals, and new markdowns.

One of the easiest ways to stay on top of what’s in, is to shop new arrivals. That’s exactly what I did to score this entire outfit. Feminine detailed sweaters and wide leg jeans are two trends I can get behind, mostly because they’ll never really go out of style. 

What makes these jeans stand out to me is the distressed details, which are not unheard of, but not nearly as common to find with wide leg jeans as they are with skinny or mom style jeans.

High heeled boots are always a timeless staple, but finding them in the perfect shade of brown is goals.

And if you’re looking for the perfect leather jacket, Nordstrom has my two of my favorites!

All of this pairs all too perfectly with a dainty, but stylish, necklace. I found a few that I love and plan to keep in my rotation. You can always layer a few to add a little more edge to your look.

You may have noticed that these jeans are long! I kind of like them this way, but what I really like is that if I want, I can get them altered for free as one of the many perks of The Nordy Club.

What do you think, should I leave them or get them hemmed?

Nordstrom X UGG

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

Ugg boots are iconic. And this holiday season you can catch me inside, in head to toe Ugg. That’s right, UGG has so much more than the boots we all know and love them for!

In addition to their boots, I love their slippers, but did you know that they also have loungewear and the coziest sweaters? It’s the leggings for me. This pair is double knit, so they really keep you warm when you have to step outside. 

These two looks are perfect for staying in, and most likely what you’d find me in, on my couch or on a quick coffee run. I styled the UGG Fuzzy Logo Sweatshirt here with jeans, but they would go just as great with leggings, lounge pants, or joggers. And UGG has you covered for outerwear as well, with jackets and coats that you can bundle up in. 

Staying in all day? I love my Phoebe Wrap Cardigan, which can also be worn as a robe over one of the UGG pajama sets.
The best part? UGG is available right at Nordstrom, so if you’re signed up for The Nordy Club, you can take advantage of all your free perks, and earn points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, which you can use to buy even more UGG goodies later!

Nordstrom Made Brands Cold Weather Outfit

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

It may not be winter yet, but it is certainly starting to feel like it is. I’ve switched from graphic tees to graphic sweatshirts, and adding (faux) leather and layers to my looks, to make them more cold weather friendly.

With Nordstrom brands, I’ve been able to find the perfect pieces to stay warm as the weather gets colder.

This outfit, which is a new favorite of mine, is all Nordstrom brands!

Graphic tees make up a majority of my tops. Layering them can be cute, but isn’t always the warmest option. Finding graphic sweatshirts has really allowed me to stay true to my style, even when the weather tries to cramp my style. This Treasure & Bond sweatshirt is amazing because it’s a band sweatshirt, but I also really like their non-band options.

Faux and vegan leather is trending in a big way this season, and while I love rocking a pair of faux leather leggings, these Halogen x Atlantic Pacific pants are it for me.

As for layering, a coat is going to be a must real soon, but for the time being, a good jacket can work just fine. To keep my look casual, I went with this quilted longline Zella bomber jacket. It’s both warm and cute!

If you’re shopping Nordstrom brands, or even just at Nordstrom in general, you should seriously sign up for The Nordy Club! It’s free to join and you earn points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, which you can use to spend with Nordstrom later. Nordstrom also has free shipping and returns, as well as curbside pickup, so they’ve really got you covered.

Which way will you be keeping your outfits cozy?

cabi Cardigans

Disclaimer: This post is in partnership with cabi.

It snowed. In New England. In October. 

Not that it’s the end of the world or even all that shocking. It just leads me to believe that this winter is going to for sure be a cold one. Until then, fall will more than likely consist of unpredictable weather changes, keeping us on our toes.

But this year I’m ready for it!

Cabi’s Fall 2020 Collection included a really great selection of cardigans, which happen to be my most worn style of sweater. Since they’re perfect for layering and easy to take off, when you start to feel a little too warm, and if you are traveling, they’re the must have sweater to bring along.

I personally have three of the cabi cardigans, and each of them creates its own unique look when styled with the cabi high skinny jeans and a basic white top. 

Coffee Shop Cardigan
Slant Pocket Cardigan
Travel Cardigan

I’ve mentioned it before, but one of the things I love most about cabi, outside of the incredible community they have, is the quality of the pieces. And it is no different with each of these cabi cardigans. Which cabi cardigan is your favorite and how would you style it for fall?

Fall Boot Must-Haves

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

I know I already shared my fall must haves, but I wanted to get a little more specific. Yes, it’s sweater weather, but for me, fall really means boot season!

In addition to OTK boots and ankle boots, which are clearly my current fall closet footwear staples, there are two other pairs of boots that I feel are absolutely essential to keep in rotation as the temperatures start to drop.

Dress: Alice + Olivia | Boots: Dr. Martens | Necklace: Kate Spade

COMBAT BOOTS

90s grunge is trending in such a major way right now. As someone who definitely dresses more on the casual side, I’ve surprised even myself with the fact that I’ve never owned a pair of Dr. Martens before. I really like how solid they are and feel confident that they will do great in the snow, and from what I’ve heard they are super durable and last for years. I’m still getting comfortable with styling them but I’m so glad to finally have a pair. I’m even considering getting another pair in white.

Cardigan: Madewell | Jeans: Madewell | Boots: Ugg | Bag: Madewell | T-Shirt: Daydreamer | Earrings: Madewell (similar)

COMFY BOOTS

For the most part I’m still staying home. A pair of boots that I can either wear around my apartment or to quickly take out the dog are an absolute must for me. Yes, I have a pair of Birkenstocks for that, but the weather has been getting cooler, especially in the early morning and late at night, which is when I’m out with Koda. I now keep this pair of Ugg mini boots right by my entryway, so I can quickly slip them on and go! Unlike the Dr. Martens, this isn’t my first pair of Uggs. I also have a pair of black one, just not a pair of the Classic Mini boots. For cozy warm vibes these boots are perfection.

The best part of it all is that I’ve been able to find all my fall footwear at Nordstrom! They have free shipping and returns as well as curbside pickup. And with The Nordy Club, you earn points for every dollar you spend and get exclusive access to specific brands.

Nordstrom Summer Style

Disclaimer: This post is in partnership with Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

Summer may look a little different this year, but trust me when I say that it is far from cancelled.

So many people prefer fall to summer, especially when it comes to fashion. I personally, have always been and will probably always be team summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love fall fashion, but summer style has a very special irreplaceable spot in my heart.

Which is why I’m elated to share that I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle again! This time to share my Nordstrom summer style picks.

Growing up, I didn’t have the most positive self image. So, it makes me happy to have found not only my voice, but some much needed self love. That’s probably why I love summer style so much, it allows me a chance to show off my body, on my terms. 

I love that Nordstrom carries Free People since the sense of whimsy the label carries embodies the sense of casual whimsy that I enjoy about summer. This bodysuit is the color of the sun and features a deep plunge, which I am all about!

Not styling this look with a good distressed pair of denim shorts, would be insane to me. These are too perfect and the fact that they are not only under $100, but also come in several different colors makes them the ideal piece for any summer wardrobe.

As for the shoes, Free People makes the softest leather sandals and shoes. I own at least four pairs and was just ecstatic to find these and these similar ones!

Don’t even get me started on the Nordstrom jewelry collection… I love Madewell and Gorjana for earrings and necklaces, and Nordstrom has both.

I know this is a style post, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to share that all the makeup I’m wearing is available at Nordstrom too, so I’ll also make sure to link to what I used!

Oh, and in case you missed it in my last post, Nordstrom has free shipping and returns as well as curbside pickup and The Nordy Club, with which you earn points for every dollar you spend and get exclusive access.

1 Band Tee Styled 3 Different Ways

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

I’m pretty sure that the one item I have the most of is now graphic tees. Even more specifically, band tees. They are without a doubt something that I do not need more of. And yet, when I saw this Queen one on a mannequin in Nordstrom, I knew that even if I didn’t leave with it that day, it would eventually be mine.

I was not wrong.

And I’ve been wearing it more than you might believe, considering how many different ones I also own.

These three looks were the first three ways I’ve worn it, other than with sweatpants.

Which look is your favorite, 1, 2 or 3?

Casual Cool Winter Outfit

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

I’ve said it before, but Anine Bing is ultimate style goals for me. She is the definition of casual cool girl style that I tend to strive for.

That being said, I don’t own a ton from her collection. The pieces that I do have, I love beyond a doubt and know that I’ll wear countless ways.

My newest addition is this tiger sweatshirt. I’ve only worn it once so far, but I loved how effortlessly cool I felt in my outfit the day I wore it. Nothing fancy, but chic nonetheless.

How would you describe your style goals and who embodies that for you?
