Silver & Gold

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I had an amazing Christmas, and I'll share some of my favorite gifts later this week, but right now I'll focus on the next holiday: New Year's Eve! With so many holidays (not to mention finals!) crammed into the month of December, it's easy to become overwhelmed. If deciding what to wear tomorrow night when the ball drops is stressing you out, hopefully the collage below can give you some inspiration! Silver and Gold are the unofficial colors of New Year's Eve. I've compiled some of my favorite pieces so you will be ready tomorrow night, whether you choose to wear silver or gold or both!

{Tommy Hilfiger} Looks for Less

It's most definitely feeling like fall, now. Starbucks has their Pumpkin Spice Latte for sale, stores are preemptively putting out Christmas decorations, and the flu is spreading around campus like mad. You're hearing from it's latest victim. Seriously, I've been in bed for the past few days and I've missed class (not to mention a very important exam that the Prof won't let me make-up). I hope none of you have fallen victim! But enough whining from me... Onto today's Looks for Less!

Today's Looks for Less is inspired by Tommy Hilfiger. I am obsessed with pretty much everything TH #itsaproblem, but the way they paired the chevron dress with the blazer? It's the perfect way to transition into the cooler weather we've been having. Don't get me wrong- navy is my favorite color- but I think the red and black could really bring this look into the wintery months. This outfit would look really cute at a holiday party, on a date with your special someone, or even just a weekend shopping spree with the girls. The outfit is very versatile and I love that! Not to mention the argyle socks the model is wearing: #socute



Items featured in today's Looks for Less:

 

TH Corduroy New York Solid Blazer // XOXO One-Button Blazer

TH Classic Oxford Shirt // Poplin Button Front Shirt

TH Chevron Stripe Shift Dress // Chevron Shift Print Dress

{Tommy Hilfiger} Looks for Less

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! I'm so glad the weather has sorted itself out and decided to feel like autumn again. Anyone following me on Pintrest can tell that I am fully embracing fall!

 

Today's Looks for Less is inspired by Tommy Hilfiger's Surely You Vest look. I just love the color combinations in this outfit. Navy, orange, green. Perfect fall colors! The original outfit isn't even that expensive, but if you are looking for something cheaper, here is an alternative. I think the navy turtleneck with the green vest on their own would look very nice, as well.

 

Items featured on today's Looks for Less:

Tommy Hilfiger Green Puffer Vest // Gap Warmest Puff Vest

Tommy Hilfiger Vertical Colorblock Turtleneck // Liz Claiborne Top

Tommy Hilfiger Slim Chino // The Diva Old Navy Jeans

a.n..a Racerback Tank Top

How to: Relaxing Sundays

I don't know about you guys, but I have a fairly stressful week. Full of homework, exams, chores, etc. Because of my busy schedule, I like to start the week off on a good note. Relaxing Sundays are the perfect solution. I know that not everyone will have time to do all of the things on this list, but trying to work in even one of these ideas at the beginning of the week can have a huge impact on how the rest of the week goes.

Things you will need:

1. Candles

 I am absolutely in love with Yankee Candle's French Vanilla scented candle. It is the perfect relaxing scent. I don't know what it is about candles (especially vanilla scented ones) that instantly relaxes me, but somehow they do. candles can totally set my mood, however I am feeling. I keep a lime scented one on my desk at home to keep me feeling awake and alert.

2. Chick flick

Full Disclosure: The Notebook is my guilty pleasure. It is pretty much the epitome of "chick flick". It's got romance, controlling mothers, and who doesn't love Ryan Gosling? Chick flicks are great ways to distress with a group of girl friends.

3. Nail polish

 Red nail polish is a classic. Right now, I am loving Essie's For the Twill of it nail polish color. Having your nails look nice all week is a great way to keep your spirits up. If you look good, you feel good!

4. A good book

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has got to be my all time favorite book, but any good book will work for this. Taking the time to distance yourself from electronics and escape into the world of the book is seriously my favorite way to relax.

5. Bubble bath

There's just something about bubbles that brings out the little giggling kid in everyone. Seriously, you can't be stressed out when you are surrounded by bubbles. Philosophy's French Vanilla Bean all in one bubble bath is my favorite. Pour some of that into the water and take a trip back to childhood. You could even combine #1 and #5 and have a candle lit bath! Let me tell you, that is super relaxing.

What are your favorite ways to relax?

{Kate Spade} Looks for Less

Today is the first post in my Looks for Less series. I will take a designer's ad and find cute yet affordable alternatives to get the same look. Today's look is inspired by Kate Spade's Eryn coat! I am absolutely, 100%, head-over-high-heels for this coat. I wish I could spend $698 on a coat like that, and I'm guessing that a lot of you do too. If you can afford the $1552 price tag on the actual Kate Spade outfit, by all means buy it! It is currently my favorite Kate Spade outfit. But, if you can't, you may want to try to get the same look for less. Just follow my recommendations and you can get the same Kate Spade look for only $142!

Items featured in today's Looks for Less:

Kate Spade Bow Sweater //Worthington V Neck Pullover Sweater

Kate Spade Eryn Coat // Worthington A Line Coat

Kate Spade Coreen Skirt // H&M Jersey Skater Skirt

Kate Spade Mixer Heels // Aerosole Beckon Flats

What is your favorite Kate Spade look?
