Quilted Vest

Hello ladies! Did everyone make it out from the snow storm this past weekend? We got a decent amount and then it turned icy--not great for driving! I'm so excited to share these pics from Darts Tree Farm! I love nature and being outside and shooting these around the holidays was great. I wanted to stay festive so I chose this red turtleneck from Express and this white vest from Old Navy. I think these two colors just pop against each other. I topped it off with this scarf that has a mix of red and green in it and loved the outcome. This weekend I am off to Boston and will be doing a post on where I stayed, ate, and shopped so stay tuned! Have a fabulous day!!

OTK Boots

Hey All! Only one more weekend until Christmas is here! Yay!!! I will miss the Christmas music though once the holiday is over. Ha! Anyone else obsessed with Christmas music like I am? I love it! These next few weeks are going to be busy ones. I have been trying to finish last minute Christmas shopping this week and probably will go into the beginning of next week. I had my work holiday party last night. Tonight I have to make a dessert for my friends Christmas party this weekend. Nonstop I tell ya!!! 

So on to these gorgeous OTK boots from DSW! Obviously this is a big trend as these boots have been everywhere! I was dying for a pair and finally decided to go with the black ones. I have been eyeing up the burgundy ones too! The black for me is very useful as it goes with a lot of my wardrobe since I do own a lot of black. What?? I am a New Yorker! LOL I love the ties in the back and how these boots can transform an outfit. They can go with anything--jeans, skirts, dresses! I wore them last weekend with a black turtleneck and gold sequined skirt and it looked awesome! I am telling you, if  you haven't bought a pair yet, go now! I don't think you'll regret it!! :)

Light Blue + Grey

Hi all!! Everyone ready for the weekend?! So glad it's Friday. Today's post is once again about my favorite store Bevello. I got this cozy sweater and jeans from there a few weeks back. I was dying to get a pair of grey jeans and finally found ones I liked. The white jacket I'm wearing is also from Bevello. I bought it last year and guess what....it's still available!!!  They have such great stuff there, can you not tell?! The sweater is super soft and even thought it says light blue in the description, to me it looks more like a light grey. I love the high/low style...to me it never gets old. I paired it with these distressed jeans from Paige that I absoultely love. The black crossbody and booties from DSW give it a little more edge while the white jacket keeps it refreshed.

I find so many things here at such great prices. Right now there is free shipping on everything!! AND for a limited time there is Buy 1 Get 1 50% off on all scarves, hats, and gloves!!

Grey & Burgundy

Hello all!!

Hope everyone's week is going well! Can you believe it is December already?! I have things planned basically every weekend which is a little crazy but exciting at the same time. Has anyone started Christmas shopping yet? I did about 1/3 so far. 

So I have mentioned in prior posts about the store Bevello that I visit once a year in NC when I go see my dad. There are none around me here on Long Island so when I visit, I literally go crazy with a bunch of stuff. Yes, they have a website but I'm one of those people that prefers to try stuff on first rather than winging it online. I can vary in sizes depending on the designer and how I like things to fit. So on my recent yearly visit I got a few things that I'm starting to share on the blog. Up first, is this gorgeous cabernet vest by Thread & Supply. I actually got the same one last year in Navy. If you haven't noticed since the late summer, I'm on a maroon/burgundy/cabernet...whatever name you want to use...kick!  I can't seem to get enough of this color!! I also got this grey turtleneck by French Connection. It's on the heavier side which is great when I don't want to wear a jacket. Unfortunately, I can't find this turtleneck on the site anymore, but I will include some similar items below. I also wanted to mention that these photos were shot at Paumanok Vineyards. We have some beautiful wineries out by me and I finally got to take advantage of when it was quiet and get some great shots.

Sleeveless Trench Vest

Hello girls! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! It was definitely much needed time off. I acutally went out on Black Friday to the mall and it wasn't too bad. As it got later in the afternoon, it started to get busier...and then I started to think I should have gone out earlier in the morning. Oh well..always next year! I did score a couple deals so I was happy with that. What was your best deal? Let me know in the comments!

Soooo with that said....on to this gorgeous green vest I'm wearing. The good news....it's from Target and at a great price!! The not so good news....it's only available in store. Ugghhh! Sorry!! I had bought it in store so I didn't realize that it wasn't available online until doing this post. I really hate that and not sure why stores do that. Does anyone really know why they do that?? So the link that I provide for this vest is just to show you size options, the brand, and you can plug your zip code to find it at your nearest store. As you all are aware I love green so I was so excited to see this especially in a vest form. I've become a little obsessed with vests this past season. I bought three! I guess you could say I'm really liking this trend. This vest is a little heavier so it is perfect for a fall day with a sweater or turtleneck like I have on. It actually ended up being a lot warmer than expected on the day these photos were shot. It literally got up to about 80 degrees. You can see that my sleeves were pushed up which I really meant to have them down... you know...because I was creating the fall look. Oops!! haha
