A Little Bit Rusty

 

I have always liked camel colored coats and accents, and I still do. I also am liking the "rust" trend I've seen this season. We've even seen it at PAINTBASE with two of our most requested polished this fall - this one and this one.

Linking some extra rusty faves and some camel options for good measure below!

Celebrationsss

Hey guys! Wassup. So today I'm sharing something a little out-of-character for me, I HAD A BERFDAY PARTY. A few of my favorites (missing a few!) and I gathered for a birthday-turned-galentine's ish party at my friend Allison's (who y'all may know from Parlor or @Blondentrepreneurs) house mostly to celebrate my cake, which was from the amazing Milk Bar dessert haven in NYC (and LA and other neat cities) and drink rosé. Y'all not only was this cake gorgeous but it was (a good prop) and DELICIOUS. They also have the cutest little mini version for two you can order for Valentines! One of my other faves Jamie Meares of Furbish + I Suwanee fame gave the assist on styling the tablescape. Isn't it gorge? Something fun that we discussed over the course of conversation was that the placemats were Furbish from a minute ago but she styled them with new goodies which gave them new life and sparked new joy. (Speaking of placemats, these are the most.) It made me go check out what I haven't used in a while to think of new ways to style them. Anyway, another item of note, Allison is the consummate hostess and a tremendous cook so we stayed out of her way with the food - and I'm glad we did, she did this gorgeous salmon in her Instant Pot!!! If you don't know Instant Pot I suggest you hit the Googles, it's like a tiny hybrid Crockpot but it does things (safely), in like, lightning speed. It's wild. 10/10. Rounding things out were my fave rosés - Jacqueline Leonne (the BEST) and duh Yes Way Rosé. We all did fun nails over at PAINTBASE to pre-game and I feel like everyone was wonderfully on theme. I also love the cute Self Portrait mini dress I was shuffling around in - which is also PERFECT for Valentine's Day should you be celebrating it. The zipper detail and ruching make it super flattering. I'm adding a gallery of some other Valentine-inspired goodies below for your perusal. In summary, we had the best time. I so enjoyed spending some focused time with my friends talking life, being silly, throwing confetti at each other and taking a million pictures because hashtag content.

Because You're My Pony

If anyone needs context on the post title I'd like to direct you right hurr. You'll learn a lot about who I am. Anyway, I'm posting these pony sneakers everyone went nuts over on the Instagram so y'all can get the link a little easier, click here >> SNEAKERS (and they're on sale)! I actually found these by chasing down an adorable Australian girl at one of the salons to get a source on her sneakers. These are not those sneakers but the originals led me down an international rabbit hole and I found these. I'm also linking here to the same style but with all of the options. 

Some pointers:

• shipping will take a minute because they're coming from the Aussies
• I took my normal size - 36, I'm usually a 6 in U.S. sizing and can sometimes deal with a 6.5 (if it's imperative to getting the shoes)
• there is an interior platform maybe 1/2-1 inch, so you get a little lift

I absolutely give these 5 stars, would recommend. Get them, do it. 

Not Today Satan!

Since this little number has been so popular on Insta, I'm just throwing up a quick post so y'all can shop my fave "Not Today Satan" tee a little more easily!

Your New Fall Coat

Just a quick note to tell you how fantastic this jacket is. I got a size small and it's fine with a couple of layers under it. This slightly oversized-double-breasted lewk is one I've been looking out for for a few years after I missed out on a very similar style from Theory a while back. This one is well - priced and super versatile! I also LOVE the "leopard" print on the sweatshirt - it also comes in this cardi version which is wonderful. Other details include VERY good earrings and this fun (again versatile) clutch. My mani is OPI Envy The Adventure with OPI Gold Digger Chrome on top { mani by Pat at PAINTBASE Glenwood South } -> consider this mani going into the holidays!

For Your Comfort

Just me, hanging out in an abandoned warehouse being super angsty. You know what I don't have angst about? These shorts. Let me tell you why: they're lightweight, they're well-priced, they're comfortable, ELASTIC WAISTBAND, they've got pockets, they are a sane inseam and they come in many colors. I've got the "Greek Gold", the "Birch Leaf" and the "Almost Black". (AKA yellow, green and black.) I also lurve these earrings, they're both high-impact and lightweight. One other thing - you can't really see it in all it's glory, but this is my favorite summertime pedicure polish. It's fun and happy + it goes with anything. It's essentially gilver. 

Denim On Denim On Denim

So this post isn't strictly about the dang Nordstrom sale, but a couple of these items can be found there. I mainly want to tell you how much I enjoy this oversized denim jacket. And I've mentioned these shorts before too - they're fab. I'm really trying to be as full of cheesey as possible, I'm leaning into it because trying to do fashun blogging (especially at my age) can feel so forced. So I'm just gonna let that show. Enjoy me. You can shop the image above or the little carousel below! More stuff is linked in the carousel thingy. 

Nordy Neutrals

In my continued coverage of the beloved/def hated Nordstrom Anniversary sale, I'd like to report on some neato neutrals I think you'd enjoy! I really love the sort of goldenrod-y color I've been seeing lately, I think it's a nice color but can still play a kind of neutral role. I got these shorts earlier this summer in the "Greek Gold" color (and like three others) and have been living in them. (Hashtag elastic waistband). Another staple is the Madewell oversized denim jacket (pictured top left), I would make the case that it can be worn with almost anything you own. It is the Perfect throw on item, even in the hot summer I like to have something to cover my shoulders if I'm going to a restaurant or a movie. It's perfectly broken in and I think the oversized fit is a nice update. (You can also get it here if it sells out at Nordstrom.) I am not typically a culottes kinda person but I do love these windowpane plaid ones by Sea - I like the oversized cuff. Don't forget the Nordstrom sale is still in it's "Early Access" phase, meaning you can only snag stuff at the sale prices if you have a Nordstrom card (you can get one here)! Shop the faves by clicking the images above!

It's That Time Again: N SALE

So if y'all read any of the blogs (the many fashun influencer blogs) you know it's Nordstrom Anniversary sale time. People legit go bonkers over this sale. There's all kinds of fun stuff marked down, they do it in two waves basically, the "Early Access" sale for Nordstrom cardholders starts today - then all of the commoners get access on July 20th. So I'll be breaking out some of my faves in different sections. Like this post, this post right here is the "FITNESS" post. I'll have a beauty post, some fashun posts. Maybe a post for men. We'll see. It's an overwhelming sale to slog through but ideally I'm showing y'all some of the real gems. Anyway. You can shop by clicking the products above, or with the little carousel thing below. And I'll describe some faves below as well! xo and namaste and Godspeed with your sale shopping. 

Just going to highlight my faves and some other pieces not shown here!

*I personally think everyone needs either the Nike or adidas tank. I don't always love big branded stuff, but these are such iconic fitness brands that I'll allow it. These are especially great to have if you do anything like hot yoga. They're easy breezy beautiful. 

*I can't get over how cute these pants are. I also really like these running tights -- they're shiny but I kinda feel it. 

*I have the baby pink suede Gazelles, I highly recommend these guys (similar look) - comfortable and you will love them. Great to throw on for casual wear or even with a simple little dress. 

*I know it's silly but I love these socks. And my dogs eat them. So I'm constantly looking for more socks.
