All Black Everythang

Sweater: H&M

Leggings: Target

Boots: DSW ($60!)

Watch: Michael Kors

Sunnies: Ray-Ban (on sale!!!)

Bag: Chanel

Rocking all black today, including my great Black Friday purchases. But first and foremost, let's discuss this Chanel(!!!).

My co-worker Alyssa is the type of fabulous I desperately aspire to be when I am securely established in my career. Think an entire closet of Theory, Ferragamo, and Prada. When I helped Alyssa score a stunning Prada handbag at nearly a $1,000 discount, she decided to thank me by offering me access to her best accessories -- like this gorgeous quilted Chanel. I probably shouldn't talk too much more about it, because once I steal it it's going to be pretty easy for her to figure out it was me.

I scored these beautiful OTK boots from DSW on Black Friday and can't wait to rock them all season. While out shopping this weekend, a store employee complimented my "beautiful Stuart Weitzmans". INSTANT VALIDATION. Not only do these beauties give off the same vibe, but they you could buy 10.5 pairs of them for the price of one pair of the original. GET TO DSW NOW.

I scooped up this beautiful MK watch from Piperlime on Black Friday to break things up from the rose gold one I've been committed to for a while. I love the gold and black combo. Prepare to see it often!

Finally, this sweater is only $14 and my sunnies are on sale at Nordstrom! Non. Stop. Shopping.

Über Cozy

Sweater: H&M 

Blouse: TJ Maxx (old)

Jeans: Hudsons via Rue La La

Shoes: Coach via TJ Maxx

Clutch: GiGi New York (30% off today for Cyber Monday!)

Cozy sweaters are a must in frigid New England so I was pumped to find this one for $24 at H&M last week. I can't find the exact one online, but did link to a very similar (and cheaper) option!

To dress this outfit up a little I layered a basic white collared blouse under the sweater -- repeating the same sweaters is a lot easier with a carousel of layers! Stay tuned for more looks this season.

Also, rocking my fav Coach pumps that I scored from TJ Maxx for a bargain and my newest handbag addition - this fabulous GiGi uber clutch.

Hope you all had a fabulous holiday weekend and best of luck heading back into reality this morning!

Blanket Statement

Sweater: H&M

Leggings: Target

Scarf: ASOS 

Boots: Alloy (old)

Sunnies: Karen Walker

Bag: Louis Vuitton

I've been trying to get my hands on the perfect massive blanket scarf for weeks and I finally found my neck warming soulmate. This beauty came from ASOS after I spotted it on several fashionistas' blogs and Instas.

On my third unnecessary shopping trip last week, I scooped up this olive sweater and can't wait to style it all winter. Olive and merlot are the two colors I can't stop gravitating toward this season.

These knee highs are quite old and from my favorite secret shoe shopping spot - Alloy. Will need to do some shopping for some more tall boots as winter comes to stay so any feedback would be appreciated!

For now, I'll get back to cocooning myself inside this scarf. I think it's permanently attached to my body now.

Autumn Vibes

Sweater: TJ Maxx

Shirt: TJ Maxx

Jeans: ℅ Vigoss

Shoes: Steve Madden

Sunnies: Ray-ban

Thanksgiving Eve -- the only night it's fun to go out in your hometown and see everyone you've ever known. I need a serious caffeine boost for this.

Today's look is simple fall basics; cable sweater, flannel, and leopard.

I can't get enough of these Vigoss Jeans -- they are super comfortable and the perfect dark hue. Also, this skinny leg is perfect for tucking into boots which is going to come in super handy this season.

This sweater is an oldie but goodie from TJ Maxx a few seasons ago, but I've linked a few similar ones below. I love the contrast of the flannel with the cream color and tying it all together with the leopard "neutral". These bright Ray-bans are great reminder of warm weather so I rely on them to help me survive the cooler New England temps that will last the next…six months.

Where are you headed tonight?!

Turkey Day Fashion

Dress: H&M

Vest: TJ Maxx

Shoes: Necessary Clothing ($20!!!)

Necklace: J. Crew Factory

Clutch: Burberry 

Sunnies: Karen Walker

Welcome to the best work week of the entire year -- only two days standing between me and all the food, friends, vino, and merriment one could ask for. 

I'm going with this merlot skater dress for turkey dinner this year, jazzed up with some faux fur and black tights. I feel it's a good combo of texture and color for these fall festivities. This dress is available at H&M right now for a mere $18 (in stores)!

This gorgeous Burberry clutch (which also becomes a cross-body) was a must-have purchase when I saw it on the Peach app and won it for almost 50% off! This J. Crew statement necklace is my go-to for dressing up any look, I've yet to find an outfit I don't love it with! It's sold out at J. Crew currently, but Bibjewelry has a great dupe!

Some things I hate: winter, freezing, cold, early darkness. Some things that help me cope: Pinot Noir.

I've been more into red wine than usual lately, probably because I can't drink it with my Invisalign adult braces in so it gives me an excuse to take them out (shhh, don't tell my dentist), but it also helps warm you up a little during these cooler FREEZING days.

Same goes for these Aldo booties with the amazing merlot detail -- warms this look right out by adding just the right seasonal touch of color.

Also, love this top that I scooped up from Forever 21 and these leggings with the fun faux leather knee detail. I got these babies from a big VS sale a few months back, but they have some similar, reasonably priced options available now.

Necklace: Bibjewelry

It's hard to compete with the gorgeous foliage in the background, so I kept things simple with a striped tee (with leather accents of course) and my fave black jeans and booties.

I added a little color with a go-to statement necklace and pushed the short sleeve about as far as I can into the season. The best part of these booties is that they have a hidden wedge, so they look flat but they don't cut my short little legs off too much! 

Also - FYI to all the trendy Boston ladies:

Dagne Dover (the designer of this gorgeous bag) will be visiting Lit Boutique on Hanover Street on Saturday for their trunk show (and debut of a new bag!) if you want to stop by!
