Eat Play Dress

It's been a bit since I last posted here, but I do hope you have been following along on my Instagram and LIKEtoKNOW.it. Especially, since I have been sharing a lot of exclusive content on my LIKEtoKNOW.it. Be sure to follow me there for my current favorite pieces and lots of outfit inspiration. 

I am excited though to be back here posting this What To Wear Wednesday post! In the spring and summer, I really gravitate towards dresses because they are just so easy. You just pair them with some accessories and are ready to go. This smocked dress is the perfect example and a great piece to add to your wardrobe for spring and summer. I love it so much that I had to share with you two ways - dressed up and dressed down!

This outfit was inspired by this cream sweater. I immediately fell in love with the details on this sweater. The puff sleeve and eyelet are just so pretty. To mix things up, I paired the sweater with some flare jeans and think they add a slight retro vibe. This is an outfit that works now in the dead of winter and will still feel fresh come spring.

I am launching a new series today called "What To Wear Wednesday." In the series, I will post a new outfit collage every Wednesday inspired by my current favorite pieces. I think this series will give you a glimpse of what pieces I am loving as of late and how to style them, plus provide you with outfit inspiration from pieces you may already have in your closet. 

With that, let's talk about this weeks outfit. I LOVE this look! It's chic and refreshing with it's muted, light tones. It feels fresh in the cold weather and like you are willing Spring to come though it is still freezing outside. It's what I wish I was wearing on this cold, overcast winter day.

Banana Republic already started their Black Friday sale and everything is 50%. They have so many great pieces right now that I had to share some of my favorites that I've gotten for myself and others that are great gift ideas. I've already picked up this sweater and these pants and am also eyeing these neutral booties - so chic! I think these slippers, any of their jewelry (I especially love this and this), these gloves, and this hat are such great gift ideas. I know I would love to receive any of them!

The Shopbop Sale is here and it's a great opportunity to save up to 25% on items! Recently, I have been really focused on investing in classic, quality pieces that I know I will have for years and years, so I thought I'd share some of my all time favorite pieces that are part of the sale. I've owned Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots for years and every year they are a fall/winter staple for me. This bodysuit is amazing quality and I love to wear it with skirts and layered under dresses. These jeans are my favorite pair of blue skinnies. And, this bag and headband are both so chic.

Sugar Paper for Target is one of my all time favorite collaborations. My friends know I obsess over this collection every year! I love the aesthetic of the designs and that while collection is technically for the holidays, the gift boxes, gift bags, and wrapping paper for the most part can be used year round because the color combos are so classic. I am especially loving the new blue color they have this year. 

As this years collection has already launched on Target’s website, I thought I would share my favorites now as items often sell out. Also, as I said before many of the items can be used year round, so while you are buying something from a Christmas collection now, you can actually use it now as well. See below for all my favorites from the collection! 

P.S. Sugar Paper also has an office collection at Target. How fabulous are this, this, this and these?!?

Bloomingdale's Cashmere

I love cashmere sweaters and though they are an investment, I find my cashmere sweaters last so much longer than other sweaters in my closet. I have had a number of cashmere sweaters for years and they still look like new. Yes, from time to time I do need to remove pills (this tool works great to do that), but it's so easy. 

Over the years I have tried cashmere from numerous brands and I have found that the Bloomingdale's private label brands produce the BEST quality for the price point. Their cashmere is soft, comes in both basic and fashion/novelty styles, and the quality is similar to cashmere twice the price. The two Bloomingdale's private label brands are C by Bloomingdale's and Aqua Cashmere and right now they are ON SALE with the Bloomingdale's Friends & Family sale. The sale is such a good opportunity to invest in a couple of pieces. I have rounded up some of my favorite pieces above with even more favorites linked below. The sale runs through Sunday, October 12th, so be sure to check it out before it ends!

With fall officially here, I have been craving moody tones and have especially been drawn too this cinnamon brown tone. Whether the color is represented with one piece in a look or is a whole monochromatic look of the shade, it is giving me all the cozy, fall vibes. From comfortable sneakers to this chic slip skirt, there is a piece for every wardrobe. See below for even more of my favorite cinnamon pieces!

I have been really into more muted, sage greens as of late and think the color is such a good transitional color as we move from Summer to Fall. I've pulled together some of my favorite pieces in this color along with some classic nude pieces that would look so good with these items. This chunky sweater looks so cozy and would look amazing with jeans and these booties. This tunic dress has the prettiest fabric and could be dressed up with this headband, clutch, and earrings. I've rounded up even more favorites below!

With the official start of Fall just around the corner, I rounded up some of my favorite Fall items. I am loving this black dress that could be worn on its own or layered with a blazer or moto jacket. This blazer is casual enough to wear with jeans. These booties are a Fall staple. This headband is the perfect accessory, and this candle reminds me of Le Labo, but at a much better price. Check out even more favorites below!

Summer Favorites


With about a month left of summer, I want to share my most loved items this summer. These are the pieces I wore/used over and over again, using them multiple times a week if not everyday. They are the items that have become staples in my closet and home. 

COS Black Cotton Dress - I love the idea of elevated basics and this dress is just that. There are lot's of options for a swing cotton dress these days and the details on this one make it extra special. From the scoop back to the slight waist definition, it's the dress I keep throwing on. 

LarLiving Straw Tote - I picked up this tote at the beginning of summer thinking I'd use it for the farmer's market, but it quickly became the bag I used for everything. I love that it has both long and short straps and is big without being giant (I have the medium size).  

Target Sandals - These sandals are similar to the Birkenstock Eva sandal but at a better price point. They are easy to slip on and I wear them for everything from taking out the trash to running errands. They are also super comfy. 

Royal Copenhagen Mug - I have admired Royal Copenhagen dishes for years, so when I learned the modern day 2nd wedding anniversary gift was china, I told my husband I wanted a few pieces from the brand. One of those items was this set of mugs. I have been using them everyday for my morning tea and just love how they look. 

Milky Oolong Tea - I first tried this tea a few months back and quickly fell in love with it's velvety texture. It's been my go-to tea in the morning all summer long.

I love the look of a printed tunic in the summer. It's chic and effortless and works for beach days to evenings out with just a change of accessories. I recently came across this tunic and love the shorter length and boho vibe. For daytime, I'd pair it with slide sandals and a straw bag and in the evening, I'd wear it with statement earrings and strappy sandals.

Pearls have been on trend for the past couple of seasons and they don't seem to be going away anytime soon. I love the classic and feminine touch they add to any look or item and have rounded up some of my favorite pieces. From this pretty cardigan I'd pair with a skirt or jeans to these slides and handbag with a more laidback vibe to this headband that's the perfect finishing touch to an outfit, these items make it easy to pull off this trend.

With summer officially here, I am all about simple summer dressing and neutral accessories make that easy. I love the casual but chic feel of straw/raffia accessories and white in the summer. They also go with just about anything. 

This tote is perfect for the farmers market and has both long and short straps. This wicker bag is so cute and looks similar to premium designer wicker bags, but at a fraction of the price. I've had this clutch for years and always use it in the summer. These flat sandals are cute and look super comfy. And, this headband is the perfect finishing accessory to a summer look.
