I am really excited to share my feature on the Farfetch fashion feed with you all! I shared some insight on how I like to style Birkenstocks, a shoe I have been familiar with since I was a little girl and would wear my mom’s pair!
It’s time again, SHOPBOP IS HAVING ANOTHER SALE! This is always one of my favorites because this is the perfect time to stock up on so many pieces from some of my favorite brands. Spring is right around the corner so this is the perfect time to start getting a start on pieces for warmer weather. I wanted to quickly share a few pieces from brands that I currently have my eye on for the sale!
Ok so a couple weeks ago, my mom and I went to my favorite thrift store. Like most places, it can be hit or miss and after looking around a bit…this jacket was the only thing I found. The line to check out was SUPER long and I was contemplating if the jacket was worth waiting in line for. But something told me if I would have left it behind, I would have regretted it. And I was right. I LOVE THIS COAT. I have been wearing it so much lately. I love the mix of styles it gives off. Reminds me of something a french girl in the 60s would wear, or one of the cast members of Friends in the 90s. It’s definitely one of my favorite finds to date.
It’s honestly been so nice getting back into vintage shopping and thrifting again. When I first started my blog, I would go ALL the time but as time went on and I enrolled in college, I had less time to pick through the racks. I’ve been getting more inspired again with vintage clothes and it’s the best feeling. It feels like I found myself again! It’s just nice finding pieces that feel true and authentic to me.
I’ve had the worst luck lately when it comes to dresses. I just haven’t been really loving anything I’ve seen online until I saw this silky beauty! I first saw this dress a couple months ago when I thought I would be going to LA for a holiday dinner event but then had family plans come up. But I couldn’t stop thinking about this dress! I finally ordered it last week after deciding to plan a holiday outfit blog post and I am SO glad I finally bought it! I know the images here make it look like it’s a gold/yellow color but it’s more of a green color in person. It’s so soft and feels so expensive.
The best thing about this dress is all of the things you can wear it to! It would be great for thanksgiving, if you dress up for that sort of thing (I’m usually in my comfiest outfit so that I can eat my body weights worth of food for the day lol) but it would be so perfect for any sort of holiday party or event you have coming up. OR if you need a NYE dress, this is perfect! Especially since most of us dress up for NYE, short dresses are always SO cold, a maxi is ideal. Then this dress would easily be great for spring as well. Honestly, if this dress needed a spokesperson, I would do that job. Lol I just haven’t been this excited about a dress in awhile and I was so excited to share it with all of you. It really is the perfect holiday dress!
I hope it’s not too soon to be serving up FULL FALL OUTFITS but it was 59 degrees in Portland today and rainy so here we are! I am ready to share fall looks! My fall inspo and mantra this year is just to take it easy. Basics are my best friends and mixing and matching pieces is all I really want to do. Even a checkered or plaid coat to me feels like a basic or as staple piece. There’s just nothing like a good pair of jeans and a checkered coat to really complete your fall uniform. What’s been your current fall uniform?
Another thing I really have on my radar more this year are chunky, bulky boots! I really love the tomboy/masculine feel they can give a look. These ones are just teetering on the edge of being a chunky boot so they would be great if you’re curious about trying out the trend for yourself.
