Loungewear for every budget!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been living in loungewear as of late. Joggers are the new jeans, sweatshirts and long sleeved tees have replaced my sweaters. Funny enough, I actually left NYC to go on vacation to Florida right as soon as they were starting to shut the city down and telling companies to work from home.

I was planning on coming back to NYC in a week for a doctor’s appointment, but I actually ended up changing it to a practice in Florida instead. I didn’t have to leave after a week which is great, however that meant when my parents rental was inevitably over, we would head back to cold and rainy Rhode Island.

I didn’t really pack many clothes for a cool climate, because I didn’t think I was going to need them! So I took this as a chance to order some new clothes to just hang out in, as well as look at all my options out there (I love a good sale!)

Below I’ve rounded up some of the best I’ve seen out there in the last few weeks.

Old Navy Picks:

Hoodie / Joggers / 3-pack of socks / Sneakers

J.Crew Factory Picks:

Scrunchie / Tank Top / Joggers / Slippers

GAP Picks:

Sweatshirt / Bralette / Shorts 

Lululemon Picks:

Scuba Hoodie / Trapeze Tank / Align Crop

Top 5 best white sneakers

The weather outside the past few days has me thinking spring! My roommate from college’s family has a fundraiser every year around this time in honor of her sister and for her memorial foundation. It always makes me feel like spring is around the corner since it used to be just before our spring break in college.

Although in my opinion, white sneaker season is every season, spring is upon us. The perfect season to sport some new white kicks! I found myself wanting a refresh of white sneakers, as its been awhile since I’ve updated my collection.

I’m a big sneaker girl, so I’m happy that sneakers are “in style” now. I’m trying to think about what shoes I wore before the more casual sneaker look was back in style! I did have some pairs in high school, but not as many as I do now. I was really into Sperry’s, Jack Rogers sandals and these L.L. Bean moccasins for awhile… (honestly, still into these moccasins).

Here is a list of my top 5 white sneakers:

Soludos Ibiza Platform Sneaker

The Ibiza Platform Sneakers are my newest purchase, which I got on sale at ShopBop! I love the Soludos brand and I’ve seen their sneakers in person a few times, so I thought this platform look was perfect for spring/summer!

Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars

A timeless classic, I’ve had a pair of Converse for years. They seem to go with everything, all. year round. I love pairing it with jeans, a dress, or even for going out at night when I don’t want to be too dressy.

Adidas Stan Smith’s

As a gift to myself, I got these green Stan Smith’s after I climbed to the top of the Duomo in Florence in 2016. Rewarding a climb with some new shoes seemed right to me! I basically never took them off after I bought them, and they are so beat up from year’s of wear. Definitely worth the investment, and I will be reinvesting as soon as I can give my old pair up!

Fila Panache 19 Sneakers

While I was not a fan of the Fila “dad” sneaker trend, I really love the look of these Fila Panache 19’s! Simple and plain, I love the slight platform look. I just purchased these during the ShopBop sale with my Soludos.

Superga Platform Sneakers

Another classic white sneaker, Superga’s are great for spring/summer! The non-platform version are also another great choice.

Madewell Fall Favorites

Madewell is having a 25% off sale right now for new fall arrivals and fall favorites! I am definitely going to be shopping, so I thought I would share some of my favorite sale items on the blog. Some things are classic Madewell items, and some are similar to what I already have from years past. I will definitely include some wish list items as well!

I’m really ready for fall clothing at this point, but at the same time I’m not ready to let summer go. While the temperature will still be relatively warm for a few more weeks, here’s to wishing for sweaters and jeans! There are a bunch of great sales going on during this transitional time though, so don’t be afraid to shop fall now.

Use code “PUMPKINSPICE” at check out for the 25% off!

ARDEN V-NECK PULLOVER SWEATER

Loving this color for fall/winter. I am excited to start wearing this sweater to work/on the weekends!

9″ MID-RISE SKINNY JEANS IN LUNAR WASH: TENCEL™ DENIM 

You can’t go wrong with a pair of dark jeans and a fun sweater. I love this 9″ rise from Madewell.

KENT STRIPED CARDIGAN SWEATER IN COZIEST YARN

Another favorite version of this style, I have something very similar which I’ve included in this round up as well. Comfy, cozy and very fall!

PASSAGE JACKET

Anything olive green is my jam. This utility-looking coat is chic and functional!

10″ HIGH-RISE SKINNY JEANS IN HAYES WASH

My Madewell jeans have lasted forever! Mine are just starting to get holes in the thigh area, and I need to upgrade this year as I can’t have my inner thighs popping out at work hahaha.

KENT COLORBLOCK CARDIGAN SWEATER IN COZIEST YARN

I also have this from last year in camel and gray, and I already can’t wait to wear it this year. Super cozy and the color block detail makes it spice up a pair of jeans and a simple tee.

THOMPSON POCKET PULLOVER SWEATER IN COLORBLOCK

I have this same sweater in navy and gray from last year and I LOVE the pocket. Size up for a more oversized feel. I got an XS last year and it fit slightly more cropped.

COURTYARD RUFFLE-HEM TOP IN METALLIC PLAID

This top is perfect for the transitional period where it’s still warm, but you want to dress for fall! Plaid and flowy, in addition to being really cute.

THE MEDIUM TRANSPORT TOTE: DAISY EMBROIDERED SUEDE 

I love the details on this bag. It’s a classic Madewell tote, but the suede and daisies make this so cute for fall! I wasn’t considering another bag… I might have to pick this one up for 25% off.

BUTTON-BACK TIE TEE IN CLASSON STRIPE

Simple and cute to wear with jeans, and could be worn any season with white jeans as well.

THOMPSON POCKET PULLOVER SWEATER IN NAUTICAL STRIPE

This sweater is a great style, and I just love the nautical vibes with this one. I’m a sucker for stripes!

THE CHAIN CROSSBODY BAG

I’ve been looking for a black crossbody bag for a while now and this is perfect!

LAYERING CAMI TOP

I always feel like I never have anything to layer under cardigans, so this is my year for that! I’ve already ordered a few. This one is perfect and comes in a few colors!

After Party Sale Purchases and Favorites

The Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale is about to come to a close! I know this post is pretty last minute, but I thought I would throw some of my favorite pieces and purchases with the public, just in case there are any last minute shoppers out there like me!

Posting about the APS has become  a blog tradition for me since I started this blog a few years ago. I feel like some years of this sale are a hit or miss. Lilly changes things up some years, such as not adding more items over the 3 days, cutting off shopping on the app during the sale, etc. But let’s face it, most of us still set and alarm at 8AM to get up and hop in that virtual line on the website haha.

2019 APS Purchases

Pearl Romper 

I have had my eye on several versions of the Pearl Romper. I tried on one in store recently, and I loved the fit of it! So I decided to finally pick one up this year. I purchased it in the “Resort White Flamingle Engineered” print!

Kristen Swing Dress

“Blue Haven Little Flamenco” print has been all over my insta feed this summer, and I loved it! I decided to get this dress in the adorable pineapple print. This will be another awesome item to wear to work next summer.

Christin Off-the-Shoulder-Sweater

This is a cute piece that you don’t see that often from Lilly! I like that this sweater is a cute fall transitional piece, and you don’t have to pack it away until next year. I wanted “Resort White” but the size small was out of stock, so I settled for the “Coconut Coastal Shell Stripe,” which will look great with jeans this fall.

Items on Sale that I Already Own

Katia Short

I wore this with white tops and my “Summer Fridays” tee from J.Crew this summer on repeat!

Harper Shift Dress

My new favorite style of dress from Lilly! So comfy and very work appropriate.

Alivia Dress

A fancier feel to this dress, I wore it to my sister’s high school graduation last year. I think this could also be a more casual summer wedding dress.

Brewster T-shirt Dress

A classic, comfortable dress that can be dressed up or more casual. It’s very easy to throw on and go! I have this same color and I love it.

Bal Harbor Palazzo Pant

One of my favorite styles of pants, these are very long for a short girl like me. BUT they are the comfiest pants! They feel like fancy yoga pants, which is my ideal pants situation.

Happy Shopping! xx

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks and Favorites

It’s that time of year again! The NSale is here for Nordstrom card holders and access for everyone else begins on July 19th.

I’ve rounded up some of my favorite items I already have that are being included in the sale, as well as some of the items I’m picking up this year.

What I have and LOVE:

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

I got these leggings this winter and they are so great. I’m able to wear them to work with a long sweater and with everything else on the weekends and at night!

They are also camel toe-proof because there is no seam in the middle of the leggings, which I thought was sort of weird at first. Spanx proved me wrong! Sans middle seam for the win.

Thread & Supply Wubby Fleece Pullover

I got this pullover last fall, and although I seriously do not need another pullover/sweatshirt in my life, this one is worth it!

The inside is a sweatshirt like material, and the outside is super soft and fuzzy! I can’t wait to break this out again.

Blank NYC Suede Moto Jacket

My aunt got this jacket for my for Christmas 2 years ago, and I’m still obsessed with it. I have the gray color, and I feel like this is just a timeless piece that will always be in style.

Just a tip, I would size up one size especially if you are sort of in between sizes. I got the extra small and I think I could have taken the small. The arms are a bit tight, but it’s livable.

St. Tropez Express Bronzing Mousse

St. Tropez self-tanner has been one of my go-to’s since I started using it last summer. I have the express and I think I might need to invest in another!

The mitt is key, so don’t forget to pick up one of those as well.

On my wish list for the sale:

Blank NYC Suede Mini Skirt

Okay… I LOVE this skirt and I’ve been looking for a cute suede mini for quite a while now. I know the suede is good quality because I already have the jacket.

Now the debate is: do I get gray to match my jacket? Or get the coffee color because it’s super cute and fall friendly? 🙂

Kendra Scott Ever Pendant Necklace

I have always wanted a Kendra Scott necklace like this! I finally may actually make the purchase I have thought about countless times.

Mario Badescu Trio

This trio has two of my favorite products of all time, and a new product I would love to try!

I recently was turned on to rose facial spray. I have the travel size but I think I need to upgrade, and this trio seems like the perfect opportunity.

Barefoot Dreams Cardigan

My eye has been on these cardigans for about a year now. I think I might actually pull the trigger this year and get one!

Blondo Waterproof Booties

Waterproof?! Sold. I actually have the suede knee high black boots by Blondo and they are great in the horrible wintery mix type slush.

I think that’s it for this year’s sale. There’s a ton of great deals on so many brands, so don’t wait too long!

Happy shopping, xoxo!
