{ absolutely adore this look… a.k.a. i could see myself living in it }

my friends were visiting me the other weekend and pointed out something that was pretty obvious about my style taste: i love neutrals & i stick to what works. so when they saw my different shoes, that all had a theme (otk suede boots, ankle strap, simple heeled sandals, and so on) and a similar color story i laughed. it’s true, i’m a creature of habit… i will add something different in every once in a while, but blacks, tans, grays, browns, and whites are kind of my favorite. when the spring rolls around a colored lip or a maybe a colored skirt may make an appearance, but it depends on the day. i think my taste (which is pretty singular, if you can’t tell already) explains my love for the blogger brooklyn blonde. her looks are all right up my alley and she pulls otk boots off like nothing i’ve seen before. if you’re looking for some outfit inspiration, you should head her way!

although the weather in new york right now isn’t exactly the coldest (which i am not happy about), one of my favorite cold weather trends is wearing white during the winter. picture it: a huge, warm, cozy sweater that looks like you’re draped in snow, covering you up like you’re wearing a blanket. tell me that doesn’t sound amazing. i had a white fisherman’s sweater i lived in for years (no exaggeration), until i wore holes into it… which was rough. i found a replacement at free people that i love, and i tend to live in it. luckily these kinds of sweaters are easy to find, but when you find “the one” you’ll just know.

a month has gone by since my last post, and here we are in december… i have zero idea how that happened, but i’ve gotten used to the whole “time flies” concept at this point. i will be posting a glimpse into my fall experiences in new york, but for now i wanted to talk a little bit about my cold weather staples…

the oversized coat | so this style has sadly sold out, but i love oversized sweater-style coats. they protect you from the cold, feel like a blanket, and this one here looks oh so stylish.

the turtleneck dress | i don’t know when or how my love for this style got reignited (dramatic, i know), but i have been into this look again. this dress is beyond comfortable, cozy, not itchy, and warm.

the nudes | i am all about nude lips in all different forms, whether it’s lip gloss, lipstick, lip tint. the same can also be said for my nail polish choices (essie bordeaux/picked perfect, i’m looking at you…). i stick to berries and nudes during the colder months, but if i’m going to be honest with myself it’s more often a “natural” lip that you’ll find me wearing.

the tartan scarf | here’s the thing: i love the cold. i love it so much that i don’t really have issues walking to work during the winter as long as i’m bundled up. i really love this option and this one.

the over the knee boot | god knows the 5050 boot by stuart weitzman is beautiful… but god also knows it’s ridiculously expensive. i have been trying to find a dupe for a long, LONG time, so when i found these on sale on amazon i was more than happy. plus they’re very comfy, which is a plus…

the minimalist jewelry | i love rings, but the downside of them is that basically none of them ever fit my fingers. thankfully knuckle rings help a bit with this issue. i love this set from essie. they’re simply, pretty, and one or two actually make a big difference for your “look” (or so i’d like to think).

the open-toed booties | these shoes are where it’s at. i’ve been kind of obsessed with them for a while, but finally decided to go for them thanks to some insane cyber monday savings. seriously, amazon fashion is unreal and their deals are hard to beat. these shoes are full price everywhere else except for amazon and add an additional 30% off and you’ve got yourself a steal.

the beat goes on

“k.i.s.s.” is a statement that i love… meaning “keep it simple, sweetie”, i think it’s a pretty foolproof method for getting dress and putting on makeup. a pair of jean shorts, a white button down, and sandals are go-to’s in my closet, and the same goes for neutrals like army greens, nudes, whites, and grays, some statement dresses, and shoes. i love shoes, and i can never pass up on a good heel. when it comes to online shopping, i love to browse revolve, shopbop, madewell, forever 21, amazon… basically almost anything to find stuff i love. when it comes to red, pink, berry, or coral lips, my family tends to not be a fan, but you have to march to the beat of your own drum… especially when it comes to lipstick.
