candy stripes / sweaterdress




Hope everyone had a great Christmas!  I overate, as per usual, so sweaterdresses for the win!  We've had gorgeous weather lately so thankfully there's been no need for pants.  Also helpful that I'm petite enough to wear this Free People Candy Stripe Tunic as a dress.  I've always loved sweaterdresses, especially living in Canada.  Being able to throw one on with tights and run out the door was the only thing that got me through the winters.  I love any type of sweaterdress, but a pink one?  This one was a no-brainer for me.  Bonus: it's currently 60% off at Macy's! 

I love shopping this time of year, when everything is on sale or even on clearance.  Some other tunics/sweaterdresses I'm eyeing:

Solid Sweater Dresses

 Free People Good as Gold Sweater Dress
Free People Easy Street Tunic Sweater (comes in 7 colours!)
Free People Softly Structured Knit Tunic (comes in 5 colours!)
Bardot Long Sleeve Sweater Dress
Madewell Foldover Turtleneck Long Sleeve Sweater Dress

Printed or Patterned Sweater Dresses

Madewell Buffalo Check Long Sleeve Sweater Dress
Madewell Fair Isle Turtleneck Sweater Dress
LPA Floyd Sweater Dress
Lovers + Friends Kamalla Sweater Dress

This one's not on sale, but I love that this Tularosa sweaterdress is belted!  I'm also obsessing over this purple, leopard print For Love & Lemons Marielle Cardi Sweater Dress.

Happy shopping!

polar opposites sweater






We've been spoiled with gorgeous weather here in South Carolina (not including the next couple of days, brr).  The day we shot these pictures, most of the leaves had fallen and it was so beautiful!  As much as I prefer summer weather, I love dressing for this weather.  I love a sweater.  I love being able to wear a sweater and not have to cover it up with a coat.  I always look for unique details, prints or textures when shopping for a sweater.  I was drawn to the colour of this Free People Polar Opposites Sweater and I love the colorblock pattern.  This sweater is currently on sale (link above)!   Free People has a lot of great sweaters on sale.  I love the winter vibe of this Going Glacial Sweater.  I love pastels in the fall/winter so I'm eyeing this Lilac Skies Pullover, which is over 50% off.

As I was searching for this sweater to link on my blog, I found it even cheaper (67% off) at Nordstrom Rack!  They have some great Free People sweaters.  I love the colours of this Free People Fair Weather Cardigan, which is under $60!  This Free People Layer Cake Sweater (love the rose colour and peplum!) is only $45.  I love this off-the-shoulder sweater ($40), which comes in 4 colours.  This See the Rainbow Sweater, as seen on the blog here, is over 50% off!

Macy's also has some great deals on Free People sweaters.  They are currently offering an extra 20% off sale items!  I love the 'Sugar Candy' colour (and sleeves!) of this Home Town Cardigan Sweater.  I love this colourfully knit sweater, which also has great sleeves and comes in 3 colours.  How fun are the sleeves on this Cha Cha Swit Sweater?  You can check out all of their sweaters here.

Happy (Sale) Shopping!

peplum sweatshirt





ZARA Peplum Sweatshirt (comes in 3 colours)
FRAME Ali High-Rise Skinny Jeans (similar here)

I rarely wear all black everything, but these jeans are stretchy and I've been doing a lot of baking and eating a lot of holiday treats (thanks, Costco cannoli kit and large boxes of decadent chocolates!).  This ZARA peplum sweatshirt is also coming in handy!  It's very comfy and for $25 I scooped up two of the colours and am thinking about picking up the last colour.  I've always been a fan of peplum.  Some of my favourite pieces include this Free People pink peplum top (I also bought it in two colours) and this Free People plaid shirt.  Are you a fan of peplum?

Happy shopping!

december skies poncho (+ gift ideas!)




Free People December Skies Poncho (comes in 2 colours)

How pretty is this Free People poncho?  I love the bright colours.  This one fits more like a sweater, but a poncho would make a great gift for Christmas!  A poncho is perfect, for example, for a day of shopping in Canada (hello, Boxing Day sales!) so you don't have to worry about carrying a bulky coat around with you in the mall, but at least you're warm from the walk from your car.  I'm eyeing this Free People Stay in Fleece Poncho, it looks so cozy!  This Free People Follow The Arrow Poncho is on sale!  A simple black poncho by Tularosa.  I love a cable knit sweater so I'm eyeing this Corinne Cable Knit Poncho at Anthropologie.  This Rag & Bone Cashmere Poncho would keep you (or someone) very warm and it's on sale!  (It also comes in grey and is a little cheaper than the camel one.)  This UGG Charlynne Poncho at Nordstrom comes in 6 colours and is reasonably priced at $110! 

Happy shopping!

plaid and checkerboard (+ gift ideas!)






FRAME Le High Skinny Jeans (old, similar here)

Happy December!  Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  We're Canadian so we don't really celebrate it, but I sure enjoyed the 5-day weekend with my kids!  We've been having the most beautiful weather (after a brief cold snap).  We did a lot of shopping and spent a lot of time outdoors.  Over the weekend I wore this plaid sweater by Jen's Pirate Booty.  I'm a big fan of Jen's Pirate Booty's gauzy summer pieces, but now I'm a big fan of their fall pieces.  It's very comfy and, as you know if you've been reading my blog, I'm a huge fan of the balloon sleeves.  Plus, it feels festive!  I paired this plaid sweater with my checkboard Vans sneakers for a matchy-matchy look.

I've also always been a fan of anything with a check pattern.  Below are a few pieces I'm coveting:

Lovers + Friends Aisling Pant
Lele Sadoughi x LoveShackFancy Knotted Headband
Splendid Eastwood Jacket
1. STATE Button Front Plaid Eyelash Cropped Cardigan
Free People Faded Dreams Cozy Trucker Jacket
525 American Houndstooth Pullover

These would make a great gift!

Plush Thermal PJ Set
Madewell Flannel Bedtime Pajama Set
Madewell Buffalo Check Cape Scarf 
Happy shopping!
