Vans Classic Slip-On

Happy Saturday!  Just a quick post to share this pretty Show Me Your Mumu set!  The knit sweater and knit shorts are sold separately, but I actually prefer that because I like to go up a size in shorts I plan to lounge around in.  I'll be living in this set.  It'll be perfect for those breezy beach days and evenings too!  I'll also be pairing this oversized sweater with denim cutoffs and these shorts with a cropped tee.  

 

I'm also loving this Show Me Your Mumu matching tie dye boyfriend sweatshirt and girlfriend shorts set!  I've also been eyeing this matching fuzzy cardigan and fuzzy shorts set at Anthropologie, which looks so cozy.

Happy (set) shopping!

friday find: crochet sweater

RD Style Magdalena Crochet Sweater

Happy Friday!  How beautiful is this sweater from Anthropologie?  I recently came across it and purchased it immediately.  I have always gravitated to crochet pieces.  (I remember obsessing over this Spell & The Gypsy Collective Crochet top, but unfortunately it was too cropped for me.)  

 

This sent me down a crochet rabbit hole.  

 

I'm obsessing over this Farm Rio Renata Crochet Mini Dress.  I'm loving this Crystal Crochet Skirtall, this Gift of Crochet Top and these Border Crochet Flare Pants, all available at Free People.  This multicolored, striped Free People crochet sweater, as well as this white crochet sweater, are on sale at ASOS!  This Sea Farrah Crochet Sweater is also on sale (and also comes in pink!).  How cute is this ZARA crochet bag?  I love the ruffles!  Or these bags from Urban Outfitters?  I'm also eyeing this crochet robe.

This Tularosa Ohana Crochet Cardigan is so pretty and perfect for spring.  This Lovers + Friends Flower Power crochet skirt would make a great beach cover up (there's also a matching crop top!). 

Happy (crochet) shopping!

cable knit sweater

Line + Dot Jasper Fringe Sweater (also here, also available in ivory and charcoal)

Madewell High Rise Skinny Jeans in Danny Wash

Dolce Vita Huey Chelsea Boots

Lack of Color Noir Rancher

 

I love a good cable knit sweater.  I purchased this Line & Dot Jasper Fringe Sweater in ivory a couple of years ago, which I wore on the blog here, which is still available (linked above!).  This year, I came across it in this pretty amber brown and couldn't resist buying it.  It's currently on sale!  My favourite part of this cable knit sweater is, of course, the fringe details.  It's a heavy knit, which keeps you warm, but because it's a cable knit sweater and has no wool in it, it's cool enough to wear in Florida (although it's cooled down quite a bit - again).  Line & Dot has also made a dress version!  525 makes a similar sweater in navy.

  

I paired the cable knit sweater with these amazing Madewell high rise skinny jeans, which I have been living in.  They are SO comfortable.  My natural instinct was to pair the outfit with brown accessories and boots, but I wanted the sweater to stand out so instead paired it with my Lack of Color Noir Rancher and black Dolce Vita Chelsea boots.

 

Other cable knit pieces I'm coveting:

 

& Other Stories Cropped Cable Knit Cardigan

FRAME Sofia Sweater (love the ruffles!)

Line & Dot Bailey Oversized Cable Knit Sweater (a cable knit in pink? yes, please!)

Tularosa Cable Rib Mix Dress

Central Park West Corning Cable Sweater (love the slouchy fit!)

Free People Honey Cable Pullover (love the contrasting sleeves!)

LoveShackFancy Leni Cable Knit Sweater 

MANGO Contrasting Knit Polo (love the pastel colours)

ZARA Jewel Button Cable-Knit Cardigan (love the pretty lilac colour)

Callahan Consuela Cable-Knit Cardigan

Saturday/Sunday Ellyn Cable-Knit Sweater Set

Anthropologie Joanie Cable-Knit Cardigan (love it in bright yellow!)

For Love & Lemons Florentina Button Down Cardigan (love the pom poms!)

Happy (cable knit) shopping!

sequin knit sweater

 

ZARA Limited Edition Sequin Knit Sweater

AGOLDE Parker Vintage Cut Off Short

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

As soon as I saw this ZARA sequin knit sweater, I fell in love.  Everything about it - the sequins, the ruffled sleeves... it feels festive, but you can wear it casually.  I paired it with cutoffs and sneakers.  I love how lightweight it is, which is perfect for the weather we've been having here in Florida.  I was worried it would be too cropped (why are all the tops so cropped this year?), but the length is perfect with something high-waisted, if you're like me and not wanting to show your stomach.  Next, I'll be pairing this pretty sweater with high-waisted skinny jeans and booties!

Happy shopping!

for love & lemons

For Love & Lemons Savannah Boxy Sweater (for rent, available in black here)

AGOLDE Parker Vintage Loose Fit Cutoff Shorts

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

Happy Friday!  We've had a lot of rain the past few days and yesterday evening the sun came out so we headed to the park for some much-needed fresh air.  Because it had cooled down a bit, I wore this beautiful For Love & Lemons sweater.  I thankfully paired it with a pair of AGOLDE shorts because it ended up being really warm.  Also, this sweater is quite cropped so I needed to pair it with something high-waisted and these shorts are more forgiving than the high-waisted Levi's I ordered before everything happened.  (These AGOLDE shorts have been one of the best purchases I have ever made!)

I love For Love & Lemons knits (as I'm sure I've mentioned on the blog before).  A lot of their knits are on sale!  I love this embroidered cardigan.  They're great quality and always have the prettiest details.  This sweater is embroidered with pretty purple flowers and, of course, I love the balloon sleeves.  Unfortunately this sweater is sold out, but I've linked it for renting from Nuuly.  Urban Outfitters carries it in black, which I've also linked above! 

Happy shopping/renting!

purple puff sleeve sweater

For Love & Lemons Brooke Pointelle Puff Sleeve Sweater;

Levi's 501 Short Long;
 Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

For Love & Lemons is known for their delicate, lacy pieces, especially in lingerie, but I am obsessed with their knits.  Every fall I look forward to seeing what they put out and this year did not disappoint.  How pretty is this puff sleeve sweater?  I love the colour and I'm all for a puff sleeve.  It could be dressed up or down.  I paired it with a new pair of Levi's denim shorts, which are super comfortable.  This sweater also comes in green!  I'm also loving this color block pullover and this cropped sweater.  I also ordered this v-neck knit back in May (worn here on my Insta), which is now on sale, and can't wait to wear it when it starts to cool down!

Happy shopping!

#OOTD

Happy Friday!  This week's #OOTD features a sweater or 'jumper' I've had my eye on, but I couldn't decide which colour I love more so I styled them both.  This burgundy colour is so beautiful (also love this and this sweater).  Since it's cropped and has full sleeves, I went with a pair of straight high-waisted jeans rather than a flare.  They're a bit slouchy, which is perfect for the weekend.  I was going to go with sneakers for a more casual look, but I've been eyeing these amazing Valentino booties (budget-friendly pair here and love these).  Plus they would give a petite girl like me some height so I'm not overwhelmed by the voluminous sweater.  And since Valentine's Day is coming up, I went with some heart-shaped pieces and my go-to Prada sunglasses.

For the cream version, which is the version I originally fell in love with, I paired it with another pair of high-waisted jeans, but in white because I love wearing bright neutrals for the winter.  The boots are a budget-friendlier version of the Valentino ones (they also come in black).  I went with this beautiful Loeffler Randall bag to keep the look clean and added some delicate Gorjana rings, which is my go-to brand for delicate jewellery.

Happy shopping!

I saw these Free People pants in one of their lookbooks and had them on my mind for weeks and thought, why am I not just ordering them?!  The price is amazing for the quality.  I thought for some reason the material would be thinner but it's a nice thick material that will keep you warm in the fall.  I'm even thinking of getting one of the other colours they're that nice.  I'm loving the weather these days, just a little cool that you need a lightweight sweater.  I just love the way nature looks in the fall.  If only it would last until June and we could skip winter altogether.

Today there was snow on my car that actually had to be removed for me to drive it.  Snow!  Sometimes we don't even get snow for Christmas so it was a bit surprising to see first thing in the morning.  And it was freezing cold.  Needless to say, it was the absolute perfect day to wear this cozy turtleneck sweater I picked up for approximately $40.  Although I love this sweater paired with this military jacket, it was so cold that I had to replace it with a much heavier winter jacket (this picture was taken on the weekend).  It's safe (and sad) to say I'm not wearing this jacket again until March... or even April.  It's officially time to say goodbye, fall (if I haven't yet already).  Our time together was short and I'll miss you.  But it's just that much closer to spring!

Below is a picture I posted on Instagram earlier today to show how pretty this sweater is (it was too cold to step off my front porch without a jacket!).  It's one of those I-can't-believe-it's-only-$40 kind of sweaters!
