Getting in the Holiday Spirit with J.Crew

Holiday with J.Crew

When it comes to dressing festive, I always look to J.Crew to see their timeless holiday classics. From tartan pants to velvet bows, they do such a good job at curating pieces you’ll want to wear year after year. I love how timeless their pieces are!

Here are some of my personal favorites this year! And the best part? Everything is 30% off today with the code FESTIVE.

I really do believe that this sweater is the softest sweater I’ve ever worn. I can’t take it off! It’s a little more expensive but if you’re looking for a sweater that will last a lifetime, invest in this one! I am wearing a size XS.

And then the pants?! Aren’t they so fun? I am 100% wearing these to a holiday party next week! I am wearing a size 4.

Holiday with J.Crew

I love this next outfit so much too. I know I could wear it for years to come and it will never feel outdated! I love the details on this tartan top and the I love these velvet jogggers too. Go see the cute other colors they come in! I loved pairing them with these velvet loafers.

Holiday with J.Crew

Give me all the velvet bows this time of year! This bow also comes in more colors.

And for the last outfit, I love the details on this smocked neck plaid top and think it’s so cute it matches with this knot headband! I am wearing my favorite demi-boot crop jeans in this picture. I own these jeans in blue and white and now black. Theyre so good!

Holiday with J.Crew

And last but not least, I love this coat! It’s an italian wool and is so warm and comfortable! And lucky for you, it’s 40% off today! Use the code FESTIVE.

Be sure to check out my LTK profile for more J.crew finds this time of year!

Happy holidays! 🎅🏼

Everyday Madewell – November Favorites

I’m back sharing some of my favorite items from Madewell today! In case you haven’t looked recently, they have so many cute things right now. If you haven’t done so yet, you need to download the LTK app because there will be a Madewell sale in the app starting on 11/21 so keep your eye out for that! 

Here are my favorite items with the sizes I’m wearing below!

I have loved this cashmere pullover paired with these demi-boot jeans and the new woven crossover bag. I am wearing a size XS in the pullover!

This plaid coat is so beyond perfect for fall and winter! I am wearing an XS here. Probably could’ve done a XXS but I do like the oversized fit.

Madewell Fall Favorites

Bright colors are in this fall and I just coudn’t pass up the color of this sweater! Isn’t is so beautiful? It also comes in different colors so go look! This is an XS.

I am actually wearing this dress as I am sitting down to write this blog post and just love it so much. If you still need something to wear for Thanksgiving, how cute is this! Wearing an XS. Help me keep an eye on a restock!

You know I love quilted everything right now and this dress is no exception. I would size down for sure. I am wearing an XS and wish I would’ve done XXS just so the neck wouldn’t droop as much. But it’s so cute, isn’t it?

I wore this dress last week with some cute knee-high boots and loved it. Such a cute outfit for fall.

Madewell is calling this one the Oversized Ex-Boyfriend Swing Shirt. Why am I cracking up that it is Ex-Boyfriend hahaha. It’s so perfect! Especially if you just got out of a breakup 😉

And then maybe my favorite piece that I’ve beeen wearing the absolute most is this sweater! It also comes in other colors and I love it so so much. I am wearing an XS here too. It is so soft and cozy!

That’s all for now. Thank you Madewell for sponsoring this post. Happy shopping!

Serena and Lily

Serena & Lily Favorites

Serena & Lily is the perfect place to look for beautiful household pieces that will are timeless and will last forever. I wanted to share a couple of things that I ordered a couple of months ago that I am loving right now!

We have been LOVING these beach chairs. Although we do not live anywhere near a beach, we use them in our backyard watching the kids play or for our outdoor movie nights and absoutely love them.

Serena & Lily Favorites

The second I saw this blanket, I knew I needed it. How adorable for a baby boys nursery too? They even have this matching crib sheet! I want to get the crib sheet for George!

Serena & Lily Favorites

Another item we’ve loved for the pool, swim lessons, etc. are these towels. They are so beautiful and soft. We bought the set of 4 so we all have one when we go to the pool!

Serena & Lily Favorites

And lastly are arguably my two favorite items from our order, the laundry hamper and these hooded towels for the kids! They LOVE their towels and I love how pretty they look hanging on their hooks in the bathroom.

Another item that I didn’t take pictures of (I did take it on our Newport trip though!) is this umbrella! It was so beautiful and I can’t wait to use it more next summer.

That’s all for now!

Don’t forget to check out my blog post on all of our bedding with Serena & Lily!

Thank you Serena & Lily for gifting these items.
