It’s been a while since I have posted on the blog and I just wanted to take a moment here and let you all know how thankful I am for you! I am thankful that you care to read my posts sharing about fashion finds & family.
The last couple of weeks have been SUPER busy. So much so it felt like we were in normal times. BUT the whole not traveling for Thanksgiving, not being able to have a big Thanksgiving dinner – it’s not a normal thanksgiving.
We are going to Palm Beach for Thanksgiving. We had nothing planned in Miami and so thought it would be best to get away. We had a trip planned to go to Madison to visit my family but unfortunately we had to cancel it. I’m so upset that we can’t go but so many of us are in the same position. A friend who had to cancel her trip to New Jersey asked me what I had told my kids when we cancelled our Wisconsin trip. I told them the truth – I think it’s best just to tell the truth. Jake asks every day when he will get to see his cousins and I say hopefully soon. Right now we should be thankful for FaceTime!
I am thankful for my family, you guys, my health and, this one is new this year, my children’s school and teachers. School is something that we always took for granted and this year teaches us how easily even that can be taken away. Praying our school doesn’t close – I am not meant to be a teacher! What are you thankful for?
I was asked to do a sweater edit on the blog- so here we go! Also, the person requested a lot of cashmere options so they wouldn’t be itchy- because we all know how uncomfortable that can be!
Just a little styling tip- when you wear these sweaters they look best if you tuck them in if they are on the longer side:)
Growing up in Dallas, Halloween always was the start of cold weather. I just spoke to my parents and it’s freezing in Dallas now, so it only seems appropriate to start talking about jackets. My sister lives in Madison, WI and she said there were snowflakes over the weekend! We are actually supposed to be going to Madison for Thanksgiving but, depending on the Covid 19 situation, we aren’t sure that we are going – which makes me so sad. I really want to see my sister, brother-in-law and nieces. Especially after finishing Virgin River over the weekend. The main character and her sister have such a nice relationship and it was such a great show! There were nights I was staying up until midnight to watch – which I rarely do. So I highly recommend!
Ok onto the jacket edit – I wanted to show all different types from the cropped puffer jacket, faux fur/ shearling to wool. Hoping I can take mine (similar one) for a spin during Thanksgiving- if we end up going to Madison!
When I think of Miami, I immediately think bright patterns, colors, flowers, accessories!! I was asked to post about key pieces besides denim shorts and tees that I suggest wearing all year round in Miami. The only time I really bring a leather or denim jacket / blazer is when I go to dinner because it tends to get cold in restaurants.
I LOVE floral dresses – there is something so cute and feminine about floral prints and you can wear them with leopard/glitter sneakers to funk it up a bit or flat sandals and a tote for daytime. Also, animal print is cool as well as timeless. Speaking of totes – my favorite tote are the Goyard GM and the Chanel Deauville. These totes are perfect for Miami – during the day or to the pool/beach. For night time just throw on a pair of heels and a clutch! I’m currently loving my Bottega clutch that I got right before the pandemic.
I also love a good white dress! I don’t believe in the rule that you can’t wear white after labor day. You can make it fun by wearing a pop of color bag/ shoes. A black basic dress is a staple as well.
Puff sleeves are such a nice statement and you can wear with denim shorts all year round! Don’t forget a pair of fun sunglasses– you will def need them in this climate. Don’t forget your jewelry – it’s my favorite part of my outfit! I love how unique it can make your outfit.
