Favorites Lately : Black + Blue

image
Hope you all had a great weekend!

I wanted to share a couple of my favorite pieces that I’ve snagged lately.

I have had a hard time with the flutter sleeve on a lot of tops and dresses, and will occasionally just put my arm over it (so that the ruffle hands to the side of my body).

The ruffle on this top, however, is perfect and subtle – and I love the little swiss-dot-esque effect on the edge. I love the dusty blue color of this shirt. It’s such a very subtle blue, but it also comes in black.

back in stock in all sizes, link updated!

I have found the best t-shirt ever, that technically isn’t a t-shirt.

I love this black blouse so much. It is as soft as a t-shirt – and the fabric for the back is t-shirt material, the front has the perfect flattering fit, and it looks just like the Vince blouse that is 5x the price.
You know a designer knock off is my absolute fav.

AND It’s on super sale down to under $30!

BLACK V-NECK BLOUSE // PURSE // FOREVER 21 SUEDE OTK BOOTS, ALMOST IDENTICAL

MOON AND LOLA MONOGRAM NECKLACE

I got these grey suede boots last year, and now they have the identical pair but with a little tie on the back that is so popular right now. Forever 21 for the win!

I wore the shirt two days in a row this weekend; just changed the shoes and necklace.

Oops 🙂

BLACK V-NECK BLOUSE // STUART WEITZMAN OTK BOOTS

KENDRA SCOTT NECKLACE

FIT : runs slightly big, I am wearing XS

one of my favorite things is doing looks for less…..
I saw another Vince hack and had to share….I love this tank + have in a few colors

lush side slit tank in all new colors

$195 versus $34 is a pretty good steal if you ask me.

My other obsession is the purse that you see above.

This looks so close to the designer bag that I have been loving and seeing everywhere.

I mean really…..they are identical! I don’t know how it’s legal, but I don’t care 🙂

That is definitely out of my budget, but this under $70 find is insanely gorgeous.

I had been holding out for a winter purse, and I’m so glad because this one is perfect.

// MIKAYLA SATCHEL //

also love this similar style

One more great black top and under $100 find that am I loving is this lace detail top.

It has a nice flowy sleeve and waist line, and I think it will look just as great in the summer with white jeans and sandals as it does now with dark denim and boots.

editors note : These picture are making me realize how faded my jeans have gotten and that it’s time for a new pair.

…. but absolutely nothing is worse than jeans shopping. ugh.

:: WEEKEND THINGS ::

I had a great low-key weekend.

Snowmageddon was a tiny amount of ice that affected nothing at all, but God Bless that the city just shuts down with even the threat of ice and snow. It’s amazing.

We went to my favorite neighborhood sushi spot The One on Saturday night.

The Spicy Tuna on the Rocks is our hands down favorite (it’s like the crispy rice topped with tuna that Sunda has in Chicago and I die for it). We tried the G6 Hand Roll this time and it’s like an amazing little sushi burrito, so I highly recommend that too! Also love the Sex + the City roll!

Sunday I went antique/consignment/furniture store shopping with my mom and sister and grabbed lunch which was the perfect way to spend a Sunday.
I wanted evveerryyyything that was out of my budget entirely 🙂

I have been wanting new nightstands for ages, and I am obsessed with these brass + marble end tables.

from Kudzu Antiques in Sandy Springs

They are $500 each however.
So. Yeah. Not gonna happen.

Some of my Golden Globe favorites below:

Heidi Klum makes the list more because she normally picks THE WORST dresses ever, and is so gorgeous so it gets so frustrating, but this one was pretty good for her.
You know I love boobs, and it seemed like everyone wanted to show theirs last night.
Kristen Bell wins for best boobs hands down.
Kristin Wiig’s hair…. eh…. I’m really not into it.
But her and Steve Carrell were hilarious with their intro for their award.

I of course watched E! Red Carpet like I always do.
The pre-red carpet was hosted by Brad Goreski, Kristin Cavallari, and Kris Jenner.

Why is Kris Jenner doing commentary on this? It’s like E! just lets her do whatever she wants because her family is what keeps the network alive.
and I’m sorry, am I the only one that thinks her veneers look like an upper denture? they never look like separate teeth, but rather one large partial? but I digress….

HAPPY SECOND MONDAY OF 2017!
Let’s go kick this ass’s week with even more vengeance than last week, because we don’t have the NYE hangovers or the back-to-work-anxieties to deal with this week!
