What I'm Wearing + Tory Burch Sale

Happy Friday!  This weekend is pretty low key for us since most of my family is coming in town next week and weekend for Sterling's birthday (how is he 7) and SEWE!  
I wanted to share a recent outfit that has been on repeat.

I showed this scarf last weekend and I am pretty much in love with the colors.  It looks great paired with gray, black, navy, white, and pink!  It is only $25 and the quality is great. 
Earrings are by Twine and Twig.  They just recently started making earrings and they have some really fun designs.  I like them because they are lightweight and don't hurt my ears.
My booties are an investment but I can't tell you how often I wear them.  Here is a similar less expensive version for under $100.

Arm Candy.  This is my standard go-to daily jewelry.

You can shop my look Here:




I also wanted to mention Tory Burch did a bunch of new markdowns.  The dress I am wearing is now 40% off.  I can't tell you often I wear this.  It is such a great versatile style.  I am wearing a size 4 it runs TTS.
Also on sale 40% off in a pink version as well.
You can shop all the markdowns HERE.  Scroll through to see some of my top picks from the sale.

Loving Lately

I wanted to share a few items I have been loving lately. 


I first read about this mask on Goop.  It was on the list as one of the 9 best "clean" face masks.  I have used it a few times and really like it.  It is a clarifying and cooling face mask.  It feels similar to the Tata Harper face mask when you apply it, super lightweight.  I feel like my skin looked so fresh and bright following using it.
I liked the face mask from Herbivore so much I went back and picked up this Moon Fruit Cream.  I have used it the past two nights and so far I like it.  I will report back after a few more uses.   It is an overnight treatment that gently resurfaces and hydrates your skin with fruit enzymes.   The herbivore line is great because it has no parabans or harmful ingredients in their products.

I stopped in Madewell this week and found the cutest shift dress.   You all know my love for a shift dress:)  This one fits great and I love the green color.  It also comes in navy.  I am wearing the small.  
I also tried on this dress,  I ended up just getting the shift dress but really liked this one as well.

I recently bought this hair oil and I am hooked.  It is a dry oil so it is a little different from regular oil.  You can spray in your hair while it is wet or dry.  I find it makes my hair sleeker and I love the smell.

I ended up buying this ring a few weeks when I saw it was on sale.  I love all Anna Beck Designs.  They are great everyday pieces.  The ring is currently 40% off.

You all know I love my girl GP.  I have really enjoyed reading this book at night.  Not only is it filled with great beauty and skincare stuff but also some great recipes.

Tee shirts and blouses with jeans are my go to daily outfit when I am not in my workout clothes.  I recently found this "whisper tee" and I am loving it.  The fit is great, not too fitted or too loose.  I like that the material is not too thin and has some stretch to it.  I am wearing a size small.
It also comes in several solid colors (gray, black and white). 

Speaking of stripes I just ordered this stripe blouse.  I love the classic black/white stripes.

I am loving these shorter tassel earrings.  

The Lumineers
I have always loved the Lumineers but lately they are all I want to listen to. 
This entire album is amazing.

Chopped White Bean + Radiccho Salad | Booties on Sale


It is no secret round here that I love a salad.  Like seriously some of my favorite meals are salads.  I made this recently and let me tell you the flavor combination was amazing.  Something about the bitterness of the radicchio, the tartness of the apples, the saltiness of the olives and sweetness of the candied walnuts was just the perfect combination.   Such a light and refreshing salad but filling at the same time! 
Enjoy!

Adapted via Food with Friends

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 head radicchio, finely shredded
- 1/2 cup green olives pitted and chopped
- 1 can white beans Cannellini or Great White Northern, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pecorino cheese shredded or thinly sliced
- 1 small green apple julienned
- Candied Walnuts (I used the kind in the bag)

In a bowl whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mayo, garlic and salt and pepper to taste and until dressing is emulsified.   Add radicchio, beans, olives, onion, pecorino, and apples.  Toss all together.

Add the candied walnuts last and mix all together.   Optional add fresh parsley too.

I wanted to share these short booties that are now on sale and under $100.   I wear mine often.  They are so comfortable.  They run TTS and come in 3 colors.  I am wearing the tan nubuck.  You can wear low ankle socks with these although sometimes I don't wear any socks!

Pretty In Pink | Valentine's Day

Today I wanted to share some ideas for Valentine's day. 

First of all I want to share this adorable gift box designed by my friend Karina at Waffles and Honey.   I just love all her jewelry.  This would make such a great Valentine's gift and is under $100.  The box comes with the choice of 3 different gemstones for the necklace.  It also includes macaroons, a candle, matches, and a candy rock pop.  Tomorrow (the 8th) is the last day to order for guaranteed Valentine's delivery and don't forget to refrigerate the cookies when your box arrives.  Or if you have kids rest assured they will devour the cookies before you can get your hands on them:)
This makes such a sweet gift for a mom, sister or friend.


A few other beauties in pink.

I adore this and the hot pink color.

I am highly considering this for St John.  Also comes in a blue version.

This is such a fun romantic blouse.  It is the perfect shade of pink.

I love the style and fit of this dress.  Easy to dress up or down.

This is a steal under $50.  Also comes in navy.  I love the idea of this paired with white jeans and wedges.

This set is adorable and under $55.


This is under $40 and comes in several colors.

I shared this dress a few weeks ago and it would be perfect for Valentine's Day.  I recently wore mine to church.


This looks so cozy.

I own this tee and in the white and love it.  I am tempted to snag this blush color as well.

These come in several colors.  The perfect nude wedge for Spring.

I am obsessed with these sunglasses and they are under $50.
The best pumps and they come in so many color options.  I like them because the heel is not crazy high.
I love anything with tassels.  

This is such a fun tote for Spring. I love the color palette.
 Beauty Counter lipgloss is my favorite.  I have been using new shade called coralbell lately and it is such a great everyday pink.
They also have the cutest set for Valentine's day. It includes the lip sheer in rose (my favorite color) and blush.  This retails for $70 but you can get the set for $52.
