Looks to Love: Chokers

forever21-choker

Happy Friday loves! I haven’t shared a looks to love post in a while & wanted to share my most recent of- the-moment accessory with you- the choker! I was very hesitant to try this look out considering my younger sister was wearing it (she’s 10 years younger than me) & the fact that I remember wearing these back in middle school! Can’t believe I am now the age where things I wore are “back in style”. Alas, I have been loving them lately!

 I personally love chokers that are more dainty & feminine. I picked up this lace one recently (pictured above) & love that it allows me to wear the trend in a more subdued way. I also love this one for a more bohemian feel- it looks so cute paired with a low v-neck top! Both are very budget friendly, which is how I tend to always shop, but even more so for items that are very trendy. Let me know what you think of this look to love!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend & don’t forget to check out yesterday’s #nsale post for details on my favorite finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

Looks to Love: Soft Peplum

Recently, I have been noticing the resurgence of the peplum. It was a style I wore and loved a few years ago. But, as with most trends, it faded away and was replaced with something new, different, and fresh.  The soft peplum is delicate & easier to wear than the previously very distinct, tailored silhouette. I am personally loving the soft peplum style with skinny jeans & heels or sneaks & cutoffs if I’m feeling like keeping it a little more casual. What do you think of this revived look to love? Will you be wearing a soft peplum this spring/summer? Shop my favorite soft peplum styles below!

Looks to Love: Spring Suede

A major look to love for spring is everything and anything suede (faux suede too of course)! It has a soft look to it compared to standard  leather and pairs beautifully with the lighter color palette of spring dressing. I felt that suede was going to be big this year and picked up this skirt this past fall. You can see how I styled it for the fall season here. I’m ready to wear it again (as soon as I get some color on my legs!) with a lightweight blouse or a great stripe t-shirt for a more casual look. Suede is always great in footwear, but I am especially loving it right now on espadrilles and chunky wedges- this pair especially (total dupe for this Chloe pair)! Sharing some of my favorite suede finds below! What are some of your favorite suede pieces & how are you going to wear them this Spring? Loving hearing your style tips too!

Looks to Love: Fashionable Sneakers

My current looks to love is the fashionable sneaker. The sporty look has been in style for a few season’s now and has evolved into what we now refer to as “athleisure”.  Athleisure has officially taken sneakers from the gym to the streets making them as  fashion forward as they are functional. I have always been a heels girl, but am really loving the laid-back look of a fabulous pair of sneakers. What’s not to love about looking great while being super comfortable? Sharing my favorite sneaker finds below!

Looks to Love: Chelsea Boots

Today’s looks to love post is all about the chelsea boot. The chelsea boot has been on my radar for a few month’s now and I was so happy to find not one, but two pairs that I absolutely love both under $50 (score!).  They are the perfect versatile boot for all seasons. I love to wear mine with a pair of skinny jeans like how I wore them here and have also paired them with a dresses as well. Sharing all my current favorites below at all price points.

Looks to Love: Blanket Scarf

Taking a quick break from the moving madness to share one of my favorite fall accessories, the blanket scarf. I never leave home without a scarf as it can get pretty windy here. Blanket scarves are the best because not only do they add some texture and interest to an outfit, but they can be worn multiple ways all while keeping you cozy. Will do a post soon showing the different ways I wear mine. In the meantime, sharing some of my current favorites all under $50 below.

Shopbop Friends + Family Sale- Sweater Weather

Who can resist a good sale? Not this girl! Wanted to share some of my favorite sweater finds from the Shopbop Friends & Family Sale currently going on through 10/15. Whenever this sale comes around I always try to focus my attention on basics, classics, and those special pieces I have been eyeing like this suede handbag. Sale shopping can be a little overwhelming at times so I like to shop by category to help focus my attention. Today, I am focusing on sweaters despite the fact that the temps are nowhere near sweater weather right now. It is still a great time to stock up for when it does finally cool down. Shop my picks below and use code INTHEFAM25 at checkout to save 25% on your order!

Looks to Love: Booties

Today’s look to love is all about my must have footwear for fall- the bootie. It seems a little crazy to think about, but I never really wore them until last year. Sometimes I look at my shoe collection and especially those pairs I wear on the daily thinking what the heck did I wear before you? Anyone else have those epiphanies? The bootie has become my go to since moving to San Francisco. They are stylish, comfortable, and give me the little added height that I miss now that heels aren’t as practical. I’m thinking I will need to add this gorgeous pair of chelsea boots to my rotation this fall. I’ve rounded up my other favorite styles this season at all price points below.  Happy Tuesday Shoesday!

Looks to Love : Lace up Flats

Happy first day of Fall! Today’s look to love is the lace up flat. I honestly don’t know what I did without them, especially now that I walk everywhere. I admittedly was never much of a flats girl, but that has definitely changed! What is better than being comfortable and chic? Aside from comfort, I also love how versatile they are. The perfect pair can instantly dress up a favorite pair of denim and look adorable with a dress or skirt for those days when heels just won’t do. I’m constantly tempted to scoop up every single pair I come across. Shop my favorites at all price points below & your happy feet can thank me later!

Looks to Love : Lace Up Details

My current look to love is anything with lace up detailing. There is something very feminine and beautiful about a lace up top or dress.  The look can be easily worn more modest or sexy depending on how open you leave the laces. No matter how you wear it, you’re sure to look on point. I am absolutely obsessed with my white lace-up tunic I scored from H&M earlier this summer. It is so versatile & I can’t wait to pair it with booties for fall. It unfortunately sold out pretty quickly, but I adore this very similar version and the beautiful embroidered detail on this one.  Shop some of my other favorites below & get ready to turn some heads!
