First I picked out this Classic Full-Zip Hoodie in Green.
It’s just so snuggly and the fit is amazing.
Then I decided on this Classic Popover Hoodie in Navy.
This one is slightly thicker, and it’s just as snuggly and cozy as the other one if not more so.
I also took advantage of their 5 for $26 sale on their Down Undies and picked up some really cute prints.
My favorites are the snowflake printed ones. Obviously because I bought them in all 3 colors. But the stripey ones are adorable too.
Please excuse the fact that my makeup looks a bit wrecked in these photos, they were taken at the end of a very long shooting day. That also explains my Victoria’s Secret star print pajama pants. Which reminds me the next time I place an order I simply must get some of the flannel pajama pants from Gilly Hicks. They just look so perfect for laying around the house in on Sundays or cozying up in after a very long day.
Seriously I just want to curl up in one of these hoodies with a pair of those flannel pants, a good book and some apple cider. What’s your favorite thing to wear on a lazy day?
]]>I picked up the sports hoodie I showed in my wishlist post and a cute tee shirt.
The sports hoodie is my favorite, it has a bright pink hood lining and the GH Sport Logo written on the left sleeve in the same color pink. It’s light weight, but still really warm. It has really cute thumb holes with I really love because I don’t wear gloves when out walking the dog. It’s similar to the Lulu Lemon jackets, but it has a hood. I don’t have and haven’t seen those jackets to really compare though. I’m really happy with this hoodie, because it’s everything I was looking for in a exercise jacket and it looks really cute on too!
I also picked up this tee shirt from the sale section which I completely adore. I love the different colored stripes, though the mint one is my favorite. I also adore the cute little pocket with the logo on it. But my absolute favorite thing about Gilly Hicks clothes, which sadly isn’t on the sport line is the little tiny bow on the tag. It makes even the most casual outfit feel more girly even though I’m the only one that knows it’s there.
I had also ordered a pair of sweatpants, but I’m exchanging them because they don’t fit properly. I need to send them back, but I still don’t know what I want to exchange them for.
]]> I’d wear this first outfit if I were spending the day lounging about at home watching Christmas movies and eating cookies.
It’s all from Gilly Hicks but it just looks so snuggly, and cozy I couldn’t resist. Its the Lilyfield Sweater in cream, and the Malabar Sleep Leggings in red stripe, and finished by the Cozy Socks. As you know I don’t match my socks by color, and I love the bow on these and that they’re all the same length which makes them super easy to mismatch together.
The second outfit is if I had to leave the house, I like to be dressed up but still really comfortable. I think this Sequin blazer from American Eagle, Perfect Racerback Tank from Madewell, Pixie Pants from J. Crew, and Riding Boots from Zara are perfect for this sort of outfit. It’s still really dressy with the Sequined blazer and black boots, but the easy tank, pixie pants and the riding boots being flat make this outfit still really comfortable and cozy. I especially love the pixie pants in this outfit. They have a great fit, and look amazing but they’re totally just like wearing your coziest leggings.
What are your Christmas Day traditions? and just as importantly, what are you going to wear?

This time I bought the Skinny Banded Sweatpants in Dark Heather Grey which has the logo in pink and Navy which has the logo in red. They’re extremely schnuggly and cozy and warm. I’m so in love with them, I just want to spend all my time in them. I definitely prefer them to the Victoria Secret Pink Pants. These are seriously the softest pants that I’ve ever put on. They claim to have a cheeky butt fit, and I don’t know what that is exactly, but my ass certainly looks as good as you’d expect it to in sweatpants. They don’t have pockets, but I’ve never really liked pockets in sweatpants anyway, since if you drop your phone in, or anything at all, it seems to drag them down on that side. The banded bottom is great because you can cuff them up for spring or early fall and wear them long in the winter.
I also bought two different styles of the hoodies, a zip up and a pullover. The first one, the zip up is the Hewlett Street Hoodie in Burgundy. I adore it, it’s made from the same material as the sweatpants and it’s insanely warm. It’s very fitted, which is nice as it doesn’t make me look shapeless. The sleeves are a bit tight if you have a long sleeve shirt on underneath, but since it’s so warm you wouldn’t need to do that unless it was absolutely freezing out. I love the golden yellow embroidery on the front, it works really well with the deep burgundy color. This hoodie hits me right at the top of my hips, and the sleeves are kinda long, I can comfortably cover my hands if I want to, which I did when I wore it out trick or treating with my son last night because it was so cold out. But at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the hoodie was still warm enough to be out wandering around.
The Second hoodie, the pullover, was the Roselands Hoodie in Grey which has pink stitching for the logo, that matches the sweatpants I bought exactly even though the hoodie is a lighter grey than the pants. I haven’t worn it for more than a few minutes to try it on and see how it fit, but I really really like this hoodie. It’s just as soft as everything else I bought, but it seems to have a looser fit than the other hoodie. It fits comfortably in the sleeves with long sleeves under it. It seems to be a bit longer too, but not by much. It’s a typical pullover with a Kangaroo pocket. There’s not much else to say since it’s made out of the same material as everything else I bought, but I definitely love it, and have a feeling that this one will quickly become my favorite because of the coloring.
All said, I’ve very happy with my items and I definitely think I’ve found my replacement for Victoria’s Secret. The prices are better and the quality seems to be better, and the hoodies are softer and schungglier than the V.S. ones I’ve bought in the past. I’ve already decided I need one of their sherpa lined hoodies before it gets much colder, and another pair of the sweatpants, okay and their sleep pants, and I’d love to try out a tee or two of theirs. What can I say, I’m obsessed and have definitely been converted to a Gilly Girl.
