Stylish Sundays: Keds Again

This is probably one of my favorite outfits right now. I’m pretty sure I just wore this to run some errands, but I must admit since I bought this tee it’s in almost constant rotation. I’m so in love with it.

Fashion and Happy Things!   Stylish Sundays: Keds Again

I know, I keep showing these Keds. Really they’re my current favorites. They’re so comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. I have so many other shoes that are being ignored right now, but time and time again I’m pulling these shoes out. They’re just so cute with everything, but I have to say I love them best with cuffed trousers like I’m wearing them here.

What’s your summer go to look? I pretty sure that this is mine.

 

Blogmas Day 20: What To Wear Christmas Eve

I’m not even going to say that today’s post is late. Late has become my usual time. I’m actually really excited about these two outfits so I’ll just jump right in.

Fashion and Happy Things!   Blogmas Day 20: What To Wear Christmas Eve

The casual outfit is first. Long line sweater from Gilly Hicks in red, looks festive and covers your bum. Which is important because these leggings from Topshop will keep you cozy and not feeling squished after you consume a plate or two of cookies, no judgements here it’s Christmas the season of cookies. These boots from H&M are too perfect and I adore this Modcloth Typewriter Necklace. Finish off the look with an Emi-Jay headband and you’re adorable and comfortable.

However the outfit I’m really in love with is the dressy outfit this year. This dress from Madewell, and while out of my budget I’m completely in love with it. Add some tights, these are from J.Crew, and these Satin Zara heels to dress it up a bit. Since the dress is embroidered keep it simple with stud earrings like these from Kate Spade and add in a few bracelets for an arm party (Bauble Bar, Bauble Bar and Kate Spade) and you’re good to go. I’m so in love with this outfit, it’s perfect and dressy.

What are you wearing for Christmas Eve? Personally I still have no idea what to wear. I decided not to buy anything new this year and now I’m regretting that decision.

 

Blogmas Day 12: Blogmas Block

Well guys, here is it day 12 and I’ve hit the dreaded blogmas block. Since I’m not a daily blogger, I’ve hit a sort of wall where I’ve run out of ideas. Normally when I have nothing to say, I just wouldn’t post that day, but since it’s Blogmas the posts must go on. Which means you get rambling and a photo of Howl covered in snow.

Fashion and Happy Things!   Blogmas Day 12: Blogmas Block

Yes this is from the same day we took sunday’s photos. Sometimes when there’s a lot of good ones I’ll hold some back to use at a later date.

I know I said in yesterday’s post that I would be staying in for exercise, but I ended up feeling guilty and taking Howl for a walk around my local track last night. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I wore my navy Gilly Hicks Hoodie with a long sleeve tee under it and a pair of the Victoria’s Secret Most Loved Yoga Leggings, and Fingerless gloves (and the evil much hated trainers) The only thing I would have changed is I would have worn my earmuffs that play music instead of my earbuds and I should have worn full gloves because my fingers were so cold. Other than that it was kinda nice.

I’ve lost my mind right? I actually do like winter, and I love the snow, so it was just a matter of keeping walking (not a problem with Howl trying to drag me down the hill) and concentrating on how pretty my snow covered park was. Howl and I were the only ones out, which I’m guess had something to do with the fact that it was 0°C outside. But I’m planning on doing it again very soon. Only with proper gloves and earmuffs this time.

Maybe I’ll do a winter exercise outfit post soon. I plan on having My Christmas Wishlist post up very soon.

 

 

Blogmas Day 11: Run Free

I’m not a runner, or even an exerciser by any means. I’m more of a put my headphones on and dance like an idiot in the kitchen when no one else is home kind of person.

But every year around this time I start thinking about working out or running. Which is stupid because it’s cold outside and I’m not even into being outside, like at all, ever. But I do, and then I obsess over it, work out for a few weeks, just long enough to buy myself some new workout gear, catch a cold and then pretend my treadmill and running shoes don’t exist until this time next year.

Fashion and Happy Things!   Blogmas Day 11: Run Free

I’m probably going to keep up the dance around the kitchen, or hit my treadmill in the basement until it warms up, because even more than I don’t do outside, I don’t do outside in the cold. But once it warms up I usually take my puppy for a walk around the local track a few times a week.

But I still love workout gear and tend to wear it even when I’m just going to be laying around the house that day, and these are the things that I’m really interested in purchasing early next year. I’ve still got a Christmas Spending Ban going on.

  • I’m completely in love with this running jacket from The North Face. Ever since I got one from Gilly Hicks when it was on major sale, I’ve wanted another one. This one is cute, colorful and warm, very important for the spring.
  • This super simple tank from Nike is perfect, wear it under the jacket in spring, and on it’s own in the summer. Bonus it’s cute enough to wear as an everyday piece of clothing too.
  • I adore Victoria’s Secret Bras and Sports Bras, I’d probably get a couple of their 2 for $50 ones, but this polka dotted Angel Sports Bra is really cute.
  • Early spring in Indiana is still cold. Sometimes it’s still cold straight through March, so these Cozy Tights from Under Armour are not only adorable but practical too. I prefer tights when I work out, and even in the summer I prefer cropped tights to running shorts.
  • I mentioned over summer that I absolutely hate my current running shoes. I really like the look of these Under Armour shoes and my son absolutely loves his pair so I’ll probably pick up these or something similar come spring time.
  • For my hair I tend to pull it back with an Emi-Jay hair tie, and since I’m growing out my bangs, I’d probably add a headband in. These in silver glitter are adorable.
  • And finally something that has been on my wishlist forever is the Jawbone Up in Mint Green. It’s probably irrational that I want this, but it’s really cute and I totally feel like it would push me to move more. Especially since it has the idle alerts feature. I’ll get sucked into a book and discover that I haven’t eaten or drank or even moved all day long. I think having a reminder to move would be perfect.

I am actually going to take Howl on a walk today, because he and I are both getting a bit stir crazy, but I don’t know how long we’ll stray away from the warmth of home since it’s 0ºC right now. So cold.

A Cheeky Little Gilly Hicks Haul

I adore Gilly Hicks. I adore the back story that the company has, I adore their Koala mascot. But most of all I adore their Hoodies. They’re so cozy and warm and absolutely perfect. I just want to spend all of my time in their Hoodies. So when they had a sale recently, I decided it was time for me to place a cheeky little order and I picked up two more hoodies.

First I picked out this Classic Full-Zip Hoodie in Green.Fashion and Happy Things!   A Cheeky Little Gilly Hicks Haul

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?
