Enjoy a Cozy Winter with Peach!

By

This is my favorite time of year!   As the chill in the air has arrived so comes the time to bundle up with fabulous warm cozy outfits!  I am excited to show you the new Winter ’19 Collection from Peach.  This collection is called Nordic Lights, and it might be my favorite yet from Peach!  They describe it as ‘Cozy meets Festive’ and I would have to totally agree as these pieces can take you from brunch to parties, or a football game to lounging by a fire.  All the things I love to do this time of year!  I decided to pick a few great outerwear pieces for myself as well as a ‘Chic’ jogger set that I absolutely love and wanted to share with you, so here they are.

 

First up is this fabulous Faroe Sherpa Jacket.  I selected the color Cloud because I just love wearing white in the winter.   I love it as shown here with denim and booties, but this jacket has taken me to the gym in the cold morning hours.  It is so cozy and I love that it is fully lined.  It is designed to give a relax fit and I purposely sized up one size (Size Small) and I am really happy I did.  This jacket ranges from XXS to XXL and also comes in a beautiful rose color as well.  I can’t say enough great things about this great piece.

Next up is this adorable Polar Pom Hoodie in the color Carbon.  I mean, can you ever be too old for Pom Poms??  I can’t tell you how many compliments I have gotten on this fun cropped jacket.  There are so many great details on this jacket, from the faux fur hoodie, to the velvet draw string cords.  It is the perfect versatile piece that works with jeans, leather pants and even your favorite pair of leggings.  It is also fully lined and it is so soft and cozy.  I would say this jacket is true to size (I am wearing an XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL and comes in the color Cloud.  If you are wanting to stand out in the crowd, treat yourself to this fabulous jacket!

I might have saved the best for last with this luxurious stretch velvet  Sofie Sweatshirt and Sofie Joggers.  I knew the minute I laid my eyes on these pieces I wanted to get it as a set, but they both stand on their own seperately.  Lets start with the top, I love the oversized funnel neckline with the drawstring detail.  This fabric is so fabulous, you won’t want to take it off.  I stayed true to size on this top (Size XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL.  If you are a ‘pink’ kind of girl, it also comes in a beautiful Blush color.  Now onto these super chic and comfy Sofie Joggers.  They are also stretch velvet and so cozy you might want to sleep in them!  They have an elastic waistband with an internal drawcord, my favorite thing are the pockets!  They are suppose to have a relaxed look, so I sized up one size (Size Small) and they gave me the fit I was looking for.  They range from XXS to XXL.  I decided to style them for you as I would wear them to a fun night out by adding these leopard booties and a great bag.  But of course, it is the perfect errand running outfit or travel ootd by adding a fun sneaker.  Either way, I promise you this outfit will be on major repeat!

I highly encourage you to check out this entire Nordic Lights Collection and pick yourself up one or two pieces to add to your winter wardrobe.  I would love to hear from you what your favorite pieces are in the comments below.

Still ‘WILD’ about Peach!

By

A while back I introduced you all to my favorite activewear line Peach ! I am here to say that they are still my #1 go to for athleisure wear but also amazing wardrobe Fall and Winter wardrobe staples with the launch of their new Autumn 19 Collection ‘Into the Wild’ !

Let’s start off with this fabulous look that to me fall under athleisure wear AND also casual chic style!  I am wearing their Kora Pullover in this rich color Garnet (size S).   The satin detailing along the sides is gorgeous and the fit is a relaxed fit.  I sized up one size to give me a bit more length for wearing with leggings.  And speaking of leggings, can we just please talk about these FABULOUS Nina Leggings also in Garnet! (Size XS). These are beyond show stopping, with their leather-like front they will truly elevate any look!  I love wearing these pieces together, but they totally stand on their own.  Both pieces come in other colors but I highly suggest the garnet color as I promise you will get heads to turn in this beautiful rich color!

Now, to demonstrate my comment about how Peach is now my ‘go to’ for wardrobe staples, this amazing Mara Moto Jacket (sz XS) is from their new Autumn Collection!  I selected this beautiful Khaki color, but it also comes in a beautiful shade of olive.  This jacket is made of a stretch vegan suede, and has fabulous silver hardware details.  You won’t believe the best part of this jacket…….wait for it……..it is MACHINE WASHABLE!!  I promise this piece will be on major repeat for me all Fall and Winter!

I might have saved the best for last!  You all know much I love wearing dresses, and this gorgeous Marula Dress in black (sz XS)  jumped off the page for me and I knew I needed it in my closet ASAP!  It is the absolute perfect combination of Chic and Comfy!  The fabric is a French terry with polished satin details along the sides which elevates this dress to the nines!!!  I love it paired here with snakeskin boots, but I also can’t wait to style it with some fun sneakers for an edgy street style look.

You all know that I only share what I love and would wear myself and I am so honored to be a Peach Ambassador.  I am so impressed with all the pieces that I own from them and I give them the highest recommendation.  Make sure to check out this Autumn 19 Collection and don’t hesitate on ordering as their pieces tend to go fast as they are truly the ULTIMATE in style and quality.

How To Look Chic Yet Comfy – Athleisure wear

By

 

I don’t know about you, but I love looking Chic yet feeling comfy. No one wants to go out in their PJ’s, but with the new athleisure trend you can look chic, but feel comfortable.

 

I am sharing my current athleisure favorites with you as well as where I like to shop for the best looks.

I tend to keep my colors in black, white, and grey tones.  I might add an accent color in either my shoes, bag or maybe a layering piece.  When you do that, I find it makes it so much easier to get dressed and know you are looking very stylish and comfy at the same time.

 

 

 

 

Any of these looks (featured above) could be worn running errands, going to a hair appointment or even when it is your turn to volunteer at school.

Some of my favorite places to shop for athleisure wear is Lululemon (of course), Old Navy, Aerie, Loft (Lou & Grey line) and Gap.

 

I hope this post might help you as a guide to put some great athleisure outfits together from pieces you have in your closet, or use them as a guide when you go shopping for some great basic pieces to add to your wardrobe.

 

xoxo,

Classic Black and White

By

Classic Black & White Outfit www.50shadesofstyle.com

I believe there is nothing more classic (and simple) to put together than a black and white outfit.  I can’t tell you how many compliments I received when I ventured out today to run some errands around town.

The best part is how affordable these pieces are.  The top and the jeans are from Old Navy (one of my favorite places to shop for basic pieces for my wardrobe).  These black slides are by Steve Madden (purchased on sale from DSW) and this amazing fedora (sounds so fancy) is from……are you ready?????  Target!!!

So, the next time you are having a ‘moment’ and can’t figure out what to wear for the day, go for a tried and true black and white ensemble and watch how many compliments you will get too!
