Chicago Shopping | Mini Haul

Hi lovely reader! Yesterday I shared my "Chicago Photo Diary" with you and today I wanted to share some of the things I purchased while in the city with a mini haul! 

One of the first things that I purchased was from Sephora and it is this "fresh cream" rollerball by philosophy.  It smells absolutely delicious, like cupcakes and frosting at a sweet soiree. It is by far     one of my favorite scents that I have owned and I will definitely be purchasing a bottle when my rollerball runs out!

I love this t-shirt so much! I purchased it from the Disney Store and think it is absolutely perfect. The black bands around the neck and sleeves sold me for sure. The only downside to it was that it was a large, but I think with a careful wash, it might shrink a bit and be perfect with some skinny jeans, classic reeboks, and a scrunchie. 

Speaking of scrunchies, I purchased these two from Topshop. I love the prints because I think that they will go with a lot. They also have the wiring in the bow bit so that you can adjust them to lay how you like. 

I have been really into marbled things lately so I was excited when I found these double sided earrings at Nordstrom. The marbled ball goes in the front and then the gold cubes in the back. I like that they are versatile too, if your hair is down you don't really see the backs as much but with an updo, both sides show and make for a cool look.

Last but not lease, I purchased these Steve Madden "Purfect Flats" from Nordstrom Rack. I was drawn to these because the neutral and black color will go well with most of my closet and also because I see these as being able to be worn with jean shorts and a tshirt, as well as a nice summer dress.

So there are some of my favorite purchases from my time in Chicago, where do you like to shop in the city? Xx

Christmas Party OOTD | Blogmas

Hey lovely reader! Yesterday was our annual Christmas party with my Dad's side of the family. It was a great success and filled with laughter, food, and festivities. I wanted to share what I wore with you.

This top is by Topshop, but I got it last year at Nordstrom. It's an off-white cream color and is made from a textured knit fabric. 

I also got these pants last year from TJ Maxx. I love them because they are high waisted and made from a thick, super stretchy material.

I got these classy little smoking flats from H&M. 

I ordered this gorgeous ear cuff from Nasty Gal. I love it and am totally into the ear cuff trend!

What are you wearing to your holiday parties? Xx

Little Winter Fashion Haul

Recently I bought a few things to refresh my winter wardrobe and thought I'd share them with you. I got a cute crew neck sweatshirt from Urban Outfitters . I had seen all the cute takes on Céline tshirts and sweatshirts a while ago, but had never purchased one. Then as I was looking through the sale rack I found this gem and had to get it! I love Céline Dion so this was a perfect fit for me:) I plan on wearing it with skinny jeans and sneakers or boots and maybe a chunky necklace. 

I also bought a pair of cream frilly socks from Topshop along with a cream sleeveless top that has a little mock turtle neck (I may or may not have completely made that term up). I though the socks would be perfect for my ankle boots. (I'm thinking about doing a winter shoe post, would you like that?) I think the top will look nice with a pair of high waisted jeans or skinny black dress pants. 

While I was out I also picked up a super cozy sweater that again I will wear with skinny jeans or black skinny pants.

 I grabbed a pair of festive socks too:) 

Hope you enjoyed that little haul! Have you bought any cute wintery clothes lately? I'm starting to really get excited for Christmas!!! Have a cozy day! Xx
