Spring Dresses and White Tees

Happy Tuesday! If you live anywhere in the North east and along the East coast you are probably getting hit with a crazy snow storm. I am currently sitting in my office typing away while a winter wonderland is blowing through the town. It is actually kind of cozy, at least while we still have power. :)

Paperback Boutique is where my two outfits are from and can I just say how much I love, love this floral dress? The fit is perfect and lays just at the perfect length. It has a little choker detail on the dress, adding some more creative details and of course the floral trend is so hot right now. I just happen to be obsessed with florals (if you haven't noticed) so I am elated that they are currently trending. The dress also has a cinched waist which is always flattering on every body type. I will link the outfit details below, but you can also find the dress located here.

The white shirt was also complimentary from Paperback. The fit of this top is very flattering. It is fitted by the bust and slightly flares out at the bottom. The sleeves also have a little bit of a belle sleeve shape. Bell sleeves are another trend that is hot right now. I love that the top had a bit of a flow to the shape without losing the complimentary form. Sometimes I forget just how much I love white tops until I add accessories to them. A white top and jeans have endless possibilities to them.  The white top is currently sold out, but there is a white sweater listed on the site with a little bit of a similar shape to it.

XOXO,

The Perfect Spring Shoe

Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and was able to find some time to relax. I spent the weekend in bed unfortunately, fighting off what looks like the flu or a similar virus. My poor babes have been sick most of the week and it looks like I came down with it as well. Good thing is we are all on the mend and ready to take this week head strong!

Todays blog I am sharing one of my new favorite pair of shoes, one that will easily become a staple in my closet this summer and spring. I saw this pair of shoes last year and fell in love and knew I needed to have them in my wardrobe once this winter weather came to an end. You may have seen this style around on different sites, however I can attest to how amazingly comfortable this pair is from Restricted Shoes.

This pair called Weekday from Restricted Shoes is available in 3 different colors. The nude pictured above, black and a whiskey or cognac color. Personally I loved the nude, I felt like it easily went with most outifts. There is a zipper detail in the back making the shoes easier to take on and off rather than having to tie/untie every time. 

The shoes are incredibly comfortable to walk in. I had them on all day earlier this week running errands and meeting friends for dinner and never once thought about my feet. Since the heel is a thicker block heel, I felt that it allowed the shoes to maintain their comfort level for a longer period of time. I was very impressed with the quality of the shoes as well. They are faux leather however the material was thick and sturdy and has a very similar look and feel to leather. Some faux leather shoes I have found to be very cheap appearing and that is NOT the case at all for these heels.

If you have been crushing on these shoes as long as I have, I have a special discount for you to use that will take 25% off these or any pair of heels from the Restricted website. 

Use Code: BLYNNE25

I love how versatile these heels are and can be worn with so many different looks. I think I need to pair them with a maxi next, if only this weather would cooperate and warm up a little. :) 

XOXO,

The Must Have Bag for Spring

Happy Thursday! I hope you were able to make it through your week without too many difficulties. Tomorrow is Friday and who doesnt love a good fri-yay?! As every weekend goes by it means we are one week closer to spring, which for us Northern folks that means sun and heat. I am soooo ready for some warm weather.

This spring I really am loving the styles that are trending. One big trend that you will see throughout stores and online is neutrals. Neutrals are always a great choice. They are classy, clean looking, and easy to accessorize. 

I have been on the prowl for the perfect sized taupe bag and I FINALLY found it. This leather bag is from Cocovann and I absolutely love it! I have been looking for several weeks for the perfect bag and this leather satchel is everyting I was looking for. As soon as I opened the package i instantly fell in love with the purse. It really is such a beautiful bag!

DETAILS...

The size of the bag was large enough that I could fit my belongings in but not so large that it became a burden to carry for long periods of time. The shape of the bag held, which was important for me. I am on the go all the time and with children my bags get tossed around. The shape of the bag has stayed the same since it has arrived in the mail. There are several pockets along the side of the purse; perfect for you phone, lip glosses, gum and everything else we like to cram in. :) I have received so many compliments on this bag and I would 100% put my stamp of approval on this hot spring item. 

Cocovann has been gracious ebough to offer my followers a 40% dsicount on all the "AW16" bags (including this one). Normally this bag retails for $269, but by using code BRIANNAXCOCO40, you can get the bag for $162. For an all leather bag, this is worth every penny. The code is good until March 16, so if you need sometime to sleep it over, take a few days and then browse through the pictures again. 

If you do purchase a bag, tag me in your photos so I can see how stunning you look! Have a great almost weekend!

Gray Wrap Crossover Sweater

Happy Monday! This week is Valentines week, who is ready and who still needs a few more days? I definately fall in the need more time category. I still have yet to get anything for the hubby. Lets see what I can come up with in the next 12 hours! Any idea are very much welcomed.

One thing I do know is that this sweater is for sure one of my favorites this winter. I love how versatile it can be! I think my preferred style is having the wrap located in the back, personally for me I think it is too low cut in the front, plus it adds so much more detail. The material on the sweater is very comfortable and soft and easily conforms to the body. I like wearing clothes that conform to me, rather than finding myself adjusting them all day. Am I right or am i right?! :) This eact sweater sold out (I know, Im sorry) but I found a sweater that is very similar in looks and material. Shop the look below!

XOXO,

Brianna

New Years Eve Attire

Gina and Kate is one of my all time favorite boutiques for dresses. Their quality of dresses is amazing and they are so incredibly soft! Their boutique has been such a joy to work with and I am always impressed with the dresses when I receive them in the mail. I had this dress in mind for New Years Eve as soon as I saw it. I was looking for something that was classy and elegant to wear. I have a petite frame so finding dresses that dont swallow me can be hard to do. This dress I paired with a fur belt to give it even more of a winter feel.

This particular dress zips up the back and has a button closure at the top. Best part is that it is less than $60! There is even free shipping. If I am ever on the fence about clothes, if I see that free shipping sign I am sold! Gina and Kate always have free shipping, so keep that in mind while you shop. I am wearing a size small for reference. Click on any photo to take you straight to the site and as always tag me in your pictures if you purchase so I can see these beautiful looks on you!

XOXO,

Shein Red Holiday Dress

I can’t say enough good things about this dress! First off my inner 90’s kid is screaming that I can wear sequins again as an adult. I obsoletely loved the holiday look this dress has to offer. Who says sexy has to consist of showing skin? This sleek and modest look just blew sexy out of the water while keeping it classy. The inside of this dress was soft and comfortable and the sequins did not make it uncomfortable at all.

This dress zips up in the back and and has such a flattering figure to it. As soon as I put it on my oldest daughter was squealing asking when she could wear it. The best part is that the dress is under $30! That is such a great price for a dress right in time for the holidays. I am wearing a size small for reference. I was very pleased with the quality of this dress and shipping time. You only have a short time before Christmas, so if you love this dress and price as much as I did I would buy one today! 

XOXO,

Shein Striped Dress

This is my new current favorite dress! I cannot say enough good things about it. First off the material is sooooo comfortable. You know those amazing high count thread sheets that you love to sleep in? I secretly think this dress is made from those sheets! Ok, maybe not but one can dream. 

This dress was fitted but still had some room for comfort. It also had a little bit of flow to it so I could pair it with a long cardigan. This dress is perfect for all season. I especially love pairing stripes in the fall with a deep mustard color. In the winter I can pair it with some tights and over the knee boots and once the weather warms up a bit in the spring I can wear it by itself. 

The best thing about the dress is that it is currently on sale for $12. Is that not an amazing price for a dress that can carry you through all the seasons? You can never go wrong with a complimentary striped dress with an amazing price. I have linked the site information here. www.shein.com

If you are wondering about the cat, my daughter thought it would be a fun idea if I posed with it. How do you say no to a 5 year old? :)

XOXO,

Brianna

THML Fall LookBook

Big comfy sweaters are my favorite fall trend. The saying “the higher the hair the closer to heaven”, I feel can be relatable when you put on your oversized snugly shirt for the day. Sweaters are just so inviting and if it is a gloomy day, forget about it I am making my way to the couch for a quick nap.

 This sweater is from THML Clothing Company. I am the least bit a fan of turtlenecks because of the constraint on your neck but I love the warmth they provide. This sweater featured below had the perfect compromise to my problem. The neckline almost appears to be a scarf and the button details add the cutest touch.

Stripes are always a flattering look and I love that these stripes are neutral. I have been on a big neutral kick lately and this sweater had me swooning as soon as I saw it. Some sweaters can leave an itchy irritated feeling, especially if there is material around your neck. This sweaters fabric was light enough that the material did not cling to your body but still added enough warmth without any irritation.

This drape front jacket is so cozy and fun to wear. The oversized grey look to me just appears to have a London-esque look . I have no idea why but it does. The plaid long sleeves could not have added a more fall appearance even if I tried. Typically I am not a fan of plaid, however this had just enough pop of design yet still subtle enough to be able to be paired with multiple outfits.

I recently went to a birthday celebration that was outside and it was COLD. Most people attending were wearing winter coats and all I brought was a thick sweater and this jacket. Needless to say I was not the least bit cold. I was pleasantly surprised at how warm I stayed in the jacket. The jacket itself was not heavy but provided the warmth and comfort that I needed.

You can find these looks and many more on the THML Clothing website, www.thmlclothing.com. Check out their fall look book for many more sophisticated pieces. 

XOXO,

Brianna

"Grace"ful Motto Leggings

It is my favorite time of year! Fall is my favorite season and New York is known for having some of the most gorgeous scenic views during these next couple months! Along with the pumpkins, hay rides, and lattes come my next favorite thing, fall fashion! Every year I just can’t seem to get enough boots, scarfs, and leggings. These motto leggings from Gracie James are such a hot item right now for fall! Anything motto is currently trending right now, and these leggings are on the top of the list for fall fashion.

One of my favorite things about leggings is the comfort that comes with it. Sometimes it can be hard to get a full description of an item from just a picture, so let me break it down for you. These leggings feel like a jean, but have a slight stretch in them allowing for room and comfort. The zipper on the bottom allows them to slide onto the leg easier, avoiding the awkward dance/jump most of us have to do to put our pants on. You know what I am talking about right?!! The design on the pant leg draws attention, making the leggings more unique however it still allows for tops that have designs to be worn without clashing patterns. Best part of all???? They are slimming! Can we just stop for a minute and thank the good Lord when our thighs look a little slimmer after a weekend of indulging in pizza? Please tell me I am not the only foodie out there, where are my Italian sisters? :)

The ladies in the shop have been such a joy to work with and offered all of my followers a 15% discount using code “SAVVY15”. Last I heard these leggings were selling out like loaded fries at a food truck rodeo so grab a pair now if you are interested! 

XOXO Brianna
