Happy December everybody:) Hopefully you already have a fabulous pair of winter booties, but don’t fret if your ankles are in need- I have found a well made pair that won’t break the bank. An important thing I look for in booties is obviously STYLE, but comfort is a major factor when I decide on what booties to buy.
These booties are definitely comfortable and cute! They are currently on sale for $84.90 (reg $99.95) at Nordstrom. Check out the nearly 1500 reviews if you’re undecided.
I am loving Faux suede baseball hats lately, they go with everything and look great dressed up or down. Faux suede is the perfect texture for fall is a great spin on a classic baseball cap. I wear mine with everything!!! Are you a baseball hat kind of girl? This is the hat for you.

I recently received my Mansur Gavriel bucket bag after almost two years of waiting. I’ve been wanting this bucket bag for a while and really love the black/flamma combination, which is lined in red leather. I love how simple the design is with a fun pop of color. The bags are highly coveted and made in Italy in small batches which is why they sell out SO FAST! I am totally obsessed with my new bag and wanted to share it with you along with an affordable alternative.
Mansure Gavriel bucket bags come in a variety of colors and sizes. You can choose from various colors for the lining as well. These bags are highly functional and move from day to night effortlessly.
Mansur Gavriel $395-$695 (depending on size.)
Urban Outfitters Budget friendly alternative (just a gorgeous)$44
The latest IT shoe that has taken over all of your favorite bloggers Instagrams and countless magazine pages is a new take on a traditional silhouette. These are not your average ballet flats. First Spotted on the runway at fashion week and now seen just about everywhere, The pointy lace up flat is the shoe of the Summer and will be even hotter throughout Fall & Winter. The flat design keeps the shoes comfy and practical while the lace up detail adds just enough “sexy” to elevate the shoe to an entirely new level without being over the top.
These can be worn day or night with pretty much anything from dresses to ripped jeans. Mine arrived over the weekend and I have not put them back in their box since.

Last week on while on my “treatyoself” binge, I treated myself to this Gap sweater among other things. This sweater is super lightweight, which is great for these warm California winters. It also has cute elbow patch detail and a great high low hem!

I love boots in all forms, but I am especially fond of the ankle-ish height of the “bootie”. I love how they can be worn year round and in many ways. This shorter sister to the traditional boot can be thrown over leggings, worn with shorts and dresses. Jeans can be tucked into, bunched up or rolled above them. The possibilities are endless! Below are some of my favorite booties I’ve come across in recent months. I personally love wearing my jeans tucked into or scrunched up with my booties, but there are NO rules!

Happy Friday everyone, I hope your week has been amazing thus far. This week’s find is an eye shadow palette that will help you achieve a neutral smokey eye without breaking the bank. If a smokey eye is not your thing, you can apply the shimmery tones alone for a soft pretty look. The colors in this palette look great on all skin tones and aren’t “too crazy” if you’re just getting into eye color. Palettes are great because you can take them anywhere and they have everything you need all in one place.
This palette includes 10 shadows and a double-sided brush in a mirrored case!!
$19.95 Available HERE.
