A Pop of Plaid

Happy first Tuesday of December! It is only 22 days until Christmas, and that is just crazy! Today, I finally get to go back to New Jersey after all of the this insane winter weather, and I am excited to finish my Masters! Yes, like actually be done with the program and graduate!! More on that later 😊.

While home in Minnesota, it was VERY cold and snowy. I found myself reaching for my Dudley Stephens fleece every single day! I loved dressing it up and down, and wore it with this white skirt one day. I also picked up this plaid headband (totally copied Elsa, Carly and Phoebe on this one, but I HAD to have it!!). It adds the perfect pop of festiveness to any outfit! I have been loving pairing it with a neutral outfit, like the one here, so the headband is the statement of the look. 




I know I have talked A LOT about these fleeces on here, but let me just say a few more things (for now, haha)! I finally got to put this to the test in actually cold, snowy winter weather, and OMG still so warm! The turtleneck makes it so cozy that you do not really need a scarf when you wear it. The fleece is so cozy and a great thickness, so it really keeps you warm. I cannot recommend it enough! Again, here is a link for $25 off a fleece of your own! It is so worth it!





I would totally wear this outfit for a more casual, cozy holiday celebration. I love a good winter white/lighter neutrals look, and the headband just makes it a holiday look. You could easily wear winter boots, Bean Boots, or even Uggs (😂) with this to make it more winter friendly. You could also swap out the tights and fleece colors for darker colors if you are worried about being in mostly white colors. A lot of color ways of this outfit would still go with the cute, plaid headband!

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one ...
