Newbella Shoes Try-On & Review (two pairs of slip on shoes)

No Comments

We’re having a bit of an extra-long summer where I live, which means my warmer weather clothing and shoes get an extended stay in my closet and more chances to be worn. I’m totally okay with it though, because I love slip on shoe and sandal season. I have two great pairs of slip-on shoes to share from Newbella (shoes were gifted, but all thoughts & reviews are my own).

This first pair is an open toe mule style sandal. They’re the MOUSSE FIT Women Knit Detail Chunky Mule Sandals. I’m wearing them in the yellow, which adds a fun pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit. I had a hard time deciding between the green and the yellow– both colors are so fun! They’re soft and stretchy and the square toe is currently very on trend. They have a small block heel which makes them perfect to wear for all occasions–with dresses, skirts, jeans, or trousers!

The second pair of shoes I want to share are the MOUSSE FIT Women Knit Detail Flat Sandals. Again, they’re a comfortable slip on shoe and they’re made with a soft stretchy upper and a rubber sole. I chose the neutral apricot color, but again the green was a contender, and I also loved the look of the black. These are the PERFECT pair of shoes to slip on with any type of outfit. I paired them with jeans and a long duster cardigan, but they would look equally as cute with a dress or a skirt.

Wardrobe Essentials for Spring (Jeans and Tees)

No Comments

*the items I am wearing in this post were gifted by Mott & Bow, but all thoughts & opinions are my own*

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that basics make a wardrobe. Without good basics, you will feel like you consistently have nothing to wear & you won’t be able to create a cohesive feel in your wardrobe.
Some of my go-to basics include good jeans, neutral tees, layering pieces (lightweight for spring/summer & heavier for fall/winter), shoes in neutral colors that go with everything, bags in neutral colors, & gold jewelry.

Some of my favorite basics in the last few years have come from Mott & Bow. I own a couple pairs of their jeans & my husband does as well. My newest pair of jeans are the Slim Boyfriend Charlton Jeans in light blue– they are a mid-rise (which I LOVE because I’m petite), medium wash, lightweight jean. They are 98% cotton with 2% elastane, which means they are a slightly rigid denim, but they have some stretch to them. I have found them extremely comfortable to wear in my normal size.

Other basics that I love from Mott & Bow are their tees. The one I am wearing here is the Fitted Crew Marcy Tee in military green. I love a good crewneck tee & this one is soft and comfy. I sized up one because I don’t like to wear tight-fitting clothes & it fits well. The green is perfect for me, but it also comes in 12 other colors.

My other favorite basic tee from Mott & Bow is the Boxy Semi-Crop Noble Tee. I already own it in black & in white & I am SO glad to have the grey to add to my wardrobe since it is SUCH a staple for me. It is a preshrunk 100% cotton & hangs so nicely. I wear my true size & love how it looks tucked or untucked!

In these photos, I am wearing the Slim Boyfriend Mercer Jeans in the bone color, and they are a great white denim option. They aren’t see-through like a lot of white jeans & I am wearing them in my true size & they fit more loosely than the Charlton Jeans. These jeans are also made from 98% cotton & 2% elastane, making them a more rigid denim that still has a comfy amount of stretch to them.

If you’re in need of some high-quality basics to help build your wardrobe, definitely check out Mott & Bow. The quality is so good & their items will last for years to come.

3 cozy outfits for the winter season

No Comments

We’re in the thick of January & the winter temperatures seem to be just beginning. I’m hopeful the snow is here to stay & it looks like negative temperatures next week. For me, this means I want to be as cozy & as warm as possible, all while still trying to remain semi cute. I put together a few cozy outfits I’ll be wearing this winter with items from Pinkblush.

If you prefer video content, see the reel HERE.

This sweater is soooo soft and has a super cozy material. The color is a warm beige & it goes well with my Portland Leather Festival bag (my bag is the honey color) & my chelsea boots (my boots are the bourbon color)!

This sweater is such a pretty taupe color & is a lookalike for the popular free people easy street tunic. It works well for a casual outfit with jeans & is long enough to wear with leggings for an even comfier outfit.

I own these black linen pants in the taupe color & really love them so I wanted a black pair as well (they come in a bunch of colors). I love the thick waistband and the cute wide leg cut. They’re extremely comfy & cute. I paired them with this rib knit sweater & a pair of heeled black booties to make them more appropriate for winter weather.

Which cozy winter look would you wear?

3 Fall Items (Styling Each One Two Ways!)

I have been slacking on writing blog posts lately– it’s the final quarter of the year & life seems busier than ever! We’ve had a bunch of fall fun AND a bunch of sickness that comes with this time of year, so I haven’t been able to hop on here and post. Here are a few outfits from Pinkblush that I have been wanting to share for a little bit now!

I am sharing two photos of each item below– how I styled each item to share in a reel, and how I wore the items out and about.

If you prefer video content, you can watch my reel HERE.

This dress is so pretty- I love the neutral print, the mini length, & the deep v neck!
My boots and my mules are old, so I linked some similar pairs! my bag is The Festival Bag from Portland Leather goods in the honey color.

I’m obsessed with the color of this shacket. It’s called charcoal on the website and that’s a perfect description. It’s a pretty dark grey that goes with everything!
I linked a few similar options of items (my tan boots & my henley button top), everything else is linked as well!

This tan fleece button up is so cozy and perfectly oversized! Love it with my tan chelsea boots!
Everything is linked below– I got my blundstone boots from Zappos but also linked them on amazon for more sizes.
