Happy New Year ladies!  I know, I'm a few days late but hopefully you don't mind me taking a few days to recover and relax.  I'll be sharing a full recap of the weekend tomorrow but wanted to hope on and say hello.

First, wanted to send a big hug to all of you that come and hang out with me, whether daily or every now and again--thanks for keeping up, sending love and all the support.  I love connecting with you on here, so thank you.

Finally, the little collage above is a fun option where you can find your most liked photos on Instagram from the year; you can make yours here.  Also, if you'd like to follow along on Instagram, I post a ton on that there never makes it to the blog (I'm acoest1984).

Hope you had a great weekend and see you tomorrow!



Hi ladies--as promised, today is the last day but if you're in a shopping mood, I'm sharing my picks from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.

The Hunter Boots above in red aren't on sale but they have a pair with a cool zipper up the back that are.  These boots never go on sale, so if you're looking for a pair, now is the time to scoop 'em up.

MY PICKS (CLICK TO SHOP)

The crisp white blazer is so pretty and simplistic, perfect with some distressed denim or to the office with a pencil skirt.  I'm loving the lace on the velvet shorts and they are such a great price point.   

The long dress is on the pricier side (under $300 though) and would be beautiful for a special occasion and of course I had to throw in a short LBD.  

Fringe, collars and flared denim are all things I'm still really loving, and you can never go wrong with distressed, black skinnies.




O U T F I T  D E E T S :  SEQUIN DRESS (SIMILAR GOLD, GREEN & ROSE GOLD)  |  REPORT SIGNATURE HEELS -- OLD (SPLURGE, BUDGET FRIENDLY)  |  EAR CUFF  |  BANGLES

I wanted to share one more look for New Years Eve because I got this dress for Christmas from my parents after my Mom saw it on my Black Friday post, again #wishlistFTW

Sequins are a natural choice for New Years Eve but I love that this dress is in a totally unexpected colour.  I am a huge fan of sequin dresses, or anything for that matter, and especially love how this one has sleeves.  Since it's on the short side, I paired mine with a nude fishnet tight, but opaque black tights with a black shoe or bootie would work, as would bare legs if you're in a slightly warmer climate.




O U T F I T  D E E T S :  ROMPER (CURVY OPTION)  |  BELT  |  HEELS  |  EARRINGS  |  LIPSTICK

New Years Eve is a few days away, do you have plans?

This year, we are heading out so I'll be wearing this fun, sparkly playsuit I shared in my Holiday Lookbook.  New Years is a great time to pull out all the sparkle, sequins & special fabrics, so why not make it simple and do it in a one-piece to take the guess work out of it.

I went all out sparkle with the shoes, but this would look equally great with a black pump, or my favourite, a coloured heel like these.



Good morning ladies!  Happy Monday & post Christmas week!

I wanted to do a round up of Christmas in this edition of the Weekend Recap since it all kind of bled together.  We had three wonderful days off, that were busy and relaxing so onto the snaps.

Christmas Eve is my Dad's birthday, and I shared this photo on Instagram...
