Outfit deets:
* Old Navy jacket (old; similar)
* Accessories: Laundry by Shelli Segal fingerless gloves (similar texture, similar colour & splurge)  & Call It Spring circle scarf (old; similar, pretty grey option)

Just a quick post today on a couple outfits I shared on Instagram recently.  Not every outfit can be a 'photoshoot outfit' but I still like to share what I'm wearing (even for myself to look back for outfit inspiration!).

I've included links to similar items since a lot of my clothes are things I've had for a few years and I'm constantly re-styling them in different ways.  The boots up top I picked up in the Spring at BCBG super on sale and this was my first time wearing them--finally!  The sneakers below are the ones I picked up in Vegas back in June and something I've been rocking a ton on the weekends to run errands and shop (can't beat that comfort).

Hope you're having a great week! 

Outfit deets:
* Max Studio gauzy sweater (similar, similar, similar in black, more affordable option)
* Walmart cotton leggings
* Accessories: Forever 21 cross-body bag, seen here (similar, similar) & branch necklace (pricier option)

I wanted to start a new 'series' where I share some affordable finds when I come across them.  These will be items I would genuinely purchase myself, that are on trend, and at a great price point.

I absolutely love these boots and would totally buy them if I didn't already own this similar pair, plus they have all sizes available right now!  At under $50 they are a steal and I've had great success with GoJane in the past and purchased tons of shoes from them.  

I love the wedge heel on these--easier to walk in, especially if it's snowy outside but you want to dress up a bit.  I'd pair these with leggings, skinny denim and short skirts with oversized sweaters.

A few more affordable boots I'm loving, after the jump...

Filming videos and editing them is something I love to do but it's rarely seamless so I compiled a quick video with a few outtakes from the last year to laugh at.

Thanks for watching!

On Friday night I celebrated my good friend's birthday at Big Easy's in Little Italty.  We were a small group and the conversation flowed as well as the drinks did.

I wanted to share the photos I posted on Instagram of our trip to Barbados because I know not everyone has Instagram.  If you already follow me (I'm acoest1984), you can skip this post and come back on Monday, but if not, here's a few things you may have missed.

Also, if you wanted to see all the photos--shared by friends and myself--in a condensed format, we created an IG album under the hashtag #brilliantbarbadosbreakaway

Thanks for reading! xo
