Matching Set // Geode Necklace // Quilted Bag // Cut-Out Booties
I’m not usually a matchy-matchy kind of girl. My boyfriend can attest to that, considering that I constantly force him to change shirts if we’re ever wearing the same shade of anything (sorry babe!). Even my fingernails are never painted the same color as my toenails. But lately, I’ve been entertaining the idea of the matching set.
Matching Set // Bucket Bag // Leather Watch // Ankle-Strap Sandals
I never thought I had the je ne sais quoi to pull off the look, but the more I see it rolling down runways and onto the racks, the more I want to give it a shot. Because why not? Whether you’re dipping your toes into a fun print or a classic texture, there is plenty of experimentation to be had! And when you’ve given it a whirl, each piece is as perfect on its own. Check out how I would style a matching set and let me know what you think of the trend!
Matching Set // Bow Necklace // Bow Earrings // Colorblock Tote // Suede Pumps

There should be a day between Saturday and Sunday because I could really use some extra time in my life. Sadly, there’s not so I’ll just have to settle for getting dressed as easily as possible on Monday mornings.
Enter these insanely comfortable, pajama-inspired pants. I’ve never felt so at ease with a pair of pants before. Add a soft burgundy tee and you can bet that I’ll be rolling straight out of bed and into this outfit today.

I know, it’s been a while since I’ve written a weekly recap. It’s one of my favorite posts to write since it justifies my hours of aimless Internet surfing and online window shopping. Over the summer, it fell by the wayside because … it’s summer and adventures were calling. Well I’m back with my favorite thoughts, stories and sales of the week. Enjoy!
Back to School: So maybe my academic days are over, but I’ve been on a huge backpack kick lately. They make running/biking around the city so much easier! On my wish list: one, two and three. And in my wildest dreams: this one.
There’s No Place Like Home: I was back in Arizona all of last week for work and play. There’s no place like home and seriously no better place to get a burrito. I even smuggled two onto my flight back to NYC! Is a 3-ounce cup of salsa count TSA-approved?
Friend Request: LOFT is having their Friends & Family Sale this weekend! Take 40% off everything with code: SHAREIT. I have my eye on this fall romper, this camo jacket and this leopard tee.
Family Biz: While I was in AZ, my older brother played blog-photog for this post. I always get nervous when someone new takes my photos, but he was great, patient and didn’t scoff at my crazy demands. Is that too much to ask? 😉
Treat Yo’self: One of my teammates at work believes in treating yourself after a hard day/month/season of work and I couldn’t agree more. On my need-to-save-my-lunch-money wish list: this beauty. On my more-likely-to-purchase-now wishlist: this one. Thanks for the encouragement/internal conflict Tish!
Sneak Attack: Are you sick of me talking about slip-on sneakers yet? I wrote about them here and created another weekend look around them here. But for real, I need a calf-hair leopard pair and am seriously stalking options one, two and three.
And Baby Makes Three: Congratulations to my girl Lindsey on the newest addition to her family. How handsome is the new man in her life? And yes, every baby should come into this world with a personalized hashtag!
