Favorite Outfits of 2014


Cable Knit Sweater & Navy Polka Dot Pencil SkirtPolka Dot Pencil Skirt

Happy Monday friends!  I’m finally back from Europe and after catching 10 hours of zzz’s last night, I think I’m ready to be a functional human being again.  I can’t believe the new year is only a few days away.  To celebrate, I rounded up a few of my favorite outfits from 2014.  Enjoy!

Red Drop Waist Dress & Navy Bomber JacketBear Down x 100

What can I say?  I may live in NYC now, but I’ll always bleed red and blue and I’ll always be a sucker for a dropwaist dress.  Back in November, James and I went down to Tucson just a few days before we got engaged and shot this outfit in front of my favorite spot on campus.

Radiant Orchid High-Low Hem DressRadiant Orchid

I know I’ve toned it down a lot when it comes to color lately, but this radiant orchid dress is still one of my favorite outfits from New York Fashion Week last September.  And when your heels match the bike rack?  That’s just icing on the cake.

Sharing my tools to conquering NYFW on the blog today!A Sneaking Suspicion

Another NYFW favorite.  After a day of meetings and showroom visits in high heels, I slipped into sneakers, an embellished t-shirt and tweed shorts and never felt better!

Chicwish Neon A-Line Midi SkirtNeon Nouveau

Because nothing says over the top than a bright neon skirt (bonus points because it’s on sale!).

Yellow Summer Dress & Straw HatHello Sunshine

Ugh, someone take me back to St. Martinplease.  This outfit is the epitome of summer.  I’m so ready to bust out a bright yellow dress and floppy straw hat again.

Black & Pale PinkMonday Mantra

After a summer full of bright colors and bold patterns, it felt like a breath of fresh air to slip into something a little more minimal.  Toward the end of the season, a black cami and simple, soft skirt became my go-to formula.

Floral Print Romper and Straw HatFloral Forever

Here’s another flashback to my tropical vacation in May.  What I’d give to start wearing rompers right about now — then I’d definitely be adding this neon number and this floral print to my resort-wear arsenal.

Leopard Coat & Striped ShirtLeopard & Stripes

Because you know I will always be a sucker for leopard print anything.  I bought my faux fur coat a few winters ago, but there are so many affordable options these days.  I’m especially in love with the prints on this one and this one.  Get one and I promise you won’t regret it!

Skirt The Rules // Paris is Always a Good Idea

Happy Saturday!  We have one more day in Munich before heading back home.  I can’t even begin to describe how amazing of an adventure the past week has been — from the sights to the tastes to the shopping — I can’t wait to share it all with you soon.  But it hasn’t been all fun and games, from the airline losing my luggage to me subsequently developing a rash from toiletries I purchased as a replacement to the food poisoning I got from what I would’ve said was my favorite restaurant in Paris … let’s just say Europe has been a bit of a cruel mistress, but I love her anyway.  More stories to come!  In the meantime, here’s what’s on my radar this week:

Post-Holiday Deals

Post-Christmas SalesHappy holidays from Munich!  I spent my Christmas evening with my family at a 400-year old beer hall, watching as my dad, brother and fiancé threw back giant steins of beer.  If that doesn’t get you into the holiday spirit, I don’t know what does.  Anyways, now that the biggest holiday of the year comes to a close, the biggest sales of the year are just beginning.  I’ve rounded up a few of the best sales and some of my favorite pieces on major discount because now’s the time to get what you really wanted.

Ann Taylor just kicked off their biggest sale EVER: take 60% off your entire purchase.  I think I may have just found the perfect NYE dress (and a second-runner up).

Take an extra 50% off sale items at Banana Republic.  I’m thinking this little red dress or this black jumpsuit could make for perfect party outfits!

C. Wonder is offering 50% off your entire purchase, which basically never happens.  I’m loving their whimsical smoking slippers, this navy tuxedo jacket and as always, their monogrammed jewelry boxes.

You can take 30% off full-price items or 40% off sale items at J.Crew.  Still on the hunt for a warm winter coat? Their puffer jacket is on major sale, but I’m also partial to the faux-fur trimmed coat I bought last month or this wool hooded jacket in cobalt.

LOFT is offering 50% off your entire purchase.  I’ve had my eye on this leather-paneled dress, this burgundy peacoat and these embellished loafers.  Now’s the time to strike!

You can take an extra 30% off sale items at Madewell.  This 20’s inspired dress is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

Take an extra 60% off sale items at Piperlime.  I may or may not have already added this hot red dress and these strappy nude heels to my shopping cart.
