Didn’t expect to be moving 2200 miles away from Chicago for New years 2015, but here we are. I’m grateful that 2015 has been a year of learning, growth and awesome opportunities. We are overjoyed to spend 2016 putting new roots in California! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite looks I hope you enjoy. I thank God I can do something I love, and YOU for your constant support!

So sometimes I like to consider this blog my running Christmas list. For instance, please notice this black and white jacket I’m wearing. Can you imagine Winter without this jacket? I didn’t think so. It’s unexpected texture for that last minute New Years Eve fête that adds a little something extra to my busted knee jeans and tee game. I know, I know, you can thank me later.

If you’re wondering how to winterize your look without wearing a coat, it’s really quite simple. Basically it all comes down to great layers, such as a chunky knit sweater or faux fur stole, or a turtleneck and faux fur vest, and paired with great jeans, naturally. I love dresses and skirts but I absolutely will always feel my best in jeans, hands down. Since I can’t always get to the store, or it’s not worth bringing my boys and a bajillion snacks, I’ll often hit up Nordstrom online. If I’m on the fence about sizing, I order both sizes and return one. And you never need to worry about hassle because the customer service is amazing. I love how these RES Denim move with just the right amount of stretch and rips. I also have been gramming a lot of the black version of these jeans as well. (Note: fit is true to size.) Ps. Can’t wait for palm trees in the background and not snow!
