Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / MAC Lipstick / sweatshirt c/o SheIn (under $25!) / Mansur Gavriel handbag / Gap studded black jeans (on sale) / Kendra Scott druzy ring / Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish / Tory Burch booties (on major sale!!)

The cold winter temperatures are here! When it is cold outside, I love staying cozy in casual outfits. This particular outfit has become my go-to winter look on cold days. I love the casual, urban vibe of this sweatshirt from SheIn, and these cozy booties are so comfy!

Although cropped jeans, flares, and boyfriend jeans have moved past skinny jeans in popularity, I still love wearing my skinny jeans on cold days. They don’t let in any cold air! Love that! haha Maybe as temperatures rise in the spring season, I will go back to my boyfriend jeans, and my cropped jeans; but for now, skinny jeans are my comfort pants.

This is a great sweatshirt for winter. I love the hood on the back, which comes in handy when the wind kicks up and I want to protect my hair; as well as stay warm! What is even better, is the price! This cute little hoodie is priced under $25, making it an affordable comfort. Love that!

You can find my urban hoodie online here. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by!

Do you have a tech savvy person on your holiday shopping list? Wondering how much you need to pay to get her something she will love? Don’t feel intimidated, there are some extremely affordable gift options for the tech savvy girl on your Christmas list from Ankit.

I was recently introduced to Ankit. They have so many fabulous gift products for everyone on our holiday shopping lists! I love all of their affordable tech gear. The noise cancelling headphones are amazing. Not only do they have a cute floral pattern, they actually cancel outside noise and allow you to enjoy what you are listening to. As a busy Mom who needs some “me time,” this is extremely luxurious! If you have someone who loves tech gadgets, and needs some “me time,” then these headphone will be the perfect gift!

If you have been following along, you know I attend fashion week twice a year. During fashion week, I am using my phone constantly without many opportunities throughout the day to charge it up. I rely on portable phone chargers to get me through the day. I love this portable phone charger by Ankit, It is slim, making it easy to slip inside the interior pocket of my handbag. It also charges my almost-dead iPhone 7 up to 100% in no time flat. Love that! If you have a busy girl on your holiday gift list, this is perfect! You can find my portable phone charger online here.

Lastly, when tooling around town, it is nice to be able to charge my phone. I love this car phone charger from Ankit. It has the cutest little pattern on it, and it works like a charm to keep me charged up while I am driving a long distance, or taxing my kids around. This too would be a great gift for the busy, tech savvy girl on your list. Love!

Ankit has so many fabulous tech gear gift items, you can’t wrong with your choice! Here are all my favorites from Ankit. They make great stocking stuffers as well as main gifts for under the tree. Love!

Stripes are so much fun! I have always loved stripes, but after seeing them splashed all over the spring 2017 runways, I became more enamored with the pattern than ever before.

This black and white striped dress from SheIn is perfect for rocking the horizontal stripes trend right now, and into next year. The fabric is lightweight, and easy to care for. So for cold days, it can be warmed up with booties, a scarf, and a jacket. I love how this dress also looks topped off with a moto jacket; or any leather jacket!

If you want to wear a striped dress casually, this particular dress can easily be paired with sneakers or slip-on sneakers for a casual, street style look. You can top the look off with a bucket bag or backpack. Voila! Instant street cred 😉

When the warm spring months hit, this striped dress from SheIn will look amazing with block heel slides and a statement necklace. I love owning pieces which are fun to style, and easily transition between seasons.

Since stripes are a hot trend right now, you can’t wrong with a striped dress to take you from now into next year! See below for all my favorite striped dresses from SheIn; all under $50! Love that!
