In case you haven’t noticed, I have been having a love affair with this classic turtleneck sweater. I find myself reaching for it multiple times per week. I love it so much, I purchased it in blue, pink, and black! I could not pass up the fabulous sale price on this sweater; and the fact that is so cute!

This sweater is cozy, and the turtleneck is loose; so I don’t have to worry about an itchy, binding turtleneck. Love that! The sweater works well in moderate weather with a tank top underneath, and also in cold weather, below 40 degrees, with a long sleeve tee. When the temperatures dip into the 30’s, the addition of a blanket scarf makes it the perfect wardrobe staple in the winter months. It is also easy to layer underneath a warm coat.

Another thing I love about this turtleneck sweater, is that it can be dressed up or dressed down. I love how it looks with jeans on casual days, and I love the polished look it gives to skirts on dressier days. It also can be worn with a blanket scarf to add color or texture to an outfit, or a long necklace for a more formal look. Without a scarf or necklace, this turtleneck sweater offers a minimalist look which is clean and fresh. I can wear it with everything! Love!

If you find yourself in need of a classic, versatile, turtleneck sweater to wear right now; and next year, definitely check this one out! It comes in so many colors and neutrals; and it is on crazy sale! Can’t beat a great deal 🙂

If you decide to snap up this fabulous sweater which can be found online here, let me know which color or colors you come away with!


Larimar ring

Pictured: Earrings: Kendra Scott / Sunglasses: Chanel / Lipstick: Chanel Mighty / Sweater: White + Warren (less exp. option here) / Skirt: vintage Missoni (also love this one) / Handbag: Givenchy (similar here) / Ring: c/o Official Larimar Shop / Nail Polish: Dior Bleuette / Boots: Tory Burch (on sale!)

Larimar jewelry is absolutely beautiful. So, when I received this Larimar ring, I was dazzled by it’s beauty! The Larimar stone is a fabulous, light turquoise gem with small streaks of white in it. I love how, in this ring, it is set with a pearl in silver. I also love the bypass style of the ring.

When I was putting together an outfit around the ring, I knew I had to pair it with my light blue vintage wool skirt by Missoni. The blue in the ring, and the blue tweed in the skirt, played well together.

I love how well-made the Larimar ring is, and color is just spectacular. I am looking forward to wearing this ring often, and for many years to come! I have only had the ring for about one week, and I am already wearing it almost everyday! Love!

Larimar has so many jewelry options on their website. I am in love with their cuffs, and their earrings are stunning! I definitely want to add more Larimar jewelry to my collection.

The Larimar stone is found in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean, around the Dominican Republic. The Larimar stone is created by volcanic activity, and is considered a powerful throat chakra. It is believed to aid in the expression of emotions. Love that!

The perfect blue hue of the Larimar stone makes it ideal for wearing this spring season. It will look amazing paired with shades of blue, and this season’s rose and blush hues. I cannot wait to wear this ring often!

Culottes for winter

culottes and boots for winter culottes and mansur gavriel for winter outfit culottes and turtleneck sweater outfit for winter culottes for winter outfit idea culottes turtleneck sweater blanket scarf winter outfit DSC_0460mansur gavriel handbag styled with culottes winter outfit culottes turtleneck sweater

I originally purchased these culottes for New York Fashion Week last September. These culottes are a basic piece which I find easy to style for any weather, any season. I love how they look like a skirt, fooled my husband (haha), until you start walking! I am not sure how long they will remain in style, but I hope I can wear them for a few more seasons since they are an alternative to a pencil skirt, or trousers.

It was a really cold day when I wore this outfit for church, and then dim sum at Sino on Santana Row. The boots, sweater, and blanket scarf, kept me cozy while we walked around outside in the chilly air. I am not sure how I survived in past winter seasons without a blanket scarf! They are so much easier to wear than jackets; especially when the weather fluctuates so much during the day. The blanket scarf can easily be stuffed into my handbag; whereas a jacket has to be carried.

The dim sum at Sino was so delicious! It had been a few years since my husband and I had gone there to eat. We tend to eat at Maggiano’s, Left Bank, and Veggie Grill at Santana Row because our kids love those restaurants. This was the first time we went to Sino with the kids, and they loved it! My oldest daughter has decided it is her favorite Chinese restaurant! If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, definitely check out Sino at Santana Row in San Jose and try their dim sum, you will love it!

If you have had your eye on a Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, they are available for pre-order right now online here!

Thank you for stopping by!
