Hey guys! I am alive, I’ve just been enjoying my holiday break. My trip to California was amazing, more on that later. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. I spent the past weekend getting my s*** together and nursing the end of a cold that I can’t shake. I wanted to make sure to share my wardrobe update for December, but starting January 4th I will start posting consistently again.
I knew December would be a high shopping month because it always is, between black Friday and after Christmas sales, I usually stock up on some of my favorite items.I decided not to cover portofinos and barcelona camis as I’ve mentioned how much I love them several times already. So let’s get to it.
Keep
- Bernardo suede jacket: I wanted a camel jacket forever, was so happy to get this one on major sale. The quality is amazing for the price. Just wish I could wear it more it has been so hot here in South Florida.
- Express ruched dress: Perfect little dress for a casual night out, I am usually in jeans or shorts but this is a nice change and very Florida’s weather friendly.
- J.Crew chambray shirt: I only had one chambray shirt, so when I saw this great color on sale, I decided to get it for variety. It is soft and the perfect color.
- Vince croc embossed bag: I always loved Vince, after Christmas I realized they opened an outlet store by me and I got this little number on major sale.
- Vince colorblock tee: Same goes for this soft tee.
- J.Crew Stripe tee: Another great find from all the J.Crew sales, it is the perfect stripe tee, also got it in red.
- B-Low The Belt: This belt was love at first sight, the “baby bri bri” is actually a better fit than the regular “bri bri“.
- J.Crew antiqued silver bracelet: After cleaning out my jewelry case, I had to let got of several discolored and broken pieces, I got this one on sale to switch it up a bit, I am always wearing gold.
- Tory Burch wrap bracelet (exact sold out): I wanted this forever, so I picked it up during the Shopbop sale.
- Alex and Ani wrap bracelet: Charnele and I were just walking around the day after Thanksgiving, we saw Alex and Ani was having a sale so we treated ourselves to some more expensive pieces we always had our eyes on.

Kate Spade Licorice pumps: My other pair of nude pumps are the most uncomfortable shoes ever, so with my partnership with Shopbop I picked this pair, I wore to Christmas dinner and they are much much nicer.

I hope you feel better soon! I’ve had a bad cold for a week. Those Kate Spade pumps are absolutely gorgeous. Did you have to go up in size? I tried them years ago in my normal size and they pinched too much. I returned them without bothering to size up.

I hope so too, thanks! I got my regular size, but I’ve gotten in the habit of always wearing self stick corn cushions on my little toes when wearing pointy toe heels. I rarely have to size up in anything I am a strict 7.5, I think it’s worth the try to size up and see, they are gorgeous indeed.
Amazing post! Lovely picks and those heels are a great addition to your closet. I hope you feel better and enjoy your time off! Happy Holidays!

Ah! This is the olive dress you were telling me about at lunch! I looked it up after we talked about it at lunch and it was sold out in my size online but I will keep a look out for it in store next time I go. I do really like it! Always inspired by how organized you are with your wardrobe planning and purchases!

Picking a nude pump with Shopbop credit is such a great idea. I need to do the same! It’s such a keep piece in a wardrobe. That olive dress looks great too.

Love your handbag – also loving your suede zip-up jacket!
I adore the ruched dress on you. I actually didn’t like it on the hanger at the store, remember we looked at the long sleeve version but after seeing it on you..I’m rethinking! We’ve got to keep up the weekend workout!
