This Tunic Needs to be in Your Closet

Shoes: Nike Fly Knit Free // Tunic: Antropologie // Bag// Rebecca Minkoff // Phone Case: Kate Spade // Scarf: H&M // Sunglasses: Prada (very similar) // Leggings: Aritzia (my very favorite)

This Anthropologie Matin tunic is softer than a dream! It's the perfect thing to throw on after a barre class and look chic and cozy. It's selling out fast and now that I own it, I know why. 

Also I need to share with you how much I love this Rebecca Minkoff crossbody fringe phone bag. It holds only the essentials and most importantly has a secure phone compartment so that even if the snap comes undone, your phone doesn't fall to the ground! It also holds all my credit cards and even space for a little zipper compartment for cash and a few receipts. All that in this tiny compact fringy package! It comes in black too. I seriously can't stop using it.

And by the way, this is the gorgeous park right down the street from our house! What we are really loving about SLC is that you can go from this type of heavy nature setting to a Whole Foods and Lululemon type shopping area in under ten minutes. I don't think that are many places where you can be so close to both in such a super short amount of travel time. What's not to love about that?

Blanket Scarf and Space Dye Dress

Dress (only $20) // Scarf ($15) // Booties (old Shoemint buy) // Purse  // Lips // Bracelet

Outfit like this one make me happy. Any time I can wear a sweatshirt dress and a blanket scarf and look super pulled together, It's a win. It's even better when both pieces cost under $40 bucks total.

This scarf comes in 3 colors and takes all of my willpower to not buy ALL OF THE BLANKET SCARVES! It's true. I have a serious problem. I think I just want to be wrapped in blankets everyday, all day.

Ok, I know it's not THIS cold anymore but still, It's cold. So, funny story about shooting this outfit. Erin and I went at the basketball court to shoot this sporty look and I put the scarf and hat down on a bench. After about 3 cold coatless minutes, I threw everything back on (so I thought) and jumped back in my car. 

Later that night I could not find this scarf! I mean, how does a person loose a whole blanket scarf?! It has the word "blanket" in it, It's not like those just disappear. But mine did! 

After 2 weeks of looking everywhere I gave in and finally ordered a new one. It's less than $15 bucks on eBay so it's not like loosing an investment piece, but I was still upset on principal alone. 

Where ever you are blanket scarf, I hope you are happy.

I'm so happy spring is near because I've been trying to work in all the pastels I can this winter but it's becoming increasingly easier to get them all lined up for Spring with all the stellar options coming out. I'm particularly loving all things blush and powder blue. This Minkoff bag I got at the beginning of the winter will transition perfectly into spring, but I'm still craving one of these new pastel numbers as well.

And if you are loving this scarf as much as I do, It's sold out online but I saw a ton of them last week at the Topshop on Michigan Avenue.

I have learned this lesson too many times to make a mistake now. If you see something at Zara that you love, especially a scarf that you feel may start to gain a small cult-like following, you buy it. You don't question it's price. You just BUY IT. And then, in just a few short weeks, when it's sold out in stores,  you notice that it starts popping up on some of your favorite bloggers , Block 37 add campaigns, and is going for twice its selling price on eBay. Then you remind yourself it was all worth it and you made the right decision.
