Top 20 On My Mind

Every now and then, I can't keep things I'm interested in buying straight in my head so they blend together in this general want list. Right ow I have cozy sweaters, hats and easy to wear items on my mind. Also a bar cart that I ran into at Target. See? Random.

Anyway, join the chaos in my head and check out these 20 items that are flip flopping around in my mind!

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.

Athleta + Zella: Branching Out in Workout Wear

Shoes // Top (on sale now!) // Leggings

One of my favorite things to do is take workout classes. I make it a priority in my life because I know it keeps me grounded and happy in my otherwise stressful life.

Cute and comfortable workout clothes are also a priority. I used to be a slave to Lululemon, but recently I've been branching out to other brands like Athleta and Zella.

 Athleta is great for affordable and functional tops. I'm partial to these long sleeve tops and these tanks. Zella leggings I can grab from Nordstrom, which is super convenient but my favorite part about these is that they don't fall down! As you can see I'm kind of hip-less so pants tend to sip with lots of jumping. Whenever I know there is a class in my future that involves jumping, I grab these to keep my mind off worrying about my pants during a workout. Who wants that.

Ann Taylor Classic Trench

Dress // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff GWP // Trench c/o // Heels // Sunglasses

A classic trench coat is a piece that is unlike any other in your wardrobe. The right one can instantly add class to an otherwise casual outfit. It also makes any day-time outfit look perfectly put together. 

That being said, a great trench is hard to find. In a dream world I would own a Burberry trench and I would simply never replace it, EVER! But I, like probably all of you out there reading this, DO NOT have that kind of budget either. 

There is a mid-way meeting point to satisfy the luxury lover in all of us and it comes to us from Ann Taylor in their Fall Classic Trench. It is crisp, classic, and more luxurious than any other trench I've ever owned. The lining has faint polka dots on it too which adds a feminine touch that only you will know is there. And the best part is the price! You don't want to miss this piece. Your closet will thank you for years to come!

High Tops and Stripes

Dress: Forever 21 // Shoes: Old Navy // Sunglasses (similar on sale under $10!) // Bag: ASOS // Hat: Forever 21 // Lips: YSL Glossy Stain

This 80's inspired wall has been taunting me for two years now whenever I leave my Bar Method class in Wicker Park. I always want to shoot in front of it but any time I'm over there it's either pre or post workout which leaves me alone or sweaty. Neither make for a pretty blog post.

This particular day though I had my friend Amy and her baby (off to my left, out of the picture in her stroller) meet me to do this shoot really quick. Finally, success!
