little weekends make the world go round!

Hey, everybody! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! This weekend was very relaxing and fun for me. I finally took some time for myself to get out of the house and do something different. On Saturday, I went to a 'Power Yoga' class (whatever that's supposed to mean...?), and at first, I was very skeptical. But surprisingly, I found that I really enjoyed it, even though it was super hard (I have never sweated so much in my life!). Later that night, I went out to dinner and bowling with some of my friends. It was nice to do something low-key and get to catch up with everyone. It's the little weekends like this that can really change my outlook and perspective, as well as make me appreciate the simple things in life, like sweating up a storm, good food, and close relationships with friends!

When going out on the town on the weekends, I generally stick with the rule, "The simpler, the better." Therefore, all of my classic essentials are in heavy rotation. I've compiled a list of my ole reliable clothes, shoes, and accessories that I can throw on with any outfit and know it will look great. 



First, my monogrammed necklace...must I say more? It goes with everything, while adding some girly flair to every outfit. Next, my Ralph Lauren oxfords (I have quite a few... they're a guilty pleasure!) are literally the most perfect button down shirt. So easy, effortless, and versatile...simply
the best!


During these fall and winter seasons, my Patagonia vest has definitely been a staple in my wardrobe. It's so warm and cozy, while also providing a great alternative to a fleece or pullover jacket. Following that, my Michael Kors watch has been a must-have in my jewelry collection for a few years now. I'm so happy that I chose a gold and tortoise-shell pattern because it literally goes with anything and everything.


I purchased this Groop Dealz statement necklace earlier this fall and have been hooked ever since. I check their website a few times a week to scope out their cute, new stock. They've got great designer look-alike jewelry for fabulous prices (like super low! :). I wear this one ALL. THE. TIME. It's definitely worth checking out their website!


Can we just take a moment to appreciate these amazing boots (on sale now!!)? This camera, though it's a very nice one, is still not doing those boots justice. From the rich, perfectly worn, brown leather to the gold buckles, these boots can do no wrong. They work with casual jeans and a tee to a dainty blouse and skirt combo.They were a great investment, and I've really loved wearing them over the cold months.



I hope you all enjoyed my weekend escapades and list of classic essentials! Tell me in the comments what your reliable fashion must-haves are. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Christmas Cheer with Shop Fierce Pineapple!

Hello, everyone! I know that I've taken a long hiatus from blogging, but I'm determined to get back on schedule following the holidays. Today, I'm here to share with you all the outfit I wore for dinner on Christmas night. My family has a tradition to host dinner at my grandparent's house every year. After we feast on all kinds of treats, everyone finds a corner of the room to dub their own, and we sort all the Christmas presents by person and dig in! I always feel so blessed looking around the room at my entire family talking, joking, and unwrapping gifts. 

Anywho, before we left, I took some pictures of my outfit with my main Christmas present, a new Nikon DSLR camera!! I've loved photography for a long time now, and starting a fashion blog has given me the perfect excuse to invest in a nicer camera. 

My plaid dress from Shop Fierce Pineapple is the perfect piece to reflect the holiday spirit during Christmas. The neckline complements one's decollate, and the shift silhouette + sash flatters every body shape in a subtle manner. Plus, the plaid pattern is SO adorable! To spruce up this holiday look, I added some rose gold jewels and a pair of gray, cable-knit tights. Lastly, gray pumps polished off this outfit quite nicely.






Tights: Target
Necklaces: J.CrewMoose and Nigel c/o
Watch: Michael Kors
Bracelets: J.Crew Factory
