Sweaters and snake skin

I saw this photo on @frugality, a UK based blogger’s Instagram, and proceeded to hunt it down. It was sold out on the UK site of H&M but it was in stock on the US site. While I was there, I saw a few other sweaters that I thought were cute.

Here are a few of the H&M sweaters I thought were cute:

heart sweater, wool blend sweater, striped sweater and jacquard  turtleneck

I'll be purchasing these LL Bean shearling insoles to put in my shoes this winter. I think they would make a great stocking stuffer.

I’ve been looking for a pair of classic jeans that weren’t my typical Madewell denim and not skinny or boyfriend. I tend to gravitate to straight lately. I saw a pair of light jeans on a girl that I really liked, so I stopped her to ask what brand she was wearing. She said she was wearing Levi Wedgie Icons, but wasn’t sure which version. Before I could order them, I saw a pair of Everlane Kick Flair jeans on @AshleyKane (see first picture) who has a cool California vibe. It turns out that she was promoting Everlane’s denim sale. The jeans looked very similar to the jeans on the girl I stopped and each pair was $50, so I went for it. When do you ever get jeans for $50! So, I ordered a pair in black and light blue. I’m hoping they work out. I should get them Tuesday. Anyone have them?

I’ve been seeing faux snake skin boots in my Instagram feed lately. I’m a firm believer that shoes and accessories are the best investments because they can transform an outfit and create a multitude of new looks from what you already have in your closet. Now, faux snake skin are definitely a statement and some may not know what to wear with them, but I think they are actually easy to add to your wardrobe. If you wear them with solids and make them the hero piece, you should be fine. I saw a coupon for Veterans Day at Mango, so I went for it and bought these snake effect boots also seen in the first and second photo. I was close to buying these ( I didn’t think these would go with as many outfits as black and white), these and these but they were more expensive. Look at the outfit examples below for inspiration.

Speaking of boots, I bought these boots to wear when it’s cold but not snowing and wet. They are typically never part of the sales that J. Crew runs, so I when I spotted them as part of the Friends and Family promotion, I pounced. I also like this color.

I’m a huge fan of Loeffler Randall and they just came out with their resort line. If your planning on taking a warm weather trip this winter, you may want to pick up one of the items from the collection that I’m loving listed below.
