Athleisure Moto Jacket

/

It is getting COLD. Holy cow. We have had some pretty chilly days lately. When it gets that cold, I really just prefer to hibernate and sometimes lack outfit creativity. Thank goodness for the athleisure trend, right? When I can get away with minimal effort looks during the winter, I'm all about it. 

I've mentioned these leggings before - they are a must have. They have that faux leather vibe, are high waisted and are so flattering and versatile. And to my ostomy friends - these are heaven and keep everything where it needs to be. Adding a super soft basic white tee (size up for a more relaxed look), a warm jacket that doubles with style and a fun sneaker makes a super simple outfit a little less boring! I love this jacket from Crane & Lion - it's warm, but not overwhelming, making it perfect for chilly days that don't require a bulky coat. Plus, they styling has a moto-vibe and the sleek fabric has that faux leather look as well. Oh, and the hat is necessary when you're on about day 6 of dry shampoo, if ya know what I mean. 

These sneakers were a gift and I absolutely love them. I had been wanting red sneakers, but to receive them customized with my blog name on the back was pretty cool. Very thoughtful, in my opinion, and it doesn't take a ton of extra time. Definitely a good gift idea for a sneaker lover you might have on your list!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! It's really starting to cool off in Denver, and I am not a fan. I'll probably start hibernating soon (kind of like I did all weekend). One fun thing I did, though, was attend the Shane Co. Toyland party which celebrated their biggest holiday selection ever. There were some really beautiful pieces! It was a fun night of mingling and playing with jewelry. Perfect way to kick off holiday event season. If you want to check out the collection you can do so here. 

How cute is this coat? It's a soft suede that feels like butter. It's like wearing a robe. Definitely not a warm coat, though, so save this baby for warmer days. It's a perfect fall or spring layering piece. Pairing with jeans and a white tee really lets the coat stand out. I love longer coats like this paired with jeans and a tee, it's such a simple outfit and the perfect way to wear a longer coat. You can see another example on how I styled a longer coat here. 

Have a great week friends!

Happy [Cyber] Monday! Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I spent half the day in the mountains with one side of the family, and the other half with my other side of the family. I feel like I'm still full from all the yummy food! It's been so nice to relax with family the last few days. I hope you've had a nice few days as well!

Have you been taking advantage of all the online sales going on? I'm sure your feed is just flooded with gift guides and sale lists like mine. I love looking at everyone's gift guides and getting ideas for everyone on my list. Hopefully you took a look at my holiday section where I have all my gift guides and sales listed (my stocking stuffers guide is my favorite - I seriously want everything on there). I still have two more gift guides to publish (one for her and one for the home/hostess). They're a little late getting out and will miss the Cyber Monday sales (I apologize, life happens sometimes ya know?) but hopefully you can still get some good ideas from them. They'll be out by the end of the week :)

Now for this outfit! I'm wearing head to toe (sans booties) H&M. They just have the best stuff sometimes! This sweatshirt is actually from the men's section and obsessed doesn't even begin to explain it. It is SO comfortable. I seriously wear it at least twice a week. I feel like the men's section at H&M always has some good finds - definitely a section worth browsing when shopping at the store. These pants were another H&M score. I bought them two years ago in London, actually. I told myself I wouldn't shop at any stores I have at home while I was in Europe, but I needed a last minute pair of pants and H&M was the closest store to me. I am SO glad I got these pants. They have such a cool edge with the moto detailing, and are surprisingly stretchy which makes for easy wear. Moto pants like this are one of those pieces where you can throw on a casual top and still look effortlessly cool. 

BONUS? H&M Is having a great Cyber Monday Sale:
