The Miu Miu Set

The Miu Miu SetIf the close-out of Fashion Month is any indication, the Miu Miu set isn’t going anywhere.

You probably remember the micro-mini skirts à la early aughts that graced Miu Miu’s Spring 2022 runway.  Well, they’re back baby.

Miuccia Prada doubled down on the trend and they reappeared on fall’s catwalk.

Love or hate it, the trend is clearly sticking.  Everyone from Nicole Kidman to Zendaya has worn it and you know what?  I’m not mad at it.  While I initially loved its brass cheekiness (but vowed to never wear one) it’s growing on me.  Will I rock the micro-mini version?  Likely not.  But the knee-length version has me thinking… there’s a twinkle in my eye.

Spring Sunnies & Sandals Under $150

Sunnies and sandals.  My two spring staples.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a What I’m Coveting post, and while shopping for some new sunglasses I came across some affordable spring staples that I had to share.

All of these items are under $150.  From spring sandals to statement sunglasses, here are some affordable pieces I’m coveting for spring.

Top 5 Favorites – February 2022

Flannel Trousers and Flare Leg JeansI know, I know.  I just posted a Top 5 Favorites.  What can I say?  February is a short month!

Your February Top 5 was all about pants.  Jeans specifically.  The best part?  All of these jeans and trousers are at least 40% off!

Here’s what made the list.

Straight Leg Jeans

This brand is one of my favorites for jeans.  Their washes are superb and most of their styles are 100% cotton.  This pair has a super flattering cut and comes in tons of washes.

My Most Worn Straight Leg Jeans 

These jeans are in my top 3 for most worn.  I’ve owned them for years and they just keep getting better with age.  Adore them.

Flare Leg Jeans

The 90s are back and show no signs of slowing down.  These flare leg jeans are so fun, comfortable and look great with tons of shoe options.

Flannel Trousers

I feel so polished in these trousers.  They can be worn dressed up or casually (try a band tee, cardigan and sneakers).  Plus, they’re 60% off.

Loafers

These loafers were one of my best purchases of 2021.  They’re super comfortable, versatile and garner compliments every time I wear them.

Top 5 Favorites – January 2022

Top 5 Favorites Happy almost weekend!

Your Top 5 Favorites from January were a great round-up of all my favorite things.  My go-to beauty tools, fave jeans, an amazing jacket and stylish sneakers.

Here’s the list and how I styled them.

Puffer Coat

I’m in love with this puffer coat.  Read the full review here.  It’s soft, comfy and super chic.  It also comes in different colors and fabrics.

Sneakers

I wore these at Disneyland two days in a row and they are just as comfortable as my workout sneakers.  I love the off-white tone.  It adds a pop and stylish contrast that all white sneakers just don’t have.

Fave Jeans

I’ve worn these jeans to death and they just keep getting better and better.  This is Japanese denim at its finest.  The cut is perfection and well worth the investment.

Make-up Brushes

These foundation brushes are my go-to.  I love the handle-less one for travel and keeping in my purse.

Wool & Cashmere Shampoo

I’m pretty much done with dry cleaners – read why here – and prefer to launder my clothes at home.  This wool and cashmere shampoo is a must-have for all my sweaters.

2022 Spring Trend Report: Clogs

Spring 2022 shoe trends clogsTop // Jeans // Skirt // Bag

I recently saw an old picture of Sarah Jessica Parker wearing a pair of clogs and was totally smitten.  She looked super chic and so comfortable.  I immediately set out to find a pair.  Lucky for me, clogs are trending for Spring 2022.

What I like about clogs – beyond their comfort and ease of wear – is that they’re more fun than say, loafers.  Clogs have a bit more personality and look great with jeans, shorts and dresses.  Plus, they have year-round wearability compared to espadrilles and sandals.

I’ve already purchased this pair and this pair and have two more on the way before I decide on a winner.  Here are some of my other favorites.
