NEW HAIRCUT | LONG BOB

A couple of quick iphone snaps of my new haircut. As I mentioned in this post, it was time for something fresh and after going through my hair inspiration folder on my desktop, I was a ll about the long bob. All thanks goes to the gorgeous and talented Jen Atkin for giving me the exact cut I wanted and perfect effortless waves to boot.

Outfit details: J.Crew Jean Jacket | Rodarte 'Radarte' Tee

iPhone #OOTD (Winter style!)

Some outfits that made it to my instagram but not on the blog...

Always bow obsessed (as you can tell from my recent post).  I'm loving our new bow bangles (have you seen the crystal encrusted ones?  My new fave!)  The J Crew cardigan is from last year but still a favorite.

Husband got me some new shoes for Christmas.  I call them my "mommy shoes and date night shoes"  I'm still a heels girl (even when I'm pushing a stroller) but for those days when I'm out running errands and just carrying Layla around I need something a bit more practical so I love the Nike Sky Hi's with the hidden wedge.  Still makes me a bit tall but very comfy to run around in!

 

Nike Sky Hi | Christian Louboutin

I've worn this sweater too many times to count this winter.  I love the bright red lips, even if Layla does attempt to rip each rhinestone off every time I wear it.  It's on sale now!

 

Halogen Sweater | Oasap Blouse | Tory Burch Flats

Bracelets: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4

A new necklace and one that always gets compliments whenever I wear it!

My new printed jeans have been a great alternative to just regular blue jeans.  And I haven't worn any of my blazers all winter (blazers are so hard to wear under winter jackets!) but luckily stayed inside most of the day for this outfit.

I was glad to have bought the Hunter x Rag and Bone boots early in the fall but funny enough it hasn't rained that much this year!  But the times that it has been a downpour I'm thankful to have these boots.  They really are the best for rainy days!

A recent outfit I wore to the office and then out shopping.  Easy and comfy!  Love the hearts and my very old OTK boots!

I haven't been much of a vest girl until recently and realized just how warm they really do keep you.  Also, after putting this post together, I do realize I wear way too much J Crew :)

A typical arm stack and the cutest studded hair tie.  I don't even want to tie my hair back with it, I just like wearing it as a bracelet!

I randomly came upon these leather-like leggings at Target and I can't even tell you how obsessed I am with them.  They are one of the best faux leather leggings I've come across!  Only the front panel is "leather" the back is just a ponte type fabric but man they are so comfy and look so good.  AND they are only $19.99!  I'm going back to Target just to get another pair as I think I may wear these ones out!

Friday is finally here, which means Mr. AiF and I are off to a weekend in the mountains... A snowy, Christmas-themed getaway courtesy of the Edmonton Journal that encourages gorging on decadent foods and festive fun including — but not limited to — holiday crafts... Needless to say, we're pretty pumped. And if I don't succumb to a flock of feisty geese or an aggressive mink while I'm up there (hey, it happens),  I'll see you guys back here on Monday.

Happy weekending! xx

J Crew Sale haul!

I walked into J Crew this weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see they were doing 20% off all sale and on top of that 25% off your entire purchase!  Found some good stuff so wanted to share as I saw that they are offering the 25% off online now (however not the extra off of sale so you might want to check your stores!)

I love the boyfriend sweater and got them in both these colors.  Perfect for the winter and easy to wear with everything!  I got them in store for $23.99 each!  I'm wearing size XXS.

How could I not love the stripe necklace tee?  It's so cute and just love the jewels at the neckline.  I'm wearing an XS here.  It's pretty fitted and not much stretch so not like their regular tees.  I got this top in both the colors they have.

I've been looking for a cute vest and this striped one fit the bill.  This isn't on sale in store but just saw that it's $10 off online.  I'm wearing the XS here but I ended up getting the XXS as I liked the fit better.

If you are wondering the jeans I'm wearing here are old but they are J Crew too and they still have them here (and on sale!)

On my way out I spotted the Tilda Rhinestone top and the Ruffled Rhinestone Top on sale as well.  I didn't end up getting them but they are super cute so thinking about going back to get them!

Sorry for my crappy photos but here's what they look like on the models.  They were both marked down to $79.99 in store.

My favorite thing that I got was this leather front cardigan.  It's gorgeous on!  I first spotted it on Chloe and loved it on her.  It's a bit pricey but considering that it's leather and with the 25% off, it was pretty reasonable.  I wear cardigans pretty much all the time throughout the fall and winter so I think this will definitely get lots of wears!

ORANGE LIPS

I know, I know, summer's coming to an end, but I can't help it- I still love a good orange lip.

PLAID + JEWELS

I was browsing Pinterest yesterday and came across this J.Crew look from their September style guide. Love the low bun, the chic round sunglasses and the fun mix between the blue plaid shirt and jeweled cashmere sweater.

+ Cutler and Gross 0734 sunglasses
+ J.Crew Acropolis Blue Plaid Flannel Shirt
+ J.Crew Collection Cashmere Jeweled-Shoulder Sweater

I would complete the look with a pair of white MiH jeans and classic Jenni Kayne d'orsay flats.

JENNA LYONS | OFFICE CHIC

ph: Self Service

Jenna Lyons is such a bad ass. Loving this glimpse into her chic office and as always, crazy about her style. I'll forever love those Céline colorblock pants and the cap-toe Isabel Marant heels. You can get a better look at her jean jacket and Céline pant look here.
