Pastels and Shopping. A girls day out usually begins with a shopping trip and I must admit, it is one of my favorite pasttimes. Unfortunately, shopping at the beach is not so easy. Sure there is tourist shopping, with the tie-dyed tank tops and beach sweatshirts, but the nearest shopping outlet is twenty minutes away, if traffic is minimal; and another twenty-five minutes if you are wanting to shop at a well known store. If high-end couture and labels is what you are looking for, plan for at least an hour and a half of driving time. Nevertheless, I never miss a chance to expand my closet! Whenever Ashley and I are visiting family in South Carolina, we always stop at our favorite local store, Currents XXVII. It is the closest chic boutique and we never leave empty handed! For todays shopping trip I added a subtle pop of color. With all the dark hues of winter I needed a spring reminder, so I paired a pastel pink blouse with my favorite cream over sweater from Brandy Melville. Even the shopping bag is a beautiful pastel blue. I guess Currents had the same idea I did!

 

Till next time.

Lazy Days

Don't Sweat It. Today is a lazy day on Marie-Nicole and I decided to keep todays outfit effortless, but still stylish, and nothing is as effortless as an old vintage sweatshirt from my mom! What's funny, is she never even went to the University of Kentucky, yet she has this in her closet. Ah well, it just means I get to borrow it. I always love wearing vintage pieces, especially old University sweatshirts, but alone it can look shapeless and unflattering. I like to try and change up my style and find ways to make even the less likely of apparel fashionable and flattering. Rolling up the sleeves and slightly tucking it in to a pair of high-waisted shorts or jeans gives this sweatshirt an effortless chic look. Plus I am always looking for any opportunity to wear thigh-high socks, and there is no better time than in the winter or just hanging around the house. So don't sweat it, it is possible to be both comfortable and stylish.

 

Till next time!

Merry Christmas Everyone! There is nothing better than spending the holidays with your family and this year, Ashley and I are celebrating Christmas with our family in beautiful South Carolina. It is our first Christmas on the beach, and I must say, it is quite an experience, especially this season. Mother Nature has become quite good at being unpredictable. One day we will be at the beach in nothing but a t-shirt and the next day we will be bundled up in a scarf begging for warmth! Nevertheless, it has been amazing.

 

Our Christmas began with a delicious omelet breakfast prepared by my mom, and if you know my mom, you will know that she never cooks. So this was definitely a treat! Then, the moment we have all been waiting for....the presents! It is just the three of us, my mom, Ashley, and me. We each took turns opening the gifts Santa left for us under the tree; then last, but certainly not least, we dug in to our stockings! Before we knew it, there was nothing left but a pile of wrapping paper and naturally, I had to play in it! Once the Christmas mayhem was over, Ashley and I decided to start a new tradition of watching the timeless classic, White Christmas on Christmas day. So after a few hours of relaxing, it was time to head over to my aunts house and have a huge family Christmas dinner full of food, love, and yes...more presents!

 

Dinner with the family tends to be casual, and as much as I love to play dress up and be glamorous, I decided to keep todays look comfy and easy-going, but still stylish. Today was definitely a cold day here at the beach, and if there is one thing I love when the weather is cold, it is a heavy wool pea coat! This charcoal gray pea coat paired perfectly with my plum, over-the-shoulder, long-sleeve top; and for some extra warmth, a black knit around the world scarf (as Ashley likes to call it) was the only choice! No look is complete without a little frosting, or better known as, bling. Since it is Christmas, I am rocking a candy cane knuckle ring, talk about glamorous and festive! A watch is the undeniable accessory for all styles, whether you are going full glam or just  keeping it casual, and one of my personal favorites is the rose gold large face watch. Normally, I would wear a black heeled booty to add some glam to this easy-going outfit, but my little cousins got a trampoline for Christmas, and I knew they would be relentless in making fun of my shoe choice, so Ashley was kind of enough to let me borrow her silver studded biker boots.

 

I hope you all had a merry Christmas filled with love, joy, and happiness. Till next time! xoxo
