After the hustle and bustle of the holidays and getting all dressed up for this party and that, I spend my January wondering just how acceptable it is to leave the house in my pajamas. While I never really win that internal battle with myself and the PJ’s are left at home, I do try to take things a little easier and avoid heels whenever possible. I’ve 100% bought in to the whole “sneakers go with everything” trend that’s happening right now and spend the rest of my days in comfortable, flat booties.  As far as clothing goes, I’ve been living in distressed skinnies and found my two favorite pairs recently at Target.  Their high rise jeggings are seriously amazing – fit true to size, feel so comfortable, and cost under $30.  Add a slouchy sweater like this total Target steal, and you’re on your low-key way without looking like a pajama-clad slob kabob. Need a little more laidback inspiration?  Try a simple pair of black leggings (the ones below are fleece-lined – SO cozy!) with a basic tee and cardigan.  Have fun with accessories – like a coated beanie, mirrored aviators, a handbag, booties – the athleisure possibilities are endless. Check out a few more of my favorite picks below from Target as well as a fun little video.

Hip, hip, hooray for Friday!  This week was beyond busy, and I spent most of it up in LA filming a couple of holiday videos with my favorite retailer.  (Can’t wait to share with you guys!)  Shooting wrapped just in time for me to make it home for my birthday yesterday, and I had the best day.  Before leaving LA, I hit the Rebecca Minkoff sample sale, and it was crazy good.  Seriously, if you’re in LA, GO.  Don’t walk, run.  (Details below.)  I scored an amazing leather jacket for myself and a few bags for Christmas gifts.  The leather jacket accompanied me to dinner last night at Bayside with my main squeeze, and the food was delicious.  We rounded out the night with a fire in the fireplace and wine in hand.  Thanks so much for all the birthday love yesterday!  Now the weekend is here, and I can think of nothing better than a cozy cardigan and even cozier boots and doing nothing at home.  Wishing everyone a relaxing weekend!

Y’all, it’s almost my favorite time of year.  Sweater season.  And I’ll be honest, even more than that, it’s almost hoodie, leggings, and Ugg season.  Whaaat?!  There, I said it.  But hear me out.  These days, leggings can be leather leggings, and your basic hoodie has been seriously upgraded.  There are tons of comfy, cozy hoodies out there that won’t make you look like a slob kabob, and I’ve found the Mecca.  Enter Evy’s Tree.  Think luxe fabrics, elbow patches, pockets, and (gasp) a poncho.  (Have I become a broken record about ponchos yet?  I’m not that worried about it.)  And the Nicole Cardigan (above) is my hands-down favorite.  Throw it on with jeans, over a dress, or with the leather leggings that I’ll no doubt be living in this winter.  It’s versatile as hell and feels pretty much like wearing pajamas.  A win-win in my book.

H&M Imitation Leather Shorts,  Satin Blouse,  Patterned Tube Scarf,  Over Knee Socks (all c/o)

The holidays are fast approaching (seriously, really really fast), and it all can be a little overwhelming.  Parties to plan and even more to attend.  Outfits to coordinate and gifts to check off your list.  Today I’m teaming up with H&M to bring you a little holiday fashion and a whole lot of gift giving for any fashionista on your list.  When it comes to holiday dressing, a cocktail dress is always fun, but well-planned separates will give you much more mix-and-match potential and a lot more bang for your buck.  I’m a big fan of pretty much leather anything, so when I saw these shorts, I planned my entire outfit around them.  (If your weather doesn’t really allow for shorts, layer them over fleece-lined tights, and add a big coat.)  A lightweight blouse, heeled oxfords with over-the-knee socks, and a scarf helped create a party-friendly look that I could easily change up and wear again and again.  A fur clutch and bold red lip added the finishing touch.

Now that your outfit is planned, it’s time to cross some names off of that list of yours.  From stocking stuffers to splurge-worthy cashmere, below are a few of my favorite finds from H&M’s holiday collection.  Which pieces will you add to your wish list?  Head over to H&M for great style and great gifts.
