Welp. The holidays have come and gone, and perhaps you’ve got a little Christmas cash just burning a hole in your pocket? Well lucky you because right now there are a ton of post-holiday sales happening, and with no more gifts to buy, you can totally do a little shopping for yourself. (Not that we haven’t all been doing that, all holiday season long…) The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is on now, and I’m rounding up a few of my favorite finds above, all up to 50% off. The under $50 booties at #12 are a serious steal, and the fur-trimmed anorak at #1 is under $100 and perfect for anyone looking for a new cozy coat.

Nordstrom Fall Clearance Sale

November 10, 2016 / Style Files / 6 Comments

1. Suede Pointed Toe Bootie 2. Slouchy Cashmere Beanie 3. Distressed Legging Ankle Skinny 4. Long Sleeve Lightweight Tunic 5. Camel Leather Satchel 6. Check Woven Scarf 7. Dolce Vita Sierra Bootie 8. Rag & Bone Wide Brim Fedora 9. Double Breasted Pea Coat (Under $40!) 10. Cole Haan Perforated Sneaker 11. Turtleneck Swing Dress 12. Sunrise Mismatched Earrings 13. Leather Wrap Watch

In case you haven’t heard yet over the interwebs, there’s a huge fall clearance sale over at Nordstrom right now, and I’d be a bad blogger if I didn’t at least let you know about it. So here I am, just gathering up some faves, not shopping it at all. Nope, not me. Except that’s a total lie because I morally just can’t pass up a good deal. Remember the sneakers at number 10 from this post? Y’all, they’re currently 40% off, and I just can’t resist anymore. These will be mine all mine in 3-5 business days. I also recently did a rather large closet clean-out and got rid of, like, all of my jeans. Obviously that means they must be replaced (contrary to the point of the closet purge I suppose…), and lucky for me there are a ton of denim options in the sale. The pair at number 3 above currently has my vote. And then there’s the pea coat (number 9) that’s under $40 right now, people. Under $40! That’s Crazytown USA, and I like it a lot. So get your shop on, y’all, and maybe even get a head start on this year’s Christmas list. Why? Because there’s no time like the present, and paying full price is so last season.

Cole Haan at South Coast Plaza

November 2, 2016 / Local Love, Style Files / 2 Comments

Cole Haan Hooded Alpaca Coat, Woven Tote, and Eliza Pump; jeans; sweater tee; necklace Cole Haan ZEROGRAND Oxford, Stagedoor Small Studio Bag Cole Haan Metal Aviator Cole Haan Newburg Bootie, Ellery Crossbody, and Leather Motorcycle Jacket Cole Haan Grant Driver You guys, there’s a new store in town at South Coast Plaza, and it’s just in time for your holiday wishlist. Maybe I should back things up a bit here and admit that although I spend hours and hours a day browsing and shopping online, I’m actually a total mall lover. Like, I really love a good shopping destination. Kathleen and I actually discovered this about each other when we randomly ran into each other living our best lives at South Coast Plaza a few months ago. So naturally, we shopped on, did some designer handbag dreaming, and worked up quite an appetite that could only be satisfied with burgers and red wine. Naturally. For a shopping lover like myself, South Coast Plaza is as good as it gets. It’s packed with every store you could ever want to shop, from high end designers to fast fashion favorites and everything in between, and anytime there’s a new store that opens, I obviously have to roam on in there.

And fast forward back to now, when I found myself roaming on in to the spankin’ new Cole Haan store. Y’all, if you have not had your toes in a pair of Cole Haan kicks lately, then I beg you to go give ’em a whirl. The sneakers, loafers, and booties were cushy and so well-made, and I especially couldn’t get over how comfortable their heels are. Walkin’ on a cloud, I tell ya. And the drool-worthy picks don’t stop with the shoes. I mean, will someone please buy me this buttery little crossbody? The leather handbags and accessories are pretty killer, and the outerwear is comfy as can be. Plus, the store is just plain dreamy. You kind of want to go and kick back with one of the giant coffee table books in there. I’m not entirely sure if they’re cool with that sort of behavior though, so don’t go in there and tell them I said that. Do however go up in there and try on a few pairs of shoes. These sneaks are currently at the top of my list, and I’ve got a hot date with South Coast Plaza to make it happen.

lucy IndiGO Joggers

Another September Fashion Week in the books, and I’m not gonna lie, it was kind of a blur. I still have so much content to share with you guys, but today I’m sharing the easy-peasy, comfy, cozy pants that I now want to take on every trip in the future. Over the past couple of seasons the athleisure trend has been everywhere, and joggers of all styles are the stars of the show. And I’m so not mad at it. Is there anything I’d rather put on than a pair of slouchy joggers? Not really. And this lucy IndiGO pair just took things to a whole new level. These look like a favorite pair of denim, but they feel like the silkiest lightweight workout-wear. The translation? Pants you don’t want to take off in the chicest athleisure style. After hopping from show to show in heels, dresses, and who knows what else, I couldn’t wait to throw these on for exploring the city. (And truthfully, they totally could have made it into the shows with me.) Whether dressed up with mules and a loose blouse or worn casual with sneakers and my favorite leather jacket, these joggers were seriously MADE for travel. Plus, check out the rest of the lucy IndiGO collection here, including the boyfriends and track jacket that I can’t get enough of. I’m headed home for now, but not for long. Tomorrow I take off for yet another city this week, and these joggers are already packed.

Freakin Weekend, Y’all

July 7, 2016 / Style Files / 1 Comment

Suburban Riot tee (c/o); James Perse skirt; denim shirt; Nike sneakers; REED handbag; sunglasses; Jemma Sands bracelets

I mean, I know it’s only Thursday, and technically this was a short week, but anyone else ready for the freakin weekend? This girl is READY. Maybe it’s also because I’m down South for a girlfriend’s wedding, and I’m ready to get the party started for one of my oldest friends. With the recent SoCal heat wave (which is a thousand times amplified here in Louisiana – hey, humidity), this lightweight tee is getting plenty of play, Monday through Sunday. (Suburban Riot seriously makes the cutest tanks and tees. Check them out here.) I pulled this skirt from the very back of my closet, but luckily I found an almost identical version from this season. And then, Nikes all day. So here we go, one day early. Cheers to the freakin weekend, y’all!

If you’ve been signed up with LiketoKnow.it, you may have noticed that you’ve stopped receiving the emails associated with it. (And if you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for? Sign up here.) There have been a couple of changes to Instagram lately, and with those changes, your LiketoKnow.it account needs to be re-authorized. But don’t fret my pet, it’s a breeze to update. All you have to do is head online and log into your account. And don’t forget – you can always manage the settings in your account so that you receive the LiketoKnow.it emails ASAP, daily, weekly, or even never. So in case you missed these over the past couple of weeks, today I’m rounding up a few recent Instagram shots and showing you where to get the goods. From a cushy new bedroom rug to the comfiest pair of skinnies and even the brightest set of kitchen bowls, these are a few of my favorite things this week.

Weekend Wear

Happy weekend, friends! Today I’m channeling my inner Sporty Spice and getting down with the athleisure trend for a little weekend wear. Is there anything better than a t-shirt dress? The answer is yes. A t-shirt dress with pockets trumps pretty much anything. Throw it on with sneakers and a jacket from three years ago that you’ve worn 467 times. Also, this bag. Y’all, it’s under $100, but it feels SO nice. I’ve been scootin’ around town with this bag all week because it fits all my stuff and is just plain cute. Anyone else feeling extra ready for the weekend?

Well, friends, Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and you know what that means? Memorial Day SALES! And the deals are good. Real good.

Destination Anywhere With lucy

May 19, 2016 / Style Files / 2 Comments

Look #1: lucy Destination Anywhere Romper and Cardigan (c/o); studded sandals; orange handbag; Deux Lux overnight bag; sunglasses; Julie Vos bangles

Look #2: lucy Destination Anywhere skirt and wrap top (c/o); denim jacket; handbag; Born Stephane sandal; sunglasses; Julie Vos cuff and link bracelet; Made by Mary short necklace; Gorjana long necklace

Who’s ready for a weekend getaway?! Now I know what you’re thinking. Umm, didn’t you JUST go to Bermuda and Miami? But hear me out: When your new house is still under construction, your old lease is up, and you’re living out of suitcases anyway, you might as well take one of those suitcases on a little weekend getaway. And even better than that, pack a small bag. One bag. And get outta town. Road trip up the California coast, anyone?

It’s no secret around here that I’m a huge fan of lucy for sweat gear and (let’s face it) not-even-planning-to-sweat everyday basics, but did you know they also have some adorable day to night, sand to street pieces? You do now, girl. Check out the adorable LBD below or the shirt dress that’s also the easiest lightweight beach coverup. (You have to feel the fabrics to believe them.) The romper and long cardi that I chose above would make for the perfect airplane or road trip duo, and how cute (and versatile) is this black wrap top from my second look? Cute, sure, but here’s the real kicker. Every piece is lightweight, so comfortable, and won’t look like a wrinkled mess after you unpack it. (Important, right? No one wants to look like a slob kabob on vacay.) So throw in a swimsuit, a few fun accessories, sneakers and sandals, grab your best guy or gal, and let’s go! Destination: Anywhere.

Recently I’ve been running around grabbing those last-minute things that I need for New York Fashion Week (AKA, #allthewarmthings!), but all I am is distracted by all things spring. Y’all! There are so many pretty little pieces coming ‘atcha, and right now I’m loving all the white. Blame it on the whole bride thing. Or blame is on the fact that we’re currently in an 80-degree-days heat wave here. I mean, this necklace, this skirt, and this lace dress. I don’t even know what to do with myself besides, well, a little online shopping. Who’s with me?
