Before our travels started, Mitch and I attended the most beautiful holiday dinner thrown by Vineyard Vines at the Hampton Social in Chicago.
Great Plaid Blazers on Sale
Plaid Blazer (Also love this one and this one. They’re all SO GOOD. On sale, too! Looking for something more classic? Two of my most-worn blazers are this long camel one and this long houndstooth one, both from Talbots.) / Navy Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater / Bow Flats (How cute is this red pair, though? And love these Chanel lookalikes. Oooh, and the blackwatch plaid flats are such a steal right now!) / Cashmere Jeans (They’re awesome. So warm. But I’m obSESSED with this pair from Madewell, though. Also very much interested in trying this pair.) / Mark & Graham Elisabetta Tote / Sunglasses
I neglected to post all my holiday outfits before Christmas. 😂 So here we are!
Help Us Find a Grandfather Clock
Mitch here!
Well, I guess I’m officially old now because I spend a lot of time thinking about buying a grandfather clock.
CK Bradley
CK Bradley Tartan Tunic c/o (In LOVE with this CK Bradley skirt, too. I need it in my life, haha! And this tartan button-down and this Stewart dress.) / Commando Velvet Leggings (The best! I also really like the Spanx version, but Commando’s are warmer and comfier, in my opinion.) / Black Pumps / Sparkly Necklace (SORRY. I told you I wear it with every holiday outfit this time of year. Ha!) / Chanel Bag (Way more affordable versions here, here and here.)
I want to feature far more “small” designers on the blog this year. (Or next year, I should say. 😉)
CK Bradley has long been a favorite… and I just love that the company was started by native New Yorker Camilla Bradley during her senior year of college at Trinity in Hartford, Connecticut. (Fun fact: I wrote for the Hartford Courant for a short period of time, and I went to Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut!)
Today, she has a boutique in Newport, Rhode Island… which is where, as you might remember, Mitch and I took our babymoon before we had Lucy!
Crewcuts Coats & Jackets
Crewcuts Stewart Tartan Coat (This leopard fur coat is also adorable! And check out this leopard vest. Too cute.) / Newer Black Suede Pumps (Love them in the bows and the leopard as well.) / Hudson Jeans Here, Here and Here / Lisi Lerch Earrings / Super Soft Mock Neck Sweater / Sunglasses / Chanel Bag (Way more affordable versions here, here and here.)
This is a little #crazy, haha, but you can sometimes get away with shopping the Crewcuts girls’ coats & jackets section of J.Crew! Benefits include major savings and a super cute selection, while drawbacks include boxy cuts (made for little girls with no hips or chests) and limited sizes that work for adults. BUT… every once in a while, something comes along that I’m like, “OKAY. Going to take a chance here.” And this coat was just that! (Hello, #60daysofplaid.)
Jack Rogers Giveaway
Friends! In case you don’t follow along with us on social media, I wanted to let you know about a fun little giveaway that we’re hosting with Jack Rogers.
Tartan Shirt Dress
Draper James Plaid Dress (Love this version, too!) and Scalloped Camel Coat c/o / Newer Cole Haan Boots (Also love these, these. and these.) / Crab & Cleek + WH Hostess Tote c/o / Sparkly Necklace / Victoria Emerson Wrap Bracelets (Shown in a few pics!)
We’re headed from NYC to my parents’ home in Yardley, Pennsylvania today, but wanted to hop on quickly to share this easy holiday look.
Sail to Sable Blackwatch Magic
Sail to Sable Blackwatch Plaid Tunic c/o (Here it is in red Stewart plaid. Here’s the red Stewart dress and the blackwatch plaid dress. Red Stewart pants and blackwatch plaid pants. Blackwatch cowl neck top. Red Stewart kids’ tunic and blackwatch plaid kids’ tunic. SO MANY OPTIONS!) / Madewell Jeans (Best. Jeans. Ever.) / J.Crew Lady Day Coat (Runs small! I went up two sizes. I do like my coats on the roomier side, though, so maybe only go up one size, haha.) / Mark & Graham Crossbody / J.Crew Factory Sparkly Necklace / Bow Pumps (You can also find them here! They come in black, too. Looking for a killer pair of plaid shoes? THESE are my faves of the season!)
I’m on a ROLL with outfits, guys. I don’t think I’ve posted this many in a row since… 2018? But boom. The style content is back while I’m back on the East Coast for the Sheehan/Gallagher/Tralka Christmas festivities!
I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like the holidays are so much more casual than they used to be! Sure, I do attend a handful of events that call for dressier attire. But the vast majority are very low-key, and nearly everyone is in jeans. Which is why I love owning some versatile festive pieces that can be dressed up or down.
5 Great Gifts for Guys NOW :)
Cole Haan Pumps, Pinch Weekender Loafers, Women’s Leather Gloves + Men’s Leather Gloves / Lace High-Rise Pants / Super Soft Mock Neck Sweater / Tortoise Phone Case / Newer Men’s Holiday Shirts Here and Here / Navy Blazer / Men’s Jeans
These are the faces of two kids who wrapped up all of their holiday work TODAY… and are currently en route to New York to kick off some awesome family holiday celebrations! Truth: We’re barely alive. 😂 But we somehow did it. Feels amazing to know that we won’t need to pull any all-nighters during our travels, and that we can really kick back and enjoy our time together. :) Note: The blog WILL be up and running per usual! So please swing by every day! ❤️
