Hey loves! I've missed you all and I'm glad to be back with a new outfit post. Last week was a busy one for me. Mostly just work or checking stuff off my to-do list but also spending time with family and trying to clear my mind. Sometimes I get too caught up in my own thoughts that I end up putting myself in a creative rut. Whenever that happens I like to just disconnect and focus on the little things I can do now to make me happy. Now that I've had some days away I'm ready to get back to blogging!
Okay, enough about that. Let's talk about this beige waterfall jacket that I've been loving. I had been looking for a jacket like this for years and finally found it at H&M. I bought it a month or so ago but it's just now getting cold enough to wear it. I don't own any jackets in this color so it will be a nice change from my usual darker colors. I also love how it drapes in the front- it really elevates my whole look! Just like my leather jacket, it's perfect to grab and go whenever I'm in a hurry because it goes with almost everything.
Happy Friday loves! Today I have a fitting room diaries post for you all. Last Thursday when I was shopping at H&M I took some photos of everything I tried on. I do this all the time because it helps me make up my mind when shopping. I'll also take photos of the tags so that way I can buy it later online if I decide I really love it. I wanted to make this into an entire post because I found some really nice sweaters! And I always love seeing what a piece of clothing looks like on a person versus the hanger/website models.
chunky knit sweater
This sweater is the first item I put in my shopping bag. It looked so cozy on the hanger that I couldn't resist trying it on. It's a chunky knit material and I think it looks more expensive than it was ($20!).

It ended up being the only item I bought. I couldn't find this color online but you can probably find it in store. If you love chunky knit sweaters then do yourself a favor and go pick this up!
The fabric on this sweater is so beautiful and drapes perfectly! I love how it looks tucked in and the little details down the front make it a little more interesting.
Trying on some color instead of my usual grey haha. The color is so pretty for fall but I'm not so sure that it looks good on me.
Another grey sweater. What can I say I'm just drawn to anything grey and cozy. This one is a closet staple! The shape is really classic and will be a great layering piece. I didn't buy it because I told myself I didn't need anooother grey sweater but now I'm wishing I would've!
ruffled skirt
When I saw this hanging on the rack I knew I had to try it on. It's one of those pieces that look super chic and stylish but not something I would normally buy. I absolutely loved it on but I couldn't think of enough ways to style it to justify purchasing it. If you have any ideas on how you would style it let me know!
Most of my shopping is done online but I might start doing these more whenever I actually go shopping in stores! Let me know if you would be interested in seeing more of these or not. :)

When it comes to earrings I love wearing gorgeous statement pieces. My style is very casual and laidback so a statement earring is a perfect way to glam up my look! I've been having so much fun styling these two earrings I received from Happiness Boutique. They are both stunning and the quality is soo good!
I loooove the contrast of wearing a luxe pair of chandelier earrings with jeans, a graphic tee, and sneakers - similar to what I wore here. Yesterday I wore a sweatshirt and leggings and then added my luxe chandelier earrings. I was going for a comfy and cozy look but wanted something else to make it girly and the earrings helped me achieve that!
Today I'm wearing the black statement earrings with an oversized sweater and skinny jeans. I'll try to get photos in this outfit after work! What are your thoughts on my picks? Do you prefer statement or dainty earrings?
Overall I'm super happy with the selection and quality of their pieces! I'm already looking forward to adding more of their jewelry to my collection. You can view all of their earrings here. I also have a coupon code to share with you all - use code SIMPLYNANCYBLOG to get 10% off your order over 19 euros. It expires exactly one month from today so you have until November 18th to use it! :)
Let me know if you try any of their jewelry! I'd love to know your thoughts Xx

Today is one of those cold and sleepy mornings, where all I want to do is stay bundled up inside and sip on a hot drink. But I'm not going to let it be one of those unproductive days. I'm going to finish my breakfast, make a to-do list and get my day started! And today it's finally cold enough to wear a scarf! So there's my motivation to get dressed and out the door today haha.
Anyways, I have a super delicious and warming recipe to share with you all today. There's nothing better than a delicious latte to warm you up on chilly mornings! It's basically golden milk but with a pumpkin spice twist. Keep reading to see how easy it is to make!
1 cup milk - I use almond but coconut milk would be super delicious!
1 tsp of turmeric powder
1 tbsp of coconut oil
1 tsp honey
a pinch black pepper - This is optional but it's supposed to help boost the benefits of the turmeric.
1 tsp or more pumpkin spice powder (cinnamon, ginger, cloves & nutmeg)
Once you've gathered up all of the ingredients you're halfway done. All you have to do now is heat up the cup of milk and mix in the turmeric, pumpkin spice, coconut oil, and honey. Then stir it up with a spoon or milk frother. I love using a milk frother because it creates a nice foam at the top that you see on lattes! Finish it off with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top and you're done! See I told you it was easy (and delicious)!
Let me know if you try it out and how you like it :)
Stay warm! xx
LIFEBYHER girl gang tee | ALLSAINTS leather jacket | AG jeans | BP bracelet | FOSSIL watch | ADIDAS shoes| H&M cap
Happy Monday loves! You may have seen this outfit over on my instagram a week or so ago. I had completely forgotten about it until I was looking through the folders on my computer last night. Graphic tees have been my favorite thing to wear lately. I mean you can never go wrong with a cute tee and a leather jacket! One of my favorite people on YouTube, Ashley Brooke (she has some great fashion videos!) released a couple of cute tees this month. I couldn't resist and had to snatch them up! This girl gang tee is the first one I bought and I wore it the very next day after I received it. I styled it with just a pair of skinny jeans, sneakers, a baker boy cap and a leather jacket. I also bought the NYC streets tee - you're going to love this one! Stay tuned to see how I style it later this week! :)
I'm loving plaid shirts right now. I love the ones that have a boyfriend fit so they are very roomy and perfect for leggings.
I've been spending a lot more time on Pinterest! It's perfect for finding outfit inspo! You can find my boards here.
marble tray
I'm loooving this marble tray. I think the price is such a steal for the quality and how versatile it is. It goes with so many rooms... it's perfect for the bathroom counter to display skin care or even the living room for candles and decor.

A sweet smelling candle to get me into the fall mood!

sneakers | jeans
Sneakers have been my go-to for this in between summer/fall weather. I'm over wearing sandals but booties seem like too much on some days so sneakers are the perfect in between!

I just wanted to update the blog quickly before I go in to work. I'll update it with the links to everything tonight :)
Happy Friday!
When I don’t know what to wear I’ll sometimes peek into my boyfriend’s closet and see what I could incorporate into my outfits. Whether it’s just a beanie or a button up shirt, I love the challenge of creating a feminine look around that one piece. This time I picked a dark green button up. The fit is perfectly over-sized so I rolled up the sleeves and tied a belt around my waist to bring back some shape. I paired it with a pair of super skinny jeans to bring some balance to the overall look. The heels are key to this outfit because they add that girly touch. And just for fun and because I’m obsessed I also threw on my baker boy hat.
That’s not the only thing I love to borrow from the boys. If you haven’t already noticed, a lot of items that are marketed for women cost more. Pink tax is real, look it up. That’s why I love shopping in the men’s section for certain personal care items like deodorant or razors. So when Harry’s sent me their Winston set to try out I was super excited. My boyfriend has already been using their razors for a few months now and he had convinced me to give them a try. So as soon as I ran out of my usual brand I was going to go buy one. The timing couldn't have been more perfect - thank you Harry's! Keep reading until the end to learn how you can try one of their razors for free!
I received the Winston set which comes with a beautiful Winston handle, foaming shave gel, 3 blade cartridges, and a travel cover all for only $25. That is an amazing deal if you ask me! If you prefer a colorful handle they also have the Truman set for only $15 which you can find here.
What I love about Harry’s razors is that they’re much cheaper than most razor brands yet they don’t compromise on quality or design. I don’t need my razors to be cute or girly as long as they work well but being beautifully designed is a plus! But the major selling point for me is that I can buy a 4 count of blades for only $8 compared to around $15 from the brand I used to use!
Now for the best part! All my readers can try out the Truman trial set for free! It comes with the Truman razor, travel foaming shave gel, and travel blade. All you have to do is pay a few dollars for shipping. If you try it out or already use Harry's let me know what you think down in the comments! :)
Happy shaving!
PS -You can even find Harry's at Target. So next time you're in there stocking up on essentials you can also grab a Harry's razor for yourself or your boyfriend for just under $10!
Every season I like to browse through the trends and pick a few that I want to try out. For this fall and winter I'm loving teddy coats, patent leather, pops of red, lighter wash denim with looser fits, nude lips, glowing winter skin, baker boy hats, and checked coats. When shopping for those trendier pieces I look for them in neutrals or classic silhouettes. This way they'll blend seamlessly with what I already own! Take for example these black ankle boots - they have a classic shape yet they're in one of the seasons hottest trends - patent leather! And because they're black you'll be able to get so much wear out of them!
I rounded up a couple of my favorites and they can all be found at Bloomingdales. Right now they're having their friends and family sale (going on now through the 9th!) which means you can score a lot of the items for 25% off! Just look for the promo code FRIENDS as you shop and don't forget to enter it at checkout.
It's officially October now and to start off the month I created a little list of things I want to do. I had this list in my head but thought it would be fun to share with you all too! I'll get back to you guys at the end of the month and share what I was able to check off the list.
♥ Go on a road trip to enjoy the fall foliage.
♥ Take more photos with my dslr and have fun with photography.
♥ Be in bed by 11:30 PM. (This is going to be a tough one for me haha!)
♥ Bake something yummy!
♥ Carve pumpkins.
♥ Try new foods with friends.
♥ Find a winter fragrance. I realllly want to try this one because it has really good reviews. Have any of you tried it?
♥ Go to a pumpkin patch or go apple picking.
♥ Try all the pumpkin spice flavored deliciousness. The other day I made a screenshot list of all the foods I wanted to try hahah.
♥ Enjoy the cozy feeling of being wrapped in a scarf, the scent of my favorite candle burning, the sound of the crunchy leaves underneath my feet, holding hands and hugging to stay warm, the spicy aroma and warmth from a hot chai latte...
I'd love to know one thing that's on your to-do list for October! Let me know in the comments. :)
