Happy Valentine's Day!! I've never been a huge celebrator of the holiday apart from eating some chocolate with heart designs on the packaging since I was chronically single my whole life. Now that I'm married it hasn't changed too much. I got a dorky card for Christian and one of those Oreo dunking sets because he is obsessed with Oreos. We'll go out to lunch tomorrow but nothing super fancy, just a normal weekend meal out. I'm not even making anything fancy for dinner tonight because I'm lazy.
Looks like it's Madewell sweater week on the blog, this is another one I've had for quite some time (since 2011!) I keep it around for occasions where I need a punch of red. These jeans are getting closer to being out of my closet, there is a small hole on the butt area that I'm having my mom put a patch behind but not sure how much longer they'll last. That's why I bought a similar pair by J Brand last month. I still want another pair of this cut from FRAME because they fit like a dream!

A comfortable weekend look worn to hang out at my Grandma's on Sunday. Sadly the baby was sick so my main source of entertainment - kids - was gone. Luckily, Layla came with my cousin so I was able to bug her for a few hours. It's almost her 11th birthday...CRAZY! (My cousin rescued her when she was 4 and I lived with them for 5 years, time flies!) I haven't been going to his new house to steal her as often as I would like because I'm lazy, but I'll have to grab her soon!
For some reason whenever I wear this grey faux fur vest I find myself wanting to pair it with my Marc Jacobs mouse flats. If it's not broke, don't fix it, I guess.

I do love wearing new pieces for the first time! In this case it's a new-to-me sweater jacket from Rag & Bone. I wore it to a meeting and then dinner at my parents a couple weeks ago. I got it for around $30 in Roundabout's end of season sale and found a bunch available on The Real Real (in the widget below the post!) I tried to make my outfit less Wintery by wearing my Marc Jacobs mouse flats, but it was still rather chilly!

Last week we had a teeny bit of Spring weather when not flanked by snowy days. I wore this to run a few errands and for a quick stop in the park on my lunch break. Some flowers are trying to come out but I'm not sure how long they'll stick around if we keep getting snow (even if it melts by the afternoon!) It is still chilly out there so rather than a tee I wore a sweater underneath my blazer.
You'll have noticed a lot more detail shots in the past couple weeks of outfit photos. I finally let my dad retire from taking my photos (he is a hobby photographer, but I didn't want to make him take too many photos) and my new photographer insists on taking detail shots; I won't complain! We took a bunch of my Chloe Faye in the flowers, it was so hard to narrow down my favorites!

Welcome to Florida week! As you will have seen on Instagram or last week's posts, I was in Florida at the end of last month for some Harry Potter and Disney fun! My first three days were spent at Universal Orlando, the following two at Disney and then a day at the hotel before an evening flight. This is what I wore on the first day. It was warm, but still cool enough that this Frame sweater came in handy. During the day I was a bit warm but as it got more into the evening it cooled down and I was grateful for the long sleeves.

This is one of my favorite sweaters. It's nice and thick but still comfortable. It looks great with everything too! I remember I was so excited when I saw Jamie-Lee was selling it from her closet, she wore it better than I do though. And since it's almost Star Wars: The Last Jedi time (December 15th!!!) I decided to throw a little Star Wars to my outfit with my cute R2D2 pendant necklace!

I wore this last weekend for a trip to Terrain and Home Goods with my parents. Since there werne't many people shopping outside when we arrived I decided to have my Dad take some outfit pictures. We took some by more flowers & trees but the sun kind of messed with those shots, so these will have to do.
I'm so glad I was finally able to wear this sweater I bought in Net-a-Porter's July sale. It's a wool and cashmere blend so its suuuuuper soft! And I love the ribbed style, it's different sizes throughout.

Here is another outfit where I only had 2 of the pieces left in my closet. I'm only wearing one in this recreation because I'm not a huge fan of the sandals, not sure why I'm holding on to them still...perhaps it's time to let them go.

Well, I finally did it. I bought a ChloƩ Faye bag! Apart from my Chanel 2.55 purse back in 2012 it is the biggest clothing purchase I've made. This is a text heavy post so, if you don't want to hear me ramble on, you can just skip to the outfit.
ChloƩ debuted their Faye bag in September 2014 at the Spring/Summer 2015 show. It was tapped to be an it bag for Spring. Admittedly, I forgot about it until I saw it pop up in my thrice weekly "New In" email from Net-a-Porter in Spring. Once I saw it again my shoulder was itching to carry the 70s inspired bag.
The ChloƩ Faye comes in multiple sizes and in smooth calfskin, smooth & suede calfskin, and embellished versions. The sturdiness and accordion style is also what drew me in. You can carry it long or short shoulder and cross-body. The ring loop with hook and chain hardware is also a really fun added touch! Another awesome detail is that the hardware is gold AND silver, perfect for my metal mixing ways. It's classic with a twist, just my style!
The Faye was made in some beautiful colors but I couldn't justify spending $2000 on a bag color I already owned or was just "basic." There was a gorgeous burgundy but I already had that same color in a smaller bag so I resisted.
It wasn't until Fall of 2016 that I absolutely HAD to have the bag. They released a dark purple which, as many of you know, is my favorite color. The day I saw it I decided to start saving up so I could eventually buy it. Unfortunately they didn't make dark purple for very long and after only a few months I couldn't find it anywhere. I knew I would have to resort to eBay and consignment shops when I finally had enough saved up.
I've scoured eBay, The Real Real, Luxury Garage Sale, and Vestiaire Collective for at least 8 months. During that time I came across maybe 1 or 2 bags in passable condition. A couple weeks ago I found this one NWT on eBay and decided it was now or never even though I didn't have enough saved. So, after a week of debating with myself, I robbed my (still unplanned) Australia vacation savings account [read about how I handle personal finance] to pay for the rest and will build that account back up to where it should be. So while I splurged it's not a huge deal since I borrowed from a vacation that won't happen for at least a year.
And one more interesting fact: my middle name is Faye after one of my grandmothers who unfortunately passed away when I was 13. So this bag has added meaning because it is part of my name and will always remind me of my grandmother.

I wore this outfit almost exactly 7 years ago. I still had 3 of the 4 original pieces, which is pretty darn good! This blazer is thick but surprisingly cool which made it perfect for when I was working in an office during the Summer. Obviously I don't go into an office anymore but it is still a wearable look for out of the office.
