It was a crazy past week y’all! I worked all last weekend, and Monday – Wednesday we had a mini vacation. Needless to say my day are all messed up lol. And not gonna lie, I am feeling super unmotivated since I’ve taken a break this week. But I am hoping I can find some things I want to write about and just go with it!

I am such a creature of habit. I find things that I like and use, and keep using them! Once upon a time I said I would do seasonal favorites as a blog post series, but that didn’t work out lol. I rarely stray from my routine, so it’s hard to have new favorites every month or every quarter.

But today I’m going to reflect on the past year and share my favorites over the past year with y’all! I’ll divide things up into categories & link items when possible. 

Hey y’all! Long time, no talk. I took a little break for the holiday but I’ll slowly but surely be coming back to life haha. I wanted to do a bit of a different post. I normally don’t share sales, but if you read this blog post from a while back, you know that I’m making an effort to start investing in my clothing pieces.

Right now, Nordstrom is having their half-yearly sale! I want to share some high quality pieces that are great prices at the moment. The sale ends January 2nd so you’ll want to shop sooner rather than later! Hopefully y’all can find some great investment pieces that will last you for years to come.

Hey y’all! I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I’ve been a bit incognito this week, but I wanted to throw out this blog post in time for Small Business Saturday. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’m always advocating for small business and encouraging others to shop small when possible. I come from a family of small business owners, and I guess I would consider my blog a small business as well. Needless to say, it’s very important to me to support!

Today I want to share with you just some of my favorite small businesses that y’all should consider supporting this holiday season!

Hey y’all! I am so excited for today’s post because it’s all about black watch plaid! Y’all may already know I am all about that plaid life, especially during the fall and winter. Some people see black watch as more of a holiday print, but I personally think it’s a great print that can transition from fall to winter And unlike tartan plaid, you can wear it before and after Christmas!

Perhaps my love of plaid stems from going to private school most of my life; I wore uniforms from 3rd grade on. My elementary school had us wear a hunter plaid print and in high school we wore none other than black watch, so there’s definitely a sweet spot in my heart lol.

There are so many stores that have great black watch pieces out right now and I’m excited to share them with y’all! I’m also excited to include some men’s pieces in this post. The best part about holiday plaids is that you know year after year they will be in style! So you may want to consider investing in a timeless piece.
