Fashion Favorites: November & December 2019

Levi's x Star WarsWith the end of the year being a total whirlwind, I forgot to share your favorite products from November and December 2019.

I did manage to post one Holiday Gift Guide, and while you loved this kid’s play mat, this stylish iphone charging bracelet and these slippers, I’m going to focus on the tried-and-true fashion pieces for today’s post.

Here are your fashion favorites from everything I posted on the blog and my social channels in November and December 2019!

Your Top 6 Fashion Favorites – Nov & Dec 2019

1. Plaid dress – this was my most worn item from my experience with Nuuly.  The silhouette is so flattering and comfortable.  I wore it during the day with loafers and at night with heels.  It will easily transition from winter (throw on a leather jacket and boots) to spring (opt for a straw hat and black sandals).

2. Rhinestone sunglasses – these babies are a Gucci knockoff.  For only $15, I like to say it’s the best $15 I’ve ever spent.  Super stylish and fun, you can’t help but feel like a rockstar in them.

3. Black booties – these are an investment, but SO worth it.  The insoles have a memory foam cushion so the comfort level is top-notch.  They also come in burgundy.  The slip-on style is effortless and chic.

4. Levi’s Star Wars collab – If you’re new here, I’m a huge Star Wars fan.  I’m also a huge Levi’s fan.  So this was a match made in heaven.  These straight leg cropped jeans with a galaxy print are so cool (size up).  Bonus points that the collection is now on sale!

5. Leather leggings – another investment item, but a total closet staple.  You will have these for LIFE.  I originally shared my review of them here, but multiple retailers have them on sale, which made them a favorite in December.  Looking for faux leather?  Try these or these.

6. White eyelet dress – this beauty would be perfect for a beach vacation.  Substantial cotton makes it appropriate for day or night and it’s stunning in person.  I rented it via Nuuly and got tons of compliments on it.  Runs TTS.  Looking for something more affordable?  Try this one from the same brand.

Levi’s x Stranger Things

Here’s the thing.  I bought this Levi’s x Stranger Things jacket and t-shirt months ago.  I’ve been wearing them for months.  They’ve been getting compliments for months (who doesn’t love this show?).  But for whatever reason, they aren’t appearing on the blog until now.

Blame fashion week, blame motherhood.  Whatever the reason, this is a look I wear often, and I’m sorry it took me so long to share it with you.

Here’s the thing about Stranger Things.  If you don’t watch the show, I’m flabbergasted.  You need to watch immediately.  Seriously, stop reading.  Get on Netflix NOW.

It’s a show that taps into the deep, nostalgic heart of the greatest decade this side of the twentieth century.  The 1980’s.

It captures the spirit of the genre so well, it makes anyone who watches it want to jump in a Delorean and turn back the clock.  The days of just being a kid.  The stay out until the sun went down days.  Riding your bike around the neighborhood with your friends wreaking havoc until you just knew it was time to go home.  Or else.

Last week Netflix announced it would be bringing the show back for a fourth season.  Eleven’s baaaack.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I have a deep love for Levi’s (and Stranger Things).  So when this collaboration was announced, you better believe I was waiting at my computer for the second it went live.

I will never tire of the Canadian tuxedo.  Double denim should be a fashion rite of passage.  You can’t transcend into the next realm until you’ve rocked it at least once.

I bought this Levi’s trucker jacket one size larger than I would normally wear.  I love an oversized fit.  Paired with wide-leg boyfriend jeans, the whole look has a lot of volume.  If you’re over 5’9, then you can totally rock this look with flats.  But for the rest of us, it’s important to note proportions.  I think it’s essential to pair a heel with this much volume or you’ll be swallowed.  I opted for a simple, nude sandal to keep the attention on the denim.

Hopefully Levi’s will be back with a second round of a Stranger Things collab now that the show got renewed for season 4.

You know I’ll be waiting.
