Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

While my favorite kind of football will always be soccer, seeing as how I did play in both high school and college, that doesn’t mean that I don’t love my New England Patriots something fierce. There’s hardly anything football related that I love more than showing my support for them in style with cute football game outfit ideas, even if I do tend to stay at home on game day.

If you’ve ever found yourself trying to figure out what to wear to a football game, this blog post is definitely for you!

Regardless of whether you’ll be in a stadium or on a couch, or watching college or NFL, here are three cute outfits to wear to a football game—

I already own a some of these items, and all the others are on my Christmas list!

Please don’t think that you need to run out and buy team apparel just to look good at a game. If there’s anything in your closet that already own in your team’s colors that will work just perfectly as well. I know for other sports, I’ve also been known to rock and all black look.

Lightweight Fall Pieces I Love A Lot, Perfect for Transitional Dressing

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and features gifted product from Dick’s Sporting Goods.

The weather in New England can be pretty unpredictable, especially in the fall. The key to being prepared for the changing of seasons is lightweight fall staple pieces that you can layer differently throughout the day.

The number one lightweight fall piece that I love for transitional dressing is a fleece. Dick’s Sporting Goods has so many great options in this category, including my personal favorite, which is The North Face Denali Fleece. 

Not only do fleeces make the perfect jacket for this time of year, they look great with everything from a tank top to a turtleneck. And if you have a thin enough jacket or vest, you can layer one under your fleece as well.

Shop fleeces—

In addition to lightweight layering pieces, another way that I like to adjust to the dropping temperatures is to switch up my footwear. 

Shop footwear—

Just add crew socks and a beanie, and you’re good to go!

Plus with the holidays just around the corner, it’s worth noting that these cold weather accessories also make great gifts! Dick’s Sporting Goods has blankets, tumblers, and whatever else you might need for your next adventure.

Nordstrom Made Spring Essentials Under $100

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

Spring in New England is always an interesting time fashion wise. One day will feel like summer and the next will have you question whether or not you should have waited a little bit longer to put all your coats in storage. I personally am a fan of pieces that you can easily style, no matter how the weather decides to act. Ones that you can look just as chic in under a layer (or two), or solo. Luckily, Nordstrom has a ton of amazing options for under $100!

I’ve mentioned one of my favorite brands is actually Nordstrom Made brand, Treasure & Bond. Their graphic tees are a must buy for me, but they also have so much for than that!

I found some of the cutest spring essentials, including this white sweater dress. It’s lightweight enough to wear alone on warmer days, yet can be styled under a shirt, sweater, or jacket if there’s a chill in the air. The other aspect I like about this dress is that it can also easily be dressed up or down, making it the perfect addition for a potential spring capsule wardrobe. 

In addition to the dress, I found this utility jumpsuit. I’ve been obsessing over this style and finding a light-weight one for under $100 seemed almost too good to be true! I love how great it goes with a pair of classic white sneakers.

Nordstrom Winter Style

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

I hear it snowed in Texas. 

Just when it was starting to feel like maybe spring was finally on it’s way back, winter said, lol jk!

Since I’m in New England, I’m used to the snow, and honestly I don’t hate having an excuse to keep wearing (or buying) winter style clothes. 

Typically, I go for knit sweaters and jeans.  But since, like so many of us, my work from home mindset has started to shift to be a little more casual than usual,  I’ve started incorporating even more athleisure winter style pieces into my wardrobe. 

Athleisure wear doesn’t have to be workout clothes, but at the same time, also can be. The main thing is to be comfortable, while still feeling chic. 

I love pairing pieces that you’d wear post-workout, like this sweatshirt, with elevated basics. And even though I would never exercise in faux leather leggings, they work so well with my outfit.

And because of all the snow everyone seems to be getting, boots are a must! I’m really loving the lug boot style right now. This particular style also comes in black leather and cognac suede. Of course, after getting mine, I have the other two colors on my wish list, and possibly getting the next time I have Nordstrom Notes, which you earn points towards when you shop, and can use to spend with Nordstrom later, when you sign up for The Nordy Club.

How are you staying warm in all the snow we’re getting this season?

Two Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas

Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas

Valentine’s Day this year, like so many other things, is looking different than it has in the past.  Andrew and I tend not to go all out for most holidays, but last year we enjoyed a candlelit dinner for two at Ciao Bella in the North End of Boston. I’d hoped that (or at least something similar to it) would be a new tradition for us. This Valentine’s Day, however, we will be continuing to stay home. And having a candlelit dinner for two in the comfort of our apartment, with delivery. 

But just because Valentine’s Day won’t be the same this year, that doesn’t mean that you can’t dress for it! I mean, will probably be in sweats all day, to be honest, but if I were going to dress up, here are two Valentine’s Day outfits that I would wear.

The first look is actually inspired by The Everygirl. They’d featured it in an article titled, 7 Non-Cheesy Outfits for Every Valentine’s Day Occasion. It was the suggested what to wear for a casual date with you long-term boo. And honestly they nailed it! This look is exactly what I would wear out with Andrew. I switched up the red satin top style a bit, for a slightly sexier vibe. And ditched the chain belt, because I forgot I had a purse chain strap I could use. 

For the second of my Valentine’s Day outfits, I wanted to share something that is a little bit more of what people have in mind when they think of Valentine’s Day looks. A little white dress (that I’ve worn before, and was excited for the excuse to wear it again) and a pop of red! I love these heels and with the dress it’s just such a cute dressier look to wear to celebrate love.

How dressy will your V-Day attire be or are you keeping it very low key? Let me know in the comments below!

Nordstrom New Arrivals

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

So far this year is all about new! New president, new hair tools, new arrivals, and new markdowns.

One of the easiest ways to stay on top of what’s in, is to shop new arrivals. That’s exactly what I did to score this entire outfit. Feminine detailed sweaters and wide leg jeans are two trends I can get behind, mostly because they’ll never really go out of style. 

What makes these jeans stand out to me is the distressed details, which are not unheard of, but not nearly as common to find with wide leg jeans as they are with skinny or mom style jeans.

High heeled boots are always a timeless staple, but finding them in the perfect shade of brown is goals.

And if you’re looking for the perfect leather jacket, Nordstrom has my two of my favorites!

All of this pairs all too perfectly with a dainty, but stylish, necklace. I found a few that I love and plan to keep in my rotation. You can always layer a few to add a little more edge to your look.

You may have noticed that these jeans are long! I kind of like them this way, but what I really like is that if I want, I can get them altered for free as one of the many perks of The Nordy Club.

What do you think, should I leave them or get them hemmed?

Nordstrom X UGG

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

Ugg boots are iconic. And this holiday season you can catch me inside, in head to toe Ugg. That’s right, UGG has so much more than the boots we all know and love them for!

In addition to their boots, I love their slippers, but did you know that they also have loungewear and the coziest sweaters? It’s the leggings for me. This pair is double knit, so they really keep you warm when you have to step outside. 

These two looks are perfect for staying in, and most likely what you’d find me in, on my couch or on a quick coffee run. I styled the UGG Fuzzy Logo Sweatshirt here with jeans, but they would go just as great with leggings, lounge pants, or joggers. And UGG has you covered for outerwear as well, with jackets and coats that you can bundle up in. 

Staying in all day? I love my Phoebe Wrap Cardigan, which can also be worn as a robe over one of the UGG pajama sets.
The best part? UGG is available right at Nordstrom, so if you’re signed up for The Nordy Club, you can take advantage of all your free perks, and earn points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, which you can use to buy even more UGG goodies later!

Nordstrom Made Brands Cold Weather Outfit

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

It may not be winter yet, but it is certainly starting to feel like it is. I’ve switched from graphic tees to graphic sweatshirts, and adding (faux) leather and layers to my looks, to make them more cold weather friendly.

With Nordstrom brands, I’ve been able to find the perfect pieces to stay warm as the weather gets colder.

This outfit, which is a new favorite of mine, is all Nordstrom brands!

Graphic tees make up a majority of my tops. Layering them can be cute, but isn’t always the warmest option. Finding graphic sweatshirts has really allowed me to stay true to my style, even when the weather tries to cramp my style. This Treasure & Bond sweatshirt is amazing because it’s a band sweatshirt, but I also really like their non-band options.

Faux and vegan leather is trending in a big way this season, and while I love rocking a pair of faux leather leggings, these Halogen x Atlantic Pacific pants are it for me.

As for layering, a coat is going to be a must real soon, but for the time being, a good jacket can work just fine. To keep my look casual, I went with this quilted longline Zella bomber jacket. It’s both warm and cute!

If you’re shopping Nordstrom brands, or even just at Nordstrom in general, you should seriously sign up for The Nordy Club! It’s free to join and you earn points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, which you can use to spend with Nordstrom later. Nordstrom also has free shipping and returns, as well as curbside pickup, so they’ve really got you covered.

cabi Cardigans

Disclaimer: This post is in partnership with cabi.

It snowed. In New England. In October. 

Not that it’s the end of the world or even all that shocking. It just leads me to believe that this winter is going to for sure be a cold one. Until then, fall will more than likely consist of unpredictable weather changes, keeping us on our toes.

But this year I’m ready for it!

Cabi’s Fall 2020 Collection included a really great selection of cardigans, which happen to be my most worn style of sweater. Since they’re perfect for layering and easy to take off, when you start to feel a little too warm, and if you are traveling, they’re the must have sweater to bring along.

I personally have three of the cabi cardigans, and each of them creates its own unique look when styled with the cabi high skinny jeans and a basic white top. 

Coffee Shop Cardigan
Slant Pocket Cardigan
Travel Cardigan

I’ve mentioned it before, but one of the things I love most about cabi, outside of the incredible community they have, is the quality of the pieces. And it is no different with each of these cabi cardigans. Which cabi cardigan is your favorite and how would you style it for fall?

Fall Boot Must-Haves

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

I know I already shared my fall must haves, but I wanted to get a little more specific. Yes, it’s sweater weather, but for me, fall really means boot season!

In addition to OTK boots and ankle boots, which are clearly my current fall closet footwear staples, there are two other pairs of boots that I feel are absolutely essential to keep in rotation as the temperatures start to drop.

Dress: Alice + Olivia | Boots: Dr. Martens | Necklace: Kate Spade

COMBAT BOOTS

90s grunge is trending in such a major way right now. As someone who definitely dresses more on the casual side, I’ve surprised even myself with the fact that I’ve never owned a pair of Dr. Martens before. I really like how solid they are and feel confident that they will do great in the snow, and from what I’ve heard they are super durable and last for years. I’m still getting comfortable with styling them but I’m so glad to finally have a pair. I’m even considering getting another pair in white.

Cardigan: Madewell | Jeans: Madewell | Boots: Ugg | Bag: Madewell | T-Shirt: Daydreamer | Earrings: Madewell (similar)

COMFY BOOTS

For the most part I’m still staying home. A pair of boots that I can either wear around my apartment or to quickly take out the dog are an absolute must for me. Yes, I have a pair of Birkenstocks for that, but the weather has been getting cooler, especially in the early morning and late at night, which is when I’m out with Koda. I now keep this pair of Ugg mini boots right by my entryway, so I can quickly slip them on and go! Unlike the Dr. Martens, this isn’t my first pair of Uggs. I also have a pair of black one, just not a pair of the Classic Mini boots. For cozy warm vibes these boots are perfection.

The best part of it all is that I’ve been able to find all my fall footwear at Nordstrom! They have free shipping and returns as well as curbside pickup. And with The Nordy Club, you earn points for every dollar you spend and get exclusive access to specific brands.

Which style of fall boots are you most excited to wear this season?
