Got Spirit

Ready for the big game? It's time to trade in those heels, grab your flats and sport your favorite team colors. Whether you're a diehard fan (like me) rooting on your team, or you're just in it for the commercials and dip, it's important to look cool, comfy, and appropriately spirited. You don't want to be too dressed-up for a day on the couch (it's sort of like showing up to a BBQ in a ball gown), but you also don't want to completely forgo your style in an oversized sweatshirt. I usually just wear a team jersey or a cute tee, jeans and sneakers. My friend got me this adorable sweater from Alyssa Milano's line, Touch, which I also LOVE.

Ways to Score Extra Points:

Opt for loose curls when doing your hair
Go bright with your lips
Wear hoops or statement earrings
Paint your nails the team color

Who are you guys rooting for today? After years of growing up in New England, I have yet to lose my love for the Patriots. I definitely turn into a crazy, screaming fan when the Super Bowl rolls around... so watch out!

IN THE MIX

Double or nothing. Sometimes I enjoy pairing my stripes with my florals and dots- and other things that don’t conventionally match. It doesn’t ALWAYS work but when it does, it’s fun. I love doing this for office days. I partner my striped cardigan with a floral skirt or leopard flats to give things a twist.

Today, I’m wearing a lightweight striped sweater with ripped skinnies and a leather jacket. It’s a classic look but I think the addition of the leopard clutch really takes things up a notch.

What are some of your favorite materials to to mix?

A FRESH START

Is it too late to wish you all a Happy New Year? Oh well, I am doing it anyway. Hope you're all off to a great 2018!

I often take this time to reflect on the year and dream up things I want for myself over the coming days. I think that it's a fun little exercise and I'm going to do a bit of it here. However, I have learned that life has a mind of its own and while hard work is always the key to success, there are lots of things that happen along the way that are out of our control.

Between starting a new job, and exploring new cities, it's been all kinds of NEW for me in 2018. I revamped my closet and got myself a new standing wardrobe and yes, I even joined one of those trendy new workout classes (that I am not confident I wil survive again-oops!) So far, it's all been pretty good! But honestly, the thing that I've learned over the recent years is that nothing is permanent. The jobs, the ups, and the downs, so my goal from last year and this year too, is to continue to focus on the day in front of me. I want to enjoy the now, be present as much as possible, put away my phone at night and go after the things I really want with my career. I want to Facetime more with my fam, explore more and write even more than that. I want to see my niece as much (or more than I did this year) and I want to continue to watch my Mum defeat cancer.

What are your big dreams for this year?

I love this winter white sweater from Goodnight Macaroon. It's accented by a big turtleneck and oversized pockets. You can wear it with jeans but I wore it as a dress because I think layered and with knee-high boots, it works well. There's nothing fresher than white in the winter and to top it off, Aaron did my hair and makeup for this look. Isn't he just the best?
