10 shopbop sale finds

I don't think I'll ever really be able to convey my love for Shopbop; it has been my go-to one stop online retailer for 10 years. The newly released sale items are on point right now - plenty of sizes and plenty of pieces for 50% off. Here are 10 that I'm loving for me and for you: Screen Shot 2015-08-06 at 7.54.52 AM

weds-day: what to wear before and after

When I picture my wedding, I think about allllll the wonderful outfits I get to wear - not just the dress. As soon as we began planning, my mind was instantly brainstorming what I would wear to the rehearsal dinner, getting ready, and to the next day's brunch. Leave it to me to make things extra complicated, but it really jazzes me up. As you may or may not know, there is a huge sale going on at Shopbop right now (use code BIGEVENT15 for 15% off 250+). In an effort to show you my favorite picks from their current inventory, the mood boards below consist of their pieces only (there's no incentive for me to do this, I just love sales and I love weds-day).

 

Here's what I'm thinking:

3_4_15_wedsday_rehearsal// dress // clutch // earrings (more affordable here) // shoes (more affordable here) //

I've been dreaming about layering in some lamé for the wedding. I love the subtle sexiness of this dress, and I appreciate the pop of color and metal mixing that the shoe adds. A low chignon with some statement earrings rounds out this look for me.

3_4_15_wedsday_getting_ready

// sweatshirt // sweatpants // sandals // makeup pouch //

Ever since Juicy Couture's sweatsuits, I've always wanted a monogrammed sweatsuit for my wedding. I still kind of want one, even though I know I will be judged for it. Above is a modern alternative - cheeky sweatshirt, uber comfy sweats, pedicure friendly sandals, and a coveted make up bag (do any of you own a bag by Anya Hindmarch? I've heard wonderful things). The only thing missing from this mood board is a hefty dose of Klonipan...

Post-wedding brunch will likely be a nod to my favorite outfit - Rag and Bone black denim, Alexander Wang tee, and sneaks. Hmm, maybe I'll spring for some Yeezy Boosts.

What did you all wear for your pre and post wedding festivities? Any suggestions or tips? I'd love to hear!

picture of the week

Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset Happy Friday to you! The picture above was taken back at Alt Summit by my stylish friend Kendall. We had a blast exploring SLC on the last day of Alt!

It's been a nice, productive week over here, and I'm ready for the weekend. Raven and I don't have much planned for Valentine's day - we have a good bottle of red we've been saving, and we'll probably cook something at home. What are you up to this weekend? Whatever it is, I hope it's wonderful. Here are my favorite links of the week!

Beyonce's remixed version of Crazy in Love is magnificent.

Would you download a sex app?

Buyer's remorse (and a reason to always invest in quality pieces!).

ASOS SALE! 20% off with code PREZ20. I'm looking at this and this.

The beautiful stories that jewelry tells.

Birchbox for weddings? So tempting.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

See you Monday, lovelies!

tis the season

Image-1 WHEW! I feel like I just sat down after 6 days running around non-stop. I wrote yesterday's blog post in a fog after the first good night's sleep in almost a week. It's my own fault - I get so excited to be home that the second I open my eyes in the morning, I'm up to hang with the fam. I'm sitting here looking at our makeshift Christmas tree, scratching my head. Where did the time go? I know I say that every month but this time I mean it!

Amidst the holiday and the gift guides, I feel like I haven't talked straight fashion to you all in a while. On my brain today is the insane amount of items on sale on Net-a-Porter, but even on sale, these items are not cheap. So today I'm bringing you six investment pieces to buy RIGHT NOW, on sale, that can be worn into the ground. Put your money where your closet is, and get rid of 3 so-so pieces that you own for every hands-in-the-air awesome purchase that you make:

12_2_14_netaporter_sale

// classic striped shirt for layering // cashmere cardi // plaid and plaid // jeans in the perfect hue // day to night winter boots // the best t-shirt of all time //

For the love of little Charlie, go buy things now.

CYBER MONDAY SPECIAL!

AshleyCarolinePhotography(157of283) Good Morning, Friends!

It's supposed to be in the 50's today, and while I enjoyed cooler climes, I know most of you will be happy as you roll out of bed and head to work today. Also, it's CYBER MONDAY! By far my favorite day of the year for online shopping. If you're overwhelmed by all of the sales and afraid you will go crazy and buy everything just because it's on sale, here's a tip:

Head to Shopstyle, which is an online library of nearly every item for purchase on the web. My favorite thing to do on a Cyber Monday is hit the sale button (at the top there, under the search bar), so that I'm only shopping discounted items. Good luck friends!

And in case you're wondering what isn't on the Shopstyle website...it's me! In honor of Cyber Monday, I am offering 25% off of nearly all my services, including closet makeovers, engagement and lifestyle photoshoot styling, and personal shopping! For the entire month of December, email me with LRW SALE in the subject box to receive 25% off your entire session with yours truly!

Happy Monday, indeed!
