There's No Place Like Home Alone For Winter Wardrobe Inspiration
There's No Place Like Home Alone For Winter Wardrobe Inspiration

if you’ve been reading the blog awhile or follow us/me on any form of social media you know that we are entirely obsessed with all things Home Alone, holiday season or not. from the outfits, to the burglars’ excitement about stealing VCRs, to the #tbt labels on all the stuff at the grocery store the movie is basically scene after scene of amazing 90s nostalgia.

Kate here, and while i was watching Home Alone for the first of what will be many times this season over Tgiv last week I realized that the outfits in the movie offer some serious winter wardrobe inspiration. I’m not sure about you, but between this year’s Victorian puffy sleeve takeover and the onslaught of late 80’s and early 90’s normcore popping up everywhere, it’s safe to say the McCallisters had serious style.

Roundup: Balloon Sleeve Sweaters for Fall
Roundup: Balloon Sleeve Sweaters for Fall

There’s something about the start of October that just sets the fall season in motion, isn’t there? After spending this past week in the paradise on Earth that is Jackson, Wyoming, I’m finding myself craving cozy fall wardrobe inspiration like crazy.

One of my favorite trends that’s started popping up everywhere this past year is balloon sleeves - or bubble sleeves, poofy sleeves, puffy sleeves - whatever you wanna call them. I’m particularly a fan of the balloon sleeve because the poofiest part of the sleeve is on the bottom vs. the shoulders.

Though I love a poofy shoulder on other people, I think I kind of struggle to pull it off, so a balloon sleeve is the just-right sweet spot that still allows me to fully participate in poofy sleeve-dom.

Outfit To Try: Midi Slip Dresses & Ankle Boots
Outfit To Try: Midi Slip Dresses & Ankle Boots

Don’t you just love it when you find a new staple outfit combination? I’ve been making some style goals as I’ve been purging my closet this past month, and one of them was to break out of my jeans + t-shirt rut.

Don’t get me wrong- I still love a great pair of jeans paired with a comfy tee. But I realized that from time to time I want to wear things with a little more personality, and today I’m sharing some inspiration for my current favorite outfit combo: midi slip dresses + ankle boots.

The great thing about midi dresses and ankle boots is that they work for so many different occasions. A midi slip dress can be dressed up or down, worn on its own in warm weather or topped with a jacket and layered with long sleeve knits when it’s cooler.

How To Wear The Pantone 2020 Color Of The Year (And Shop Small)
How To Wear The Pantone 2020 Color Of The Year (And Shop Small)

Every year I wait in anticipation to see what color Pantone will choose as their color of the year (proud design nerd here) and it’s always fun to find ways to work that color into my life. It felt like this year there was extra pressure to choose a great color for 2020, because after all, this is the debut of a new decade!

As far as I’m concerned, Pantone did not disappoint. Turns out the color of the year for 2020 is Classic Blue, and it seems to be a crowd pleaser. After all, we’re talking about the color of blue jeans, the ocean, and one of three colors on the freaking American flag. Feels like a good choice to kick off the 20s.

I usually do some kind of roundup of favorite ways to rock the Pantone color of the year, and this year I thought I’d focus on independent designers and small labels.

6 Self-Help Books for Dreamers
6 Self-Help Books for Dreamers

I never used to be a reader. I’d get bored or distracted easily and quickly and retreat to watching TV or scrolling Instagram (tbh, sometimes I still do). Until I found subject matter that actually interested me, reading seemed like a chore.

Being a “dreamer” my whole life, I have always been curious about habit forming, goal chasing and self care — what tools do I need to perform at my best and battle my resistance to create? When I started reading books about these topics, I became obsessed, and I’m not stopping any time soon!

Summer Shoe Forecast: Square Toe Sandals
Summer Shoe Forecast: Square Toe Sandals

now that we’re well into exposed toes season, it’s time to talk about summer shoe obsessions. i’ve always been an ankle boots for every season kinda girl, but it’s just not fair to your feet to keep that pedicure under wraps in the summertime. and this summer it seems like square toe sandals are all of a sudden everywhere.

i wasn’t sure how to feel about this style at first, and I was wondering where this trend came from the other day when it all fell into place. if you must know i’m currently in the middle of season 3 of Sex & the City (yes i’m rewatching the entire series after my husband falls asleep and no i’m not sorry) and it hit me that this is a total Carrie look. the square toe sandal is a Carrie Bradshaw classic and suddenly it seems like the perfect summer shoe.

Five Friday Faves
Five Friday Faves

happy friday!

the sunshine is finally back here in LA, which means everyone is now only super stressed on the freeways instead of being insanely emotionally off-the-rails stressed - which is how all angelenos are in the rain. i’m excited to do some more hiking this weekend and bounce around the city in pursuit of my next favorite taco truck.

here are five favorite things i’m loving this month:

Roundup: Cropped Jeans are Fresh for Fall
Roundup: Cropped Jeans are Fresh for Fall

when i moved to France this year, i had to pack pretty lightly considering the tiny size of our ‘pied-a-terre.’ as you might imagine based on my closet makeover posts, minimalism isn’t exactly something i’ve successfully embraced yet, so this was a challenge. on the denim front, this meant only 4 pairs of jeans made the cut (sidenote: my husband brought ONE pair of jeans total for this entire year in France). this past month, i kept seeing cropped jeans and kick flare jeans everywhere in Paris, and decided i could make room for pair #5.

5 Places to Get a Truly Legit Coffee in Paris
5 Places to Get a Truly Legit Coffee in Paris

Paris is a city known for an endless list of amazing things- its beautiful light, the history, the hundreds of artists and writers who have created masterpieces there…the list goes on. one thing i didn’t realize until moving over here is that until recently, this city hasn’t necessarily been known for their coffee. i learned this relatively quickly, as it wasn’t long before i discovered that it was indeed possible to order a disappointing cappuccino. disappointing baguette? almost never. but the coffee scene was something that took me a minute to navigate.

Roundup: Perfect Weekend Getaway Bags
Roundup: Perfect Weekend Getaway Bags

in the spirit of the holiday season (also sometimes referred to as the incessant exhausting travel season) almost upon us, i've been thinking a lot about travel plans. one thing i've been trying (key word here is trying) to implement in my life is a packing discipline to help myself limit the amount of shit i bring with me when i leave my house. while i haven't mastered it yet, i think i've found the key to slowly forcing myself into minimalism: it's called the weekender bag.

High Tide: 6 Staple High-Waisted Bikinis For Summer
High Tide: 6 Staple High-Waisted Bikinis For Summer

it's officially sea breeze and sunscreen season, and I'm personally on the lookout for every opportunity to get to myself to the beach and the pool. this summer i've been excited to play around with different swimwear silhouettes now that there are so many interesting options. though some of these new configurations prove to be extremely difficult to figure out how to put on initially (i've put several on backwards), i'm a big fan of trying anything new and seeing just how awkward my tanlines can get. that being said, a good way to dip your toe into trying a new swimwear silhouette is to just go retro- cause the high-waisted bikini bottom is still going strong.

I think by now you guys know we're pretty major pineapple fanatics here at WTD, and today i'm rounding up 10 of my fave ways to bring this incredibly popular fruit into your home. even though the pineapple vibes have been trending for a good couple years now in the decor world, i don't think they're going away any time soon. on top of being a delicious snack that goes great with various types of booze, something about the pineapple shape just makes a really cool graphic statement. if you're looking to branch out beyond the basic vintage pineapple cocktail shaker (which is awesome, but its just the tip of the iceberg) we've got you covered. so put on those piña colada leggings, make yourself a spicy pineapple marg and get ready to shop your way to a summer-ready space:

Roundup: Wide Leg Jumpsuits For Summer
Roundup: Wide Leg Jumpsuits For Summer

it's officially SPRING YOU GUYS!! ok, maybe it's not officially spring JUST yet (another week to go maybe?) but it finally feels like it because the sun is out til 7pm!! makes such a major difference. today i'm rounding up 6 of my favorite wide leg jumpsuit looks for spring break and summer, because this style has been ALL over for awhile now. wide leg pants and one pieces were big this fall, and i'm loving the way designers have reworked this look in fun, flowy prints for the warmer weather around the corner. i feel like this look is so widespread that whenever i've been out shopping lately, the theme of this season is "surprise, i'm actually pants." meaning, i'll pick up what i THINK is a cute maxi dress off the rack and voila- it's actually pants. not mad at it though.
