Bell Sleeves

On Whit: MINKPINK Day Dream Bell Sleeve Top, Gap jeans (old, similar), Soko Circle Sway Necklace, Joie Barlow Suede Booties

Never thought I'd find myself wearing a bell sleeved top without feeling a bit over-the-top and getting funny looks from the bf.  As my style has gotten a lot simpler over the years, I'm always on the hunt for basic pieces with a twist. This one by Minkpink caught my eye as I was looking through Saks Off Fifth the other day.  The neutral color is easy to wear even to work!

As the weather cools down, we layer up.  I fell in love with the neckline on this Margaret O'Leary sweater - mock neck and with a zipper?   I also adore the waffle knit...a waffle knit just feels so much cozier than a regular knit somehow.

I have been trying to wear cozy knits for weeks, but finally it actually makes sense, temperature-wise. I nabbed this knit in-store last week and was smitten.  I had seen it online but noticed it was only available in medium. Being short, I was worried about the fit, but in-store they only had mediums anyway.  Luckily, I like it slouchy.

I wanted to pair it with a stretchy midi-skirt, which I don't own, so I faked it with a dress and a belt underneath to tuck in the sweater.

We are loving all the statement boots we have been seeing...say yes to velvet and embroidery!! That being said, we have a huge problem with this whole 'shoes on the bed thing.' We are going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume all of these shoes are brand new and/or these sheets are for the sole purpose of photos and not for sleeping. We are a bit germaphobic FYI.

Shop our picks below (including those embroidered boots from the top!!)

Cannot even describe how excited I was when Coach reached out to promote the Coach Rogue.  The first ~luxury~ item I ever bought myself was a tiny Coach baguette bag with the money I made from babysitting/tutoring.  I bought it from the outlet and it was $100 (:0).

Since the early 2000s, Coach's style (and my own) has evolved.  Their latest line of Coach 1941 bags brings together classic Coach quality with modern details.  Case in point: the contrasting lining of the Rogue.  It's a fun, unexpected pop of color which makes the bag all that more special.

In case you somehow missed it, Mal is obsessed with her Chloe Mini Faye Bracelet Bag (see here, here, here and here!).  Metal ring embellishments  add a modern, geometric edge to a handbag...and we can't help noticing they have been popping up everywhere!

So I got these jeans on super sale in-store at J. Crew a while back, and did not realize they were supposed to be cropped until looking them up to link here.  I should have realized when I put them on and there weren't tubes extending past my feet...

After a weird heat wave last week, we are getting some cloudy skies and light sprinkles here in the bay area. We are currently cozied up in chunky knits and crawling Pinterest for the coziest apparel possible - sweater coats.
