Comfy Winter Skater Dress

Coat; Toyshop (similar here)  // Dress // Earrings // Tights // Boots (similar here and here)  // Lipstick: Fashion Revival

I love easy dresses for the winter time. Sometimes it is too much to think of a whole outfit in the morning and I simply want to throw on a comfy dress and some tights and call it a day. I am in love with this super soft keyhole skater dress. It is so comfortable and the colors is also gorgeous!

Cold Shoulder Holiday Top

Cold Shoulder Top // Scarf (similar) // Black Ripped Jeans // Handbag (similar) // Leopard Heels (similar) // Lipstick; Le Rouge 

I love a pop of red for the Holidays. It's not a color I wear a lot but I love how much it stands out. I chose a red gown for our engagement pictures because of how much red stands out in photographs. This would be a great top to wear for any holiday pictures! 

If the cold shoulder isn't your thing, but still love the festive look for the holidays I also love this top.

P.S I've linked tons of holiday plaid scarves below. :)

Christmas Casual

Sweater; (SOLD OUT, similar here) // Pants // Booties // Handbag (similar & love THIS ONE) // 

Wreath: COSTCO! // Lipstick; All Fired Up // Phone Case

I had so much fun decorating for christmas, and it was even better because of the huge snowfall we received. I love having snow on Christmas! This outfit is the perfect casual christmas outfit while still being festive. These new cords are so soft and comfy and look so great with pops of red for the holidays. I am so bummed my sweatshirt is already sold out...I just bought it last week! I linked a super similar one and will update you if it comes back in stock!

XOXO, CAIT

Holiday Shine

Sweater // Vest (similar) // Skirt // Necklace // Earrings // Lipstick; Beetroot // Booties // Handbag (similar)

I wore this skirt to my holiday work party this past Friday and it was the perfect festive touch to be celebrating with collegues who really feel more like friends. We went to Coopers Hawk this year and had some wine and just about every appetizer on the menu! If you guys have followed my blog for awhile you know that I have a slight obsession with bubbly....Well I tried the Prosecco at Coopers Hawk for the first time and it is super yummy! I totally approve! :) 

You cannot really tell from these photos but the skirt has more of a shimmer and sparkle in person. It is perfect for NYE or for any holiday parties you may have coming up! ( I am wearing a size 2, but could also have worn a 4! )

Happy Monday Everyone!

XOXO,

Black Tie Engagement Photos

Dress; Stephanie D Couture Similar here & here  Lipstick; Le Rouge 

Davis Suit; Hugo Boss (very similar)  Belt; Ted Baker Shoes; Cole Haan

I seriously cannot get enough of these photos... DAVE LOOKS SO GOOD! :) Really, though Alyssa Keel of Prism Photography is absolutely amazing. She has taken so many of my blog pictures and it was so much fun to work with her on our fancy shmancy engagement shoot! She is so incredibly talented...if anyone has photography needs, run don't walk...she is incredible. 

Unfortunately Alyssa is booked for our wedding date and we tried over a year in advance so I'm very serious in my urgent public service announcement to all you brides! ;)

I also have to give a major shoutout to Krista from Weddings with a Twist. She is a phenomenal wedding planner who completely transformed this rooftop into the most romantic and dreamy place!

I cannot wait to frame these photos and cherish them forever. I also cannot wait to marry this hunk of a man in 301 days!

Merlot

Skirt // Top (on sale for less than $30!)  // Heels // Handbag (similar) // Lipstick; Fashion Revival

White is one of my favorite colors to wear, any time of the year. I love how clean and new it always looks. During the fall and winter months I love to pair crisp white with deep colors and winter fabrics like this suede merlot skirt!

Fall Neutrals

Sweater // Scarf // Leggings // Booties // Backpack // Lipstick; Craving (ALL-TIME FAVE)

I love cozy fall neutrals that you can wear endless ways. It would be so easy to throw a pop of color into this outfit with a  burgundy hat or bag, I chose to keep it simple with my absolute favorite fall color. It is the perfect everyday color and looks good on so many skin tones! I wore it this weekend while trying on wedding dresses and also decided that it the most perfect color for our wedding...not too dark but just enough color!

XOXO, CAIT
