My consistent rotation of footwear – flats, boots, birks, sneakers.
These have been a staple in my closet & will be coming with me on an upcoming trip to Italy! Can’t beat a classic black Samba, right???
Adidas | Sambas
This is my wintertime office footwear staple – Boston's and a thick pair of wool socks. They're comfortable and classic! I bought mine from L L Bean (linked here), but you can also order direct from the Birkenstock website for more colors and styles!
Birkenstock | Boston Clogs
One of my all-time favorite Vans drops! I bought these in the (currently sold out) Fairway Green and I absolutely love them! They do run a little small, so I wish I would have sized up a half-size, but overall they are a very comfortable sneaker.
Vans | Super Lowpro Shoe
I love the Sport Low. It looks like the majority of these are on sale/sold out but this was another favorite Vans drop of mine. I currently have three pair in various colors (including brown suede). This is a very comfortable shoe with a similar prof...
Vans | Sport Low Shoe
I love my Docs & wear them religiously throughout the fall/winter months! They are a staple item of mine and I love dressing them up and down! I find that the Chelsea boot is what I reach for more, over my lace-up pair – however they are also a p...
Doc Martens | Smooth Leather Chelsea Boots
These are a VERY comfortable alternative to the 580s, and a better price point (IMO). The downside is that they're sold at a wholeseller – I don't think you can get them from the New Balance website – but if you're ballin' on a budget for some dad sh...
New Balance | 408 Sneaker
I absolutely adore these shoes! I had been looking for some low-profile loafers (instead of my chunky pair) and found these while at the MANGO in Italy – it was an instant yes. I didn't even hesitate! I bought these in an 39 (8-8.5 in US) and they di...
MANGO | Buckle leather moccasins -
I just found these at Nordstrom Rack and had to have them! They are so strange but also so chic? I am obsessed with the warm white leather!
Naturalizer 27 EDIT | Carla Ballet Mule
These are my absolute favorite flip flops! I wear this pair all summer long - to work, to run errands, out to dinner. I love a flip flop and especially a leather flip flop! Now I am aware that for $13 these are not real leather, but they've held up w...
Shade & Shore | Cali Flip Flop Sandals
Tops & Bottoms
Admittedly, I have not worn these a lot. However, if you're looking for a comfortable trouser that is both chic and very classic – look no further! I reach for these for every work event or holiday party! I like to pair them with a casual t-shirt and...
Gap | 365 High Rise Pleated Trousers
Currently: my favorite t-shirt. I own it in both black and white and reach for them weekly! I wear them on their own with a pair of jeans or linen pants, or pair them with a button up or denim jacket (looking at you Icon Jacket) for layering! They do...
Gap | Organic Cotton VintageSoft T-Shirt
I bought these in white and black and wear them weekly! I will also be packing them on our trip to Italy! Easily one of my most-worn items from this summer! I have fully ditched denim and moved onto linen everything!
Universal Thread™ | Women's Mid-Rise Linen Pull-On Shorts
I found this, or a similar, new Zara blazer at the thrift store for – admittedly – too much ($20), but I figured that was a steal! I love this blazer and wear it to work, as well as out to dinner or drinks! One of my favorite finds!
ZARA | Oversized Double-Breasted Blazer
Looove these pants! I own them in both brown and black, and they are so comfortable! I'm actually packing the black pair in my bag for an upcoming trip to Italy because I think they'll be perfect for walking around all day! Stylish and comfortable - ...
Halara | High Waisted Pocket Wide Leg Waffle Work Pants
I love a classic white cotton gauze shirt! Easy to throw on and look casual and put together. I have on in black and white and reach for them constantly!
Quince | 100% Organic Cotton Gauze Long Sleeve Shirt
I love having this as a staple in black and white (just like a lot of other things…)! Add this to your closet!
Quince | 100% Organic Cotton Gauze Long Sleeve Shirt
Linking this sweater, as the sweaters I have are not sold anymore. However, Gap's oversized/boyfriend sweaters are a constant for me throughout the fall and winter months. They are heavy enough to keep me warm, but breathable so I'm not sweating prof...
Gap | 100% Cotton Oversized Sweater
LOVE this shirt! They had a dress in the same print that I am KICKING myself for not buying, but here we are. I love this shirt & this print so much. So glad I snagged this while shopping in Italy (a must!)!
MANGO | Geometric print shirt
This shirt is one of my all-time favorite pieces in my closet. I also bought this while we were in Italy and I am in loooove with it! It's such a unique fit and color, so glad I found this!
H&M | Draped Top
I'm so sad this is sold out because I absolutely love this sweatshirt! It's easy to dress up or down – throw over a slip skirt or a pair of leggings! I'll be keeping an eye on this to see if it comes back in stock in more colors….
H&M | Dropped-Shoulder Sweatshirt
I picked this up during the grand opening of a new L.L. Bean store in my area – it was 10% off, so I had to! I really love this print (I was influenced), but the shirt itself is very soft and light so I am in love with it regardless of the endless IG...
Women's Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirt, Boyfriend
These are my absolute favorite pants EVER – but they are sold out! Linking here in case they come back, but posting an alternative also!
Everlane | The Utility Pant in Buttersoft
Denim
I am in LOVE with these jeans! They’re exactly what I was looking for - fitted at the waist and loose in the leg & knee. I’d cuff them to wear with sandals & flats for a more casual look. ** Adding to my initial review to say that these have ...
Levi's | Women's Cinch Barrel Jeans
I am in a denim phase currently, so this has been - and will continue to be - a staple item for the foreseeable future. I love the cut of this jacket, as it hits just below my natural waist, so it's much more fitted than my oversized trucker jackets.... I can wear it by itself, with a tank or t-shirt underneath, or even a lightweight sweater. It gets more and more comfortable each time I wear it!
Gap | Icon Denim Jacket
Absolutely love these jeans! I reach for them weekly, as they're the perfect mix of structured and soft. They give off a vintage look due to the stiff cotton used, but I love how they've worn in over the past few months – they get more and more comfo...
Everlane | The ’90s Cheeky® Jean
Aside from the 90's cheeky, I also love the Original Cheeky jeans from Everlane! These are a little more slim-fit, what I would equate to a cigarette pant – slim through the leg and ankle, while hugging through the hips and waist. Not quite a skinny ...
Everlane | The Original Cheeky® Jean
One of my favorite pair of relaxed jeans! These are what I reach for when I'm looking for something soft, comfortable, and stretchy. I like the medium wash on these too, so they feel very lived-in and casual!
Abercrombie | Women's Curve Love Mid Rise 90s Straight Jean
This isn't the exact shirt I have (it's thrifted) but I love a soft denim shirt as part of any wardrobe collection! Super versitile and they can be dressed up or down.
Gap | Organic Cotton Denim Classic Shirt
Another great denim shirt alternative!
The Must-Have Shirt in Denim | Light Indigo
I love 501s! Target selling them currently is daaaaangerous because these are a classic!
Levi's | Women's High-Rise 501 Jeans
Outerwear
My husband and I both managed to score one of the Baxter parkas at the L L Bean outlet in Maine while visiting, and I am so thankful we did! These coats are so warm – great for chilly Cleveland winters! I wear mine daily throughout the colder months....
L L Bean | Women's Baxter State Parka
I managed to find this jacket while at the L.L. Bean outlets in Maine, and just in the knick of time! It came in very handy when we drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise in 50 degree September weather – Brrr!! I love, love this jacket...
L.L. Bean | Women's Mountain Classic Anorak
I recently purchased a similar coat and I am in AWE of it. However, it's not been cold enough for me to enjoy it….
Longline Herringbone Wool Blend Reefer Coat
Sunglasses
I was looking for some dupes of the glasses Chole wears in White Lotus (iykyk) and these have been the closest I've found (that aren't $400). They're polarized which is nice, and they come with a soft case and cloth wipe. I have these in black, but I...
VANLINKER Polarized Small Skinny Cat Eye Sunglasses
Love these glassess! Cat eye glasses are such a classic fit, and I think they look good on everyone -- so really it's a win-win! Plus they're polarized, so extra points in my book!
SOJOS | Cateye Polarized Sunglasses
I don't have a great track-record with metal-framed glasses because I constantly drop them, sit on them, or lose them...these were unfortunately a pair that I lost, but prior to losing them, I LOVED them and wore them all the time! They're so stylish...
K KAREZOG | Vintage Square Metal Frame
Jewelry
I love this nose ring! I was looking for something exactly like this, and am so happy with my purchase! Because the rings are thin and dainty, they can be prone to bending when putting them in – just something to note if you change your piercing regu...
RockYourNose | 14k Solid Gold Nose Ring: Budded Hoop
I wear these daily and love them! Months of consistent wear and they don't seem to have any visible wear & tear on them!
Small Gold Hoop Huggie Earrings Set
Dresses & Skirts
I bought this dress in green while in Italy and I LOVE it. I cannot wait to wear it – I'm thinking of how to wear it for an upcoming wedding…the color and quality of the fabric is incredible. Love this dress!
MANGO | Satin dress
This is probably one of my most-worn items ever! I absolutely love this skort, so much so that I have it in three different styles! It's versatile, comfortable, and classic; I own in in classic black in the standard mini skirt, linen blend, and the a...
Abercrombie | Scarlett Mini Skort
I was clearly on the hunt for satin & silk….I found this incredible aubergine satin skirt while in the Zara in Italy and had to snatch it up! Love love love!
ZARA | SATIN MIDI SKIRT
Athleisure
Another one of my most-worn items! I love this dress! I have it in both black and white, and I love both options equally! It's comfortable enough for all-day wear, the only downside is that it's one piece so you do have to take the entire thing off t...
Ewedoos | Women's Tennis Dress
My favorite leggings! I have these in navy and brown, and many pairs of black. They're so comfortable for around the house, yoga, or even to wear under a long sweater at work! They don't roll down while you're working out or doing yoga, and they wash...
CRZ YOGA | Butterluxe High Waisted Lounge Legging
My favorite tanks for yoga! I love that they are double lined so I don't have to wear a bra under them!
CRZ YOGA Womens Butterluxe Double Lined Tank
I love this white tank – not see through so I can comfortably wear it to class without a bra!
CRZ YOGA Womens Butterluxe Double Lined Tank
A great basic workout top!
CRZ YOGA | Pima Cotton Short Sleeve Workout Tops
I just bought these the other weekend (the set, actually) and I don't think I've taken it off for two weeks. These pants (and sweatshirt) are sooooo soft and comfortable!
H & M | Cotton-blend Sweatpants
This sweatshirt is so soft and so comfortable! I have been wearing it for two weeks straight – it's the only thing I want to have on!
H & M| Hoodie
Intimates
These are the perfect t-shirt bras (for me) for every day wear! They're so comfortable, wash great, and don't show any lines through your clothes. I have this bra in three colors – black, brown, and nude – and I wear them every week!
True & Co. True Everybody Women's Adjustable Strap Triangle Bra
