Loft vest // Madewell boots {similar} // Joe’s Skinny Jeans // J.Crew Turtleneck // Kendra Scott Necklace

If you’re anything like me, you love being fuzzy all day every day, especially in the fall. And I’ve been especially invested in…well, vests – especially ones of the coziest variety. I spotted this Loft fall vest a few weeks back, and I immediately fell in love – which I think I say a lot, but this time it was really true. I’ve been wearing it day, after day, after day without shame – and it always keeps m cozy on the coldest of days. A few weeks back I went on the most epic Gilt City adventure to celebrate the most perfect fall day with a few of my favorite friends and bloggers. In record time {literally}, Kelly took a few snaps of me and one of my favorite, most cozy outfits of the season. Sure – it’s not high fashion by any means – but you know what, sometimes being comfy is way more important. And believe me, there gets to be a time in Chicago where fashion goes out the window, and all you want to be is comfy, cozy and warm. I’m hoping that time is far, far away!  In other news, I finally got a little hair makeover so I’m officially back to blonde! I recently stopped by Civello and their blonde expert Jen to get a little more pep in my step for fall. While I was rocking the ombre for awhile, I needed a little more blonde to ease on into this colder weather, and I’m so happy I did. My mother always tells me that the best way to cheer up is getting a little hair makeover {she equates it to anti-depressants and ice cream}, and I can’t say she’s wrong – I feel a lot better.  So, here’s a little advice for you this week – make sure to do a little something that makes you happy – whether it’s giving yourself a little makeover, finding an extra cozy sweater you love, drinking in a few cups of apple cider, or just enjoying a little r&r however you like. I’m going to try to give myself a few minutes to finally read a book that’s been on my nightstand for months – because sometimes taking a few minutes to yourself is the best way to relax. Hope you all have a wonderful and rewarding week! xx
