Closet staple: the camel coat

Mustard pants and a floral blouse.

Recently I got a request from my IG fam to assist in scouting affordable and luxe camel coats. Always up for the challenge, I happily accepted the request because A. I love camel anything and B. the season is upon us. You’d be surprised how many amazing options are out there without breaking the bank. I was kind of astounded myself. Natch, my next thought was… “I need a camel coat!” But then I remembered that my husband would murder me so I chilled out and decided to help you all out instead. I am giving like that.

Behold! I have rounded up 20 FANTASTIC options for your viewing pleasure. A couple of luxe options, hello Anine Bing — my favorite, while the far majority is affordable for the masses. If you want my two cents, opt for the cocoon silhouette or big collars and lapels. Make it interesting. I strayed from toggles and outdoorsy versions because I wanted to give you dressier options. With respect to my selects, you can wear all of these styles with jeans and sneakers just as much as you can with trousers and heels.

Happy shopping! xo

It’s no secret that I consider myself an Amazon expert when it comes to finding cheap and chic fashion. It’s what I live for! Let’s just say I’ve been busy this holiday season and while I do love the “one for me, one for you” methodology…I will be 100% truthful in that I am gifting any one of these pieces to someone I love. I just can’t say who because it’s December 23rd!

The BEST gold sequin dresses for the holidays.

Despite an incredibly tumultuous two years in pandemic world, I think this year’s holiday festivities will be quite the cause for celebration. And while we are not out of the woods yet, we all have plans to gather and sparkle and shine! Righteously so, too. It’s been a long two years and quite frankly, I don’t think you should reserve your sequins for NYE only. Sequins and fanciness are for everyday with a few small tweaks. Take it from a girl who eats sequins for breakfast.

As my seasonal closet sale approaches, I am once again purging and making room for new pieces, albeit the classics with a twist. Antiquated denim, fits that no longer interest me, patterns and prints that essentially need a new home. And much like the trajectory of this blog, I’ve continue to reach for the classics…the pieces you can really mix and match; the pieces that deliver on ROI.

We inherited my parents French, dining room table when we bought the house and it’s one of my favorite pieces. The natural wood and curvature fit perfectly into our formal dining room despite being over 20 years old. They don’t make furniture like this any longer. Along with it, we inherited the formal dining chairs which we repaired and reupholstered as well.

I had absolutely zero intention of discussing, partaking or posting about Amazon Prime Days. Not out of rebellion but because I really wasn’t feeling it. Like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it is literally crammed down our throats. But then….uhhhhh, well I have a summer cold and it’s causing me a bout of insomnia. Mostly because I cannot breathe. Anyhoo…

Quickie post today as I spent the weekend literally spending all my money on May holidays and birthdays. May is pure insanity for us every year. It’s the fastest month that usually leaves me feel like I have whiplash come June 1.
