Style at Home

While I try to get out of the house as much as possible, when you have an infant (or two) you spend mucho of your time at home. In these frozen weeks we have had, even more so. While reaching for my tried and true Juicy pants from 2005 feels good, it probably does not look so good. I find that even if I am putting on some sort of lounge wear, the more chic it is the better I feel all day long. I still cannot get over how amazing Spanx leggings are, so I wear those a lot with soft sweaters. I could use some more pieces in my arsenal. 

1.  I have a lot of these little Asos dresses, they are so comfy and look cute with leggings. $64

2. A jumper is such a no brainer and great with a cardigan already in the closet. Splendid $78

3. T by Alexander Wang always has great basic pieces and this t-shirt dress is so chic. $89

4. These Joie pants are errand friendly and would elevate a comfy Sunday. $128 

5. Elastic waist band and a bold color? Sold. Splendid $105

6. I am a sucker for a stripe. These J. Crew pants are super soft too. $49

7. Loving these Won Hundred chambray shorts. $150

8. The soft peplum is a nice addition to the usually boring tank. Asos $18

Hot Roller Holiday Hair

I am a true loyalist to the hot roller. Is that weird? I have loved them since middle school and never looked back. 

My fondest memories of them are waking up extra early freshman year of high school so I could set my hair in those hot little numbers for perfect curls. Which is funny because I was into the granola look then, all thrift store cords and North Face t-shirts. Regardless, I can look back and know my hair looked fab. 

I broke them out the other night for a dinner party I threw. And the results did not disappoint. It makes for great holiday hair. 

There are not a whole lot of tricks, but here is how I roll... (so not funny, yet I am giggling)...

1. Make sure they are super hot before using. Roll the big ones on top down the middle of your head, like a mohawk. 

2. Then work your way down by levels, using the smallest ones on the bottom. Which is kind of backwards, but the bottom gets the least amount of time, so I figure the smaller give more curl. 

3. Leave them in until they cool completely. Do your make up, have a snack, pick out your outfit, paint your nails....

4. Unroll in the same order you put them in leaving the curl as much in tact as possible. You won't be able to see if you do it right. 

5. Once they are out, flip your head a couple of times, then run your fingers gently through the curls. Spray with hairspray. I like Elnett. 

6. Your curls WILL be too curly at the beginning, but they will fade to lovely low curls in a bit. If not, run your fingers through them a bit more until they are the way you want. Spray with hairspray again. 

Happy curling, ladies.

Pajama Party

There is a lot of softness going around this Spring and it makes me feel like owning everything in soft colors and soft fabrics. Whether it is blazers, pants, or tanks, this season has a lot of lounge to it and there is a lot to love about this look. I am currently on a no shopping stint thanks to lent (yes, I gave it up for lent and have not broken yet!). So I swept my closet for softness and came up with these DVF silk pants from last season. I love the drawstring, the ease of the fit and the cuff on the bottom. Though these might be a little more harem than pajama, I will have to make do until I can hit the stores again in a few LONG weeks. The feeling that these pants have that I want from this look is that they are super comfortable. It really does feel like I could be in my pajamas and yet I am up out of bed. I have done some pre-shopping and have come up with some great options for us to dive into.
