3 Show Stopping Essentials for Any Look

You know that feeling. It's time to get ready, you go through your closet, and everything just feels like the same ole same ole. If you want to spice up some of your favorite looks, or add a little glam to a more casual look, then consider these three timeless essentials. 

A Shoe that Pops

Whether it's an over the knee boot or a brightly colored pump, a statement shoe can bring interest to a look that's feeling kinda basic. For this outfit I paired my cute sailing dress from Anthropologie with a bright red pump for a show stopping pop of color. 

A Neutral Clutch

You can't go wrong with a neutral bag. Investing in a classic neutral will ensure you'll have a tasteful choice for any look. Although the clutch is also a great place to throw in a pop of color, for this look I chose a vintage inspired neutral to balance out my whole look.

 

 Timeless Baubles

Investing in quality timeless pieces is always a great idea, but even costume pieces in timeless styles will make your look stand out in a more polished way. Here I chose costume pieces in pearl and crystal to finish off the look.

Coffee Date | Outfit Post | Featuring Anthropologie

Confession: I'm one of those work from home individuals who for the majority of the week resides in something ultra comfy, like you know pjs. Don't get me wrong, I like getting made up like any other girl and being dressed down most of the time makes these events even more special. However, when I'm just out and about being Sienna and London's mom, getting groceries, or exchanging hellos with the other dance moms; I like to feel put together but not awkwardly overdressed. In you know... something like this from Anthropologie. 

Lately we've been working on our budgeting and along with that comes meal planning. A little extra time on a Sunday can lead to a lot of savings. More $$ to snag something cute at Anthropologie right?

With little London still being so small, we've limited our travel a bit recently. Craving the fragrances and tastes of other lands, I've resorted to more exotic meals. This recipe book from Anthro was a treasure trove of ideas! 

Obsessed with this London mug! Must have!

A Walk on the Sunny Side | Outfit Post | Featuring Anthropologie

Comfort, practicality, and a whole lot of cuteness. Believe it or not, you can have it all when putting your ensemble together, although I will admit usually one of the three will get center stage. This casual look is a prime example of how you can accomplish all three when dressing the ever growing curves of motherhood. The great surprise of this look though, is that it wasn't designed as maternity wear, which gives it great longevity in your closet. Read on for more details.

Anthropologie Layered Beadwork Necklace • Anthropologie • $88

My Take

Dress: Even though my body is rocking some growing curves, it doesn't mean everything I wear has to be purchased from a maternity store. One of my standards for purchasing new wardrobe pieces during this time is whether or not I can wear it after baby. I'm relatively confident this is my last pregnancy so I don't want to have to get rid of every piece of clothing purchased for this short ten months (even if it seems like forever). I love this Antrho Mix Print Swing Dress for that very reason. It's not a maternity dress but there is plenty of pleating and room for belly to grow. The comfy fabric is so delicious you really don't want to take it off. And it's flowy! What girl doesn't love a flowy dress. Easy, breezy, and beach ready. 

The dress comes in this blue and cream hibiscus print and also in a red coral pattern which I equally adore. I think the blue contrasts nicely with my new fiery mane by Rio Hair Studio though, don't you? 

Sunnies: I never leave the house without a solid pair of sunnies due to my sensitive blue eyes. I'm always looking to add to my collection and these from Anthropologie are fabulous! 

Classic Denim Jacket: This Antrho denim jacket feels perfectly worn in. The kind of comfy you could live in all day.

What's more important to you when purchasing wardrobe pieces, comfort, practicality, or trendiness? Place your vote in the comments below. 

Until then...

Enjoy the Journey!

Close Up On Stephanie Kantis Jewelry | What I'm Wearing

Amy wearing jewelry by Stephanie Kantis

I confess, I have a new obsession. Stephanie Kantis designer jewelry. Her stunning, wearable pieces of art make a statement as soon as you enter the room and the craftsmanship is top quality. Each piece is sculpted from bronze then dipped in gold or sterling silver. When I travel, what jewelry to bring is always the question. A great piece can make an outfit new, but too much jewelry can get heavy and cumbersome. Stephanie Kantis' luxurious pieces are ideal for travel as they are extremely versatile. Her classic necklace can be worn 15 different ways thanks to her signature "S" hook, turning one piece of jewelry into a wardrobe full of eye-catching inspiration.
