the holiday cardigan

We talked about houndstooth on Monday, so I have to bring up another one of my favorite fall/winter prints today..fair isle! I love the unique stitching that always makes me think of this time of year. I incorporated the pattern into an everyday outfit for running errands {hello endless holiday shopping!} by pairing it with a turtleneck sweater {layering is key right now}, and a pair of dark wash jeans. Everyone needs a classic holiday sweater, and this one from Old Navy is it for me! The neutral colors of the sweater makes it easy to go with anything, and it also retains that classic heritage look that I love, without being over the top! This was a perfect weekend outfit for going to the grocery store and bracing the mall!

You guys might notice a little change..I got bangs! I shot some photos with them right after I got it done, realized they were a tad too long and got a trim a few days later. So you’ll just have to see a few outfits with the longer fringe. I wanted a little bit of a change so thought I’d try bangs again. They’re definitely a little more work but it will be fun for the holidays! And I’m excited to part them as they grow out {like the first image}.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!

the perfect holiday dress

November 28, 2014
kate spade holiday dress on M Loves M @marmar
Happy Black Friday everyone! Are you doing some big holiday shopping today? I know I am! Check out this post with all the major holiday sales! I’ve been searching for a beautiful holiday dress that will work not just for November and December, but also for early spring. This Kate Spade fit and flare dress totally does the trick! After browsing Kate Spade’s selection on Nordstrom I kept going back to this dress. The pink and burgundy color combo is so pretty and I think it will be great not only for holiday parties, but also for different events and weddings.  Plus, check out the poufy skirt! So fun! I paired it with this black bow belt and some floral pumps. This bow belt adds a girly touch and I’m excited to pair it with other dresses and skirts. It’s an immediate outfit changer!
