Happy weekend everyone!  Just in time for Valentines Day I’m sharing this look…and my Valentines date night dresses that are all under $100!

VALENTINE DRESSES

(Under $100)

.

.

I girls!  For those asking about the dress I wore on last weekends insta-stories (the random hair volume one…lol)…this is it!  It’s not fitted…yay.  It’s grey, stretchy, comfy, cozy.  It looks way shorter on the model online.  Also the sleeves look way shorter online…but that might be because the model is around 6′ and also rolled up her sleeve??  It’s under $50 and I’m wearing the size S.  It does run big…but I like my dresses oversized.  FYI…I’m just shy of 5-7.   

You can shop this dress here and the rest of the post below…

.

.

LOOK # 1

Here I styled this dress more casually.  Flat slides, bangle stack on the arm, smaller handbag, round sunnies and a sweater tied around the waist.  Also if it gets chilly you can throw the oversized sweater on over the dress!

LOOK # 2

Here I styled the dress with booties, oversized sunnies, larger bag and pulled one side down to create an off the shoulder look.  It’s not really supposed to be worn this way…but I like it.  

Thanks for reading my blog today!  Hope you have a great one! xx

Hi friends…hope you had a great weekend!  I’m finally getting into my 2018 groove.  Had a late start and then last week threw out my back.  So thankful for the chiropractor.  I was feeling 50% better after the 1st appointment and 80% better after the 2nd.  I’m going back again later this week…and hoping for even more improvement.  I’m so happy!!   Today I’m sharing this pullover that is the perfect transitional piece.  Wear it now….and in the Spring/Summer.  It comes in other color options…linking them below.  I’m wearing the size XS but could have also sized up to a S. 

STYLE TIP

Layer your favorite necklaces to add a subtle statement.  Here I layered 2 of my favorites.  The shorter horn necklace is from Parpala Jewlery (see here for website)…and the longer one is from LoveTatum (see here for website).

I’m not much of a dress girl.  But when I do wear one it will most likely be comfy and loose.  Today I’m teaming up with Nordstrom to share some of my favorite dresses that you can wear now.  Whether you pair it with tights, leggings or with over the knee boots…I rounded up my favorites.  And some of these dresses are also on Sale!  

.

.

Here I styled this tie dress with over the knee boots, minimal accessories and a suede bag.  The tie on the dress is adjustable so you can wear it low, high, loose or tight.  It’s also made out of a really soft jersey material…looooove.  I’m wearing the size US4 in the dress and the size XS in the faux-fur jacket.  These over the knee boots are from Nordstrom but last season.  I linked a similar pair here.   See below for more details and my dress round up…

Happy Tuesday friends!  Most of my wardrobe consists of greys, whites, and pops of black.  Today I’m styling this cozy striped Tee with that exact color palate.  Paired it with grey skinny jeans, black stiletto booties and this black sherpa jacket.   I know a lot of you asked if I could link this exact jacket even though it’s sold out.  Here is the link (click here).  It is from the designer Greylin.  Also there is a good chance it could get restocked one day?  I’ll keep an eye out like I always do.  I have your back♥ .   In the meantime I found around 4-5 similar options to this black sherpa jacket.  BTW>  This TEE is awesome!  It’s long enough to cover the bum…making it the perfect top over skinny jeans, leggings, etc.  It’s also thin enough to tuck in a style as a TEE.  I’ve also tied it to the side which I’ll be sharing in a little video coming soon to my ig @stylinbyaylin.    You can shop this tee here and a similar one that’s under $20 HERE!

I’m super guilty of wearing this exact outfit more than twice in the past week.  The style of this top is more out-doorsy than what I’m normally used to wearing.  So I stylined it up a little with skinny jeans, oversized gold watch, bracelet stack, suede handbag and oversized sunnies.  The shoes I’m wearing are one of my favorites…and I’m so excited to share them!  They are under $30…so comfy and look expensive!  I love them and I’m linking them here for you.  This exact top was in stock earlier today in 2 sizes….but I think it’s already sold out.  It now comes in a pretty buffalo check pattern.  My friend Alice would love it♥.   They get restocked often so you can always check back on this link….and see if it shows up available!  I’m sharing some other similar favorites below.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you had a good day!

I can’t tell you how many times eBay has saved the day!  There have been so many times that I either run out…or I’m super low on my “must have” beauty products.  Only to find that where I usually purchase them are out of stock…or even worse: DISCONTINUED!. Nooooooo.  I usually panic for a quick second and then I find relief in knowing that eBay is there for me.  I quickly get on their site, type in as much information about the products I’m wanting to purchase.  And yay…I find it listed anywhere from 1 t0 100’s of sellers.    

Did you know that 81% of all the merchandise sold on eBay is new?!  And most of those items have my favorite option…which is called “Buy it Now”.  Because in reality I really do want to buy that item now.  I’ve also found that almost all the items I’m adding to my cart are offering Free Shipping.  I love that option!  

.

.

This bubble bath is AH-mazing!  You will want to stay in the bath for hours.  I also recommend using this shower oil…it keeps your skin moisturized and smooth.  I first was introduced to these products at the RewardStyle conference.  After I ran out I ordered them on eBay with Free Shipping and saved money on the products too!  

This self tanner is my all time favorite!!!  And when I say eBay saved the day…it’s no joke!  I always feel better with a little color and since I never really lay out anymore self tanners have been my go to.  Well this little bottle gives me a hard time sometimes…because it’s notorious for selling out!  It even was discontinued at one point (you’ll have to ask me about what the funny story is one day…lol).  Anyways eBay totally saved the day by having multiple sellers offering this bottle.  Brand New!  And most did have Free shipping too.  Yay!!

These are some of my favorite hair care products I use for styling.  And also don’t forget to search for hair tools too.  I was able to find this CHI blow dryer on their site for $20 less than retail. 

I’m also linking this plush robe and slippers (similar) below.  I love wearing a robe out of the shower to allow the moisturizers to soak in.  Plus it takes me a while to figure out what I’m actually going to wear that day.  Shoe cobbler with no shoes…yup that’s me.  

.

.

Hope you have a wonderful day and don’t forget to check out eBay to help you save the day! xx

Holiday parties and NYE parties are upon us!  Today Jeff and I are partnering with Nordstrom to share some Holiday inspired NYE looks for “him”.  One of my favorite colors to dress up is “white”… so we both went with a white color scheme.  Jeff added dark denim and brown leather accents.  For dressier occasions I think very dark denim on men is appropriate.  Just make sure that there is no distressing.  No holes, shreds, color variance,  etc.   We styled his look with one of our favorite “Hugo Boss” dress shirts.  He’s gotten so much use out of this shirt.  From work to parties or even attending our kids piano recitals this piece is so versatile.   You can wear it more formal with the sleeves down.   Or you can wear it more casual by folding up the cuffs.  The brown leather belt and shoes add just the right amount of dressy-casual to pull together Jeff’s look.

Every Christmas morning it’s our tradition to host my family.  We make a big breakfast, open gifts, eat some more, and blast christmas music.   One of my favorite parts is to see the look on my kids faces when they can see that Santa had stopped by.  Christmas morning always goes by so quickly but we try to slow down time.  Opening our gifts one by one has definitely helped…lol.   I’m heading to our local flower mart to start our holiday prep.  I made the mistake once before to come under-dressed with flip flops…brrrrrrrrr.  So today I’m teaming up with Nordstrom, prepared, and in the coziest layers.  I just love these statement sleeves.  I layered a long sleeve white thermal underneath and added a third layer with this cozy scarf.  To balance out the volume of the cardigan I wore skinny jeans and added ankle booties for a little extra height.  This cardigan is true to size, currently available in all sizes and also comes in black.  You can shop it here and the rest of my look below….

How cute is my mama ♥♥

Mission accomplished! 

I went with a neutral flower color pallet. 

Whites, gray-green and blush.

This coat!!   I’ve been wearing it so much lately.  Even over my christmas pj’s…if you saw my insta-story from last week. I’m wearing the xs here.  The color way is called:  IVORY.   I styled it here over distressed black jeans, oversized sunnies and these suuuuper comfy slippers.  Girls…I had some people fooled that they were the $1,000 Designer pair.  But not these.  They are only $24.99!  I think they are meant to be house slippers…so for that price I bought another pair to wear only inside…and the other to wear out in public.  I loooove them!  You can shop them here and I’ll link them below too.  

.

NOTE:  The reviews on the shoes say to order up 1/2 a size.  Since I wanted 2 pairs anyways I bought my true size (7 1/2) and 1/2 size up (the 8).  The 7.5 was a little snug at first but after wearing it for 2 days it stretched out a little and is the pair I prefer to reach for.

This gorgeous, oversized cocoon coat is different than any other coat I own.  I love that it’s structured yet playful at the same time.  It’s oversized (I’m wearing the size 0 here).  This is the light heather grey color way…and it also comes in camel and black.  This coat is perfect for work, holiday parties, out to a dinner date or drinks with the girls.  I styled it here with white skinny jeans, suede camel kitten heel pumps, cozy scarf and my favorite…these fingerless cashmere gloves!  How cute are they?!  I will be wearing them a lot this winter.  They are so practical too, easy to hold things, drive, use your phone, etc.

The kids got to spend the morning at Grandma and Grandpa’s so my hubby and I had a morning date to get coffee and check out the local farmers market and get some christmas shopping checked off our list!  We ended up buying fresh berries, coffee and couldn’t resist these gorgeous roses.  After the Farmers Market we rushed home to get them in water and enjoyed a quick second cup of coffee before we headed back out to tackle to crowds for more christmas shopping.   This lounge set is so comfy and feels super luxurious to wear.  I’m sure the fact that it’s cashmere has something to do with it too.  I paired this duo with leather slides, oversized tote, beanie and a scarf.  I’m wearing my true size for the bottoms but ordered one size up on the top.  (wearing xs joggers, and S sweater).  The shoes I’m wearing are a very pretty off white color.  They run true to size and only took one wear to break them in.  I also can’t wait to carry them into Spring/Summer.  You can shop the shoes here and below….

To get the perfect height, bring your vase to the edge of the counter.

Happy weekend friends!   We’re officially in December territory and the holidays are upon us.  I don’t know about you but I always tend to take on too much this time of year and always get overwhelmed.  I always tell myself to chill out…but NOPE.  I just can’t.  Someone help me…lol.  One thing that has helped a little is…waking up 10 minutes earlier to do some stretching and writing in my gratitude journal.  This is before I check my phone or do anything else.  I’m linking this amazingly soft sweater here and some other favorites below.  Seriously this thing is soooo soft and fuzzy.  True story.  When this came in the mail my kids were making fun of it like it was a blankie.  Well…I was tucking my son into bed last week and I found him asleep, snuggled up in bed, holding this sweater.  lol…but so cute.

Hope you have a great day!

What do you do when you find a library book you thought you had lost???   Pray for NO late fee’s, throw on your coziest layers and head to the library.  Today the kittens and I are teaming up with Abercrombie to share our favorite neutral layers!  

I went Layers on Layers for my look.  Base layer is a light weight knit, 2nd layer is their faux sherpa cardigan and the third layer is this gorgeous coat!  (Wearing the size XS coat here).  All these pieces are in the grey tones.  Dressing monochromatic is one of my favorites!

LAYER ONE

LAYER TWO

LAYER THREE

Let’s talk about how cute Abercrombie’s kids line is!! 

Quality: Check!    Comfort: Check!   Affordability: Check!    Cute Selection: Check!

I styled my kids in neutral layers and made sure each piece had contrasting textures.  Every piece is lined and very comfortable…so my kids tell me.  

Ok!  Everyone gets a turn…lol

Hi Everyone!  Hope you had a great day.  Today’s post is all about this gorgeous statement jacket.   With the holidays here I thought this could possibly be a good option for one of your occasions.   I dressed up this look with high metallic heels, fitted pants, statement earrings and this comfy flutter sleeve jacket.  It has some weight to it so you can feel the quality…and it will also keep you nice and warm.  This would also be cute to throw over a dress, slacks and a cami, or even just jeans and a TEE.  You can shop this jacket here and the rest of my look below!

A childhood memory that always sticks out to me is looking through my moms jewelry box.  I remember being so excited, like I had just found a treasure chest.   My mom would tell me (and still does) that one day she will hand me down some of her most special pieces.  These memories warm my heart because I am now catching myself telling my daughter the exact same thing.  Jewelry is so much more than just accessorizing your outfit.  Do you ever find jewelry that you hadn’t seen in years?  It brings back memories, can create new memories and can be handed down generation to generation.  Today I am so honored to be teaming up with David Yurman to share my favorite new pieces, how I love layering, styling 2 different looks, and sharing some of our family traditions.  

.

Whether I’m pulling together and outfit, accessorizing with jewelry or styling my home… Layering, Quality & Comfort are key!  David Yurman’s collections are not only absolutely stunning, but so easy to wear.  They’re the type of pieces you can mix & match from one collection to another.  This allows you to create your very own “one of a kind” style.  These pieces would also make the perfect gift!  Holidays, birthdays, push-present, anniversary, wedding gift, graduation, Valentines day…the occasions are endless.  You can see their Holiday Gift guide for HER (here) and their Holiday Gift guide for HIM (here)

.

My mom and I always have so much fun getting ready together.  It’s always nice to have that extra hand with hair, makeup, a hard to reach button…and an excuse to sip a little champagne!  We are just about to head out to celebrate her birthday.  Another one of our traditions is to trade jewelry with each other.  I’ll be honest…there are some pieces she lets me borrow that are really hard to give back…lol.  And I have to say that she has the most amazing David Yurman collection!  We love the idea of enjoying things that bring us joy now.  The same goes for a special pair of shoes, dress or even a nice handbag.  Don’t save things for only special occasions.  Make as many special occasions as you can!  Even if it’s a quick trip to the grocery store.  

.

All the pieces I’m wearing are from their Gold Gift Shop (see the collection here).  Also linking the exact ones I’m wearing below…

.

.

CASUAL AT HOME

I always stay true to my style by incorporating comfort without compromising style.  One of my favorite things about wearing David Yurman pieces is the comfort.  Once you put on your jewelry is should be effortless…almost like you forget you even have anything on.  This look I styled below is my go-to lounge around the house style.  Again I layered these pieces to give a more dimensional look. 

Thank you so much for visiting today!
