Rent the Runway

Few things make me feel as amazing as putting on a dress, stockings, and pretty jewelry. Nights out with girlfriends, the husband, or just an afternoon wine tasting... I love dressing up.

I fondly remember when I fell in love with dressing up. It was on the way home from our annual family vacation to Delaware, we stopped at the outlet stores. And there it was: pink and white gingham dress with lots of white tulle underneath. I remember being so happy wearing it to the first day of school; And equally sad when I grew out of it. 

That is why I love this site. Rent the Runway takes quality, high end designer dresses and makes them relatively affordable for any special moment you might have: bachelorette party, anniversary dinner, weekend getaway, bridal and bridesmaid needs, etc. Their customer service is second to no one and their boxes ship quickly and are easily tracked. And they have expanded their sizes from 0 to a size 16 (kuddos RTR)!!

Please use my referral link to set up an account (it would be crazy amazing of you!)

Looking to buy high end, designer dresses? I have the best luck at GILT. 
Totally drool worthy.  
And here is where I buy mostly all my dresses, in case you missed it.

Winter Vacation

Next Month, Ben and I are headed to Iceland (I know! OMG! Can't Wait!). Unfortunately, it's going to be a chilly 30 degrees!! 

To keep warm, stylish, and adventure-ready -- I'm going to assemble a suitcase with these much needed items:


It's always been on a top ten places to visit for me, and after finding a killer deal through IcelandAir, we couldn't say no to the adventure. We both wanted to do an out-of-the-country vacation before having kids, so the timing works perfectly. AND we'll be budgeting and paying for this trip all with existing funds and NO CREDIT CARDS! In our effort to become debt free this year, this is a HUGE deal.
We're so excited to see all the wonderful sights and culture Iceland has - and have been reading non-stop about what to do & where to go. Ever been to Iceland? Or what's your dream vacation? I'd like to do Costa Rica or Alaska sooner than later!

Here's some of our favorite posts we found about Iceland:

I paired warm, neutral hues and textures with bright pops of color -- and two sweaters because I couldn't pick just one! How cute is that heart?!

I would have liked to add a white (or tan plaid!) collared shirt under the camel sweater; layers are wonderful in the cold months and would have made the look more polished.
