Winter Coat Time of the Year!

December 18, 2017

We’ve been lucky enough to have over a week of cold temps here in Florida!  So, Kat and I are trying to wear all of the coats we own at least once because we know this weather will be gone before we know it.

 Plus, coats always seem to amp up my outfit and make me feel all fancy even if I wear them with a tee, blouse, or sweater! Continue Reading

Cold Weather // Casual

December 14, 2017

Sweater weather is upon us!

I know some of you reading this are currently experiencing snowy days and negative temps, but over here in Florida we are experiencing “winter-ish” weather of our own, haha. When the temps drop down to the 40’s us Floridians definitely begin to bundle up. You know we are not prepared for this type of cold!

We have styled two casual, cozy looks for you regardless of your current city’s temps. If you’re in a warmer climate like us, you can definitely warm up my look with a jacket or coat.

Tee’s look is cold weather ready!

You have to go special for the moms out there around the Holidays. They deserve the best and sometimes it can be challenging to find the perfect gift for those ladies!

Whether you’re on the hunt for a gift for your mom, mother in law, stepmom, or any special lady in your life we have your covered!

L’OCCITANE

L’OCCITANE is one of my favorite spots to buy gifts for my mom {and myself}. Not only are the products aaamazing but they are so perfect for the mothers in your life! They have holiday sets that range in price so you can grab a cute stocking stuffer or one of their amazing gift sets and be good to go.

SHUTTERFLY

Photo books are one of our favorite gifts to personalize for our Mom. They give you the ability to share some of your favorite memories, but they are so easy to make these days!

load

If photo books aren’t your thing, they have so many other cute items to personalize. Our favorites are the cute tea towels or pretty desk calendars. Adding photos are personal messages are always the perfect touch to a gift for mom.

CASEAPP

Going along with the personal touches, we love Caseapp for creating custom cases for cellphones, iPads, or laptops. You can design the perfect case for your mom, stepmom, mother in law, etc.It is so easy to do and you can add photos, or details that they love!

WINC

If your mom is a wine lover, a wine subscription is so perfect for her. Winc delivers four bottles of wine to your mom/stepmom/mother in law/etc based on their preferred tastes. Best part is if you live close you can drive over on delivery day and have a few glasses with them!

COZY NIGHT IN

Now we all know moms deserve a night to relax and unwind and what better way to do that but in some comfy, cozy pieces. I can’t speak for every mom, but I know ours definitely does not buy nice loungewear for herself. It’s one of those items most people won’t splurge on for themselves-so what better thing to buy for that special woman in your life!

load

Honorable gift mentions are a facial or massage at a local spa-what mom doesn’t love that?!

Mothers do so much for us on a daily basis, you want to find the perfect way to say that you appreciate them over the holidays. And of course if you are a mom and are reading this you totally deserve to buy all of these gifts for yourself haha!

both suede jacket looks

Now you know here on Fashion without the Fortune we are all about affordable fashion. But sometimes you come across a piece that is so timeless and wearable that you know it’s worth the extra money. This jacket is definitely that piece.

This jacket was part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale this year and even with the sale price we weren’t sure if we should spend the money. Tee took the plunge and bought the gorgeous gray shade. It is so perfect for the cooler Fall nights and can be styled in so many ways!
