SEQUIN HOODIE + ASTARS GIVEAWAY

TGIF! The little baby bump is slowly growing. I have been hiding it under loose layers for comfort but it’s getting to the point even the loose layers are showing it a bit. I think maternity style is officially here now 🙂 
 Today I am teaming up with Denise Focil again to showcase her other beautiful line ASTARS. You probably remember this amazing leather jacket from the last giveaway. Her lines mixes edgy pieces with luxury knits. Each piece is designed to be worn day or night, relaxed enough to lounge in, yet sophisticated enough to dress up for a night out. ASTARS is all about tailored, yet relaxed sophistication. The line is a favorite among stylish celebs like Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, and Alessandra Ambrosio. 
This week you all have a chance to win this sequin hoodie from today’s look. It is so soft and I love the glam sequin detailing to add a sparkly accent. Follow the rafflecopter links below to enter.  
Have a great weekend!

Black and White Mix

CLOTHES:
Stripe Top (similar herehere) / Zara Tweed Jacket (old similar here) / Joe’s Jeans / Suede Boots (budget version here
ACCESSORIES:
Black and white, it’s the classic combo I can’t get enough of. I love taking basic outfits and pairing them with bold statement jewelry to accent the simplicity. I would be lying if I didn’t tell you my pants were unzipped for these pictures though. No not by accident, I just can’t find maternity pants I like. Does anyone have suggestions?? I have resorted to the rubber band trick and layering long t-shirts to hide my McGiver attempt at keeping my pants buttoned, but I’m in some desperate need of some new pants!

Yesterday Nordstrom started their Half Yearly Sale, which means it shopping time! These boots I’ve worn in this post and this one, are now 40% off! I’m jealous you guys have the chance to get them now at half the price! They have so many other great sale items 20-40% off so it’s the perfect time to find some holiday items for everyone on your list (and sneak some things in for yourself too 🙂 before the Black Friday Rush.  Below are a few of my sale favorites. Next week I will be sharing a collection of sale pieces each day to help with your Holiday shopping.

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale
Puffer Down Coat / Peacock Porcelain Coasters / Loeffer Randal Flats

Hope you all are having a great week!
Thanks for reading 🙂

Tartan Red

Target Tee / Leather Trim Cardigan / Plaid Scarf (on sale! also loving this) / Leggings / Hunter Boots / Calf Hair Satchel

Hey hey! Hope you all had a great weekend! Today’s look is really what has become my everyday look: leggings, an oversized sweater, boots, and a scarf. I love the print of this plaid scarf,  it’s a simple splash of pattern to a basic outfit.

I know I mentioned it last year, but these are actually kid’s hunter boots. I have small calves so sometime’s the regular hunter’s look bulky on my legs while the girls ones fit a little slimmer. Also they are about about half the price so you can save a little money. I wear a 7.5/8 in women’s shoes, so I get a 5 in the girl’s hunter boots. They have a lot of color options that aren’t available in women’s, like these,  so it gives you extra options if your looking for a specific color.

Last but not least, I have been working on a new design for my blog. I’m so excited to share it with you! It’s been a work in progress but I am in the midst of moving off Blogger onto WordPress. So all of you that follow on blogger won’t see my blog anymore. Please make sure and follow along on Bloglovin‘ and Facebook so you can still get the updates everyday when I post 🙂 I’m hoping to have the new design live next week sometime so stay tuned!

Evening Walks + A Giveaway

DETAILS:
Stripe Hoodie c/o Albion Fit / Top c/o Albion Fit / Puffer Jacket (old similar here, loving this one) / Orange Leggings c/o Albion Fit / Leopard Nikes / Scarf 
It’s Friday wahoo! Today’s look is all about comfort. Being pregnant has made me appreciate comfort clothes a lot more. The second I get home from work I’m in leggings or sweats, then it’s time to take little man out for his nightly walk. It’s the peaceful time in my day when I can shut everything off and enjoy some time with my puppy.

 I was introduced to Albion Fit a couple months ago and fell in love with their pieces. These orange leggings are so thick compared to my other brands, which make them so great for the cool nights/days while I’m out running around. My second favorite thing about Albion Fit’s collection is their long tops. Especially while I’m at the gym, I don’t love having my butt showing in tight work pants. Usually I end up buying men’s small tanks so I can get them long enough, but Albion’s tops are already structured with the longer length. So nice! Today Albion Fit is offering a $200 gift card to one lucky reader for a work out makeover. Follow the links below in Rafflecopter to enter.

Albion is also offer a special promo for Hello Fash readers: Get $20 off any albionfit.com purchase of $100 or more with code: hellofashion20 at checkout! (exp: 11/7/2013)  
If you live in Utah you can visit their cute little boutique in City Creek on the second level by Kneaders. They have the sweetest staff and can help you mix and match and put together the perfect ensemble. 
Good Luck!
