Happy Monday guys! Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite boots for the season with high-end and budget-friendly options.

Once you find a pair of boots you fall in love with, it can be fun but challenging to find a similar style at a lower price point, but once you do it’s such a rewarding feeling. Deciding between the original and the affordable options? Not always an easy choice. To splurge or to save – isn’t that the age old question? 😉

Burgundy Boots

Happy Friday guys! We got snow yesterday! It melted by the afternoon but I can’t believe how fast the seasons are changing. We have so many amazing new pieces at ILY right now and lots more coming in I can’t wait to share with you guys. These shrugs are under $40 and come in 4 colors. We just started carrying these super soft tops that are great for layering. I love this taupe one! This stripe cardigan is probably one of my favorites though.

Also if you do not have some comfortable flat boots, invest in these (here’s another budget-friendly alternative on sale). You won’t regret it!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Thanks so much for following!

Holiday Dresses

DETAILS: RED OFF-THE-SHOULDER DRESS | BURGUNDY VELVET CLUTCH (SIMILAR HERE) | NUDE PATENT HEELS | SUNGLASSES | SILVER WATCH

I’m so excited for the holidays this year! I have always been the person that insists on waiting until after Thanksgiving to decorate but for some reason this year I’m like 10 times more excited. November 1st I was already out stocking up on my Christmas decor!

Also with the holidays come parties! From work to family to friend festivities, there are a million excuses to get dressed up. If I’ve learned anything in the past about dressing for the holidays it’s that you need to start shopping early. It seems like a lot of holiday parties hit at the end of November and early December (and I’m not complaining!) so you should start thinking about your wardrobe early to get the best pieces.

Red is hands down my favorite color for the holidays. It’s always the first thing I search when I’m shopping online. It’s such a show-stopper and is so flattering on everyone, so the holidays are the perfect excuse to wear that bold red dress – plus there are so many shades of red you’re bound to find one you love.

I found this one and was instantly taken. I’ve never shied away from anything off-the-shoulder, so it was an obvious choice. I also ordered this burgundy lace dress for another event – I loved the subtle burgundy tones with the more conservative but still sexy silhouette. I also had my eye on this fun fit-and-flare dress. Tadashi Shoji dresses are another great option for the holidays. I have a couple and always get tons of compliments when I wear them. I love this one and how amazing is this one?! Below are a few more perfect red dresses for the holidays just because I can’t get enough.

5 Girl On-The-Go Essentials

Hey guys! I’ve shared some of my on-the-go beauty essentials before but today I wanted to share a few more things I always keep on hand to be prepared for those crazy days when you are in a bind.

1. Phone charger: It’s a miracle if I can make it until noon on a full charge these days so I always have an extra phone charger in my bag when I’m out and about. It’s either that or a portable charger – otherwise I feel stranded.

2. Blister cushions: Whether you’re on-the-go, breaking in a new pair of heels, or just have a full day at the office in heels, there is nothing more annoying (or painful) than having a blister rub your foot raw. I am obsessed with COMPEED Blister Cushions. They blend with your skin and lay super flat so they aren’t noticeable. They instantly make your feet feel better. They are available only at Walgreens and they are under $10.

3. Lint roller: Whether it’s a cozy shedding new scarf or your 4-legged friend to blame (cough cough Mio!), I always my lint roller, especially in the winter months when I wear more black! Another quick fix is to use tape, but it takes five times as long so I keep a lint roller with me 🙂

4. Lipgloss: I swear, a swipe of lipgloss is sometimes all I need for a midday pick me up. Nothing feels better than a fresh lip.

5. Stain stick: This is another one of those you’ll always regret not having when you need it most especially when you have kids!
