LC by Lauren Conrad at Kohl's


I found myself at Kohl's this last weekend, stalking a very specific Christmas gift request from my mother in law (which I happily found there). I couldn't help but peruse the LC for Lauren Conrad section.  I also couldn't help but try one of the tops on, and inevitably couldn't help but take it home with me. I was pretty impressed with the selection that seemed especially accommodating to a growing baby bump (and I think many would also help camouflage a postpartum body).

Here are my favorite finds:


1 - Tiered Tank - $27.99 (Orig. $40.00) {similar to the sold out Anthro Free Flow tank}
2 - Embellished Cardigan - $24.99 (Orig. $50.00)
3 - Crochet Banded-Bottom Top - $29.99 (Orig. $40.00)
4 - Embellished Cropped Cardigan - $24.99 (Orig. $50.00)
5 - Floral Banded-Bottom Top - $16.99 (Orig. $34.00) {I bought this in Grey Floral + am loving it}
6 - Floral Dolman Top - $24.99 (Orig. $34.00)

What do you think of the picks? Anything you are you would love to wear? Leave your thoughts below.

As a funny side note, I tried on the top I bought for the hubs when I got home. The moment I put it on he said "that is so Lauren Conrad", which totally made me laugh. Granted, he did suffer through a few episodes of the Hills with me once upon a time.

And the Winner is...

I had a great time hosting the giveaway from Legxicon last week. Thank you for all your comments, it was so fun! The winner is lucky number 9,

Christmas Wishlist


I have gathered a group of things I wouldn't mind finding under the tree this Christmas. You may notice the I am not asking for many things to wear, as I generally prefer to buy those things for myself.


Chunky Knit Marled Short Infinity Scarf - Charlotte Russe - $16.50
  • I think infinity scarves are genius, and this one seems particularly cozy.
Lungs | Florence + the Machine - Amazon - $8.98
  • If you have heard any bit of a Florence + the Machine song, you know how catchy and original they are. If you haven't, I suggest checking out Dog Days Are Over
Warm Vanilla Sugar Eau de Toilette - Bath & Body Works - $13.25 (Orig. $26.50)
  • I had a very difficult time transitioning from candy scented body sprays to perfume. I knew what I was wearing was a bit juvenile, but every perfume I tried smelled like an old woman to me. My husband bought me this scent last year, and it was just the thing. 
Matched | Ally Condie - Amazon - $10.52
Mid-Century Rocker - Urban Outfitters - $288.00
  • I have been searching high and low for a good looking rocking chair, which turns out to be quite the feat. This is on the pricey side of things, but as we already have many other baby needs taken care of (both my husband and I being the youngest in our families + have inherited so many wonderful pieces of furniture and other baby supplies), we have decided this can be our one splurge. We are planning to help pay for it with Christmas gift money from my mom (thanks again, Mom!) 
What are your Christmas must haves this year (realistic or not)? Leave your thoughts below.

Also, I wanted to share my favorite holiday song this year. It's a cover by Built for the Sea, and I can't stop humming it:



Spied: Merona Floral Cardigan


I spotted this floral cardigan at Target and it immediately reminded me of something:


Merona® Essential Cardigan Sweater - Yellow - $15.00 (Orig. $22.99)

This sweater was one of my favorite things at J.Crew back in Spring 2009:


It was originally $88. Old Navy had a similar sweater at the time, but the ON version's yellow was a bit too pastel for my taste.

What do you think of the target version? Is it something you would wear? Leave your thoughts below.

Legxicon Review + Giveaway


I was recently contacted by Legxicon, a hosiery company, asking me to review a few pairs of tights. I love patterned tights and was so excited to receive them. I ordered these three varieties:


I have had a chance to try out all three pairs and love them. I have gotten compliments on each pair! They have a wonderful texture and a soft, comfortable waist band.

Look for Less: Anthropologie Striped Open Cardigan


Rachel sent me this fantastic look-a-like a few weeks ago. She even remembered that I posted an inspired outfit including this striped cardigan last year.


Striped Drapey Cardigan - Anthropologie - $too much (sold out)
All That's Needed Cardigan - Modcloth - $29.99

There was actually a bit of a debate about the cardigan I posted in my inspired outfit. I am so pleased that Rachel found such a fantastic option (and at such a reasonable price too).

What do you think? Is this something you would wear? Leave your thoughts below.

Spied: Sequined Crop Jacket


I am such a sucker for sequins. Last spring sequined pieces in a lighter, warmer palette made their way down the runways and I fell in love the look. I saw this jacket and was instantly smitten. Wouldn't this be a great piece to add some sparkle to your holiday season?


Sequined Crop Jacket - Forever 21 - $27.80

A Little Announcement

I'm pregnant.



{cardi - courtesy of DEB, tee - J.Crew - $19, LEI jeggings - $12, boots - thrifted - $10}


Some of you may have noticed my recent lack of presence on the blog. My belief is that the most common side effects of pregnancy are fatigue, morning sickness, and a lack of motivation to blog.

I am currently 15 weeks along, with a tentative due date of May 11.

I am over my first trimester symptoms, which mainly consisted of being extremely tired and not wanting to get dressed. I was actually 9 weeks along when I figured it out, so I went most of my first trimester without knowing it.

It's been a long hard road to get here, and we couldn't be happier.

I will definitely try to post more often now that I am feeling human again.

Style File: Jena {Family Photo Shoot}


I got an email request last week from Jena,

Hello! This is short notice but my husband and I were asked by a photographer to pose in a pumpkin patch early next week, the 3 of us decided that since no kids would be in the photo we didn't want them too "Halloween" themed but also not too Fall-ish. We decided that a small horizontal black and white stripe, probably on me, would pop nicely against the pumpkins and still get the look we are going for.

My delima, I don't want to look like an inmate or like I am an additional 12 inches wide! I was thinking maybe some kind of layering over a striped T but I've never worn stripes so I don't know! I also thought about a scarf as well. I am clueless about what my husband should wear. Since our backdrop will be green and orange I am unsure about adding another color (I also have red hair!).


ANY help you could give would be amazing and I will send you some photos of how it turned out!


Thank you so much!

God bless,
Jena Leigh
