… things I love with c21

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight/ nine / ten / eleven / twelve / thirteen / fourteen/ fifteen avocado & lips / sixteen / seventeen / eighteen

Numbers one & four are perfect for a Valentine’s Day date night or a Galentine’s Day brunch or night out and pair either THESE velvet pink pumps or THESE fuchsia block heels with either dress! Same can be said for your accessories, each handbag/clutch & pair of earrings could easily be worn with each outfit. And don’t worry if you want to be casual…throw on THIS super cozy pink shawl with a comfy tee and slide on a pair of loafers for grabbing pizza & drinks or vegging out on the couch.

Can y’all believe that Valentine’s day right around the corner? I feel like we were just celebrating the start of the New Year. None the less the day of love is fast approaching so whether you’re single, engaged, married or in the unknown maybe friends maybe more than friends zone I thought we all could use a little inspiration. Que red & pink errything. Whether you’re gearing up for a romantic evening out with your love in search of a cute gift for Galentine’s I’ve got something that will make your heart swoon with Century 21!

Single, dating, married or in that I’m not sure if we’re together phase there always seems to be so much pressure on Valentine’s Day. Do you go out? Stay in? Does it really matter if you don’t do anything special that day? Here’s the thing, I love LOVE and I love being in love but I don’t put any pressure on Brian to make a big fuss out of Valentine’s day. We’ve been together for almost 10 years and there are some years we do absolutely nothing but curl up on the couch and order take out and then other years Brian gets all romantic and goes all out with too many flowers, a sweet little present & a fancy dinner. Either way I’m happy….and no I’m not just saying that, I genuinely don’t mind not doing anything V-Day related I think the years that Brian does go all out I love it not because it’s Valentine’s Day and he “should” do those things but because it’s so random and he knows I don’t put the pressure on him to make a big fuss. Does that make sense?! In recent years one of the biggest trends for Valentine’s Day has been Galentine’s Day thanks to Parks & Rec. If you’ve never heard of Galentine’s Day, instead of celebrating with your significant other you celebrate with your girlfriends! Literally the cutest and best idea! Go to brunch or stay in and have an entire girls day on the couch binge watching your favorite show. Zero pressure and the best part is you get to spend it with your bestie! THIS macaroon covered sundress would be so perfect for Galentine’s Day brunch! I don’t know if gifts are necessary at your Galentine’s Day get together but how cute would a little makeup bag filled with nail polish and fun keychain, I personally would love to get the avocado…I have a serious addiction.

Whatever your plans are for February 14th I hope your day is filled with lots of love!

p.s. I forgot to add THIS absolutely adorable pink ruffled one shoulder top, I’m so obsessed & can’t believe I forgot to add it to my list…I may or may not have order it in more than one color….seriously.

I literally cannot handle how fun these pants are!!!

I know what you’re all thinking did Addison approve of these cat embroidered pants? I am so not a cat person y’all, no offense to all my feline lovers but I’ve always grown up with just dogs but when I saw these pants I had to have them! It was funny because when I was telling people about these pants I just kept calling them cat pants so everyone was imagining a pair of pants covered in cats, I don’t know that I could handle crazy cat lady pants like that. Given that these are a boyfriend style pant I loved them even more, I hate always wearing skinny jeans. I feel like this outfit is the perfect comfy look, boyfriend pants and a peplum top. I love peplums, they give the perfect touch of feminine flare…and it doesn’t hurt that they’re super flowy so for on those days when you’re just not feeling life much less form fitted tops they’re heaven sent. I absolutely adore the ribbed texture on the top of this peplum & I love the contrast between the shades of blue! I will admit that in so many of my shots I was like omg this top makes me look pregnant but whatever. I’ve always loved what Brian refers to as moo moo dresses & tops, oversized flowy pieces, they’re just so damn easy to wear & I feel like all body types look great in them!

And y’all I’m excited to announce that GiGi New York is releasing their winter sale earlier! It hasn’t been announced on the site or sent out in emails just yet, it won’t be available to everyone until January 30th but I have a exclusive link HERE to get you in first starting today!! They have so many amazing pieces on sale like my Madison crossbody, the navy like I have isn’t on sale it is available on sale in Crimson (I need it in this color!) and in tan! Tan goes with everything so you don’t want to miss out! I think I’m going to pick up their Uber Clutch in this beautiful spruce green & I’ve been eyeing their Hayden Satchel since it was launched…maybe it could be a little Valentine’s gift to myself! oh & for this little zip pouch, it’s under $40 & I’m always just throwing my id & cc’s in my mini bags because I don’t have anything cute to hold them not to mention this would make for a great little Galentine’s gift if you’re celebrating with your girls this year!

Grab your CC and get to shopping!

Essentials I’ve been living in

Happy Friday!!! I’m so happy the weekend is here, I plan on catching up on some much needed r&r and can be found in slippers on the couch with Addison snuggled watching Netflix finishing up The Crown. I wanted to share a few of the things I’m currently living in and obsessed with! Does anyone else hit like a brick wall every time they walk into their closet when January rolls around or is it just me? It’s like I just want to be cozy and prepare for Spring. The beginning of the year is always cold and rainy which might be the issue, that or I’m over seeing coats and boots by now. Not that it’s been really been too cold around my area but still, the idea of coats and boots has been around since Sept/October-ish. Lately I’ve been living in Joe’s jeans…seriously within the past two months I’ve accumulated more pairs from the brand than I care to admit. I used to not really be a jean snob until I put on a pair of Joe’s. THIS sweater from h&m has been my ride or die. I have it in a few colors so I don’t feel weird about wearing it over & over since it’s a different color. Oversized sweaters in general have been my go-to, they’re just so easy and I don’t really have to think too much which is awesome and since the the weather hasn’t been too cold I’ve been living in a variety of my many colors of slides. Moto jackets have been my must have whenever I’m going out, I have THIS one that I got like 2 years ago but they keep bringing it back because it’s so awesome & it’s currently on sale for $60! I’ve also have a green suede one from my shop sieboutique that I’ve been super wearing, gotta represent your brand!

I’ve mentioned it a few times but black has become one of my go-to colors for accessories, THESE Sam Edelman pumps are the first things I’ve been grabbing lately, for pumps they’re so comfortable it’s crazy how comfy and this black rancher hat, so easy and black just instantly looks cool and chic. Speaking of hats, I have a new fave outside my Alabama hats, it’s a stone washed grey baseball cap from Brandy Melville that says bad hair day…literally so perfect. Sticking within the theme of black, I of course had to get a new phone case….I switch out like every couple of months and Sonix cases I’ve come to accept are my thing, I’ve too many to count, the one I’m currently using is black & white swans!

I’ve updated a few staples: I have a gold MK watch I’ve always worn, lately I’ve been wearing the same MK watch but in silver, a subtle change. Same goes for my shades. I’ve always grabbed my gold framed RayBan aviators but lately my black framed RayBan aviators have been living in my purse. Said purse also makes this list, it’s my faux deer print from Barrington Gifts, it’s so spacious and easy for me to throw my life in it and go. I use to switch out because my Longchamp totes but THIS one currently has my heart.

On the makeup front I’ve been trying out so many new products which has been so fun but has also showed me what I’ve known all along, minimal is best, at least for myself. Outside of testing out new products I’ve been keeping it pretty fresh faced & swear by THIS eye cream, I’ve mentioned it before but I keep mine in the fridge so when I get out of the shower I can dap a little under my eye which is so refreshing in the morning. One thing I have to share and y’all this isn’t sponsored but THESE Vaseline lip tins are amazing. I’ve been using the Rosy lips for a few months and it’s so moisturizing. I tend to only use it at night or right before I leave the house, I’m just weird about applying lip balm with my finger when I’ve been out and about. Brian started using it a few weeks ago when it was actually really cold and asked if they had other kinds. I just bought the original and the aloe and they are both just as amazing! Just throwing that out there if y’all are on the hunt for something that actually works!
