Happy Friday! I’m over here nursing a cold and taking a look back at 2016. This past year was good to me and I can only hope that 2017 is as healthy and happy! In honor of the new year here are 12 of my favorite outfits and trends from 2016!

 

The floral dress – A classic style that will always be around! I love the simplicity of this long sleeve swingy one!

The check blanket wrap – easy to carry with you and throw on when you need it. I’ve had various versions of these by my side for the last few weeks!

The bell sleeve top – I think we can all agree that this trend is such a fun party top! How pretty is this sweater version?

The sleeveless sweater – Perfect for season transitioning! And how cute is this grey turtleneck?

The caftan dress – A summer essential, hides a plethora of pool bbq sins. How amazing is this black one?

The simple shirtdress – I love any dress that I can dress up or down. And how cute is this flannel plaid one?

One of my favorite trends from 2016 that I will be carrying into 2017 is the little stripe dress. It works as a statement or as a neutral, can be dressed up or down, and comes in so many silhouettes. This navy and white one that I’m wearing below has a the cutest little ruffle collar and is under $50!

It’s not too late to pick up something perfect for NYE :) Here are some of my favorite options!

 

desktop377

 

metallic dress, black pumps, black ruffle top, metallic sequin dress,

gold pumps, satin halter top, grey ruffle top, blue earrings, pink earrings,

gold top, black ruffle dress, black strappy pumps, black mesh dress,

red dress, necklace, white skirt, grey sweater, black boots, black dress

 

I’d love to wear everything single thing here. I wish my plans called for either that metallic sheen dress or that sequin dress, but the gold cold shoulder top or the satin halter top are probably more my speed this year. A great new pair of well fitted jeans can make any outfit feel 10 times better. Same goes for the perfect pair of heels.

A little bit of my life lately…

 

I attended a wreath making workshop with Vine Garden Market at Fritz Porter last week and LOVE how it turned out. I had never actually made a wreath before, it was so fun! I hung it on our bar at our holiday party last weekend.

Here are some of our holiday decorations at home this year. Love our cotton wreath!

I toured Molly B Right’s art studio and was blown away. She covers all of her paintings with bottle caps and the end result is so amazing. Even prettier in person!

Over Thanksgiving we did a staycation downtown at Charleston Place Hotel and had the best time!

Gray and I did some holiday shopping a few days ago together… Just kidding. I mean, we did go shopping together. But we didn’t really wear this together sweater around…

We took the kids to see the Nutcracker at The Gaillard and it was such a memorable experience.

Pretty Lake pajamas all in a row.

I finally found a pair of black high ankle boots that I love – the heels are chunky making them easy to wear all day long. And remember this check blanket wrap?

And that’s all the pictures I have so I guess that completes this installment of life lately :) xoxo
