Comfort and Joy: New picks from Christian Joy, Forever 21 and Cat Footwear
{7 For All Mankind Skinny Jeans c/o Century21 (similar), Cat Colorado Boot in Alias M c/0 Cat Footwear, Christian Joy Logo Sweatshirt, Christian Joy Wow Beanie, Forever 21 Boxy Boucle Coat, Earrings from Forever 21, Small Cuff Bracelet c/o Brahmin (similar), Colorlicious Lipstick in shade Succulent Cherry c/o COVERGIRL}
For once, everything I’m wearing is new! And I’m so excited to be rocking my latest purchases. Over the holidays I stepped into my first mall in I can’t tell you how long (the joys of being home!) and took advantage of the insane Christmas discounts. I picked up the earrings for $9 and coat on mega-sale for $22 from Forever 21 (unfortunately, it’s back to full price but still a steal at $42.80). And because there’s nothing better then stalking people on Instagram with all that holiday downtime, I saw this awesome Wow Beanie on Christian Joy’s instagram page and immediately went on her site to get it. While I was there I fell in love with everything and also got her signature Logo Sweatshirt (aren’t the colors just fabulous?).

Wardrobe Update: Sears Metaphor Collection
{Top & Skirt c/o Sears Metaphor, Tights c/o Hanes, Shoes: Elizabeth and James (similar), Jacket: Betsey Johnson (similar)}
Just like every other new yorker in our fine city, I can never have enough black in my wardrobe. However, I am venturing to diversifying by adding some new prints with some black classics from the new Metaphor collection from Sears.
Whether it’s getting ready for the office or a nights out, having pieces that are trendy and sophisticated go a long way (especially at these prices). Sears’ redesigned Metaphor collection offers a large selection of stylish apparel, accessories and shoes. My outfit picks include the Metaphor Graphic Top and Metaphor Miniskirt ($26, on sale $12.99), which are easy transitional items that can be worn year round and mix and matched. The top can easily be tucked under a blazer for the office or a cardigan for something more casual. And the possibilities are endless for a black skirt — which I suggest every girl has in her wardrobe. More from the Sears Metaphor collection:
Metaphor Graphic Mixed Media Top – Striped ($24, $13.99 on sale)
Metaphor Pleated Skirt ($26, $12.99 on sale)
Metaphor Chunky Knit Sweater ($44, $21.99 on sale)
No matter your style, Metaphor clothing provides versatile outfits that are suitable for your office, dinner date and cocktail party.
Now through 12/27, Sears is offering 50% off the entire collection. Pictured above are some of my favorites from the line, all of which are available on sears.com

10 Must Have Wardrobe Essentials
For the past few months, I’ve been updating my wardrobe with some much needed accessories and accent pieces. Here are some of my current favorite, many of which make great last minute gifts!
1. GIGI New York Uber Clutch ($148) – additional colors available. Super chic and season-less. Go for the reptile-embossed leather style for added texture and score extra points if you can get it custom monogrammed.
2. Movado Bold Crystal Accent Bangle Watch ($495) – I received this from a Lucky Magazine event and I rarely take it off. The rose gold makes it fun to mix and match with other metallics (as seen above), gold and silver and makes for great arm candy.
