Sometimes there's nothing quite like a good online browse to get you pumped for the change of seasons! Although we don't have a ton of variation in weather or length of daylight out here, I do get a little tired of seeing the same chunky knits circulate my favorite sites month after month. Fear not dear sun lover, Shopbop's new arrivals section is looking bright and there's plenty to keep us both going until Spring arrives. As always, I weeded through so. many. pages. to find the best things to add to your shopping cart. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it!

Now, if only somebody could point me toward the good swimsuits...

Although we're still fervently enjoying vacation, I've been busy checking my inbox like a mad woman to keep up with work, school and online shopping (duh). Some messages don't seem to care that I'm far away from responsibility and new collections keep popping up without any respect for my hiatus... rude! Jokes aside, I have Urban Outfitters' email subscription service to thank for pulling my attention away from the hustle and bustle of Thailand... if only for a moment.

With simple pieces in neutral shades (my favorite!), this Urban Outfitters look book might be the best one yet... in my eyes a least. Lately I'm loving cropped flares and workers jackets and I'm always looking for the perfect jumpsuit. Add in my dream sneakers, a puffy pink coat to snuggle up in and a kimono worthy of our trip to Japan and you've got the makings of my idea capsule wardrobe.

I'll be popping back out to soak up the time off but I just HAD to share these too-good-to-be-true picks. See you in 2018!

I  don’t know about you, but in the last couple of years I’ve been really simplifying the holiday season. What used to be all about decking myself out in festive sequins from head to toe (didn’t we all go through that stage?) is now about comfortable looks that work for brunch, hanging out with family and idyllic winter strolls. During the holiday season, comfort is key and these 20 looks are perfectly suited for a stylish, comfortable holiday wardrobe.
