Conquering Black Friday

Function vs. Fashion…who said you have to choose, when it comes to Black Friday both are possible.

Lululemon Wunder Unders: I am sure we can all agree that the last thing we want to do at 12:30 am after eating everything in sight is put on a pair of jeans. That’s where the Lululemon wunder unders come in handy. These are hands down the best leggings I have ever owned.

J.Crew Tartan Shirt: The plaid shirt is a go-to for an easy, effortless, yet stylish look. This oversized button down from J.Crew is perfect for the comfortable and casual style needed to conquer the shopping scene.

Urban Outfitters Beanie: Everyone needs a beanie, not up for discussion. They are a wardrobe essential this fall/winter. It is perfect for your leftover Thanksgiving hair, just toss on a beanie and you are instant cool.

The Rebecca Minkoff: This mini 5-zip crossbody is ideal for an all hands on deck shopping spree. The reason I’m obsessed with this one is its size. No more consolidating your wallet to fit the tiny clutch. This handbag is a perfect dimension for the classic wallet.

Mophie Battery Case: It’s a digital world we live in and I know I will certainly need my iPhone to score some of the best Black Friday deals. It would be a nightmare to have it die mid-sale.! The mophie battery case is available at Apple and will double the battery life of your phone.

Converse Chuck Taylors: When preparing for Black Friday my mind immediately goes to footwear. Sneakers are a must! The Converse sneaks are available at Nordstrom and completely pull the outfit together.

This look is easy to accomplish - I know I’ll be chasing down the deals in my chucks! Find all of these pieces and more at Burlington Mall!

Enjoy the Holiday!

What's in my bag?

I am proud to announce that I am the newest Style Setter for the Burlington Mall! This is a great blogging opportunity and I am thrilled to embark on this new journey and incorporate it with Sartorial Splendors. Growing up in Burlington I am no stranger to the mall and the fabulous stores, services & amenities it has to offer!  As a current student majoring in Fashion Merchandising and an avid fashion blogger, from the textbook to the lookbook, I am so excited to have this opportunity to share my passion for fashion with all of you!

A girl’s handbag is similar to Mary Poppins; you never know what she is hiding in there. To get to know me I thought I could reveal what’s in my bag…

1. Hair elastics – these are essential. I am always wearing one on my wrist, but they can stretch out or break, and you never know when you’ll need another one. (Anthropologie has great Emi Jay hair ties)  

2. A chic water bottle. Anyone who knows me knows that I constantly have a water bottle on me; I try to drink at least 30 oz. of water a day. Staying hydrated is incredibly good for your skin and maintaining a healthy diet

3. A tube of Le Volume De Chanel mascara. Available at Nordstrom, I highly recommend this mascara! It is semi-waterproof and great for me because I wear contact lenses. No clumps, no fuss: all around amazing.

4. A Planner. Although the world we live in is so digital, I still like to put things down on pen and paper. Physically writing things down helps me process and remember all of the important dates and events – and yes, I do color code it.

5. A bottle of the season’s best nail polish: This fall my go-to nail color is Essie’s After School Boy Blazer. It is such a rich and dark navy that matches everything. I keep it in my bag if and when the dreaded chipped nail appears. Nothing makes me feel more put together than a fresh manicure.

Those are items that are inevitably in all of my bags, what would we be surprised to find in your handbag?
