This not-too-intense cranberry-ish lip color is Winky Lux matte lip pill in “Bunny.” It came in my December Must Have Box courtesy of Popsugar.

We drive down to southern Indiana once or twice a year to visit Kristin’s extended family, and when we see “the Big Peach,” we know we’re almost to our destination. I remember the first time we went, Kristin told me in advance about this huge peach. Being from the Carolinas, I had seen the water tower peach along I-85, so you can imagine how underwhelmed I was at this only somewhat larger than average peach. Still, the southern Indiana peach is cuter and looks less like a butt, so it makes for a better blog photo background.

Speaking of cute, no one is shocked that I asked Santa for yet another cute J.Crew sweatshirt. Some people might be shocked that Santa deemed me nice enough to get it, but that’s between me and the big guy.

You know I can’t resist a sweatshirt with some kind of cute embellishment! I’m pretty sure J.Crew makes them just for me (and yet they still charge me the same – no fair). I love my navy one so much I’m keeping an eye on the gray version.

When I wear something really simple and casual like this, I tend to have a little more fun with shoes and accessories…you know, because my shoes and accessories are normally so drab. 😉 Seriously though, I like to find the happy balance between sticking out like a sore thumb and just blending in with the crowd, so mixing basics with statement pieces is my jam.

Speaking of statement pieces, I think I’m going to take the plunge this month on an absolutely fabulous yellow suede Rebecca Minkoff bag. Shopbop is having a big sale for the next 3 days (ending Friday night). You can get 25-30% off almost everything (exclusions here) so that’s all the convincing I need! The code is MAINEVENT16. Some of my other favorite statement splurges: these suede pumps with metal accents, this emerald green watch, and these tassel earrings (which are actually not a splurge at all). Shop responsibly, my friends!
