CAMO MIST

Amidst all the chaos, one thing we definitely need is comfortable clothes! And one thing we can count on is for XCVI to bring us cute and comfy functional items!

This entire outfit is from XCVI and I have the skirt in this Camo Grey Mist and in white because it’s that good! Flattering on all body types and a great length, not too mini!

And my sweet friends at XCVI will give you 20% off your entire order with code: CLOUD20.

And how cute are these new wedge sandals from DSW? I LOVE them so much, I may get other colors...so comfy!

I am laughing as I’m writing this because I have on the super soft white Marin Tank that I’m wearing here with PJ pants and a cozy cardigan. Just love the length of the tank too and how I can knot it up for another cute look like I did here under the DARLING Reservoir Jacket. Just look how cute the back of the jacket is!

BEACH PLEASE

There is something so wrong with this picture! Where is the beach? I’m standing on the teeny patch of snow in 25° weather wishing I could lay by a body of water with sun on my face. It will come soon enough and when it does you can bet; I will be wearing this darling beach vibe outfit from XCVI!

The aqua minty shade three-quarter length sleeve hoodie is so soft and will absolutely be on repeat. And what I adore besides the crocheting on these beautiful white linen pants is that they can double as a swimsuit cover-up!

The Detailing is just so darling. This is such an easy breezy outfit to wear and can be jazzed up with the floppy straw beach hat and embellish sandals.

XCVI specializes in wearable pieces with comfort and ease and they especially offer lots of spring and summer wear. They’ve made it even more enticing by offering y’all a code for 20% off the entire site. Use code CLOUD20 and see for yourself how cute these pieces are HERE!

You know the groundhog did say we were going to have an early spring so maybe it will get here sooner and I can wear this outfit earlier this year despite this snowy week currently here in Indiana. I’ll never stop dreaming because exactly 2 months from today they open our pool! I’ll just wear this pretty outfit and wait patiently, LOL!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...HASTA LA VISTA JANUARY

Well, it’s safe to say the week didn’t necessarily start out great when you’re blocked for four days on Instagram for doing nothing but leaving a comment! Obviously, they were in error and when Instagram is part of your work for your blog brand, it sucks. And please my dear friends, if I didn’t return a comment or comment on your post, I am truly sorry! However, on an up note, not being on Insta was alas refreshing and I got to enjoy a 3 1/2 hour brunch on Tuesday with my dear friend Connie! I am not even going to go into why this was such a yucky month because I think the whole week just had a sad cloud over it because of the loss of legend Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter! All nine people on that helicopter were amazing and it was just such a tragedy. All tragedies are sad and matter but because Kobe was such a prominent figure and such an inspiration to so many people, his platform can move forward even in death. And I hope everyone has hugged their loved ones a little tighter.

1. Last Minute Day Date

Day Dates are always a good thing and sometimes even better when they’re last minute. We didn’t really have anything going on this past weekend and Mr. Nine said let’s go to Chicago, but I didn’t think he was serious so I kind of blew him off and then a little while later he hollered at me to go get a late lunch. At the last minute, he changed his mind where we would be going, and we took a little trek an hour and 20 minutes north to one of our favorite breweries. Little did we know, it was their 12th anniversary and they were offering free fries, yes! We also happened to drive right by Trader Joe’s so Mr. Nine indulged me in a quick stop and stock up!

2. The INKEY List Skincare
I talked about this amazing skin care on my Instagram stories last week and I just want to mention it here on the blog because the price point is so dang good! I first heard about the skin care line, The Inkey List, when my blog friends and I were on Windy City Live in December and I immediately ordered some from Sephora. All their single products are under $10 and so far, I’ve tried the Hyaluronic Acid, the Caffeine Eye Cream and the Retinol. I absolutely love all three. Sephora said they can’t keep the caffeine eye cream in stock, it’s that good! And these products are all part of the Clean at Sephora products with only clean ingredients.

4. Blush Pink Moto Jacket

Can you believe this is the first time I wore this beautiful blush color Moto jacket out in public? I remember showing it to you in the Maurice’s dressing room a few months ago and I can’t believe I wasn’t wearing it until now. It goes with my snakeskin booties so well.

SCRIPTURE CARDS

My dear Shelly from The Queen In Between must’ve known I was in desperate need of something meaningful this week and it was this beautiful scripture cards to the rescue! Aren’t these the cutest thing where you can change your Bible verse each day for motivation and I’ve set them up in my office. Love the cute little gingham on the edge and reminders of God‘s grace and love.

SWEET SUIT

Look at the summer vibes these cute swimsuits give off! And here’s a cute story. My Mr. Nine saw these on Vneyard Vines Instagram page and immediately said there’s Annie right there, she could create this look up on vacation this summer at the beach. I thought that was the sweetest thing and when we found out that this collection drops at Vineyard Vines on February 24, Mr. Nine even told Alexa to remind us, LOL!

Helps me dream of NO MORE DREARINESS. So, here’s to all the sunny and sweet vibes this weekend!

CAN YOU BE IN LOVE WITH A JACKET?

It’s no secret I’ve completely fallen in love with the styles from XCVI! However, I just got this beautiful red jacket from them and I think it is so far, my all-time favorite! You know I am all about the details, especially on a cute jacket and this one has details coming and going!

And I bet, these fold over white cotton pants are going to be a fav all spring and summer long. They are so flowy and just remind me of going to the beach. But put them together with this darling red jacket and you have a lovely outfit, maybe even for Valentine’s Day!

Can you see the darling detailing on this jacket? Just look at the sleeves and sculpted bottom! AND Pockets!!! Yay!

And this is my beloved IU colors so I may just wear this to then next basketball game. XCVI creates clothing you can live and play in. Comfortable, easy moving pieces with such style and fun elements. FOR the REAL Lady who loves and plays in REAL Life!

My sweet mom to the Santa person bought the back of the rescue! Remember when I lost my Santa purse balls in Chicago? Well my mom happened to still have a similar purse, only in brown, that had the same balls on it, so she was able to transfer those and sew the straps for me. Her balls were much cleaner, LOL as my purse fur is a little dingy but I am so happy to have this cutie back in my life! Big thanks to my precious mama!

You may have seen my Instagram stories about these fabulous socks by Society Socks. They’re going to be perfect for my sons’ stockings. What is so cool about this company is that for every 2 pair purchased, 2 pair are donated. I just love that plus it is a Monthly Subscription where you get two pairs of cool socks every month. And they have the cutest designs! Just look at those spaceships and turtles!

FUN with FAMILY & FRIENDS

Ran out of time to make collages but had some fun with family and friends this week and yummy food!

TARGET FEATURE

Monday morning, people started messaging me that I was included in the Target newsletter and I was like what? I don’t subscribe to it so I had no idea that an Instagram post of mine showcasing one of their sweaters that were on sale was included in this week’s newsletter that has like 1 million subscribers, kind of cool.

WINE PARKA

How cute is this wine parka? I just love the furry hood. I gave this as gift to a friend of mine and it’s so awesome because it keeps the bottle of wine cool as well.
