    4 The Moody Gal

     

    Hello all you moody gals, today we have probably my favorite mood boards I’ve made so far because they tell a story about this moody gal & where she’s going & what she wants! For all the places I eventually want to go to, I made boards full of new & cute  pieces that will be coming out this week so here’s a little sneak peak. All you lucky ladies we have 5 moods for you to choose, but why not choose all!!

     

     

    Sweet as can be in New York

    This is for the easy going, high-class gal in New York! Her day starts off with opening her long billowy curtains to see the beautiful sun peeking through. She chooses the light hearted way of life which comes in subtle pinks & browns mixed together. The Days Ahead Shacket is a fave of mine & it is for this moody gal too in NY. Its light & flowy for the windy days so she can look effortlessly warm & girly.

     

    Catchin’ Cabs

    Coffee, croissant, & in a rush to get to the airport because this moody gal has got to go! She stays on her feet, ready to make the next move whether it’s a work trip or for fun. Black is her go-to color along with the athletic, business look. The Francie Fuzzy Pullover is fun & comfy for her!  A power pant with gold jewelry, unique sunnies, and some shiny penny loafers is her travel uniform. As she waits for her cab, or limo, or whatever she prefers, she waits patiently with a Vogue in her lap & a mocha in hand.

    Rich Girl Yacht Club

    This moody gal is ready for some sun & the ocean breeze so she can finally relax! Propped up on her lounge with her chic heels, she chooses to wear a jumpsuit to stay warm from the wind. The Manola Jumpsuit has the best ocean side vibes! The color is perfect near the water & makes you look tan & adventurous. Celebrate this moment with some lemonade or champagne with your friends in the evening on our imaginary yacht!

     

    The Path to Italy

    Golden hour moody gal has found her home in Milan with all the beautiful cobblestone paths & welcoming people! She finds her place among the red wine & the flowered villa overlooking the water. She goes for an understated look with muted colors like the Milo Collared Sweater & Kimberly Cargo Trousers. The muted neutral with the softness of the sage green trousers make this trip adventurous & ready for all the wandering & sight seeing. This gal will most likely move in & not come back due to all the red wine & pasta!

     

    NY “IT” GAL

    You can find this up-town gal strutting through Manhattan with her band in tow. She’s a fierce girl, who loves a good challenge, so don’t step on her. She’s chic & she knows it with her go-to colors: Big Apple Red & Jet Black. The Jeanna Puffer Jacket will never not be part of her going out look-she likes to look mysterious & cool. You’ll never question her sense of fashion because she’s ahead of the game!

The Romilla Midi Dress in white is the ultimate wandering outfit that is easy to move in & be comfy at the same time. Look effortlessly beautiful in the unique cotton dress that is simply elegant.

  • Lounge Heaven

    Lounge Heaven
    The year of 2022 is all about rest & taking care of yourself girly! There’s been a lot of random & chaotic events happening within the past several years & its time to step back & re-evaluate how you’re doing. Everyone takes care of themselves differently, & I know (preaching to the choir here) that we all forget to do something good for ourselves as well. Whether it’s reading, meal prepping, exercising, listening to music, or whatever else makes you feel content & relaxed- you should be doing more of that! I personally love to turn up my favorite music (usually 70/80s rock or any throwback songs) & paint till my hearts content. Mixing my art & fashion together is probably where you’ll find me at my most relaxed…. sipping coffee in an SJ lounge set with my music blaring & my paint brushes all over the place. Let me show ya’ll the easiest & comfiest loungewear to express yourself in!

    Sweet Bliss Tank & Sweet Bliss Pants

    This set comes from one of my favorite brands we carry called “Lost + Wander”! The knit is comfy & stretchy so its great for any lazy day active movement. The color is a grainy sand with a ribbed texture & a tie at the waist to make it snug. The set is unique because it’s not the trendy tight outfit. The pants stand out because it’s a semi straight semi wide leg fit. The length hits mid calf & its also high waisted. The tank is round neck & slightly fitted. It’s not cropped but a little shorter so it can be paired with the pant perfectly. This lounge set is great for layering with any cardigan we have. This set is made for jumping on beds with your gals & being in the moment!

    Dakota Fleece Cardigan

    If you need all the fuzzy feels the Dakota is the best cardigan to wrap yourself up in! She is a light mocha colored cardigan with black trim to help it stand out, because this fleece isn’t just any cardigan. The Dakota is long & can honestly be used as a robe, which would make for a great gift for your mom, sister, mother-in-law, or girlfriends! My favorite thing about the cardigan besides the soft texture is the big pockets. Everything is better with pockets & they just happen to be big so you can fit your chapstick & phone in it!

    Cassandra Crop Pullover

    Stuck in bed all day? The Cassandra would look great on you, all while curled up in bed with all the warm blankets & pillows! The beautiful cocoa colored ribbed sweater is easy to pair with leggings or any straight lounge pant. She’s versatile because you can wear her out, but lets keep this in the rest realm for now! The sweater is cropped but not as short as you think. The arms are wide at the top & then get tighter from the elbow down creating a cool effect. For the gals that don’t want super tight fitted sweaters on their arms, the Cassandra is perfect for you! She’s easy like Sunday mornin’!
