It's a well-documented fact that the way you dress affects the way you act. All polished up in your tailored business suit? Looking like a boss is half the battle for a killer presentation. Found sick new hi-tops for your Wednesday night adult hip-hop class? Don't hurt yourself with all that swagger. When it comes to weekends, dressing comfy is meant to put you in the right frame of mind - a chill wardrobe after all, can't help but set you up for having a chill attitude.

Whether you're entertaining your loud family for a big Thanksgiving dinner, are heading to a place where someone else is doing the cooking for you (lucky!) or have nothing but take-out and Netflix on the agenda, these stylishly comfy pieces will put you in a perfectly chill frame of mind for the long weekend ahead. 

Happy Thanksgiving, lovelies. But first, let's shop...

I'll be honest. The last two weeks have been great. I've eaten everything and done nothing. You'd think that after all of that doing nothing and eating everything that I would have been primed to jump right back into action yesterday. And yet, there I sat, staring at my computer, continuing to do nothing productive. I picked up Amy Poehler's new book (which I love, btw), went skiing with my husband in the afternoon WITHOUT the kids, and then topped off my epic productivity with a binge 3-hour watch of the new season of The Bachelor, including a 1 hour red carpet featuring Bachelor C-listers to kick off what promises to be the most romantic, shocking season yet. Oh, and I whitened my teeth. Yup. 

So, today, I'm back to work. For real this time. But instead of diving into the deep end, I'm easing my way, inch by inch, into the so-far-calm waters of 2015. My uniform for these first few weeks? This perfectly loungey outfit from Bootlegger's pretty new NOVA Collection. With its Kit & Ace vibe, it's ready for yoga or weekends or any day you're lucky enough to be at home, especially if your holidays weren't nearly as relaxing or stress-free as you'd hoped. And since all three pieces check out for a total of under $100 (remember to use code 'TOONIESHIP' for $2 shipping), I highly recommend you pick up the whole outfit.

It's all about balance. Or at the very least, attempting to restore it. Happy new year xx

Fall is here and while we all lament the fact that summer is done, I'm making my wardrobe the excuse to get excited for the new season. This outfit actually sold me on the idea of cold weather. Cable knit crewneck, tan trench, black skinnies, leopard sneakers and a perfect red crossbody - a perenially fail-proof fall combo.

Trench: Banana Republic | Textured Cable Fleece Sweater: RW&CO. | Skinnies: Theory | Leopard Sneakers: ALDO (similar) | Red Crossbody: Danier (similar) 

Okay, I'm ready for fall. Who's with me?
