Fall Uniform

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted on this blog, but there a few reasons I’m sharing here today and that is because we have finally entered into my favorite season, which is fall! I know, that’s a fairly basic statement, but it’s true. I am crazy about autumn and everything that comes with it, and that includes the fashion. I love layering, and wearing chunky knit sweaters and plaid prints, but this year I think I have found the perfect fall uniform and it involves…the shacket. I have a friend who didn’t know what this was, so for those of you that are confused by that word, it’s a hybrid of a shirt and jacket! They have been around for a bit but are popping back up like crazy, which made me really happy to see because they are so cozy and the easiest thing in the world to style. My go-to outfit combo for the next few months will be some version of a shacket, either plain or plaid, a white or gray t-shirt and a pair of leggings (I love this leather pair) and boots or sneakers. If you are in the mood to shop, then you’re in luck because Shopbop is having one of their amazing sales where you save 15% off orders of $200, 20% off orders of $500 and 25% off orders of $800 with the code STYLE! I already ordered myself two different fall plaid shackets and can’t wait for them to arrive. This is a quick sale and only runs through the 14th ( until 11:59pm PT) so head on over to Shopbop now! End: Thur 10/14

Shop a few of my favorite pieces from the Shopbop sale!

It’s that time again…the Shopbop sale is here!

I’ve had my eye on quite a few things from the sale this season and can’t wait until they show up at my door. I love this sale because it allows me (gives me an excuse) to gather up all the pricier items I’ve been “hearting” and finally pull the trigger, since the more you spend, the more you save!

Case in point, this leather puffer is a piece I have been drooling over for months now, but haven’t been able to justify paying full price for something that I will probably only wear for a handful of months. Cue the percentage off when you spend over $500, I might be able to talk myself into it…

Anyway, take a look at all the things in my cart and let me know what you think of my picks! The sale ends Saturday 3/9 at 4:00AM Eastern Time so you still have a few days left to shop, but things are going fast so I’d get moving if I were you. :) Happy spring and happy shopping!

xo,

Christine

Home Office Makeover: The During

My days here have been flying by and I have really been trying to focus on getting this space finished and start working on some projects I have in mind. I’m also currently expanding my styling business out here so that has been my other main focus as of late, which is why I’ve been taking a little break from outfit posts. But I thought I would give you guys a little update on the office and share where I’m at with it all!
I picked a super white paint to brighten up the space and freshen up the walls since this is where I will be doing all my filming for YouTube.
The space now has some furniture, however I am still waiting on a few things so I haven’t taken any more photos recently. But my rug should hopefully be showing up by next week since it was on backorder and I purchased this desk and this fun clothing rack. I am also working on figuring out which artwork I want to go up on the walls, but am hoping that the whole space will come together by early September!This originally was going to be my beauty closet, but instead, I am going to remove the two bottom shelves, install a horizontal pole to hang clothing and then add some drawers on the very bottom for jeans and pants etc. I also now have a large floor to ceiling shelving unit that is perfect for all my makeup and products, which I am in the process of organizing. Eeek!

Anyway, I have all sorts of plans for this space and can not wait to continue sharing them with you guys, so definitely keep an eye on this space over the next couple of weeks! You can follow my Instastories as well at @mystylepill. :) xo

Home Office Makeover: The Before

Happy Tuesday! Last week I shared some of my office inspiration with you guys, but I definitely wanted to make sure I shared what my soon-to-be-studio looked like beforehand, because I think before and after projects are so fun to watch, don’t you?

This space in particular never really had a purpose other than being used for random storage, so the flow and aesthetic didn’t have a cohesive feel to it, but I’ve made great progress on it so far, which feels great. Anyway, many more photos of the during and after to come!

Here is what I started with…

Home Office Makeover: Finding Inspiration

(via)

If you’ve been following me on my Instastories (@mystylepill), you know that I am in Seattle right now, and am currently in the process of expanding my styling business here (well, really all over), and am going to start splitting my time between here and New York. That means I need to create a functioning work space while in the PNW, so I’m starting to poke around Pinterest and Instagram to get some inspiration, and am getting really excited at the idea of creating a fresh place to create and film content!

(via)

The images above are of some offices that really inspire me and make me feel as if I can completely transform even just a wall with the right pieces and decor. I am making progress on my new work space and just finished painting the walls so now it’s time for the fun stuff! Right now I am in the market for a new desk, some rugs, shelving, art work, and plants that are fairly resilient. If you guys have any recommendations, I would love to hear your suggestions! xo

I’m Back!

Sorry for that brief hiatus last week! Between traveling to Seattle (I’m currently expanding my business out west and transitioning to becoming bicoastal), work projects and clients, my poor blog fell to the wayside. But not to worry, I am back and getting into a good groove here. Right now, my main home project I am working on is decorating my new work space and turning it into an awesome studio where I can film all my YouTube videos. I am really excited to share the process along with the before and after photos with you guys, so stay tuned for that very soon. In the mean time, I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start and that the month of August is treating you well so far. Thanks for hanging in there with me during these changing times, I so appreciate your patience, support and understanding! xo

Over The Weekend: East Hampton Edition

GET MY LOOK:

On Saturday I hopped on the train and headed out to East Hampton for the Shopbop x The Daily party with a bunch of girlfriends and it was so much fun! I was only there for about 24 hours, but it was worth every second. I’m really happy I had a relaxing weekend because I’m going to be hitting the ground running tomorrow since I leave for Seattle on Sunday and am bringing Susan with me this time! I haven’t figured out if I am going to partially sedate her, but if you guys have any insight or experiences with that, please let me know! I feel a little bittersweet about leaving New York during the last month of summer because I love weekends away like the one I just had, but I keep reminding myself that summers in Seattle are just about perfect, with sunny days and no humidity. So I’m looking forward to slowing down a bit, spending time with friends and family and soaking up the ocean air with visits to my favorite beach. Hope you guys have a great week!

Monday Reading: Link Love

This past weekend, my best friend from college came out to visit me for a long weekend, and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. I’ve been going through a lot of transition lately and sometimes you just need your people to rally around you to make it all feel better. I keep reminding myself that I need to just take one step at a time and things will fall into place the way they are intended to, but that can be hard when you are in thick of change, uncertainty and life challenges. Anyway, things are looking up and I feel so lucky to have such supportive and amazing people in my life that love and take care of me. Thank you, Eang, for coming out. I love you! xo

I hope you all had a great weekend and now for some links I am excited to share with you guys!

I think it’s safe to say I am a perfume junkie. I just added this unexpected scent to my collection.

I’m heading to Seattle for the rest of the summer and think this hat would be perfect for casual afternoons at the park.

I see these backpacks everywhere and really want this mini guy in graphite.

I put this on everything I eat now.

Three LWDs for under $100: here, here and here.

And now some fun links courtesy of my lovely intern, Keaton.

I’m obsessed with this show. It’s so juicy and dark.

This magnet is so cute and so accurate.

This brand is one of my new favorites. How pretty are their necklaces?

My new favorite coffee table book. Writers and their clothing? Sign me up.

I love this top, such a cool take on a button up.
