  • Ivory Ella: Support the Elephants

    Long Sleeve Shirt: Ivory Ella (also here); Leggings: Lululemon; Shoes: Uggs Slippers in Chestnut My husband jokes with me because I have a lot of clothes from when I was in high school. He especially joked with me about this purchase because I am pretty sure Ivory Ella is geared toward middle school age, maybe high school age, but their clothing is so comfortable! And they are excellent for lounging around the house. I cannot give enough compliments about this brand. I love the pocket design and the softness. AND a percentage of the proceeds go to saving elephants worldwide. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me at carissa_cruse)

  • Acta Wear: Crop Sweatshirt

    Sweatshirt: Acta Daily Crop Sweater; Top: Stitch Fix Cami; Leggings: Lululemon Align Leggings When I am home, I seem to live in loungewear exclusively. This is my first crop sweatshirt, and I am loving it! This one in particular is unbelievably soft, and black is my go-to color. I love the monochromatic colors in this look too. Pair with a form fitting cami or show off that midriff! P.S. Use code LEMONTWIST for 15% off. And with each purchase, you can donate to a cause of your choice. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet?

  • Hillflint Sweatshirts Do NOT Disappoint

    Sweatshirt: Hillflint Georgetown Mascot (another option); Shorts: Old Navy Scalloped Shorts; Shoes: Tory Burch Thin Flip Flop I love everything about this Hillflint sweatshirt, mostly the mascot design patch though! It is probably the highest quality sweatshirt I own too, made of Cotton French Terry. A sweatshirt with shorts is the perfect pair for our transitional weather right now. P.S. Hillflint sells sweatshirts for many schools and in so many designs, even some vintage looks. There is no better way to sport your alma mater! XOXO Do you feel influenced yet?

  • Casual Polka Dots

    Top: Alice & Olivia (similar option); Bottoms: Joe’s Jeans Hi Honey Skinny Ankle or Here; Headband: Stoney Clover Lane (similar option) I love this crop top! However, I always wear it so that no midriff shows. And these jeans are just high-waisted enough to keep me covered yet let me show off those polka dots! XOXO Do you feel influenced yet?
