I love how sweatshirts have gotten a little makeover and are now a full-stop trend. From graphic designs to sequined embellishments, the sweatshirts in stores now are not your standard Hanes crew necks. Dress these bad boys up or down, they work everywhere (even layered under a blazer at the office).
I wore this cute “Oh My Chic” sweatshirt from ILY Couture with a pair of dark floral leggings, leather booties, and a utility jacket with leather sleeves. Nothing says your weekend wear can’t be interesting.

How did you guys like the gift guide for beauty + makeup lovers? There are some serious favorites on that list; check it out. Another round is up today.
Holiday Gift Guide: The Trendsetter.
We all know that girl who is on top of the trends; she knows what’s coming, going, and sticking around for a few seasons. (She’s also pretty hard to shop for.) Try this list on for size.
1. Kristin Cavallari ‘Layla’ Sandal ($149)
2. 3. BaubleBar Needle Ear Jackets ($32)
4. Athleta Women’s Fuse Sweatshirt ($89)
5. Nike Roshe Run Sneakers ($75)
6. BaubleBar Acrylic Signature Necklace ($56)
7. ASOS Only Check Print Blazer (was $132; on sale for $106)
8. Rebecca Minkoff ‘I Like Boys With Accents’ Cory Pouch ($55)
9. Athleta Crackle Chatarunga Tights ($89)
If you know one thing about me, it’s my ongoing love affair with ankle boots. I desperately want to add these lovely burgundy suede ankle boot/sandal hybrids (1) to my collection, and I’m pretty sure any trendsetter worth her salt would agree. Speaking of burgundy, how cute + functional is this coin purse from Rebecca Minkoff (8)? And some RM for half a Ben Franklin is a steal.
You have seen me wear this Michael Kors watch (2) over and over again; it’s one of my favorite accessories. I love the classic camel-colored leather, the big gold face, and the double strap. Works perfectly with very-now ear jackets (3) and a statement necklace that = your own signature (6). (I adore this piece!)
Sportswear as street style is totally a thing, and I have to admit I’ve been bit by the activewear bug. Whether you’re actually wearing this gear in the gym or just working athletic elements into legitimate outfits, sporty chic is everywhere. I love the look of black Nike’s (5) with a pair of skinny + cuffed jeans, and I dig a pair of workout tights with a little sparkle + sass (9). Throw on a chic sweatshirt (4) over your yoga tank, and you can run post-gym errands without looking the least bit sloppy.
Last but definitely not least, you can’t talk trends without mentioning the car coat. (I’m a fan.) This gorgeous over-sized jacket from ASOS (7) is a beauty. I love the gray plaid print and boyfriend cut combo.

Gorgeous hair and cute leggings! You look beautiful!
I would never think to wear floral leggings- especially with other stand-out pieces like a leather-sleeved jacket, but I LOVE this! So cute but still great for running around and getting stuff done on the weekend.
What a fun look with those adorable leggings!

Great look, girlfriend!
I totally agree – sweatshirts are so much more than they used to be, and I love, love, love those booties!
Aren’t printed leggings the best!? You feel like you’re wearing pajamas so pair any top with them and it’s a double bonus of comfort in my book! Love this look! My Christmas list is still in the making, but hey, I’ve got to get just the right amount of sass and fashion added to it. Ha!

I’m loving that sweatshirts are getting a little revamp in style, too. Nothing is better than when fashion and comfort collide:) These floral leggings are fantastic! I’ve been wearing my sweatshirt leggings from Target non-stop in this cold. At least they’re warm:) Hope you’re having a great day!
SO pretty!!! Love your jacket!!

I’m with you on MK watches, I have one and it’s my all time favourite piece to wear too. You really rock the floral leggings and you certainly make me want to get one too even though I know for sure I won’t look half as good in it. LOL!
