2014 Music Mashup (Warning: may cause dancing)

Ohh 2014, what a year! I’ll write up a sappier New Year’s post later on today (obvi), but I wanted to get this mashup up as you start your day. I heard this a few weeks back and I am obsessed! We had some pretty fun/catchy songs top the charts this year and this DJ compiled them all into one incredible song! Oh yes, and the talent continues because they made a video, too. Now, that’s some serious patience and concentration to create this mix!

So, enjoy as you get ready for your day or perhaps later on tonight as your girlfriends trickle in and you pop open that first bottle of champagne to ring in the New Year!

How gorgeous is this maxi dress & sweater combo in such a beautiful cream color? I love how delicate and feminine the whole look is, not to mention so comfortable! No restricting waistline, I don’t have to worry about shaving my legs…Oh, have I said too much? I really love it paired with dainty jewels like this amazing Giles & Brother Cuff in rose gold (what a sweet surprise gift from one of my best friends this Christmas!) and my opal teardrop ring.

During my trip to Chicago I posted an Instagram of a Nordstrom bag with a mystery purchase inside – a new Brahmin bag! I have been in love with Brahmin goods for some time now and finally found the perfect bag to fit my style. They are such durable purses and last forever, so perhaps if I treat it well I can pass it down one day! The rich brown colors look so lovely paired with head to toe cream and minimalist accessories.

Loving this look for winter? Shop my finds below! I pulled a few similar styles of my shoes and sweater, unfortunately the turtleneck I am wearing in the photos is no longer available at Anthropologie.com – which is a shame because it was on sale! (Fear not, though, Forever21 has some cute ones, and if you’re dying for an Anthro purchase they still have a ton of adorable items on sale now!).
