Leopard Print Velvet Top: The Weekly Style Edit

If you follow me on Instagram (@lindsayrutland) and watch my stories, you probably saw the little behind the scenes of these photos. My husband and I usually meet up during the week to take all of my outfit photos because let’s be real – taking pictures when your 3 year old is around isn’t quite as simple. We have our little routine down and it usually works our perfectly. Until it’s way colder than expected and snow flurries start to come down the minute you go outside. So since that happened, please excuse my hair today haha!

Although the weather this day wasn’t doing me any favors, I am so in love with this outfit that it didn’t even matter. I picked up this leopard print velvet top during a Madewell sale recently. P.S. it’s still on sale! It’s a little more cropped than I thought it would be, so I actually returned my regular medium for a large. If you’re tall, I would suggest going up a size for the length. The perk of a cropped top is that it’s perfect to pair with high waisted jeans.

Be sure to stop by The Weekly Style Edit link up below, and head to Megan’s blog to see how she styled the cutest velvet pants! Next week we will be back with our faux leather leggings because who doesn’t love a good pair of leggings?

Tweed Coat for Winter: The Weekly Style Edit

Happy Thursday friends! It’s been a busy week around here, so I’m thankful that the weekend is almost here! Today for The Weekly Style Edit link up, Megan and I are sharing our favorite winter trends. I treated myself to this amazing tweed coat during Black Friday and after waiting a month, it finally arrived. All the heart eyes for this jacket! As silly as it may sound, this is actually my first “real” adult coat. I have plenty of winter coats, but honestly most of them are from Old Navy, and as you can guess, the quality isn’t amazing.

I have been wearing this coat as more of a “special occasion” jacket versus wearing it every day. Something about the color and fabric makes it feel too nice to wear every day. I do love that I can dress it up, or wear it with my go-to Madewell jeans and a striped tee like I did today! I’m sad to report that the green is already sold out, but there are some sizes left in a gorgeous mustard yellow. If you’re a fellow tall girl, I’d recommend buying it in tall – the sleeves are a perfect length!

Be sure to head to the bottom of the post to link up with Megan and I for The Weekly Style Edit. We would love to see some of your favorite winter trends this week!

Best of 2018: The Weekly Style Edit

Here we are, two weeks into 2019 and it’s already flying! 2018 wound up being a really amazing year for me for so many different reasons. It was probably the biggest blog year I have had so far, which makes me all the more excited to see what the new year has in store. Today for The Weekly Style Edit, Megan and I thought it would be fun to share a round up of our best posts from last year to kick off the link up for 2019!

Most Popular Posts of 2018:

Hunter Boots for The Weekly Style Edit: Hunter boots remain one of my favorite pairs of shoes to wear year-round. I had some fun with this outfit and paired them with some overalls.

Easy & Healthy DIY Valentines: I had a lot of fun working on this post with Cuties, and had some help from a cute little assistant!

Natural Makeup from Whole Foods: Whole Foods was another exciting partnership I had in 2018. Through it, I found a lot of my current favorite clean beauty brands!

The Perfect Lace Cami for The Weekly Style Edit: Probably one of my favorite outfits of the year as well! Not just on the blog, but in every life also. The sweater blazer I featured in this post was definitely in my top 5 purchases of the year.

Harper’s Mermaid Birthday Party: Harper’s 2nd birthday party remains my most popular post of all time, but her mermaid party comes in a close second. She picked the theme, and we wound up having a lot of fun putting it all together.

My Favorite Posts of 2018:

Gray Ankle Boots for The Weekly Style Edit: One of my favorite outfits from the fall! The weather was just perfect the day we took the photos for this post. You can’t beat that #basic fall foliage.

Finding the Perfect Jeans with Maurices: I had so much fun working on this post, including sharing a try-on on my IG stories. You guys know that I’m all about denim, and I really had fun styling each pair.

Monthly Beauty Hits and Misses: This series began in 2018, and I am so glad I finally gave it a go. It’s a series I have been thinking about for awhile, and now I look forward to it every month. If you aren’t familiar with it, each month I share a few beauty products I’ve tried that are either a hit or a miss for me. I shared my final one of 2018 earlier this week!

Black Distressed Overalls: I actually wore these overalls a few times throughout 2018 (most recently here). They are surprisingly versatile, and can definitely be worn no matter what season it is.

Best of 2018 – A Few More Highlights:

Olay! You guys, I can’t even. I know I have talked about this before on IG, but being able to work with Olay again in 2018-2019 is a dream. A few of my favorite posts/products I’ve shared are: their clay stick masks for easy self-care and the Whip SPF to help minimize your beauty bag for travel.

Speaking of travel, I had the amazing opportunity to partner with the Mexico Tourism board for my first ever press trip to Guadalajara. I honestly was super hesitant to go at first, but thanks to some convincing from my husband I went. It was a super short trip, and probably one of the coolest experiences ever!

Free People Dress for the Holidays: The Weekly Style Edit

The last Thursday before Christmas! Are you guys ready? I finally finished all of my wrapping yesterday, so I am officially ready to celebrate! Christmas has always been my favorite holiday and I’m excited to see what next week has in store. I have all of my holiday outfits planned out for the next few days, and you know this dress made the cut.

I am loving this Free People dress for the holidays! It actually comes in red as well, which is also gorgeous, but there is something about a classic black and white print that I love. I actually feel like this dress could be worn all year long! It can be dressed up or down, and is also really easy to layer with. In case you were wondering I totally froze while taking this photos, but had to share the pretty details of the dress. The open back is such an unexpected surprise, and there are buttons along each side.

Since today is all about holiday style, be sure to show Megan from The Fashionista Momma some love and see what she is wearing for the holidays! We would also love for you to share your own holiday style for The Weekly Style Edit link up below! Merry Christmas friends! XO

Wearing:

Free People Dress c/o Macy’s (on MAJOR sale – 60% off!)

Leopard Ankle Boots: The Weekly Style Edit

I have a confession to make… I can’t stop wearing these leopard ankle boots. A few weeks ago I took a poll on my Instastories on whether or not I should get this pair. Most people said to go for it and I’m so glad I did! My husband told me that I look like I’m a member of an 80’s rock band with these boots aka he’s not a big fan. I am a big fan though and that’s really all that matters right?

Other than the leopard boots, I also ordered this sequin top on Black Friday. I thought it would be perfect for the holidays! I wound up ordering a size up, which honestly was not the best idea. For whatever reason, I am so lazy when it comes to returning things. I usually wind up just keeping something even if it’s a little big rather than exchanging it. Long story short, I would recommend getting your usual size in this top. Even though it’s a little cropped, it’s definitely boxy and roomy.

Today is link up day, so be sure to check out how Megan from The Fashionista Momma styled leopard today too! We would love for you to add a link for The Weekly Style Edit to your favorite outfit from the week below. Also, I’ll be sharing my gift guide for grandparents tomorrow, so don’t forget to stop by. You can check out my gift guide for her (aka me) here.

Wearing:

H&M Sequin Top

Oversized Free People Sweater: The Weekly Style Edit

The first Thursday in December! You guy we are officially in the last month of the year – WHAT! To be honest, 2018 was a really great year for me, and I’m a little sad to see it go. But more on that another time because I have a lot of fun things to get to today. First let’s talk about this gorgeous oversized Free People sweater! The Weekly Style Edit is all about the sweaters today. This one is so cozy and will make the perfect statement for any winter or holiday outfit. I got my usual size medium in it, but would recommend sizing down one size if you don’t want it as oversized as mine is.

On another note, I am excited to announce that today I am kicking off my first annual 12 days of giveaways! My girl Megan from The Fashionista Momma is joining me for day 1, and we are giving away some amazing Physican’s Formula gift sets to two lucky winners. After you link up, be sure to head to the very bottom of the post to enter via the Rafflecopter!
