timeless with movado

Sweater: Kenzo; Shirt: Equipment; Skirt: Zara (similar style here); Shoes: Saint Laurent (love this pair); Bag: Proenza Schouler; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban; Watch: Movado

As I get older (and I say this fondly), I'm starting to really streamline what pieces I want to surround myself with and wear on a daily basis. Where I once used to err on the side of more options, I find myself gravitating back toward a steady (and small) lineup of classics -- a timeless watch being one of them. What I love about this particular Movado watch is how seamlessly it can be incorporated into any outfit, which is particularly key for the holiday season when there are a slew of parties, cocktail hours and family get togethers, sometimes back to back. Plus, the smaller face and more heritage design is a nice contrast to my typical masculine watch go-to. I look forward to pairing it with a stack of bracelets for more impact, and even letting it stand alone as more of a statement piece.

live your adventure {eddie bauer classics}

Turtleneck // Striped shirt // Pants all via Eddie Bauer; Shoes: Saint Laurent; Bag: Proenza Schouler; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban; Lips: Stila "Beso"

There's something about Thanksgiving break that's always a bit harder than other holidays to return back to reality from. It's just long enough to be too long for a long weekend and too short to really be considered a 'break' -- it's like once you've hit your groove sleeping in, eating too much and shopping online sales in your pajamas -- BOOM -- Monday hits. And it's back to the grind, folks.

But!

I have a mini reason to celebrate this week. A few of my blogger pals are joining me at a little soirée Eddie Bauer is hosting this Wednesday where we'll be toasting their new flagship store digs with a little bubbly and tunes to shake off those post-turkey day blues. More to come on that soon.

As for this outfit? I have to admit, I practically lived in slightly different variations of this get up all weekend and loved how comfortably pulled together I felt the entire time. It's this fine balance that's really one of the main reasons I was excited to style a few of the Eddie Bauer winter pieces in the first place. Since moving to San Francisco, I've fallen in love with this incredible tango of city life and nature. Sweeping ocean views, gigantic Redwood trees, Muir Woods, Highway 1 coastlines, wine country -- they're all a short drive away from the city -- and I always get swept away by the idea of packing my bags randomly on a Friday evening after work and jetting off down the coast, On the Road style for a mini adventure. Who knows, maybe it's in the cards for this Friday? And I think I know exactly what I'll wear...

old world {a moveable feast}

Dress: Robert Rodriguez (similar style here); Shoes: Henri Lepore Dezert; Bag: Chanel; Sunglasses: Target; Necklace: BaubleBar

One of the things I loved most about our trip at sea was the excuse to dress up every night. There's something undeniably old world and romantic about boarding a ship armed with some of your finest evening attire, and nothing but a slew of dinner plans and cocktail parties ahead. And trust me, it was a moveable feast in every meaning of the phrase. Each evening, we enjoyed a new restaurant on board, taste testing our way through every cuisine imaginable -- from hearty steaks to incredibly fresh lobster and crab -- and everything in between. 

Our last evening aboard, we enjoyed a private dinner at the Chef's Table, where the Executive Chef Antonio Cereda, prepared each dish for us practically before our eyes. While each dish outdid the one before it, I have to admit, the seafood risotto remains my ultimate weakness.

postcards from the caribbean {sailing away with princess cruises}

As I mentioned in my last travel installment with Princess Cruises, I'm a rookie when it comes to cruises. I think I've likely always felt reluctant to try them because I tend to get cabin fever pretty easily, constantly looking for the next thing to jump to while on vacation. What I didn't realize was just how much activity can be packed into a 5-day cruise. While our on board activities were a constant shuffle of pool lounging, drinking and catching the World Series while it was on (all of which was exactly the kind of R&R I needed), we managed to fit into several days of excursions, stopping off first at Grand Cayman (otherwise known as Sting Ray City) and then Cozumel, Mexico (for some Mayan ruin hikes).

As someone who always has her eye on the next destination, I loved the idea of waking up each morning in a different port, with a new adventure ahead of us. Here are a few snaps from our time on and off shore -- hope you enjoy!

To say we were spoiled by so many great meals and treats from the Princess Cruise team would be an understatement. More to come on our on board meals in an upcoming post.

Once I got the whole Steve Irwin story out of my head, I warmed up to the idea of holding one of these (giant) guys. And I may have even kissed one (apparently it brings 7 years good luck?). 

The beautiful thing about vacation? It's always Marg o' clock.

Stay tuned for another cruise installment tomorrow, featuring the outfit above.

paint it black {friday}

There's nothing I love more than online Black Friday sales, especially when you can enjoy them in bed, in pajamas, with a slice of leftover pumpkin pie nearby. One of my new favorite online haunts this year has been The Dreslyn, mainly because I'm never disappointed by their selection of designers (UM, have you seen that IRO jacket above?) but also because their Black Friday sale takes the cake this year. Brace yourself: 20% off site-wide, on both full price and sale items. Just be sure to use the code BLACKFRIDAY at checkout. 

Happy hunting!

adored {winter is coming}

Upon moving to the Bay Area, there were a lot of things I immediately fell in love with. Unbeatable proximity to wine country? Check. An amazing baseball team? Got it. An incredible restaurant scene? Yeah, all over it. And while I normally don't complain about the weather here (because it's hard to beat 65 degree weather year round), I have to admit, there's something about having seasons that I miss a lot these days, particularly the transition from fall to winter. 

Occasionally though, we have these amazing stints of rainy days that let up for brief sporadic sun breaks, only to start pouring again soon after. It's on days like that, I love to curl up in bed with a few good books, several magazines and the newspaper and simply listen to the rain fall outside. Of course, the only uniform suitable for said activity involves a slew of ever rotating oversized sweaters (the kind that slouch perfectly off your shoulder) and barely there delicate undergarments (because who doesn't love the idea of something sexy hiding under layers upon layers of blankets and knits?).

For this year's rotation, I was recently introduced to the brand Adore Me and was immediately drawn to their selection of bralettes (a personal weakness of mine). This ice blue set has been on repeat lately and I love how I can layer it with different pieces for a subtly sexy peek-a-boo effect. If you're looking to stock up your rotation of sweet nothings, the folks at Adore Me are offering one reader a set of their choosing. Simply enter your email address and favorite set below for a chance to win!

Because sometimes on Fridays, you just gotta ditch the heels and run out the door in kicks. Am I right?

Happy (almost) weekend, everyone!

i'll have what she's having {statement basics}

Everlane sleeveless chunky knit sweater // Tibi mules // Sophie Hulme bag // Alexandra Von Furstenberg treasure box // Topshop oxford dress // Everlane chunky knit cardigan // Topshop pleated panel dress // Shlimp & Ulrich necklace // Marc by Marc Jacobs strappy heels // Everlane Petra bag

There are a few holiday gift guides in the works over here at TTT HQ, and without fail, I already have a run over list of items I've bookmarked for myself. And really, I blame Everlane and their winter catalog. It arrived at my apartment yesterday and within a matter of minutes, I had already added most of their chunky knit collection to my cart, starting with that sleeveless number up top. Killing. It. Oh, and that Shlimp & Ulrich necklace? Have I mentioned I've been particularly good this year? (hint, hint) ;)
