It comes in burgundy too!!!! Now I feel like I need the entire outfit! Still can’t believe the bag is $120

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

If I hadn’t seen the $120 price tag, I wouldn’t believe it! Just added this bag to my cart—checking out now and planning to rock it all season, next year, and beyond. And my Ajo wallet will fit perfectly inside! You can grab the Ajo wallet, the most functional and stylish wallet out there, on awelewabymonica.com.

Bring out your orange, bring out your red—'tis the season to infuse plaid with bold pops of color!

PERFECT OUTFIT FOR ERRANDS

If you’re like me and like to get dressed with ease, then I KNOW you have a go-to uniform. You know the one. The look that will always make you feel put together and like you put some effort in. It varies given the season but during the colder months, I am usually reaching for a few good layers and a sturdy and comfortable shoe, like a pair of boots. I have been loving this pair from Fendi, but a good boot can be found at several price points.

Have you found the perfect pair yet? Let me know which ones you’re loving in the comments below.

Color of the moment

Whatever you call the color of the season: burgundy, black cherry, merlot, bourdeaux….it’s obvious that it’s taken the fashion industry by storm and we need to work it into our closets. Today, we’re talking all things burgundy and incorporating it in our everyday looks. I have some tips and looks for you to keep in mind when styling.

Have you already tried and fell in love with this color, like me, or have you held off? Let me know in the comments!

We took it up a notch (or three) for this episode of Best Entry Level To Top Luxury Brands, and we’re covering Hermès. It really doesn’t get much more luxurious than this and yet, they still have a great assortment of entry level items. We talk about a few different types of items for today’s episode, and one of them might shock you.

I love creating these lists for you all so let’s keep it going. Drop your favorite luxury brands in the comments that you want an entry item list for.

Happy Spending!

Love Moni, your Splurge Specialist

Must have fall outfits 2024

An incredible stay at The Global Ambassador—10 across the board! The room was stunning, luxurious, and meticulously designed. Lunch at Thea was a Mediterranean delight with Branzino that was fresh and full of flavor, while dinner at Le Âme brought French elegance with a divine Brick-Pressed Chicken Coq Au Vin. And yes, the espresso martinis were spot-on every time. Impeccable service, sexy ambiance, and unforgettable food—this is your spot! #HostedByTheGlobalAmbassador

This week’s vlog.

What's old is new again.

This is true of fashion trends, history, music, it really doesn't matter.

But it’s especially true of the iconic jewelry trend, stacking. Where you layer as many luxury bracelets you can manage while looking chic and not overdone. Some think there's a real science to getting the stack right but I think it’s such a personal stylistic expression that there isn’t one way to do it. I can’t tell you how many times I changed the way I wore my stack over the years.

What are some of the iconic pieces in your stack?

Boots to buy now!

Recent looks now on the blog

Shoutout to @jennlake X @stylecharade X @sailtosable for their new holiday collection dropping today at 10 am! This tweed dress is all about versatility. I styled it casually over jeans, but it’s just as stunning dressed up with gold pumps. Either way, you’ll definitely turn heads.

OOTD lately...
