The Favorite Luxe Essentials … curated on LTK

Today’s video is a try on haul from @gibsonlook. They increased my discount code to 15% off this week with code MARNIE15. For sizing, I tend to wear an XS in almost everything from this brand. Note on the blazers-in the video I talk about petite sizing, which I don’t think is still available, but this week I was able to try on just a regular blazer but one size down and the arm length and sizing was perfect. So, if you need a petite fit on their blazers, I recommend sizing down one. casualoutfits falloutfits affordablefashion everydaystyle fallfashion jeans falldress LTKFindsUnder100 LTKOver40

The Weekly Favorites for November 8, 2024:

1. Love the look of a Julie Vos necklace but wanted to see how much I'd wear it before I bought one, so I found this under $20 option and I love it!

2. These classic ankle boots with a kitten heel have a higher shaft so they can work well with cropped pants too. Runs true to size.

3. This boar bristle brush is the key to my curls holding on for more than 2 days.

4. If you love butter on toast, you need this no tech, old school way to keep your butter spreadable!

5. My new favorite SPF-gives so much glow and works great under my foundation.

Statement earrings can turn a basic outfit into something spectacular. And they all come in that beautiful yellow box!

I love that these pieces are useful AND pretty! We replaced all of our plastic utensils with wooden, metal and one silicone piece, added a butter crock and added my very first (but definitely not last) Mackenzie Childs piece!

What do we think? Tucked in or not? There’s no wrong answer with this under $15 find. It’s one of the softest shirts I’ve found, has a flattering neckline and comes in so many options. I bought two more in solid colors. You can wear it over leggings, with jeans, pants, as loungewear with joggers…the options are there! I’d say either way, Rowdy looks happy!

Tank top, jeans and a sweater but make it look dressed up. If I had a fall uniform, this would be it! Best part is that it’s COMFORTABLE! Once the weather gets cold, I’ll swap out the slingbacks for a higher shaft ankle boot which I’ve also linked (and bought in two colors)!

My husband and I were invited to dinner at Isidore’s, the newest restaurant at the Pullman Market at the Pearl. What we experienced was a feast for the eyes and the mouth. Every course was so visually exquisite, and of course they all tasted divine. Every detail was thought out-down to the cutlery, the fluting on the water pitchers, the music, the pacing of the courses. In my experience, when dining at a restaurant with this level of talent, the staff can be a little pretentious but we were warmly greeted from the moment we walked in the door and every single member of the team treated us like old friends, even calling out goodbyes from the kitchen when we left. If you’re in San Antonio, you need to experience this for yourselves!

I’m wearing a heavier weight linen blend dress in fall colors with suede boots to bridge the weird not quite fall weather we’re still experiencing in San Antonio. I added some tinted lotion to my legs since I quit fake tanning for the season. Everything is linked below!

The weather has finally turned and I can start wearing my fall/winter uniform: jeans and a top. This is a whole outfit of nothing new, just comfy faves to wear to the 9th Annual Texas Kosher BBQ contest held by my synagogue. Imagine spending an afternoon sampling all the barbecue brisket, chicken, and salmon you can eat, then voting on which one you think was the best. Not a bad way to pass a Sunday afternoon! Our son, Shane, is usually on a golf course or watching football on a Sunday afternoon but even he couldn’t pass this opportunity up!

Back to the outfit…I love this top so much I bought it in 5 colors. Runs true to size, it’s an easy alternative to a tee shirt. Same material, but a little more polished with the collar and half placket of buttons. The shoes are a more recent find and so comfortable. They’re a budget friendly version of Rothy’s that I found on Amazon and are also true to size.

I’m in my washable silk era! This silk puff sleeve top comes in so many colors, layers well under cardigans and blazers AND you can throw it in the washing machine! Runs TTS-wearing XS. These jeans are great for petite ladies. They’re meant to be cropped but on a 5’4” frame (or shorter) they’re the perfect length, and if you need to hem some more, just take a scissors to the raw hem. They run TTS as well-wearing a size 26. The shoes have been a favorite since the day I put them on my feet in late September. They also run TTS and possibly a top find for 2024.

Keeping it simple and make up free for a visit to the hairdresser! This exact sweatshirt is no longer available, but if you’re looking for a great source for graphic tees/shirts, check out @maurices. That’s where I got this sweatshirt plus a whole bunch of other tees with various themes-not just Americana. My tencel joggers are a yearly best seller and I have them in 4 colors-all in size XS regular length

When I’m feeling stressed, there’s nothing like getting out of the house and walking up and down the aisles of @Walmart. This isn’t sponsored, it’s just what I do. My husband and I made a date night out of it-first we hit our favorite Walmart store up in Spring Branch, looked at the new holiday releases, MAYBE ended up buying a *few* things, wandered over to the women’s section and added a few more things to the cart, grabbed dinner and watched some Netflix. I had to share some of the cute decor and gift ideas that I saw-I grabbed the glitter candle and matches as well as that roll of decorative burlap. Now I want to place an order for just a couple (ha!) more things that they have online. I’ve linked the pieces I’m most excited about as well as my outfit. Wearing an XS in the top and pants, sized down ½ size in the loafers. Keep Calm and Keep Shopping!!

These gift ideas work for so many holiday situations-stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, gifts for friends, gifts for men, gifts for a Favorite Things party, even as gifts for yourself!! Everything is around $30 or well under.

Give me all the silver and black-so I can cheer on our San Antonio Spurs to a win over the Timberwolves! These three pieces happen to be from a holiday collection but they’re perfect for game nights too! Little details you might not see from the photos: the faux leather jacket has a ruffle peplum hem, the sequin shirt is a short sleeve tee and the jeans have the tiniest black crystals scattered throughout the fabric. I’m wearing the jacket and tee in an XS and the jeans in a 2 regular length. I wanted them in the short but they weren’t available so I just cuffed them-I may just cut the hem later! Added some silver accessories and I was all set to go! Date night at the Frost Bank Center!

I’m always partial to wearing a dress for Thanksgiving. 1-it’s a holiday worth getting a little dressed up for. 2-we tend to go to someone else’s home or our club and it seems more respectful. 3-it’s an easy one and done outfit. 4-As long as it’s not fitted, you don’t have to worry about that “pants too tight” feeling after an extra helping of sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie!!

I’m wearing this dress in a size small and it’s beautiful for any fall occasion! Use code MARNIE15 to get 15% off!

2. Hair Styling Product
-this has literally changed my hair-it’s the best product for smoothing, softening and taming my frizzy wavy hair

3. This deconstructed blazer is made of a sweatshirt like material and can also work as a pea coat for the fall. I have size small and size XS and prefer the oversized fit of the small.

4. This short sleeve polo collared sweater comes in neutrals, pastels, and brights and is a great bridge for summer to fall looks. I have it in an XS.

5. I LOVE this bow knit pointed toe loafers. They have support in the insole, are true to size and are machine washable.

6. This collared knit shirt feels like a t-shirt and has a few functional buttons at the top. I wear it in a size small and have it in 5 colors.

Just placed this huge order on Walmart-so huge that this isn’t even all my picks! It’s a nice mix of dressy casual and everyday casual-and I ordered everything in a size XS. Can’t wait for it all to arrive, unbox and style!

When your date night location includes live music and goats…you go casual! We’re still kind of in between seasons here, so I went with light knit layers-a sweater tank and a knit double zip cardigan that’s a mesh fabrication. My booties are almost a hybrid between a chelsea and Western style but all comfort. My 25% off discount code for my earrings has been extended through the 31st-use code MARNIE25. This outfit works for more than date night-it’s a great everyday fall casual outfit. The tank also comes in several other color combos-also ordered it in navy with orange trim to cheer on my Illini!

We order our weekly groceries online from @walmart, but we were near Whole Foods and decided to run in and take a look around…two full grocery bags later we may have bought a “few” things. 😆 They definitely have quite a selection of ready to eat type meals that are great for an empty-nester couple who don’t necessarily want to cook every night! Send me your recommendations from @wholefoods if you have a similar situation!

This outfit is my “I want to wear a sweater because it’s late October but it’s also 85° outside”. I was actually freezing inside the grocery store but it’s perfect for the beautiful faux fall weather we’re having in San Antonio this week! I am wearing a tank under the sweater because the armholes are pretty deep-everything is linked!

Sizing:
Sweater vest & tank-small
Jeans-size 4

This outfit was perfect for a concert inside an arena, and the shoes were absolutely comfortable enough for all the walking, standing and dancing that ensued! Wearing the top and jeans in an XS, shoes run true to size. Use code MARNIE15 to save 15% on the top and MARNIE25 to get 25% off the earrings until Oct. 29th.

Seeing two of my favorite all time artists perform in one night was a dream come true! Seeing them from the 9th row was INTENSE! We went to see Sting and Billy Joel with 70,000 of our closest friends last night and I’m still hearing the music in my head. It was like reliving the soundtrack of my adolescence!

Wearing the top in an XS (the bodice is a simple knit and very comfy), the jeans in an XS and the shoes run TTS. The shoes are even more comfortable than I realized-we walked for 30 minutes to get to our Uber pick up spot and my feet didn’t hurt! *Use code MARNIE15 to get 15% off my top!

This week’s favorites:

1. I’m so excited for this latest release from Victoria Emerson in
collaboration with my dear friends
Kelli & Christina (Mommies Makeup and Moscato). They’re selling out fast-grab this stack for $34 while you can!

2. I've been looking for more statement necklaces and this one comes in with a subtle statement at $13!! It looks WAY more expensive! I got a lot of compliments on it in person, too!

3. I ordered these grey corduroy pants with silver glitter from Talbots and they are SO pretty! Perfect for any casual holiday events you may have coming up-and they also come in black. I got them in a size 2 petite.

4. This product seems like a re-formulation or relaunch of my favorite YSL lip product from years ago. I bought it in the shade Nude Lavalier and now I need at least one more color. Line and fill in your lips with your favorite lip pencil, layer this product on top, and a bit of gloss and you'll have lip color all day long!

5. This has been the biggest hit in my house! Both dogs love their new toy AND it's vet recommended. It keeps Rowdy busy for at least an hour and it's also quiet!!

When you get invited to the opening of a @susiecakes location in your town, you go! I had the pleasure of not only being able to bring my son along to a “work event”, but I also got to meet the actual Susie! She was absolutely lovely and we found out we had a lot in common-we grew up about 5 minutes away from each other! The cakes were spectacular. The coconut was my husband and son’s favorite but I’m a vanilla girl through and through and their vanilla cake was incredible. Note to my husband-order my birthday cake from here!! 🎂

I’ve shared this dress before-it’s part of @shop_avara’s pre-fall collection and since it’s not really fall yet here it was perfect. Lots of fall colors but it’s still short sleeved. It has pockets and zips up the back. Runs TTS-wearing it in XS.

Looks like a nice, overcast fall day, right? Sadly, we’re still knocking on almost 90° here in south central Texas. I am dying to get into my cozy fall clothes, but until then, cozy summer clothes it is! I’m on my way for my first follow up eye appointment since I stopped treatment for uveitis. Fingers crossed it’s still looking good-literally!

Sizing details:
Tee-small
Pants-XS
Shoes-True to Size (TTS)

I’m trying to share not just my daily outfits, but what I did while wearing them. Yesterday my husband and I went to vote (early voting started on Monday in Texas) and we spent about an hour waiting in line, chatting with other voters, enjoying the fall weather, voting, then hiking through a drainage culvert and up a hill to get back to our car. Tip for my fellow Americans: wear comfortable shoes and a crossbody bag when you hit the polls this year! My mesh shoes worked out great (size up ½ size) and I’m glad I had the strap for this bag with me so I could have my hands free. I saw a lot of people also brought books with them to pass the time-so leave your book recommendations in the comments too!

Be prepared for all of your holiday gatherings (especially the everyday, casual ones) with sweaters from @talbotsofficial! All of these will pair well with a pair of jeans, velvet pants, corduroys or something with sparkle, but they all work for the whole holiday season! #ad #talbots #talbotshaul

Here are the best sellers from September 2024. I’ve included the top 10 overall and then the top 5 in beauty, accessories, lifestyle and clothing that isn’t from Walmart and Amazon.

I love the bow front trend but most of these tops gape open in between the bows, which is not a look I love. This one has snaps in between each bow-no gaping! It comes in lots of other color options too. I’m wearing the top in a small (it’s a bit roomy on me) and the jeans in size 27 short.
