Maren Dress- Blue curated on LTK

How fun is this flirty little dress for a summer date night? I had pretty much sworn off shorter dresses but when I saw this dress, combined with the boost of self-confidence from self-tanner, I decided to go for it! Bonus-it has pockets! Wearing a size small.

Here's a look at my weekly favorites for November 22, 2024:

This Barefoot Dreams lounge set is the ultimate pick for cozy evenings at home and it's ON SALE!!

This waffle weave blanket is a favorite of the humans who sleep under it and the dogs that sleep on top of it at my house! Also 25% off right now!

I love a reversible belt and this one is a great price! If in between sizes, size up one.

I've been using this powder to set the concealer under my eyes and it's amazing. I think I like the translucent a little better than the pink but if you have really dark circles, go for the colored option that goes with your skin tone. Use code MARNIE15 to save 15%.

I almost never go to the dry cleaners anymore-I just use this at home dry cleaning kit. It's so easy!

I sourced more gifts from @Nordstrom for the women in your life who might not be huge makeup fans. I can personally attest that the navy pajamas are perfect for hot sleepers, and the makeup case is what I use every time I travel. I do have my eyes on those flannel pink pjs and I think I NEED the cashmere gloves! #NordstromPartner #giftsforher #giftsunder50

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

These gifts are all under $50 and are great to have on hand to gift to so many people. They make great hostess gifts, teacher gifts, gifts for neighbors and birthday gifts all year round! I found them all on @nordstrom's website! #NordstromPartner #hostessigfts #giftsforher #giftsunder50

Gift the gift of beauty favorites-everything here is $50 or less and all of it is from @Nordstrom! I've personally got my eye on that eyeshadow palette and the sparkling pink liquid lipstick. That combo is going to be perfect for the holidays! #NordstromPartner

I am so proud to introduce you to the @GigiNewYork x @MsGoldgirl Riley Shoulder Bag, available in a limited edition chocolate brown as well as a smooth black leather. I designed this handbag to be a classic, more structured, everyday bag that can easily be worn casually or dressed up, for work or play. The Riley is handcrafted in the USA from French leather and Italian hardware and can be worn crossbody or over the shoulder. It has a back slip exterior pocket that fits the largest iPhone model, as well as a main compartment, front compartment, a zippered pocket and an interior slip pocket under the flap. I have a 20% off discount code that works sitewide-use code MARNIE20 at checkout. It’s been a labor of love to create this handbag and I can’t wait for you to wear it!!

Sparkle isn’t just for holiday parties! I wore this outfit to cheer on our @Spurs beat the Oklahoma City Thunder! Our colors are silver and black so I put together some sparkle and shine that would also work for any date night. The jacket is lined so it’s not scratchy. The jeans are incredible but I do recommend sizing up one. They come in two inseam lengths-I’m wearing the 26 inch length.

Let’s start by admitting that humidity and my hair do not go well together. 😆 Now, if you’re looking for a fall outfit that’s actually rather casual but looks very put together and can take you to a variety of settings, look no further than the classic combo of a chambray/denim shirt and off-white corduroys. In the spring/summer, the bottoms would be white jeans but fall/winter I prefer changing it up to corduroys and off-white. Add some rich brown accessories (belt, shoes, bag), layer on the gold jewelry and throw on some oversized sunglasses and it gives me a 70’s casual chic vibe. Don’t forget the hair gel to tame the baby hairs like I did-I’ll link what I have at home but forgot to use!

Mixing neutrals can sometimes be harder than I thought. Here’s a look at my thought process when picking out shoes-not exactly rocket science but I wanted to get it right!

Wearing the top and pants in a size XS. Size UP a half size on the leopard print flats and DOWN a half size on the sneakers. Use code MARNIE15 to get 15% off the top!

I loved this 3 foot high bare branch lit tree so much I went back and bought the set with the 3 foot, 5 foot and 6 foot trees. They’re outdoor safe too!

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome

My go to button front shirt-it’s a viscose blend, wrinkle resistant, drapes beautifully and looks good tucked or untucked. I have it in a darker French blue (not pictured) in a size small.

Possibly one of the best gifts to give: my super crisp and luxurious @Printfresh Cotton Poplin pajamas! I have 4 sets of this exact pair in 4 different patterns and I wear them year round. I sized up-don’t need to do that. Get your true size. I did NOT get the petite length. I’m wearing regular length and I’m 5’4” tall. Also sharing my current favorite loafers from Amazon. They have an amazing color range (neutrals too) and they are true to size. I have an old discount code with Printfresh that may still work. Try MSGOLDGIRL for 15% off your order.

These three pieces seem basic but the quality is unbelievable! This cotton cashmere blend dolman sleeve sweater (size XS) is the perfect transition piece for this not quite fall weather. The jeans are my new favorites. They are only $50, come in three washes, and two inseam lengths. I sized up one waist size (27) and went with the 26 inch inseam. The Italian suede loafers remind me of a designer pair I tried but they are very budget friendly. They molded to my feet right out of the box! I just can’t get over the quality AND the pricing on this outfit!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKShoeCrush #LTKOver40

Loving these three pieces from the latest holiday drop from Avara x Nashville Tash. I’m wearing all three pieces in XS. It’s hard to tell in the afternoon lighting, but that last sweater is a beautiful navy blue I’ve also linked my jeans, which are my new favorites-size up one for the perfect fit. I’m wearing them in size 27, 26 inch inseam. If you’re shopping on Avara’s site, use code GOLD15 to get 15% off!

I found three holiday outfits that can take you from everyday casual to all the holiday glamorous events and more. I think the 2nd and 3rd outfits will be great year round for weddings and the pink outfit will also work for all your dressier spring time events. In all three I’m wearing Chico’s size 00 in the tops and Chico’s size 000 in the bottoms. Don’t forget the shoes-they’re the real MVP’s and they run true to size.

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.

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.

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!!
