I am SUCH a sucker for a good monochromatic look, especially a black one. You can throw a few similar colored pieces on and look perfectly put together in an instant. Add some depth to the outfit by pairing some similar shades instead of doing a complete, one color look. Whites (cream and ivory) is one example. A few different shades of beige or gray is another good idea. The look does best with neutrals, but if you're really feeling daring, go for the red look above. Another great option when attempting this look is to pair some sort of statement clutch, shoes or jewelry with your outfit to give it a little something extra - not that this look is boring in the least bit. The best part? It really doesn't take too much brain power to pull a monochromatic look together, and yet you'll still look amazing. You really can't go wrong!

I've been getting some questions about some of the things I've posted on Instagram lately, so I thought I'd do a post with all the links. Also, if you would like to shop my Instagram images easily, all you have to do is sign up at LiketoKnow.it. Then when you like an image with a LiketoKnow.it link, you get all the details emailed straight to your inbox! Super simple right?
Enjoy your weekend!
I've been searching for gold heels forever, and I found these beauties just in time for NYE. Even better? They were under $80 & they come in a ton of amazing colors.
A few of my favorite things: Joie perfume, Dior lip balm, Josie Maran hand lotion, and Julie Vos initial bracelet.
The most amazing candle... EVER. I go through one of these every month, at least.
The best sale find of the month - J.Crew d'orsay flats.
It's like Christmas morning every time I get Sephora goodies in the mail. This Caudalie oil is the most amazing face (and body) oil. I use it on a daily basis. The Kate Sommerville ExfoliKate is maybe the best exfoliator I've ever tried - It's super pricey, but trust me, it's worth it.
Stuart Weitzman Lowland boots summed up in one word: incredible. Buy them (or the similar, less expensive version).
My Michele watch was a recent birthday gift. It's two toned (gold and silver), so it matches everything! The coordinates bracelet has the coordinates of my home. A great gift idea for Valentine's day coming up...
This lotion smells like heaven, and works wonders on dry hands also.
In the Home: Claw Foot Tubs
All I want in life is a claw foot tub. But really, I'm absolutely serious. Preferably one with gold accents, like in photos 1 or 6. There is just something so relaxing about taking a warm bath at the end of a long day, and what's better than being in a huge, old fashioned tub? The are so much more unique than just any old tub, and I love how they stand out on their own in a large room - they don't need to be in a corner or connected to anything else. Someday, when I have that big huge bathroom I've always wanted, there will be one of these bathtubs.
