Good morning! Today I found a really good sale, so I'll get right into it! This retailer is taking 30% off full priced inventory with code READYTOPARTY. They just came out with a bunch of great items for holiday parties and special occasion wear. Each Christmas I end up wearing a piece from this retailer because they're so beautiful and I feel amazing in them! The quality is hard to beat too. I'm especially loving this sweater that's under $60. 

Have a great day! Thanks for reading. 

Saturday Deals - Kate Spade 30% Sale with Code FRIENDS

It's the weekend, PTL! I don't know about you, but I get my best sleep on Friday nights. It seems that my body just knows it needs it's best rest on Fridays to conquer the weekend :) This morning I woke up to a great sale happening  - Kate Spade is taking 30% off a lot of their staple items that would make perfect gifts for your friend, sister or mom! I love that Kate Spade has so many great quality items that last and never go out of style. This is a great time to stock up on holiday dresses, handbags or tech accessories! 

My favorite is probably the Hayes Street Sam bag - it comes in five different colors including this gorgeous red color, and its under $250 with code FRIENDS. Also, if you have a daughter, sister or friend in college, this bag would make a great gift and it's only $66.50 with the code. 

I hope you all have a great weekend! See you Monday. 

Cherry Red & 2016 Updates..

Hello...it's me...

Ok just kidding! But really, it's been awhile since I've blogged and I missed you all too much!! 

I wish I could say my absence was because I needed a "creative break" or that I was on some exciting adventure, but in all reality, time just got away from me. After a few months of devoting my time on other projects and a quick vacation to Scottsdale last month, I've decided it's time to get back to doing things I love, like working out again (hello 5am spin class) and sharing my favorite things to all of my internet friends! :) 

Now that I'm back into the blogging mode, I'm realizing that I most likely won't be posting everyday like I used to! I just wanted to be so honest with you all about that! So if you start to notice gaps between posts, forgive me! And if you're really curious, you can always follow my daily happenings on my Instagram! 

Cardigan: J.Crew | Button down: LOFT | Denim: 7FAM | Flats: Yosi Samra | Bag: Tory Burch | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Necklace: BaubleBar  | Earrings: Charming Charlies | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: Juicy Couture  | Lipstick: MAC - Patisserie 

Ok, on to this look...now that it's feeling like spring, I definitely gravitate towards bright colors and lighter layers! This sweater is sooooo bright and it has really cute gold buttons that look great with my gold jewelry! I feel like the photos don't show how bright the color is, but it's a very pretty cherry red. I love wearing it with a crisp white button down, but you could definitely wear a simple tank underneath or with a sheath dress for the office! 

Also, these flats have seen a LOT of action lately, so much so that I think I need to buy another pair before they wear out! They're really comfortable to wear all day, and they're foldable which makes them super easy to travel with. They come in a pouch, and I keep them stashed in my purse for when I'm running around. 

Thanks so much for reading! Who's watching the Bachelor tonight?! Me me me!! 

Classy Houndstooth Poncho...

Poncho: Forever 21 | Sweater: Forever 21 | Denim: 7FAM | Booties: old, similar | Bag: Tory Burch | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Necklace: J.Crew Factory | Watch: Michael Kors | Lipstick: Bobbi Brown - Soft Rose

When I was a young girl, my mom bought me a beautiful houndstooth coat to wear to nice functions. It was a gorgeous coat, and as a rambunctious pony-tailed girl who only wanted to play soccer, I think it was my first, undeserved taste of classic style (the amount of ranch dressing that was spilled on that coat was pitiful). Although I was the opposite of a budding micro-fashionista, I did develop a love for houndstooth. 

Fast forward 15 years...

Ok so I still want to dress in soccer shorts 80% of the time, however this poncho feels so much like a blanket, it's that comfortable (and flattering!).  It's perfect for those days where you just want to curl up in a blanket, but this poncho lets you do that without having to play hooky! I love that the print isn't too tight, so the pattern isn't harsh looking. I wore this to work the other day with a black long sleeve tee, ponte pants and these bow flats, and it was a comfy but classy work look.  

On another note - it's become clear to me that I need a black handbag. Seriously, how have I gone this long without one?? If you have any handbags that you love and want to share, please let me know! I'm thinking slightly smaller in size than my Tory Burch tote. 

Have a great day! xoxo

Favorite Versatile Pieces...

If you're a longtime follower of this blog, you've probably noticed that I like to rotate items in my closet every season. Like every 23 year old, I live on a budget, so it's important for me to invest in pieces that I can re-wear in different ways! Today I'm excited to share 8 different ways I re-wear some of my most favorite, versatile pieces in my closet!

   ^^^sneak peak of next week's outfit!  

Item #1: Quality Denim 

Every girl NEEDS a pair of quality denim jeans because it's a sure thing that you'll wear them over and over again. Jeans are so versatile to wear; they can be dressed down to run errands or they can be dressed up with a blazer for the office (like above!). I'm a firm believer that if you invest in one nice pair of flattering jeans, you'll find that's the only pair you'll need. I love this pair that I bought during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale because they fit true to size and they hug my figure without losing shape like a "jegging" would. They are a true denim pant in every aspect. 

Favorite denim brands: Paige, 7FAM, J Brand

Item #2: Floppy Hat

Floppy hats are my new favorite piece for fall - they add an instant chic-factor to almost any outfit! I love wearing mine while wrapped up in slouchy sweaters and turtlenecks. They definitely give off a 70's vibe that's very "in" this season! What's even better is the price point for my hat - $28! There are a ton of hat options at affordable price points, and they are easy to find at your local department store.

Item #3: Investment Bag

So I went back and forth for 2 years before I decided to pull the trigger on this bag. I do not regret this purchase one bit! This bag is so superior to all the other bags I've ever owned. The leather is so soft and it's roomy enough for a wallet, laptop, cell phone, coin purse, etc. It was definitely an investment that I saved up for, but I know it's something that I will carry for years to come. If it's been on your wish lists for months (or in my case, years) and you can swing it, you will not regret investing in one of these bags!

Favorite designer bag brands: Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Michael Kors

Item #4: Animal Print Pumps 

You'd be surprised, but I wear these pumps more often than not! To me, animal print pieces can be considered a neutral in your closet, so I tend to wear these pumps with solid color dresses for special occasions, black ponte pants for at work and with my favorite jeans for a fun night out with friends. They are seriously beautiful and not to mention versatile!

That Fall Feeling...

Jacket: Forever 21 (under $50!) | Dress: J.Crew (no longer available), similar | Pumps: J.Crew Factory | Bag: Marc Jacobs (no longer available), similar under $100 | Hat: Nordstrom (under $30!) | Necklace: Kate Spade | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelets: Alex and Ani, J.Crew Factory | Ring: Madewell | Earrings: Nordstrom 

A little chill is in the air, and I couldn't be happier about it! Light jackets, scarves and floppy hats are all on my radar for the upcoming fall months, and why not add a few of them into the same outfit?? This jacket from Forever 21 looks so chic and is at a great price point. The blush shade is also one of my favorites, and it pairs nicely with maroon (another perfect fall color!). Also if you couldn't tell, the day these photos were taken it was super windy out, and my hat from Nordstrom definitely helped keep the hair out of my face! I'm finding more and more reasons to wear it now that fall is approaching! :)

What are your go-to fall pieces? Thanks for reading!

Palm Trees and Ivory...

Tee: Halogen | Skirt: J.Crew Factory, love this option for fall | Pumps: J.Crew Factory | Clutch: Lilly Pulitzer c/o | Sunnies: Madewell | Necklace: Kate Spade | Bracelets: Kate Spade, Alex and Ani, J.Crew Factory | Watch: Michael Kors | Lips: Lipstick - MAC Creme Cup, Lipgloss - NARS Turkish Delight

An ivory, monochrome look for your Friday! I'm wearing all the ivory-on-ivory I can until fall hits (although I do like a good winter white look!). Have a great weekend! Thanks for reading.

Cool Summer Nights with Lilly Pulitzer...

Top: Lilly Pulitzer c/o | Denim: 7FAM, similar distressed option under $60 | Pumps: J.Crew Factory | Bag: Lilly Pulitzer c/o | Sunnies: Madewell | Necklace: Kate Spade | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelets: Alex and Ani, J.Crew Factory | Ring: Madewell | Lips: Lipstick - MAC Creme Cup, Lipgloss - NARS Turkish Delight

Now that summer is winding down and the nights are getting cooler, I gravitate towards lightweight sweaters and tunics to keep the chill away. I tend to get cold everywhere I go actually, especially at work! When looking for fall basics I typically go for neutrals and black options, but sometimes it's fun to mix it up with a bright print! Lilly Pulitzer is my go-to for colorful tops and dresses that are perfect for transitioning into cooler months. I love that all their prints are original and fresh, and they definitely give off that South Beach, tropical vibe! Every time I wear something Lilly I'm instantly in a great, lighthearted mood! :) I especially love that there's so many options for cooler weather, like their Elsa tops (what I'm wearing above) and their 3-quarter sleeve dresses.  For sizing, I got a medium in the tunic and probably could have gotten a small.

OK guys, I need your advice. I've been doing spin classes for almost a year but I took a break when I was crazy busy with work this month and now I'm not as motivated to get back into it. I definitely need to switch up my routine!! I've heard hot yoga is amazing but the classes here are only available during the work day (ugh). Any suggestions on your favorite fitness classes? I'd love to hear your suggestions :)

Summer Skirt...

Tank: Topshop | Skirt: J.Crew Factory | Pumps: J.Crew Factory | Bag: J.Crew, similar | Necklace: Kate Spade | Bracelet: Kate Spade | Lipstick: MAC - Creme Cup with Bare Minerals gloss on top

Now that the weekend is over, my life is a little more normal again. Last week I was coordinating a week-long event and then had a bachelorette party over the weekend. I could definitely use a nap, but it was so much fun! If you were following along on snapchat (@libbyglaser), you probably got a glimpse of my outfit and hair (more on my hair later - stay tuned!). I wore this skirt with a white off the shoulder top and it added the right amount of class to a fun weekend look. It would really work well for most settings, whether it be casual, a party, church, etc. Also can we talk about my Topshop tank??!! Insert heart-eyed emoji. It comes in so many colors, and its under $30!

Transitioning into Fall...

Dress: J.Crew Factory | Sandals: Tommy Hilfiger | Bag: BCBG | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Earrings: J.Crew Factory | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelets: J.Crew Factory, Kate Spade | Necklace: Kate Spade | Lipstick: MAC - Up the Amp

Is it just me or is this summer really hot and humid?? I've been ready for the fall months since July - riding boots, scarves and hot cocoa are calling my name - however the weather isn't cooperating with my fall daydreams right now. In the mean time, I'm incorporating my favorite bright colors with pops of fall shades to transition my wardrobe right into the new season! This dress from J.Crew Factory has a lot of bright colors, but I'm also loving the deep purple and navy shades that make this dress great for both summer and winter. It would be adorable with boots and a navy blazer in the fall! Another easy way to add fall shades into the mix is in your lipstick! I'm wearing MAC's Up the Amp, which is a buildable purple shade, and I wear this shade a ton in the fall months. I also wear MAC's Rebel, a burgundy shade, in the fall quite a bit, and it pairs nicely with all-white, monochrome looks.

 I am SO excited it's the weekend because today I'm traveling to Des Moines for my friend Mara's bachelorette party!! Bring on the champagne, games and fun times! Hope you all have fun plans for the weekend too!! 

Thanks for reading :)

Natural...

Top: J.Crew, similar under $60 | Shorts: J.Crew Factory | Pumps: J.Crew Factory | Bag: Target (on sale!) | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Watch: JORD c/o | Bracelets: Kate Spade, J.Crew Factory | Necklace: Kate Spade | Lipstick: MAC - Creme Cup

As a busy event coordinator, time is always of the essence. It's so important for me to be on schedule and have my timeline of events in order so my guests are enjoying themselves without any delay. My all-natural wood watch from JORD has stylishly helped me stay on time and keep my events running smoothly. All of their watches are made of wood, and the little details in the watch are made of the highest quality. I have always worn a watch on my wrist and this watch is quickly becoming a staple accessory! 

To check out more amazing watches from JORD, be sure to check out their website. I especially love the turquoise face on the Cora watch. I am wearing the Fieldcrest in Maple.
