Best Fashion Finds of 2015

Happy Tuesday! As I mentioned yesterday, we have been snowed in since Friday so I wasn’t able to get to the store to buy any food for a food post…so I am recapping a few of my favorite fashion finds from 2015. Last week, I talked about my favorite beauty finds from 2015 {you can read that post here in case you missed it!} and as with last week’s post, I have purchased all these items and just can’t get enough of them! I would definitely consider these to be staple pieces in my closet. 

Zella ‘Live In’ Leggings: They aren’t kidding with the name of these! You may notice that I wear these a lot, but they are so comfortable and perfect for not only dressing up but also working out! I have a “dress up pair” and a “workout pair” {love them for barre class!} and they come in a variety of colors and prints. I’m definitely looking to buy another pair, I just can’t decide what color/print! And be on the lookout because Nordstrom sometimes has select colors on sale: this colorful and fun print is currently 33% off and this bright blue is 25% off — not a huge fan of blue, but this color is gorgeous! FYI, they are true to size! {Last seen HERE, HERE}

Chinese Laundry “Endless” lace-up flats: I had been searching for lace-up flats during the summer and into fall last year, but never really found a pair I loved {until these!}. Most were a little too expensive, not the right color or a combination of both. Priced at $60 these lace-up flats are not only comfortable but super cute! I have them in the black, but they also come in a camel and a pretty rose color, perfect for spring and summer! I found that they are true to size and I wear them all the time. Well, that is before all this snow hit! {Last seen HERE, HERE}

Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Sunglasses & Prada Cat Eye Sunglasses: Ok, so I couldn’t pick one! I love both of these sunglasses equally, but for different reasons. The Karen Walker sunnies are fun and very ’70s with the big tortoise frames. They are definitely my go-to when it comes to accessorizing with brown/tortoise sunglasses. But, when it comes to creating a classic look, I can never pass up my Prada Cat Eye sunnies. They are the definition of classic and pair well with anything from a fancy dress to a t-shirt and jeans. Although they are both priced on the higher side, I actually picked up my Karen Walker sunglasses during Shopbop’s sale back in October, and I saw that the Prada sunglasses were included in the last Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. So keep your eyes peeled, they do go on sale!! {Karen Walker sunnies seen HERE; Prada sunnies seen HERE}

Nordstrom Round Stud Earrings: Priced below $100, these are my favorite everyday earrings! These sparkly studs are cubic zirconia but shine just like the real thing! Considered to be about 3.5 ct., they are a great size for everyday wearing, and pretty much what I wear to work each day! I can’t tell you how many times people have stopped me to compliment my earrings, thinking they were real diamonds because they glitter so much! I have the “sterling platinum” but they are also available in “gold vermeil.” {Last seen HERE}

Hunter Original High Gloss Boot: I had been wanting Hunter boots for the longest time, but couldn’t decide on a color or glossiness. I always thought I wanted the more matte boot, thinking the high gloss was too glossy for me. But, after seeing the red high gloss in person, I realized it wasn’t nearly as glossy as it appeared online and decided to go with this one! There are so many colors to pick from, it really makes for a hard decision. I still have my eye on the hot pink pair though! How pretty is this color?! As for size, I’m pretty much always a 9.5 but went with a 9 in my Hunter boots. {Last seen HERE}

J.Crew Striped Tissue Turtleneck: I swear by these J.Crew tissue turtlenecks! My most recent tissue turtleneck purchase was this striped version — I love wearing it under ponchos and sweaters, it makes for the best layering piece! I also have it in a few solid colors too — it is currently available in 10 colors!! It’s super light making it ideal for fall and winter layering. And if you don’t want to wear it under a sweater, you can have it monogrammed for the perfect personalized touch! {Last seen HERE}

J.Crew Chambray Shirt: Another J.Crew favorite! I love this chambray shirt because it can be worn practically every season! In the winter, you can wear it under a sweater or vest for a cozy look and in the summer pair it with shorts or a skirt! It’s such a versatile piece and something everyone should have in their closet! You can pretty much find a chambray shirt at most stores, but I love this particular one from J.Crew because it’s a great shade and so soft! {Last seen HERE}

Tory Burch Robinson Multi Tote, updated style here: My husband gave me this bag for my birthday back in November and I have basically been carrying it everyday since! I had been looking for a camel/neutral color bag for the longest time and have always loved this Tory Burch one. With the two zip compartments and the optional shoulder strap, it makes for the perfect daily bag for me to take to work. This was definitely one of my favorite pieces from 2015! {Last seen HERE}

Tory Burch Junction Riding Boot {currently on sale!}: These brown riding boots have had my eye for quite some time now! And, I was so excited to open them from my husband on Christmas morning! These boots are the epitome of the classic equestrian style and I love the cut-out Tory Burch logo at the top of the boot. You may remember seeing them in this post, but I unfortunately haven’t been able to wear them much with the snow. Looking forward to this snow melting and breaking out my boots again! {Last seen HERE}

Sorry for the super long post! There was so much to say about all these fabulous finds from 2015! Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday and see you back here tomorrow for an all new Valentine’s Day inspired Wednesday Wishes!

  2. I'd say you have the perfect staples in your closet, fun and classy!! I especially love the boots and the lace up shoes!! I still need to get pair of those!! I hope its a great day and you're all dug out of that snow!!

  7. I almost bought that layering turtle neck from j.crew on sunday and now I"m regretting not buying it!! I agree with the hunter rain boots – I bought mine like 6 years ago and haven't looked back since! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston

  10. So many classics! I really need to just go ahead and get a pair of Hunter's. My current rainboots have a big tear in the side – that's reason enough to go shopping, right?

  18. Loving your entire list! My Hunters are my favorite, but I'm afraid of how much room they're going to take up in my suitcase next week since we're going up north to the snow. Maybe I should just wear them on the plane lol. And I need those TB riding boots in my life <3
