What I Want Wednesday: Stylish Pajamas

Confession...

I wear the UGLIEST things to bed in the winter time. I am talking men's XXL sweats with the waist rolled three times and wife beaters and/or something long sleeved (think ratty sweatshirt or a flannel). I want to be warm, cozy and comfy. I refuse to wear socks to bed, even when I do they are somehow off when I wake up in the morning anyways. I just don't care to look cute. This drives my mother BONKERS. She harps on the ugliness of my PJ choices, has bought me a couple cute sets and always feels bad for my boyfriends. Lol. We have a week long trip to Lake Tahoe planned for Christmas so I know I have to step up my game to be around my family and our guests!

As I was looking for the cutest sets to share with you I was SHOCKED at how many I wanted! I may be conformed! I hope you love all of these as much as I do! PLUS, pajamas are the perfect gift for Christmas! I can look cute and you have some great gift options! It is a win win for all of us. ;)

Stylish Pajamas

1. DKNY 'Patterned Knit': We all need a little leopard in our lives! This is the perfect PJ set with a little bit of sass. It is a knit and not flannel so I am assuming it is extra comfy.

2. Xhilaration 'Polka Dot Flannel Set': I must confess that I already purchased this set. It is too cute and I am having a slight love affair with Polka Dots. I love the clean and crisp feel of the black, gold and white. Plus for $25 it is a bargain!

3. PJ Salvage 'Brushed Thermal Sleep Shirt': I LOVE the print and color way of this sleep shirt (it comes in 7 other prints/colors as well). It is flirty and feminine but will still keep you warm!

4. Gap 'Striped Waffle Romper': I am a fan of the romper and think that this is a cute piece for someone who doesn't like to wear pants to bed. I love the stripes and the buttons. It is just really fun.  

5. Gap 'Soft and Cozy PJ Set': I know that I love wearing cotton tops with my flannel bottoms. A full flannel PJ set can feel stiffer and be very warm. I think that this is a great option to wear to bed.

6. Kensie 'Quite the Character' thermal pj's: Can we all say DARLING! I am dying over the Jade green, the banding and small pocket are fantastic touches and thermals are lightweight but still keep you warm. This set also comes in like 6 other colors and prints. Adorable!

7. Xhilaration 'Dream Sleeptee' and Socks: This set is probably best for warmer places during the winter do to the thin tee shirt material. It is a girl version of Tom Cruise's look in Cocktail. I also like the mixing of stripes and polka dots. This is also a set that will not break the bank!

8. In Bloom by Jonquil 'Unwrap Me': I cannot post looks without popping in something sexier (and kind of cheeky!). I have an older print of this set and I LOVE it. It shows off your curves, showcases your arse and is sexy without showing too much! This is a gift for you AND your man. ;)

What I Wore: Hats, Hats, Hats

The reoccurring theme on the blog this week has been accessories. And how much I love them. I mean L-O-V-E them. Monday you got to see my scarf and rad riding boots. Wednesday I shared my love for Sunnies and flip flops. Today is all about hats (and another pair of pretty rad boots). My love for hats started about 7 years ago. I buy them all of the time and wear one about once a week. Recently I bought a turquoise hat rack that looks amazing in my room. I get to see all of my pretty hats at one time. I throw a hat on to complete my look OR to cover my dirty hair. Either way they are fun and look good.

I put this ensemble together over the weekend. It was chilly and cool after the rain. This hat is newer and have been dying to wear it. I have a couple other outfits in mind that i cannot wait to show you all. Flowy sweaters, cashmere scarves and motorcycle boots are perfect for cutting out the chill and still looking good. I wore this out to the mall and had THREE different people tell me how much they liked my style. I was flattered and excited. It is funny how the simple things sometimes make the biggest impression on others.

Hats, Hats, Hats

What I Wore:

Sweater: Kensie (4 years old)

Tank: Old Navy (no longer available)

Jeggings: Hue

Boots: Target

Scarf: Norsdstrom Tissue Cashmere

Hat: Jessica Simpson

What I Wore: Kensie 'Nomad' shawl collar sweater

I am definitely not ashamed to share that I am highly influenced by celebs in determining my own personal style. When I saw this sweater in the store I knew I had to have it. When I saw it on a couple of celebs right after that, I knew I needed to pick it up asap. And I am so glad that I did. Comfy, cozy and chic. I will be living in this all winter long.

I originally posted that I was going to get it in the gray/purple color combo but when I saw it in person I knew that the black/blue/taupe combo was the best looking.

Here it is on one of my favs...Hilary Duff.

Love her leggings and boots.

• Sunnies: Ray Ban over sized Aviators
• Handbag: Givenchy Nightingale

Two Hundred Fifty One: a staple in my closet

I was beyond excited to find that one of my favorite sweaters is back on the Nordstrom online store. I bought the Kensie drape front sweater almost three years ago and still have three colors in my closet. (I buy in bulk when I find something I like) This sweater is thin enough to layer and belt. It truly is my go to when I need to look polished but don't want to be confined.

I would highly encourage everyone to check it out.

Two Hundred Fifty: Fair Isle

Nikki Reed is wearing the Kensie Fair Isle drape front cardigan that I saw last week in Arizona at work. I LOVE it and am waiting to get paid to scoop this baby up. Nothing screams Fall and Winter more than fair isle print. And I love that it is stylish. This sweater will look great with so many pieces in the ever day wardrobe: jeans, leggings, shift dress, pencil skirt and so much more.

I am personally buying it in this color combo:

It also comes in a cream, whisky brown combo as well.

Gorgeous colors.

249: Chunky Knit Sweaters

It is supposed to be rainy ALL week in So Cal.

And as much as I despise the rain...I am EXCITED to bust out my sweaters.

Or buy new ones because I am obsessed with these two...

Bothe sweaters are by Kensie.

Kensie had some of the cutest pieces and I love these in particular. They are both so chunky and comfy looking.

The top sweater is called the Tissue Knit Drop Sticth Sweater. I imagine wearing this sweater with black riding pants and flat riding boots for a more casual look or with skinnies and sky high stilettos or with leggings and over the knee boots. So many looks with one sweater.

The bottom sweater is called the Fuzzy Knit BF cardi. If I bought this sweater I have a feeling that I would never take it off. This is the perfect weekend sweater with jeans and my mocassins or with jeggings and flat cognac colored boots.

And my sweats. Seriously. Haha.
