3 Tips for Dressing Stylish AND Warm

I mean… going from 70 degree California to 10 degree Utah was a major body shock, but in a really fun way! I didn’t realize that Park City hasn’t gotten much snow this season. When we arrived on Friday, there was hardly any around (but of course the mountains were still gorgeous).

And then Friday evening it began to snow, like magic. And it snowed more and more and more for two days. I felt so lucky to experience the magic of the snowfall and you can tell in these photos, it was really coming down!

Christian and I skied together in Utah a few years ago, but I was so excited to return to the gorgeous area this year with Stella Artois for the Sundance Film Festival. Stella has been a huge supporter of both Sundance and Women in Film for years. I was so inspired by all the creative people showcasing their talent, and I can’t wait to share more on the experience tomorrow.

As for now, can we talk about this coat?! You guys – IT’S REVERSIBLE. Brilliant! I had to really put my mind to work when putting together stylish but warm outfits for the festival. Believe it or not… the only part of me that was cold when wearing this outfit were my hands. Seriously!

On that note, let’s get into my three tips for staying stylish and warm –

Mix your fabrics

I was layering cashmere and wool but was careful not to dress in too many layers because then you’re sweating anytime you’re inside. Which is the worst. I’d rather be a little cold for a 15 minute walk than sweaty for hours inside, so think about your indoor comfort too.

Pockets

Depending on how long you’re going to be outside and how big your bag is, you might want to sacrifice gloves. On this trip, I only brought gloves on one day and never wore them because we were constantly looking up directions, taking photos or texting other girls in town. This means having pockets is really important so you can shove your hands in them when you’re outside! Even better if you have hand warmers.

Layer your Socks

Yes, I wore these boots in the snow. I wear heels all the time and I didn’t realize how much snow there was until I was already outside… so I went with it. We were mostly inside during this trip, so I sacrificed some of my outside comfort so I could feel confident inside. I mean… I’ve been suffering for fashion for as long as I can remember. Let’s be real!

BUT, every single day I wore two pairs of socks. I would wear a regular sock and then layer a wool sock over it. I always think wearing warm, wool socks can make a big difference. No one likes to have their toes going numb.

More on our Sundance experience and where we ate and stayed in Park City tomorrow! Thanks so much for reading – XO –

Let’s Talk Levi’s 501 Jeans

This is by no means my first time wearing these Levi’s on CBL. I LOVE LEVI’S 501 JEANS. Y’all have seen me wear these jeans in Palm Springs, New York, Mississippi, Los Angeles, Florida, and Orange County here, here and today.

I’ve loved these Old Hangouts so much that I recently added the Post Modern Blues to my collection as well (seen in this post, scroll to bottom for sizing recommendations). Now I think I need to snag the Black Coast. They’re high waisted and totally on-trend as a nod to classic old school denim.

Because I’ve shared several looks featuring this pair of jeans, I wanted to share a twist of how I styled denim on denim. There are so may ways to rock this trend! You can wear a classic blue denim jacket with white, black or blue denim. You can rock a chambray with white, black or blue denim. Play with different shades, textures and so on. You can wear it with sneakers, boots or heels – anything goes.

I thought this article and this article had some great inspiration and do’s/don’ts to wearing denim on denim.

I LOVE the look of a denim jacket tied around the waist. It’s easy, cool and effortless while being functional. It took me a while to get on the denim jacket train, but now that I have one I’ve found it goes with almost everything.

Scroll down to see how you score 30% off your Levi’s purchase this week!

And for the dudes, Christian has and loves this pair. They’re a great fit for a tall, slim guy – so much so that he’s considering getting a second pair, and if you read Monday’s post, you know this is no easy feat.

Right now you can get 30% off your Levi’s purchase with the code 30VIP. This is the time to get on the Levi’s train, my friends! Trust me, you’ll live in them.

Thank you so much for reading! XO –

Plant-Based Diet: Week Three

My third week of eating plant-based! I shared the first week’s recap here and the second week here. I must admit, this week was a little less impressive in terms of photos/recipes. Christian and I took Monday off for MLK Jr. Day, and we spent the day in Laguna Beach. It was magical (!!) – but the days that followed were filled both playing catch up and working ahead because I was in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival from Friday – Monday!

I know, I know – cry me a river. BUT my reason for explaining this is because I don’t have a photographed recipe or an extensive list of recipes. Girl… I was making it work!

That being said, let’s get into it.

Last Week’s Recipes:

Black Bean Soup – so good. So very good! We topped the soup with avocado, cilantro and tortilla chips. Also made great leftovers.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Smoothie – I’ve made this for my three y/o nephew and Christian – a crowd pleaser no matter your age or gender! A great quick breakfast or snack.

Quinoa Black Bean Tacos – This was the recipe I was hoping to feature in today’s blog post, but as you saw in my cry-me-a-river excuse above… I didn’t get around to it. SO yummy though! Will definitely be making these again.

Power Balls – I made these as a snack option for me and breakfast option for Christian. He will eat almost anything and will eat healthy if there’s something already made. I thought this recipe was ok, next time I’ll be trying this recipe. I used organic peanut butter and a lot of the oil was gone so it made them a little dry. Then I added some coconut oil which made them better… but I need to play around with a few recipes before I perfect them!

Dining Out:

I have a confession. On our Laguna-filled day of fun we were having a late lunch on the beach and… I got mahi mahi tacos. I was going to get the vegetarian sandwich but then the server was saying it was “alright” and raving on the tacos and I was on the water… I cheated! I wanted to be honest because while they were good, they didn’t rock my world. I found myself thinking afterwards, “that wasn’t really worth it.” I would have enjoyed veggie tacos just as much. Surprising, right?

I left for Sundance on Friday and thankfully there were vegetarian options everywhere thanks to all these California hippies (finger pointed at myself here) in town. So it was rarely an issue except one day when I hadn’t eaten since 6AM and pizza was the only lunch option. I opted for veggie pizza but it did have cheese on it, I confess.

How I’m Feeling

I was extra hungry last week. Which was annoying because I was also extra busy so I was basically shoving food in my mouth while answering emails and making a packing list. #Godbless.

Thanks so much for reading! XO –

His and Her Style

A few months ago I shared a post about shopping for a dude, and what I’ve learned through the years. Believe it or not, I sometimes have a hard time shopping for guy stuff for Christian. Not only is mens clothing totally different than women’s, but he is also incredibly particular. If the fit is slightly off or the quality isn’t to “his liking”… he’s out.

He’s a minimal wardrobe kind of guy, which is why he hunts so hard for the perfect items. He wants one pair of black boots and he wants them to be perfect. A few years ago he decided he wanted to buy a vest. After A YEAR of looking for the perfect vest, he bought this one. It took a year!

This is why I love shopping from Nordstrom for him. They have an enormous selection, an incredible return/exchange policy, and they’re constantly adding to their mens shop. Also, when he is taking 45 minutes to pick out a belt, I can be one floor below shopping for myself. Really, it’s a win-win.

So I thought I’d share C’s rule of thumb for adding to his wardrobe. I can’t believe I’m typing this… but maybe I could learn a few things from him?

Invest in Classic Pieces

One thing that’s a mantra here on Carrie Bradshaw Lied (or some might say I taught her this) is to invest in your classics/basics. You can add a trend item here or there to update thing or keep it fresh, but if you’re shopping for something you know you’ll wear a lot, it’s ok to invest in quality.

Fit

Learn what fits your body. Once you’ve figured out what you feel comfortable and confident in, stick to that fit and/or brand. Your favorites are your favorites for a reason – because they meet all of your requirements: comfort, fit and confidence. More isn’t better. Stick with what you like because if you can’t find it now, you’ll find it later.

Dog Hair

We have a yellow lab, and after living with her for 10 years we’ve found our house and clothes slowly but surely match her because… her hair is on everything no matter how hard we try. We wear “Bailey colors.”

PS – I’ve added a new category to CBL at the top of this site! In the “family” category you can now find all couple/love/marriage/wedding/relationship content. I hope this will help keep everything in one place for anyone with questions related to these topics!

photos by Vincent Elejorde

his: jacket, also love this one (on sale) and this one | shirt (color is a little different in person than online), also love this one and this one | denim | sunglasses, look for less here | boots, also love these

I’d love to hear what you guys think of these “his and her” kind of posts. Do you like them? Are they helpful at all if you’re the one shopping for the guy in your house? I’d love to hear what you think.

Thanks so much for reading and sharing! XO –

Velvet Pant Suit

A few weeks ago I styled this blazer in this post, sharing how you can wear velvet in a more casual look. BUT, I knew I was going to have to bring you guys a full glam velvet look. Because if I have a velvet suit, you know I’m gonna have to wear that!

I think this look would be an awesome twist on a rehearsal dinner outfit, dressed up office party or engagement party. When there is a sea of women in cocktail dresses and a boss lady comes in wearing a suit!? Yassss!!!! I’m all about a chic power suit, and this one is all that, and it feels like pajamas. So yeah, I’m into it.

One of the best things about purchasing a set is that you can absolutely wear each piece on its own, creating a minimum of three looks. However since this set is a classic black, you can wear each piece so may different ways. Versatility in purchases – I can’t preach it enough. If you’re going to splurge on something you best be able to wear it multiple ways!

Are you guys still loving velvet? How do you feel about velvet on velvet?

Wednesday Wish List: Loungewear

best loungewear picks

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 (40% off) | 5 | 6 (40% off) | 7 | 8 (40% off) | 9 – I have this and it’s ADORABLE in person | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14

Let’s be honest… most of us have three main categories of clothing in our closet: workwear, GNO/happy hour/date night/going out clothes and loungwear. The right loungewear should never be underestimated – my joggers are some of the most worn pants in my wardrobe. I actually just laughed out loud as I typed that becasue it’s so true! No shame.

SO, I’m rounding up some of my favorite comfy lounge pieces that can be both comfortable for weekend/weeknight wear (or if you work from home this is your workwear, #judgementfreezone). Above are some of my favorite picks right now, and I included some extra goodies below. I just discovered this brand and their pieces are so cute!

STAY COMFY, my friends. Thanks so much for reading! XO –

Dressing Down a Slip Dress

It’s no secret I love a slip dress. I’ve shared different ways I’ve styled them here, here and here, but this maxi version was a new beauty that I couldn’t wait to take on the town! At first glance you might think this is a formal piece, but today I want to show you how you can dress down a slip dress (and other formal pieces in your closet).

Play with texture.

Don’t be afraid to combine cotton, silk, suede, faux fur, fringe, leather – mix it up for an interesting and unique vibe.

Layer it up.

In this look, I thought I needed to add a tee to dress it down and cover some skin. It also helped take the dress from dressy to casual.

Dress down the shoe.

I have a post coming up that pairs a midi skirt with sneakers – but I think a casual shoe can be one of the easiest ways to take a more formal dress or skirt to a casual outfit. Even pants – how cool would sequined joggers be with a crisp white sneaker!? Fab!

Confidence!

It may sound corny… but I truly feel the key to pulling off any look is confidence. You gotta feel good in what you’re rocking, so if you don’t feel comfortable or you find yourself self-consciously checking the mirror too many times before you leave the house… stop yourself! The key to pulling off a trend or new outfit is “owning it baby” (said in Lisa Rinna voice), so make sure you are feeling your look.

On a similar topic, I recently shared how to dress down velvet here. I’d love to hear how you dress down some of the fancier pieces in your closet! OR, share a comment telling me a piece you’re having trouble styling/dressing down. I’d love to give you my suggestion!

Plant-Based Diet: Week Two

Last week I shared my first post about eating a plant-based diet for the month of January. I included why I was doing this, how I was feeling and my favorite vegan blogs + recipes. SO, we are now two weeks in and I’m excited to share another update!

This week was little more challenging… thanks to hormones and lady things (TMI). I found myself having a few not-as-healthy days… like when I bought a bag of salt & pepper kettle chips that became my best friend. Also hence the mac & cheese recipe below. BUT one thing I’ve been really surprised by is that my beef/pork/chicken cravings are actually zero.

I have actually found myself occasionally thinking about a boiled egg, fish and cheese… but have somehow managed to stay on track. More about how I’m feeling at the bottom of this post!

Last Week’s Recipes:

Thai Curry – without chicken, 100% vegan version here – featured in this post! Note: I used brown rice noodles instead of rice and didn’t like them as much as regular noodles. I would try to find rice noodles next time OR just use jasmine rice. I make this curry dish often and we switch it up between noodles and rice!

Broccoli Cheese Soup – so good, we also ate with a grilled (soy) cheese for leftovers.

Vegan Caesar Salad – crazy good and I added homemade croutons. YUM.

Garlicky Mac & Cheese – really savory and easy to make.

Crock Pot Steel Cut Oatmeal – it was alright but I’ve made one more like this recipe before and I remember it being better.

Hippie Bowls – if you watched Christian’s review on Insta-stories… he wasn’t digging this meal but I liked it!

Homemade Pizza – One of my go-to’s when I want a quick and easy dinner is to make a pizza. I’ll buy Trader Joe’s pizza dough or cauliflower crust and do half red sauce, half of their vegan pesto. Top with almond or soy mozzarella and then load with veggies (we like to top with shredded brussels sprouts too)! Other times I’ll just do mushrooms and onions – it just depends on what veggies I have on-hand.

Dining Out:

Continues to be a non-issue. We ate out three times last week. Two times I had a vegetable sandwich with chips or fruit and one time we had Mexican food (I had a vegetable crispy taco with rice and beans).

Here is what I actually ended up eating last week (obviously some of these items weren’t intended to be on my meal plan but sometimes a girl attacks a bag of chips. I am who I am):

photos by Christian Barnes

How I’m Feeling:

I feel great. My skin is clear, my energy levels feel normal I’m able to focus easily. I’ve been surprised that I don’t feel puffy or bloated, despite eating carbs every day. I did see an increase in my weigh-in this week but I think that was more cycle-related. Stay tuned!

Let me know if I missed anything, and I’ll touch base with you guys next week! Thanks so much for reading and sharing all of your helpful tips. XO –

Friday’s Five

striped leggings

– snagging these striped leggings for 40% off (code is GOFORIT, makes these under $20!) –

urban decay vice lipstick

– loving the new Urban Decay x Kristen Leanne collection and especially loving the highlight palette and Bun Bun Lipstick –

mens gray asics sneakers

– Christian finally snagging some new sneakers, these are a part of the Zappos The Ones Collection – a throwback to old school styles. So cool, I have my eye on these! –

vintage alma mater sweaters

– adding these two sweaters to my collection, I can actually rep my alma mater in style, love it! –

batiste

– stocking up on dry shampoo – Marshall’s always has these for $7.99 (the cans are 13.5oz!) –

By now we should all be getting settled into 2018, which means writing “2017” accidentally on checks and paperwork should be slowly ceasing (truthfully, this always takes me more like a month to get the hang of the new year).

We got a lot of rain this week, and if you’re a Californian you know how special the rain is! It made the temperatures drop quite a bit. Although it’s also brought some pretty devastating mudslides, so lots of prayers being said for those who have lost loved ones or their homes in the Central Coast.

Christian has Monday off for MLK Jr. Day, and we’re still trying to figure out what to do to take advantage of his extra time off. Do you guys get Monday off too? Would love to hear what your weekend plans are! I’m trying to twist his arm to go to California Adventure… but we’ll see if he goes for it.

Last but certainly not least, I can’t go without sharing how moved I was at Oprah’s speech at the Golden Globes. WOW. I’ve always jokingly said “there’s God, Jesus, then Oprah,” but I found myself clapping for her on the sofa of our living room. She is incredible, and I feel lucky to be alive during her lifetime so I can soak up all the words and wisdom that is Queen Oprah. Would love to hear what you thought!

Thanks so much for reading and have a beautiful weekend – XO –

High/Low Price Point Mixing

I have been mixing high and low price points in outfits for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a small town where the fashion options were: JCPenney, Payless, Wal-Mart or Sears, so I learned to get creative.

I think mixing and matching can be intimidating to a lot of people but I promise, it doesn’t need to be! I’ve shared this with you guys before, but when you’re looking to splurge, keep it to accessories or classic pieces. In this look, the only piece over $60 are the handbag and shoes.

These kinds of items (particularly bags, jewelry and outerwear) tend to hold their value if taken care of, much more so than other closet items.

And even saying that, the shoes in this look are a designer dupe! When you have a fabulous bag, beautiful jewelry or a classic blazer or jacket, it automatically elevates everything else you’re wearing. I think the bag in this outfit makes the skirt look much more luxe than a $52 tweed wrap skirt.

I know I preach this all the time, but versatility is everything. When I was helping my sister with her own closet recently, I pulled a leather purse strap off a shelf and tied it at her waist like a belt. Just because you’ve always worn a certain dress one way doesn’t mean you can’t layer a sweater over it with booties to create a completely different outfit for free.

If you’re in a clothing rut, dedicate some time to get creative in your own closet before purchasing something new!

photos by Vincent Elejorde

I’ll never stop mixing and matching. I may live in a city with millions of people now, but you never know – I could be back in a small town in 10 years. Trust me, I’ll be mixing Wal-Mart and Target with Chanel and Prada – #dontcare! You do you, girl!

Thanks so much for reading – and if you have any high/low price point mixing tips, I’d love to hear! XO

Favorite Shows to Binge on Netflix

I love television. Love it. If I want to be basic female who blames any of her weaknesses on her parents, I would say maybe my love of television is deep rooted in my upbringing.

I was allowed to watch 30 minutes of TV a day growing up, and we weren’t allowed to have in TV’s in our bedrooms. Apparently my Dad had one in his room growing up and said he didn’t really hang out with his brothers at home because everyone just retreated to their rooms. So in an effort to get their kids to hang out with each other, learn to share and play outside… I was graciously turned down when I asked for my own TV every year for Christmas.

Cut to college where I got to have a TV in my dorm room. I was like… THIS IS LIVING. Lying in my bed and watching The OC was one of my greatest pleasures in life. So now I’m basically a complete addict. Maybe I’m making up for lost time?

I also work from home now which means I typically have a show on while I edit photos, answer emails, write copy (literally watching Parenthood while I’m typing this right now), etc.

Because I’ve been open with you guys about this addiction, I get a lot of questions about my favorite shows to binge and do I have a list for you! I thought I would dedicate a whole post to my Netflix faves. So let’s get into it!

FEEL GOOD:

Parenthood | Love it. Love it so hard I wish I was a Braverman.

Friends | I mean… who doesn’t like Friends!? I watched several seasons while painting our breakfast room table (post here). I don’t even feel like this one needs an explanation.

Master of None | Christian and I love Aziz Ansari. His stand-up specials are also on Netflix and they’re hilarious. We’ve seen him live and he was incredible. So yeah… we’re obsessed.

Friday Night Lights | I was slow to accept that this show is amazing. I was like… let me just dip my toe in it. And after like… 4 episodes I was all, “this is the best show regarding sports of all time.”

Friends From College | We just kind of stumbled upon this one weekend and loved it. I think Keegan-Michael Key is beyond hilarious. He can say basically anything and I’ll laugh (we love this skit of his).

DRAMA:

Mindhunter | If you’re a true-crime lover, this show is for you. It dives deeper into the history of several serial killers and tries to connect the dots of behavioral patterns. A fascinating look into the behind-the-scenes of capturing what is truly evil.

The Five | I was basically advertising this show all over social media because I stumbled upon it, saw it was based on a novel by Harlan Coben (an amazing mystery author). It was SO good, and I felt the need to share a PSA! I’ve since received 92374384343 direct messages with “what was that show that you recommended?” so I need to share it somewhere permanently!

Ozark | We love Jason Bateman and really hope this show has a second season. So good!

The Keepers | A disturbing docu-series that is both heartbreaking and inspiring.

The Crown | A fabulous show! I think this is a must-see for anyone who liked Downton Abbey. If you’re a Downton fan, I think you’ll love this show.

House of Cards | I had a hard time listening to Kevin Spacey’s terrible Southern accent (it’s actually why I initially ditched it and later revisited the series), so selfishly I’m not sad to see him axed from the show. Looking forward to the final season and the stunning #bosslady that is Robin Wright.

Orange is the New Black | I’ve been hooked on this show from the beginning. I love the complexity of the characters and you have to credit the writing of a show that completely takes place inside a female prison and is still completely captivating.

Stranger Things | I’m the opposite of a Sci-Fi person (still haven’t seen Star Wars and probably never will), but I had to witness the return of Winona Ryder with my own eyes. I’ll always root for her! More than anything, I’m amazed by the kids starring in this show and their talent. A++!

Other Netflix specials I really loved were Lady Gaga’s Documentary (Five Foot Two), the Amanda Knox special and any stand-up by Jim Gaffigan, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer or Sebastian Maniscalco (this guy is a riot, snippet here).

Christian really liked Narcos. I watched the first season and then was like… I think this is too much violence for me so you can watch it on your own. And he did!

I’m considering watching Mad Men, Black Mirror or The Fall. I’d love to hear your favorite shows to binge on Netflix! Thanks so much for reading – XO –

Styling Short Hair

This post is long overdue! I chopped my hair about a month ago. Honestly, I haven’t had hair this short since jr. high, and I was so nervous to make the cut. Once I left the salon chair (I go to Jeanna at Salon9), I couldn’t believe I’d been nervous and I thought… I should have made this cut a long time ago! It feels more mature and no-fuss. I love it!

Since then I’ve been getting questions a lot of questions about how I’ve been styling it. I wanted to wait until I had tried a few irons, curlers, products, etc. so I could share my favorite strategy with you guys. I promise it’s not groundbreaking information, but I like to share blog posts when I get the same question often so that it will hopefully answer everything in one place!

Two of my favorite things about having short hair are:

It cuts my styling time in half.
My hair holds curl and texture SO much longer.

Step One

Once I’ve washed my hair (I wash my hair 2-3x a week), I use this detangler with this brush. I’ll then add either this leave-in conditioner or this moisturizing cream.

Step Two

I then blow dry it with this blow-dryer and will spray in this heat protectant spray before plugging in a curling wand or iron. When I’m styling it for the first time I will use this 1″ curling wand for tighter waves that fall throughout the day. For the next 2-4 days, I’ll use this iron with this 1.25″ barrel to maintain the waves or touch them up.

In this post, I have third day hair. On the first day I curled it with the wand and then today before the post I touched it up with the clip barrel.

Step Three

Once I’ve curled my hair I’ll spray this texturizing spray in the mid-section of my hair and will lightly spray with hairspray. If I’m going to be taking photos for my blog, I will pop in a few clip-in hair extensions (I’m wearing them in these photos) from Bellami for extra fullness! I use the ones shared here, and I cut three wefts when I cut my hair so I could continue to wear them.
