NYC Recap

I made a quick trip to NYC for a brand meeting, and truly… it was one of those whirlwind visits that just fills your cup. The city was already starting to sparkle for the holidays, and getting to soak in that first wave of magic felt so special. It was the lights, the shop windows, even the chill in the air. Between the beautiful hotel, cozy dinners, morning coffee runs, and wandering around in festive outfits, every moment felt like a little snapshot of why I love this season so much. It was the quickest but best trip, the kind that leaves you inspired, grateful, and reminded why NYC is always, always worth it.

DRESS | BOOTS | COAT

This might be my favorite holiday dress of the season – it has very limited stock left, but I added a few other plaid options I love! I sized up to a small for the bump and loved how it draped. It works beautifully for Christmas photos, holiday dinners, or any event where you want to feel festive but comfortable.

NAIL POLISH

I’ve been loving this OPI shade on my nails lately. It’s the prettiest wine-red color that feels perfect for fall and winter, and it transitions so well into the holidays. It’s rich, classic, and one of those shades that makes your hands look instantly polished.

COAT | SCARF | SWEATER | PANTS | BOOTS

This was one of the outfits I packed for New York, and I love how it turned out! The classic neutral Quince sweater and burgundy striped pants made the prettiest combo. I added the Free People scarf I picked up yesterday and topped it with a fleece coat that was ideal for the chilly weather.

COAT | SWEATER | SKIRT | BOOTS

How cute is this sweater? If you’re a dog lover or know someone who is, this one is just too good to pass up. I still can’t believe it’s a Target find. The quality and little details make it feel so much more special in person. I’m wearing the XL for an oversized, cozy fit, and I love how it pairs with this slip skirt for that fun mix of playful and polished.

COAT | DRESS | HEELS | PURSE

This is the look I wore to the Walmart Holiday Preview event at The Plaza Hotel. The black dress is from Walmart, bump-friendly, and so beautiful for the holidays. I had so many people ask about it. Fit is true to size, and I’m wearing the XS.

SWEATER | SKIRT

I just ordered this burgundy set and I’m obsessed! I was planning on wearing it to dinner in New York, but our plans changed! Will definitely be trying to find something to wear this to soon! This would be great for a holiday party!

BEIGE SHOULDER BAG | RED CLUTCH | BLACK HANDBAG

I’ve been testing out a few new Amazon bags for fall and winter, and these three have quickly become my go-tos. The colors, the texture, the structure. They feel so elevated for the price. I loved them so much I packed them for my New York trip, and they worked perfectly with every outfit I brought.

I’m still smiling, thinking about this trip and all the little NYC moments that made it so sweet. From the holiday windows to the perfect latte stop to getting dressed up for the evening, it was the loveliest mix of work and fun. I can’t wait to go back again once the city is in full holiday mode, but for now, I hope these snapshots give you a little inspiration for the season ahead. Let me know which outfit was your favorite!
