I know we just surpassed Black Friday and there will be probably upcoming Christmas sales, but I honestly think Nordstrom’s 60% off mark-down is one of the best sales you can find! Plus, the upcoming Christmas sales remain pricey just because they know you’re doing your last minute shopping and you have to buy something regardless.
I hope you enjoy it—XX Mariam Shibly. PS. I’m not receiving commission on any of the sales (in fact I rarely do), just trying to keep you guys ahead of the game with me!

I can’t express my love for comfortable basic tees enough. They’re completely understated and you can pair them with pretty much anything.

Like I said, I’m a sucker for sophisticated coats. I actually ended up buying this because I LOVE a chic double breasted peacoat and I only own one in white. This color I’m hoping looks good on our skin tone, I’ll find out when it arrives— but it looks versatile and I love the neck!

Teddy coats are definitely a staple of this season. I’ve been reluctant on purchasing any just because it looks ‘too comfortable’ for my liking, but I came across this coat and the fact that it’s a midi coat, soft color and the cuts aren’t overbearing — this would be the teddy coat I’d rock. It looks sleek and very trendy!
I love the neck on this oversized sweater. There’s so many ways to wear it, you can wear it as a standard v-neck or bring it out on your shoulders as shown in the picture.

Are you interested in creating a cute street fit look, but not sure how? This is how I do it. I take casual tee’s, but with cuts that are very flattering so your street fit is still fitted.

I love wide leg pants especially when they have the right cut for waists, because that’s when it looks most flattering. These pants are perfect for the trendy casual look especially with sneakers and wear it a fitted top tucked in all the way or just in the front.
I love cropped hoodies. If I want it look super cropped, I won’t wear a tank underneath and pair it with a high wasted pants that have a flattering cut to really enhance the hour glass figure. If I want to bring a sporty look, I rock cropped hoodies with a long stretch tank over leggings or skinny jeans and a pair of sneakers as always.
