{{Preschool Chic}}

Happy Tuesday Nobella Grace Mermaids!

I am so excited to share this week's post with you, because it is a little more personal than normal. Right before the new year started, I got a job offer as the lead pre-k teacher at a premiere preschool! I gladly accepted! I was over the moon for this new opportunity and the fact that not only would I be able to teach at this school, but my son would be able to attend there as well. It was the perfect news for our family to receive and definitely started us off in the right direction for 2015. 

Yesterday, I had my first day of training and what better way to celebrate a new job than to do some outfit planning! For all of those who are laughing right now, give this girl a break. For the past 2.5 years I have stayed home with my son and taken care of 5 children. My normal "work" wardrobe consisted of yoga pants and sweatshirts. I was super excited to be able to dress in normal clothes each and every day! YAY!!

First up, I wore this outfit to the ribbon cutting ceremeony. I wanted to "dress to impress". I paired a plaid Everly dress with black leggings and black flats. I accessorized with Kate Spade bangles, ring, and earrings. This look is super simple and chic. Here's another dress I'm currently coveting ((SHOP HERE))! I can totally see myself wearing this to my new job with some leggings, a cardi, and boots while it's still cooler!

Next, I am OBSESSED with how soft this sweater is. If you havent grabbed the Heather Sweater yet, now is your chance. This amazing piece will go with EVERYTHING! I paired it with my favorite pair of jeans from Nobella Grace (the Denim Skinnies). Since this sweater is a neutral, it would also go with brown dress pants or a maxi skirt. The cowl neck and button detail on this sweater adds to it's natural charm. It's a must have for sure!

Last, but certainly not least, here's what I wore to my interview. Of course I had to rock my good luck charm (Nobella Grace ;))! I paired the Shana top with black dress pants from Banana Republic Outlet and black patent wedged heels from Ross. I love the simplistic cut outs on this top. It adds so much dimension and really makes this "normal" top so unique. Another work appropriate top is linked right here ((Sloan Top)). It's always nice to have a blouse that goes well with a simple pair of dress pants in your closet at all times.

I can't wait to create more {{Preschool Chic}} looks using Nobella Grace! What would YOU love to see next? Leave me a comment below and let me know!

Until Next Time

{{My Favorite Denim}}

Hi Nobella Grace Dolls!

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and are gearing up for a fun new year!

I'm excited to be back with you all and sharing my FAVORITE denim of 2014!

These jeans are so OUT OF THIS WORLD awesome that they will be accompanying me into 2015 as well!

Since we all know I'm a shopaholic, it goes without saying that I am also ADDICTED to fabulous denim.

I have tried EVERY premium denim out there and NONE compare to the amazing Destroyed Denim Jeans offered by Nobella Grace.

I always thought that the more expensive jeans were, the better the quality.

I would spend $100-$200 on jeans. It was insane!

These jeans are actually BETTER quality than what I was wearing and at ONLY $42, they are a STEAL!

Not only do they have a GREAT price, but they fit wonderfully.

Great stretch, perfect length, tasteful destroyed look, and versatile in terms of how to style them!

Check out my FAVORITE ways to wear these beauties (PS I may wear them multiple times a week...don't judge ;))

Casual + Cute

This look is PERFECT for a day out and about when you want to look pulled together, but laid back at the same time! Grab the amazing destroyed denim jeans, add a screen tee, a comfy hoodie, and some boots. Very easy, but a fun twist on a classic look! You will look super cute and comfy while tackling all your errands on that to-do list!

Dinner Date

These jeans can honestly transition from day to night without a problem. Need a fun dinner date outfit? Here you go! Take your destroyed denim jeans, add a military inspired jacket ((SIMILAR HERE)) + ((HERE)) with a plain tee underneath ((SIMILAR HERE)). Throw on your favorite booties to add some height and sassiness to your look. You will be ready to jet and enjoy your evening!

Party Hardy

So you are invited to a fun party and don't want to show up too under or over dressed. Need a solution? Grab the destroyed denim and add a vest to create a super chic look. I'm ALL about vests this season! Here's a great option for you to try ((SHOP HERE)). Pair it with a striped tunic to add a pattern and more dimension to your look ((OPTION HERE)). I added my favorite peep toe mules to stylize this outfit, but any pair of awesome heels will do! 

You will be the princess of the party while looking super hot too!

{{Black Friday Sneak Peek}}

Hi Beautiful NBG Mermaids! Do you know what the day after Thanksgiving is? That's right! Black Friday! Who's excited to shop Nobella Grace's HUGE sale? I hope you are ALL raising your hands, because I know I am! I heard there's going to be a HUGE discount along with GORGEOUS clothes to fill your closet for the rest of the holiday season! Hold on tight, because I am about to reveal some of the MUST HAVE pieces that will be available starting on Friday!

First up, this fabulous three-quarter sleeve tunic dress. I can't even tell you my reaction when I received it...I was in awe! This dress has my name written all over it! I love the black and taupe abstract pattern and the shoulders of delicate lace make this piece so beautiful and feminine. I added black leggings ((SHOP HERE)) and black buckle booties. Simple accessories are a must, because this dress is sure to steal the show!

I don't know about you all, but I will never get tired of a fun and colorful chevron print. This flirty oversized sweater cardigan is a piece you will put on and just smile. It has gorgeous fall and winter colors, but also can easily transition into the spring. This item is flexible in sizing and would even look darling with a belt to cinch the waistline. I added the ever popular destroyed denim jeans ((SHOP HERE)), a black tank underneath, and black motorcycle boots. This outfit will get you compliments over and over again.

Last, but certainly not least...this red, black, and emerald aztec print mini dress. WOW is all that I can say. When I first received it, I was nervous. I had never worn a dress this form fitting before, but once I put it on, I was so impressed! Kristi does not disappoint when she picks out items. She picks items she knows you will love and feel amazing in. This dress does just that! It hugs all the right curves! It is super soft and a stretchy knit fabric. I added black leggings ((SHOP HERE)) and booties for this look as well as my favorite Jewel Tones and Glam Punk Bracelet from Metal Marvels! I can DEFINITELY see this look in my date night outfit rotation! It is sure to impress!

{{Comfy + Cozy}}

Hi Nobella Grace Mermaids! Temperatures are finally dropping here in Arizona and I can't wait to bundle up in some comfy clothes! Here are my favorite Nobella Grace Comfy + Cozy looks that I will be rocking all through fall and winter!

Not Your Average Top in Royal ((SHOP HERE))

Fair Isle Leggings in Royal Blue ((SHOP HERE))

I seriously love this outfit! The top is long enough to wear with leggings and it's a gorgeous royal blue hue! The leggings are super soft, high waisted, and a fabulous knit material. The pattern is fun and very Nordic. Perfect for the upcoming season!! Rock this outfit with combat boots like I did or pair with some black flats. Either way, you will be ready to cozy up with your favorite book, but you will be looking super chic while you do it!

Gold Coast Oversized Hoodie in Charcoal ((SHOP PINK HERE))

Destroyed Denim Jeans ((SHOP HERE))

If you don't have a throw on and go hoodie, this one NEEDS to be in your closet! I love the length! It can be worn with leggings or jeans. These destroyed denim jeans are my favorite jeans EVER and that says a lot because I have TONS of jeans. They are soft and stretchy, not restricting like most jeans can be. They pair so well with this hoodie and even though charcoal is sold out, pink is still available! This outfit is perfect for errands or just a chill hang out day! Throw on your comfy shoes and you are ready to go!

Nobella Grace Tank ((SHOP HERE))

Rae Cardi- Currently Sold Out ((SHOP OUTERWEAR HERE))

Denim Skinnies ((SHOP HERE))

This tank is so much fun to wear! It's super soft, has the cutest message, and I love navy and pink paired together. It also happens to go perfectly with the Rae Cardi, which is colorful and a beautiful length. Even though this particular cardi is sold out, check out the Outerwear section on Nobella Grace's website. So many beautiful cardis that will go perfectly with any graphic tee! To finish this look, I grabbed my denim skinnies that literally go with everything! I also threw on my comfy cognac studded flats to complete the look. This outfit is perfect for a day out and about or an evening in. You will stay warm, but look super cute too!
