Hi there!

The upside of spending so much time at home is getting to wear cozy loungewear, amiright?! This post has everything from cute loungewear (which makes me excited to change from my pajamas to my workout clothes into these cute sets) to cozy looks for winter into spring that are real clothes, but still comfy. I’m on board for the cute cropped puffer jacket trend (the one I am wearing that is floral is one of my faves ever and super cute boho vibes). I’m also loving the shacket look, and the one I tagged is inexpensive and great quality. Shop all these looks on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page as well, or on here.

The first look is my matching knit lounge set in white that was literally $14 and is still available. I’m wearing a small and I’m 5’6” tall and wear a small top and a 4 pant (I’m a 2 or 4 dress size depending on the brand). It’s great quality for this price and I recommend it. The other white set from a past post that is also from this brand was a little cheaper material and much baggier so I wouldn’t recommend it as much. Nasty Gal has great sets for great prices but some of them run SO big and the material is cheap. Make sure you look closely at the pics before purchasing. I only share what I love -I’m not going to share something I don’t totally love with you guys. The slippers are linked here too, and I have all my Amazon faves I talk about in stories and posts linked on my Amazon shop or you can shop them on @liketoknow.it app so follow me there!

The second look includes the long knit cardigan I also threw on top of the first look set (it’s older and sold out from Nordstrom so I linked a similar one that is even better pricing). Alternative links are always on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page with varying options retailers and price points of what I wore! The knit joggers are SO comfy and warm and they are from H&M’s conscious collection which means it’s made from recycled materials. H&M always takes your used garments for recycling if you ever need to know of somewhere to drop off donations. My white tee is also so soft and I have a bunch of them they fit like bodysuits which are right on trend. The slippers are always a big fave of yours. I’ve bought these a bunch and wear them all the time!

In look #3 I’m in the same white tee, cozy fuzzy slippers, and knit joggers with an awesome Amazon find long cardigan that is such great quality and so affordable! I love the neutrals look as it’s always chic and this one has the fun cheetah print in neutral colors for a pop of a fun print. It’s a sweater dress cardigan, which I didn’t have one quite this long before and it can be worn to stay in or go out as any of these looks can!

Look #4 is another I’m loving and wearing often: the matching sweatpants and hoodie lounge set. It’s also from the conscious collection and the material is SO GOOD and soft. Super affordable, too. I’m posting a reel soon I made with ways to dress up the “current uniform” sweats set that adds a pop of color and fun to your neutrals (ie: a great blazer or long coat on top and accessories). See the pic below for the H&M spring long coat I just picked up that totally elevates the sweats and makes the whole look so chic! All the H&M finds have been on sale recently, on the US and Canada sites. My LoveShackFancy Superga sneaks made an appearance and my Gucci mule slides for this dress-up reel video too (I tagged second hand alternatives on LIKEtoKNOW.it also, since this is how I often buy a designer item if I go the designer route)! An accessory like my older (thrifted find but I found a similar one linked here) Chanel ice cube bag statement purse and great sunnies like my Gucci sunglasses instantly dress up an outfit too! My hoop earrings in all the looks so far are Ettika. My code carolina10 gets you 10% off!

Look #5 down on the photos is my Free People famous tunic dupe that is SO much cheaper and such great quality: another Amazon find! This sweater comes in tons of colors and is under $30! I styled it with my fave Nordstrom Spanx leggings and my fave moto boots (mine are a dupe for the ones I tagged, purchased in a small boutique in Paris a couple years ago). My double hoop earrings are also Ettika. The backpack is the Chanel Gabrielle and here’s a link to a second-hand cute version!

Look #6 is the cropped zip puffer trend but this one isn’t plain black like the London Rag one I shared before (they have some cute colors like grey and white on the site too, always use code Car20 for an additional 20% off that can be combined with any existing promotion), and instead is a soft sweater material and a floral print. This is a Forever 21 find and I’m obsessed with it. I love the bohemian feel and girly too. I paired it with older Free People joggers (linked alternatives on LIKEtoKNOW.it & one alternative here) and a fave white Adidas sneaker my Hubby got me a while back. I linked a similar one.

Look #7 of the photos above is the shacket trend. I gave that a go with this great one from F21 that is so affordable and great quality. It is a soft felt-like material and goes great as shirt or jacket. I’m in a small and it’s oversized and fits loosely as I want it to. I paired it with a black Nordstrom turtleneck and Spanx leggings as well as my fave JCrew rain boots as it’s been snowing a bit lately and the streets are slushy. My Chanel Gabrielle backpack (a second hand find from a while ago) is one of my faves too it’s so easy to wear and not fussy.

Finally, the last look above is my white teddy coat I shared in an older blog post last winter but I found similar alternatives, one of which is linked (but you can find more of them on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page). The one I linked above is on sale! I paired it with the same shacket in the pic above it (more shacket options on my LTK page too), my fave flare corduroy pants (comes in many colors), a band tee, and ribbed knit beanie as well as my fave moto boots (less expensive options linked on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page as well). My jewelry is Ettika & you can take 10% off with code Carolina10.

Loungewear But Make it Fun

Hi there!

With the weather starting to feel chilly and more like fall, I really love cozy loungewear. I’ve included two looks I love that elevate your loungewear vibes. They are comfortable but different and a lot of fun.

The first look is a tie dye set from Vici Collection, where you can look stylish while wearing a super soft Beachy tie dye hoodie and jogger set. Note the link I included above is for other tie dye sets since mine is out of stock but there are plenty of similar ones available. The slippers are Amazon fashion! So comfy and with memory foam as well as the fuzzy goodness. Then the second look I call “loungewear but make it fashion” where you can be a tad extra while sitting at home on your zoom meeting. The pants are by my girl crush brand “Bohemian Groove on the Move” who founded their company out of an airstream which couldn’t be more cute and bohemian. She typically travels with the store (you can also shop online) but she is currently based in the Palm Beach, Florida area. You can also DM her on Instagram to place orders! The Bowie top is a second hand score off of Poshmark at my fave Posh reseller’s closet: Randi with “@rollingrackposh.” Join the Poshmark app to shop my Poshmark closet @poshlina7 and if you use my link to join you get $10 to shop with!

I hope you’re all staying safe and healthy! With all this added time at home these days I thought it would be fun to put together this edit.Who said you can’t get dressed up to go nowhere?

Stay at home looks

Hi there!

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. I’ve been spending a lot of time in my new home of Toronto, and doing many different stay at home activities including Spell’s stay at home series, and other brands as I mentioned in my last post! I love the cooking classes (including immunity truffles, see my IG’s “isolation inspiration” highlight reel for more), exercise classes, skincare lives, and more.

One of my absolute favorite at home looks was a recent purchase from Vici Dolls called the “Positano French Terry Knit Pullover” and marching “Positano French Terry Knit Shorts.” I’m wearing the pullover in a small and the shorts in a medium (I’m a size 2 dress and 4 pant and I’m 5’6” tall). It’s so romantic and bohemian at the same time and I feel so cozy!

In the photos below I was tired of wearing joggers or sweats and sweaters so I put on my fave Spell Dahlia jumpsuit (I blogged about this piece before in the Joshua Tree Jumpsuit post) which is now ON SALE! Go snag it on their website. Share with me on IG what your fave at home looks have been!

Xo,

Carolina
