Spring in my Step (& Promo code!)

Hi there!

I am just loving the warm weather currently. With a few more businesses opening up, I feel as if my walks aren’t just for some socially-distanced fresh air but I can get things done and I’m not just exiting the house for air or a grocery run, so my style has reflected a happy sensibility while keeping it casual.

In this look I’m wearing an oldie but never-blogged-about-before goodie: my Spell City Lights top (sans print as my maxi dress I have blogged about before) with a pair of Zara embroidered jeans and my new London Rag bag and pink slides I was recently gifted for the blog. Get 20% off sitewide at London Rag with code CAR20! These slides are the perfect comfy casual “go on a walk and run an errand” sandals and my bag is so perfect for the time we are living in as I can disinfect the plastic easily when I get back home! The added bonus: I can find my keys and wallet since it’s see-through.

I hope everyone is seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. I know the nice weather is always a HUGE perk for me!

Xo,

Carolina

New Fave band tee & Promo code

Hi there!

I picked up this NastyGal tee showcasing one of my all time fave bands: Fleetwood Mac. Free People is also selling it in off white and black, whereas NastyGal has it in pure white and black. I styled my tee with my high waisted Madewell jeans from Nordstrom (a total fave they fit so well!) and threw on a red velvet blazer I was gifted recently from LondonRag! By the way London Rag has 40% off most items on their site currently! Get an additional 20% off with my code CAR20. Nasty Gal has a 60% off site wide sale going on too! The hoops are Ettika. Carolina10 is my discount code with them.

Adding the blazer instantly dressed up the outfit and gave it a party feel. It made me feel like going to a concert but for now I’ll settle for a socially distanced walk with my husband to our fave restaurant for a pickup order and back home for date night, lol.

Stay safe guys! Thanks NastyGal for continuing to put up a Stay at Home series as well as the other brands I mentioned in a previous post. Free People Movement had a fitness week of IG lives recently and the classes from different studios were amazing!

Xo,

Carolina

Hi there!

Following my last post with comfy wear-at-home looks for self isolating whether you’re working from home or just going about your day, I wanted to add this gorgeous Spell piece to my blog. I’m obsessed with their recent “seashell collection” (I blogged about my seashell dress in sand recently) since I love everything ocean themed so I picked up the seashell robe. Here I am doing some work at home in my seashell robe. I even sat in my shell chair!

I love that it’s short unlike other robes of mine, so I styled it with my fave oldie but goodie Free People Movement joggers (they have many similar pairs online currently)!

Hope you’re staying safe and comfy!

Xo,

Carolina

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!

Carolina

Spell seashell collection

Hi there!

I hope everyone is staying safe during our quarantine time. I know my few weeks staying in has come with its set of challenges like not having my work trips or being able to travel, but I know with our collective effort we will be back to normal soon! We are all in this together.

On a trip to Portland, OR some months ago I first wore my new seashell gown by Spell. This collection is truly gorgeous, and I’m especially obsessed because of my love for ocean anything and mermaids! If you zoom in you can see the seashell and mermaid details on this dress and so much from this collection available online only currently. I’m extra in love with the fact that it’s eco friendly fabric! My love of all things mermaid and ocean stems very much from my love of preserving the environment. Spell also just had a sale on their activewear (still going!) so I treated myself for my birthday tomorrow!

Stay safe and well. @Spell IG and other brands are also offering a lot of online workouts in their lives on instagram which then stay on stories and some post to their IGTVs for a free on demand workout. My faves have been @spell, @revolve, @nastygal, and @vaaris (just launched featuring equinox, pure yoga and other workouts on demand in IGTV). I’ve also created a highlight reel called “Isolation Inspiration” on my instagram @carolinasantosread or @carolinasantosread.fashion with quotes, workouts, funny memes and more to help during isolation:)

These photos were taken by my talented friend Sarah who is a photographer in Austin, TX. Her IG is @sarah_uftring.
