AirEssentials Half Zip curated on LTK

One of my go to Work From Home outfits on gloomy/cooler days-the tapered pants make me feel more put together but I’m basically in the most luxurious loungewear in the market. The pants run big-I sized down to an XS. Wearing a small in the top. They both come in several other color options. Sadly my moccasin slippers are sold out. When Joyspun releases their slippers in the fall-DON’T wait on them!!

A full day on the Biltmore Estate…what was supposed to be just lunch at The Creamery turned into an impromptu decision to tour the Chihuly exhibit and check out the grounds of the Biltmore House. Words don’t do any of it justice!

If I had known we were going to do a whole walking tour I would have worn my white sneakers and not heeled booties but it worked out ok. The dress is very loose and flowy (and comes in lots of other colors and prints) so I decided to belt it. The crossbody bag came in handy-especially with an outer slip pocket for easy access to my phone. Get the bag 20% off with code MARNIE20.

Travel day and first day in Asheville is in the books. We were up at 4 am to catch an early flight into town & then spent most of the day waiting for our room, so it was all about a versatile travel outfit I could wear to walk around the hotel and grounds, lunch and a casual dinner. We were SO tired!! We’re staying at the Inn at the Biltmore and it’s the most elegant hotel I’ve ever seen. We drove around the grounds of Biltmore (which is so stunning I forgot to take pictures), spent time in the Village, met up with the bride and groom, had dinner in the hotel’s Library Lounge and called it an early night so we will be well rested for a full day of touring and wedding celebrations the next day! As I was washing my face I realized the rose in a vase on the bathroom vanity is real and smells divine! All the little touches here take it to the next level!

These are my go to, most used sunless tanning products. Most of the year I use the dark option, but if you already have a medium skin tone I would go with the ultra dark or platinum options. I love to ultra dark in the summer. Can’t say enough good things about the gradual tanner to extend and deepen my fake tan!

I took a $15 cotton sun dress and added a linen blazer, suede espadrilles and a small linen tote to wear to a business meeting last week…and every woman there wanted to know where I got my dress (Walmart!!)! When I got home, I ditched the jacket (it was 90°), threw on some slides and put my hair up for the rest of the day. I love an easy versatile piece! I’m wearing the dress and blazer in size XS-they’re both roomy. The dress has a drawstring waist and pockets and comes in several other colors. The blazer also comes in several other colors and there is a vest and pants to match from the same collection if you want more of a suiting option.

I’ve had this dress since March and I’ve been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it-and it was perfect for Mother’s Day brunch! It has an a-line shape so it’s not too clingy (roomy enough to fully enjoy a buffet brunch). Paired it with my favorite pumps and a lightweight cardigan because holy air conditioning!

The day was almost perfect-our older son was in Houston so I was batting .500 on kids in attendance but it was still a fantastic day! Feeling loved and appreciated is always a good day! Now on to the rest of the week!

If you’re looking for a comfortable easy sandal that will work with all your summer casual outfits, look no further! These sandals from @clarksoriginals on @qvc come in whole and half sizes, 6 colors and are SO comfy but still stylish. I couldn’t pass up the beige with the gold buckle. They run true to size and I love the molded cushioned footbed and espadrille styling on the soles. Has a slight 1.5 inch heel so they’re not completely flat either. If you’re seeing this on May 12, they’re a QVC TSV for $58.98 (usually $90) and if you’re a first time customer use code WELCOMEQ15 to get $15 off an order of $35 or more!

Yes, this is the oddest combination of pieces that does not necessarily make for a cohesive outfit, so let’s look at it piece by piece.

The cardigan is very similar to my favorite soft striped one but comes in several solid colors. Great to have for cold commercial spaces.

The crochet v neck tank is STUNNING. Runs TTS, wearing size small, not see through and bra-friendly.

The CROPPED pants are too short for anyone 5’3” and up but are PERFECT for truly petite ladies looking for a slightly cropped pant. I’ve also linked the full length version for the longer legged ladies.

I love the fit of this two piece set, but I think I would recommend one of the many other colors that it comes in, at least for me. Runs TTS, LOVE the style and fit of the pants. I think it’s most flattering worn over a fitted tank

Most people think of layering for colder weather, but here in San Antonio I need layers once all the stores, restaurants and office buildings start cranking up the AC and the outside temps hit 90°. So, for a recent evening out, I put together this outfit that worked inside and out! The blazer is a slightly oversized linen blend, the knit tank underneath comes in the most gorgeous jewel tones, and the jeans are a bit cropped and are a lighter weight denim. Throw in some summer accessories like new sunnies, sandals and a linen mini tote and you’re all set!

Sizing:
Blazer-XS
Tank-Small
Jeans-27
Sandals-TTS

Tis the season to show off your patriotism! From Memorial Day to Flag Day to the 4th of July, @maurices has you covered with their Americana collection!

Green, red or blue-which one are you? You don’t actually have to choose because each of these cute tops from @shop_avara’s new summer collection come in at least one other color!

Some notes on each piece: the green has the cutest scalloped hem, I got my regular size but if you want it less fitted and a little more length, size up one. It looks see through when it arrives but it isn’t! No need to layer.

The red striped top is a nice elevated twist on a striped tee-also comes in blue.

The blue striped top has a French Terry lining and a cute twist detail on the puffed sleeves.

The adorable raffia block heel sandals are also part of their new collection!

I wore this dress last night to the Installation Service for our synagogue’s new senior rabbi, not even realizing that it was Cinco de Mayo. The reception afterwards even went with the Cinco de Mayo theme with Mexican food for dinner, a mariachi band and tequila shots! A little unexpected for a Sunday night but I say celebrate the joyous occasions when you can!!

This dress is a silk cotton blend, machine washable stunner. It would be great for Mother’s Day, graduations, or just because it’s so pretty you need it. Wearing it in their size 000 (which translates to a size 2/XS).

I found the absolutely perfect lightweight cardigan for spring and summer! The knit fabric is a mesh style-so plenty of ventilation-and it zips from both the top and the bottom so you can customize the shape and how you layer it. I love it as a throw on layer over sleeveless tops and dresses when you’re going from the outside heat to a cold restaurant or office building. I layered it (size small) over a sleeveless knit summer sweater (size small) and some crop kick flare jeans (size small petite). Use code MARNIExSPANX for 10% off the jeans!

I’ve been really enjoying this tinted SPF 40 mineral sunscreen as a way to match the skin tone on my face to my body. It also comes in an untinted version!

We went out on an adventure to try out a vegan ice cream store since Michael doesn’t do well with dairy. It was…ok. 🙊

I took a basic t-shirt and jeans and threw on this cropped ponte jacket since it’s always FREEZING in ice cream stores. Now I’m annoyed with myself that I haven’t been wearing it all spring! It’s such great piece and runs TTS. I just ordered the jeans-they’re a great lightweight denim for spring and they run big so size down one. Mine are a little roomier than I’d like so I’m going to throw them in the washer and dryer and then they’ll be perfect!

APRIL 2024 CLOTHING FAVORITES
1. Yes I ordered this again-but in a lighter color with stripes! It was a great travel outfit and it’s been perfect as a work from home outfit too!
2. Speaking of travel outfits-THIS one is hands down the best option! Wear it as shown for travel days, then add a jacket and nicer shoes for dinner or lunch out! Comes in a bunch of colors too and it’s under $40!
3. I love this striped cardigan so much. It’s the softest fabric!
4. This exact cardigan in blue is still available in a few sizes but not many, so I’ve linked the longer version as well. It’s the same fabric as outfit #2!

APRIL 2024 BEAUTY FAVORITES
1. This has been my go to neutral palette all month. It also comes in Cool Nude, this is Warm Nude.
2. If you don’t want to deal with sunless tanners, you need to check out this product. The difference between this and the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs is that this is translucent-your skin texture will show so it’s a more natural look. I have it in Light.
3. Similar to the Body Blur, but this is an SPF 40 silicone free mineral sunscreen. It also comes in a clear version but I prefer the Sunlit shade to help match my face to my fake tan body!
4. This is essentially solid lip gloss. Perfect for air travel if you have to pair down your liquids! It comes in more pigmented shades too but I love Shade 2 to layer over all my other lip products.
5. I prefer tubing mascara on hot and humid days and this newest one from Tarte is even better than the original! Use code MARNIE15 to get 15% off from Tarte. I’ve also linked it to Ulta & Sephora if you’d rather shop there!

My Favorites of the Week:
1. The most versatile and flattering t-shirt dress that comes in several neutral colors. Have it in a small. Use code MARNIExSPANX to get 10% off.

2, My current favorite readers-still oversized but a more delicate frame. Comes in multiple frame colors, different strengths and even just in blue light blockers.

3. This is the insert I use in my woven tote and LV Neverfull MM. I have the medium size.

4. The shade Screen My Calls is PERFECT!!

5. These magnetic clasps make it so easy for me to get my necklaces on and off! A total game changer!

What do you wear to run out the door? This is a great option-a t-shirt dress that hides the lumps and bumps and is a step up from basic sweats, and a chambray shirt in lieu of a denim jacket for a layer of interest and function. I first wore this in the morning with a baseball hat and sneakers, then just swapped out the shoes and did my hair for a little date night out! Use code MARNIExSPANX for 10% off the dress. Wearing size small.

I was so excited to wear this jumpsuit (this is my second one, I also have it in black) that I wore it straight out of the package! The material feels so luxurious, it’s bra-friendly, has pockets, comes in so many colors and can be dressed up or down easily. Once it’s steamed it doesn’t wrinkle easily and I wash it on cold and tumble dry on low. For those days you want to throw on and go (and maybe you haven’t shaved your legs in a few days 🙈), this is the piece you need! Bonus-it’s under $40! Wearing a small.

You all have great taste! Quite a few of these will show up in my monthly favorites video!

Left to right:
This jumpsuit feels just like the one from Spanx but comes in more colors and is less than half the price!

This viscose blend blouse is a preppy style classic. Size up one if you want an oversized look. I stayed with a small.

This two piece set is also inspired by the Spanx line. Comes in lots of colors and the pants have pockets!

This striped cardigan is the softest material and great for layering in the summer.

These mesh ballet flats run TTS but if you’re not sure, go up a half size. I’ve been living in them!
