Five Fabulous Finds

It’s time for another round of 5 FABULOUS FINDS, and y’all, this is a good one! I’ve got a little bit of everything for you today… a darling holiday cardigan, a cozy sweater dress, a sporty little pullover, a classic sweater, and a hair care duo that’s going to give your locks some serious shine. These are the kinds of finds that make me excited to shop, get dressed, get ready, and share all the goodness with y’all.

Let’s get right to it because I think you’re going to love all five.

1) fair isle cardigan  / 2) sweater dress / 3) quarter zip sweatshirt / 4) Olaplex Two Ways to Shine Set / 5) relaxed crewneck sweater

FAIR ISLE CHRISTMAS CARDIGAN

Well, if this isn’t the CUTEST little Christmas cardigan, I don’t know what is! I am absolutely smitten. The cream background is so classic, but the colorful Christmas trees, festive Fair Isle pattern, and pops of pink make it extra special. And can we talk about the adorable little pom-pom details on top of the trees?!? SO FUN! I also love the contrasting trim, the pretty buttons down the front, and the festive detailing on the cuffs. It’s just HAPPY! Pair it with your favorite jeans and booties for an easy holiday outfit, or dress it up with a cute skirt for a Christmas party. And because it’s a cardigan, you can wear it buttoned up like I have here or open over a simple tee. This one is festive, feminine, and just plain DARLING! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

CLASSIC RELAXED FIT CREWNECK

Well, HELLO GORGEOUS! Could this pink sweater be any prettier?!? I’m absolutely loving this color, but it actually comes in over 40 colors. That’s right, FORTY!  I’m wearing the “prism pink”, and it appears much more muted on the Nordstrom site, but I think my picture is actually more representative of the actual color.

It’s one of those simple, classic pieces that instantly makes you feel good. I love the crewneck, the relaxed fit, and the pretty ribbed detailing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. It’s easy and effortless and so forgiving. It would really be the perfect sweater to wear for Thanksgiving. And can we talk about how fabulous it looks with a colorful statement necklace?!? I mean, COME ON! This is the kind of sweater that you’ll wear on repeat because it’s so easy to style. Dress it up with trousers and pretty jewelry or keep it casual with jeans and sneakers. And while I’m loving it for fall and winter, this pretty pink will transition beautifully into spring too! It’s classic, feminine, and the perfect little pop of HAPPY for your wardrobe. For size reference, I’m wearing a small and I should have ordered an x-small, so definitely size down 1 size and consider sizing down 2. My other colors (I own 3 other ones in black, toasted brown, and electric green) are all x-small and they are still plenty roomy, I just forgot I sized down 2 sizes.

Oh, and the sweater is NOW ON SALE in almost all 40 colors!

Speaking of sale… y’all know I love my beaded necklaces from Baublebar. I’m wearing the multi here, but I also own this exact necklace in olive and turquoise and wear all 3 of them all the time. Right now you can get 20% off 2+ Beaded Layers for a limited time. Discount auto-applied in cart

SWEATER DRESS

OH MY WORD. This sweater dress is EVERYTHING I want in a fall and winter outfit! I mean, cozy, comfy, effortlessly chic, AND you get to wear it with tall boots?!? SIGN ME UP! I absolutely love the rich charcoal color, the relaxed fit, and the chunky ribbed detailing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. And the slightly blousy sleeves are such a pretty touch! It’s one of those pieces that looks totally put together but feels like you’re wearing your favorite oversized sweater. It’s perfect for a date night, church, or even Thanksgiving festivities! It’s simple, it’s classic, it’s cozy, and it’s the kind of outfit that makes getting dressed SO EASY. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I will say it runs a bit on the short side, so keep that in mind if you have a really long torso or really long legs. But keep in mind if you are worried about the length, you could definitely wear tights with the dress to make it more modest.

Use code ZS-STMTHOLIDAY15 for 15% OFF the sweater dress. Discount codes are valid for first time customers, one use per customer. Discount codes cannot be combined with gift cards or other codes.

Also, in case you’re interested in borrowing designer bags from Vivrelle (I’ve had so much fun doing it!), you need to know that the code SHEAFFERSIMS will get you 80% OFF your first month. This Goyard bag is the 4th or 5th bag I’ve borrowed, and I love getting to carry bags that I wouldn’t personally spend the money to buy.

And y’all. I’m in love with my NEW favorite tall black boots. I’m sometimes a 6 1/2, sometimes a 7. I ordered the 6 1/2, but I think I wish I would have ordered the 7s. They’re pricey, but they are beautifully made and you will wear them for years and years to come.

And I love that you can switch up the look with different boots and accessories.

Here I grabbed the LV crossbody that I originally borrowed from Vivrelle (click HERE to see lots of LV inventory), but then I ended up buying it (for a reduced price) because I loved it so much. I seriously couldn’t help myself, and I’m so glad it’s mine now.

And these STUNNING chocolate brown suede boots with the gold buckle are the newest addition to my closet (thank you to Dolce Vita for sending both pairs to me!). The reviews on these are fantastic, and they are truly gorgeous. Just like the black boots above… I’m sometimes a 6 1/2, sometimes a 7. I ordered the 6 1/2, but I think I wish I would have ordered the 7s. They’re pricey, but WORTH IT.

And even though the browns don’t totally match up, I knew I was going to love this bubble hem jacket thrown on top. I thought everything still looked great together with all of the warm neutral vibes. You probably remember this jacket from last month because I dedicated an entire post to it and styled it in several different outfits.

SIZING TIP: For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It’s very slouchy, but I love it like this. If you want it less slouchy, I would definitely suggest that you size down. A small would for sure fit me and still be roomy.

It’s a faux suede, but it could have fooled me, and it looks so much more expensive than it is. I’m telling you that this easily looks like a $300 jacket and it is going to be a staple for so many of us this fall. We are all going to be reaching for it again and again.

And remember, if you’re a first-time customer, you can use the code ZS-STMTHOLIDAY15 for 15% OFF your purchase (which includes this jacket).

OLAPLEX TWO WAYS TO SHINE SET

Okay, let’s talk about SHINY HAIR! Because who doesn’t want gorgeous, glossy, healthy-looking locks?!?

This Olaplex Two Ways to Shine Set is such a fun little duo, and I love that you get TWO products that work together to give your hair a beautiful and polished finish!

You get the No. 7 Bonding Oil, which helps smooth frizz, boost shine, and protect against heat. I bought small amounts of this product to my towel dried hair before I dry it and style it. Even after the very first use, I noticed a difference! Full disclosure, years ago I used to never use heat protectant on my hair, but now I cannot imagine leaving that step out. I want to keep my hair looking healthy and shiny as long as possible, and to do that, I have to use products that help protect it!

You also get the Shine Serum Oil Mist for an extra dose of glossy goodness. So I use the bonding oil to help tame flyaways and smooth my ends, and then finish with the mist on my styled hair for a really pretty, light-catching shine. It’s the perfect little finishing touch whether you’re wearing your hair straight or curled. And can we talk about what a great gift this would make?!? Such a fun treat for your mom, sister, girlfriend, or YOURSELF! Because fabulous hair is always a good idea!

Use code SHEAFFER15 for 15% OFF this set.

QUARTER ZIP PULLOVER

Okay, this quarter zip sweatshirt is just TOO CUTE and NOW ON SALE!!! I love every single thing about it. The cream, burgundy, and bright pink color combinations so good, but it comes in solids and another color block option (in blues) as well. It’s sporty, preppy, and totally adorable all at the same time. I love the contrasting color block design, the quarter-zip neckline, and that fabulous pop of pink on the inside of the collar. Such a fun little detail!

The relaxed fit and slightly blousy sleeves give it that effortlessly casual look that I love. And can we talk about how versatile it is?!? I styled it two different ways so you can see just how easy it is to wear. Throw it on with leggings and sneakers for running errands, school drop-off, or a casual weekend, OR pair it with your favorite jeans for a cute and comfy everyday outfit. It’s the kind of piece you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again because it’s just SO EASY to wear. Casual, comfy, sporty, and CUTE AS CAN BE! I’m a total fan. For size reference, I’m wearing a small, so definitely size down 1.

I totally love it with jeans too.

Remember when I first showed you this sweatshirt in a couple of outfit plans…

I LOVE it with the wide leg sweatpants.

Here I took the same quarter zip and paired it with some straight leg jeans. I changed up the colors of the big tote (SO CUTE in the chocolate brown with the pop of pink!), and I think these sneakers are fabulous.

And remember… the bracelet, tote, and pouch are all ON SALE RIGHT NOW!
