I could not wait to share with you all about this new to me line of clothing – NYDJ. As you know, I have been trying to build a smarter wardrobe with pieces I will wear more than a few times, and that are high quality (and ethically made if possible!).

NYDJ offers a range of styles in activewear, work wear, and everyday wear. I can’t get over how well made the pieces are. Super feminine, flattering, and with the extra details that leave your jaw to the floor. For instance…

(Wearing the Window pane cardigan, Novelty Collar Blouse, and Herringbone sculpted skirt)

The button downs and skirts have built in shapewear that are more than welcomed after having a baby;) It’s a lightweight and form fitting layer that you soon forget is even there. Another favorite detail is the double collar in this Fit Solution Blouse. A very stylish parisian element that completely changed my perspective on the basic button down. The checked cardigan is double sided with a reverse black and white pattern on the inside. It makes for a super soft and thick material built to last much longer than a season.

(Wearing the Farrah Flare denim, Tuxedo blouse, and Plaid Cape)

NYDJ has a patented criss cross panel inside their denim line. which I found to be intuitive to a woman’s natural shape. I have rarely found a high-waisted pair of denim that doesn’t completely swallow me whole. I find their sizing more accurate than the common industry standards, which was very refreshing (go a size down in their denim! ;)).  

(Wearing the City/Sport Leggings and Cocoon Cardigan)

For activewear, I look for pieces that are both breathable and supportive, which I loved about these active and loungewear  pieces. The City/Sport Yoga Leggings have a higher panel than most activewear pants so it gives abdomen support in a comfortable way. That being said, I have worn them non-stop over the weekend.

I had so much fun getting to style a few looks to share, and completely fell in love with their comfort level and modern classic vibe. You can check out the rest of the NYJD line here.

I never gave much thought to the month of September since it is an in between month. One that ends a season and anticipates a new one. This year however, I have come to love this highly under-appreciated month;) The evenings are cooler and we can open the windows and let the breeze in. We can squeeze in a few more summer things before dabbling into all things fall….like some of my favorite clothing pieces (ankle boots and the oversized sweater)!

Gabe got me a pair of Ugg Classics a few years ago and I wear them around the house every fall/winter. It is like wearing a pair of pillows. I went into the store to check out what was new, and couldn’t believe the diverse range of styles. I must have saved 10 pairs of black ankle boots to my online cart last year and could never commit because I wasn’t crazy about any of them. However, this pair was love at first sight. All that I had been hoping for in a black bootie (including that comfort level). Also loved the color palate to the UGG classics collection. Buttons and bows…they must know the way to captivate a gal’s attention. It was nice to be able to wear the black boots out to a meeting and then slip into the comfort pair when I got home. After my little ones are in bed, I get a little time to relax with Gabe, and all I crave is a good read, (Btw, I don’t get to read magazines often, but when I do this mag has my favorite articles.) and a place to kick up my feet. I think these boots might do the trick.  VIEW FULL POST
