Opened up my inbox to an amazing surprise! Bergdorfs is having a beauty sale! I did a quick little round-up of some great finds and items I’ll be shopping. Let me know if you decide to get anything in the comments below.
I’m so excited that Shopbop has launched beauty! What’s the most ideal about it? They ship so fast. I usually can get my Shopbop orders within 3-5 days where Sephora and Ulta can sometimes take longer. Also, I can shop sweaters and restock my favorite sunscreen at the same time. Just kind of ideal! Put together a little round up of products I use or am excited are now available at Shopbop. Have you shopped beauty at Shopbop yet? Let me know!
If you’ve been around long enough, you know I’m very much a neutrals type of girl. Give me whites, creams, blacks - I live for them! I just love the elegance of neutrals and how it’s so easy to pick out outfits when you’re working with minimal color. Playing on textures, structure, and volume is where all the fun comes in. Love a fluid pants with a tight high neck tee, or an oversized cream sweater with black stirrup leggings and ballet flats. Simple yet chic! So I pulled up some neutral-style pictures that are looks I would love to recreate.
ESSENTIALS are key here. You probably have these pieces in your closet already but if you don’t I’m linking some that I love or have.
WHITE BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT. I love this white button-down shirt from Jenni Kayne. The weight of it is super nice and I like how structured it is without being stiff. (Shop more Button-down Shirts here)
WHITE TANK TOP. Also great to have in grey and black. You’d think this would be an easy buy but sometimes I find it difficult to find one that fits correctly. A lot of tanks are super low on the sides and momma needs to wear a bra now all the time post-baby (haha). I love the high neck of Toteme tanks like this one. This Free People tank top is also super cute and a great staple. I love the ribbed detailing and scoop neck that isn’t too low. (Shop more tank tops here)
TAN/CREAM PANTS. Another great staple. I know a lot of women find light pants intimidating but I think paying close attention to fabric and fit is key here. I love linen pants but I know they can veer toward the see-through side so finding a pair that’s a cotton blend or viscose is the route you want to go. I like cotton for the structure and viscose is great if you want something more fluid. These Vince high-waisted pleated trousers and perfect. I have them in my shopping bag now and hoping to purchase them as soon as I can. I always love Vince for pants. They are so good at crafting well-fitted pants in great colors. They are definitely a go-to for me! (Shop more Vince Pants here)
CREAM SWEATER. Like I said, playing on design and structure can make an ordinary cream sweater much more exciting. I’ve been living in this Brochu Walker Off the Shoulder Sweater. It has a beautiful neckline and is so soft. I love their sweaters and how they make all their styles in neutral colors and some fun colors too for my colorful ladies! (Shop more Brochu Walker here or on their Website and get 15% off with my discount code mindykoenigsfeld15).
THE CLASSIC TRENCH COAT. Obviously very obsessed with this Balenciaga trench coat Hailey Beiber is wearing but sadly for me, I don’t have 3k to spend on one coat. However, investing in a good trench coat is definitely a must. I’ve heard stories of friends finding vintage Burberry coats in thrift stores but if you’re not one of those lucky few, lots of brands are creating this classic style. I can always count on Toteme to make a great coat. A little more budget-friendly? This one from Anine Bing is beautiful and COS is always a great option as well. (Shop more Trench Coats here)
A couple other neutral must haves, a good white tshirt, brown leather belt, white sneakers, and black ballet flats.
What’s your favorite neutral piece?

Spring is just around the corner! We’re spending out last Spring in Hawaii and I am soaking it all up. Refreshing my wardrobe with some staples. Just ordered these beautiful Givenchy cat-eye sunglasses. They feel very modern Holly Golightly and I don’t have any all-black sunglasses so I figured it was time. I’m obsessed with The Row’s half-moon bag, it’s definitely on my wishlist. Same with these Emme Parsons leather sandals, I’ve had them on my wishlist for a while and almost snagged them on sale but they sold out in my cart. I was so bummed! But c’est la vie - I’m sure I’ll come around to trying to order them again. The leather is a dream and I love this camel-colored leather.
I discovered this brand Agua Bendita and I’m obsessed. I’m not normally a prints type girl but these are so subtle and the color palettes are stunning. I’m hoping to get my hands on one of their pieces soon.
I’m still daydreaming about our trip to Lanai. It honestly was such a dream so I’ve been lighting this Boy Smells candle to remind me of that beautiful tropical escape we had last month. Boy Smells candles are some of my favorite candles. They burn so beautifully and their scent last even after blowing out the candle. Highly recommend.
Any fun goodies on your Spring wishlist?

I know so many of us make New Year’s resolutions that revolve around bettering ourselves. Less screen time, drinking more water, I feel like I add those to my list every year, along with bettering my workout journey. To be honest, if I have a spare hour, I would rather take a nap than work out but that isn’t always possible so I’ve started doing small things like just stretchy or meditating when I have even 10 minutes.
I think short more achievable goals is what I aim for and when I told myself I don’t need to block out an entire 45 minutes to do a work out, it lessened the ‘shame’ I felt when I wouldn’t get to it. What also helps? New workout wear. Something you’ll get excited to put on even if you end up just running to the grocery store with it haha. At the end of last year, I purposely got rid of an embarrassing amount of college workout clothes with my beloved CU Buffs logo on it. Don’t worry, I kept the good stuff but I didn’t need student government t-shirts and shorts from 2010. So here are some cute pieces to add to your wardrobe to get you motivated to just move your body! Some days you don’t need anything crazy, I mean - I chase a toddler around the house all day…that’s a workout!
