One of the best gifts I have received in recent years were two Burberry quilted jackets from my mom. She got me a classic tan and a metallic silver during my freshman year at Georgetown. It was such a thoughtful gift and definitely one of the more luxurious ones! I’m a big fan of practical gifts… like when I asked my parents for a Cox Box– Google it– for my eighteenth birthday so I could have my own for crew practices…. however, there is something extra special about getting something so glamorous that I wouldn’t dream of buying myself. I still have and wear the jackets and always feel so special when I wear them. (Plus, because I live far away, it feels like a little hug from my mom every time I put one on!)
I think Burberry makes for an extra special, not-your-everyday gift! They have great options for men, women, and children. (If you have a little girl, how cute is this!!!)
A great idea is one of the Burberry scarves. I thought this option was perfect. It’s not quite the traditional plaid, but still has that Burberry check! It is so soft and I love how extra long it is. Talk about cozy. The scarf would also work as a gorgeous shawl if tied around your shoulders!
I’ve always thought Ivanka Trump shoes were amazing, but these totally take the cake. Talk about perfect for the holidays.
I have a burberry quilted jacket that I love. There are always great deals on a few burberry things during the annual sale too and the things that I've scooped up I find myself wearing again and again! I have the ballet flats and a trench too that is perfect for the british weather here in London!
Ok, this is by far one of your best outfit posts Carly! Everything about it just works! Also, I love the fact that you asked for a cox box for your birthday; it is so much nicer to have your own and know that it's charged up and ready to go
You look so gorgeous! I ended up finding the black drop-waist dress on J. Crew Factory and I'm crossing my fingers it gets here in time for tomorrow's festivities 🙂 Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
This is gorgeous! They are such simple pieces and make such a statement. Love how you used a non-traditional Burberry colour scheme! Also you should use the second shot as a new headshot – it is very beautiful 🙂 Thanks for the holiday inspiration! undergradgoods.blogspot.ca
This outfit is gorgeous! I love the Burberry scarf and those red heels! What a way to add a pop of colour into your outfit! xoxo, Suehey http://landssunshinestate.blogspot.com/
This look is still just as gorgeous and classic today–2 years later! I can’t believe it was really that long ago when you came out with this post. I had only been reading for about a year at that point.
I know this post is primarily about Burberry, but those red pumps are killer on you! Uber sexy. *Love* the last pic… I’m betting the cabbie didn’t mind waiting as you crossed the road! 🙂
When a stranger offers to take a photo of you and your boys and it ends up being a framer 🫶🏻🥹 Jack is at the perfect age for fun adventures like a trip to the farm (and not just any ole farm, @oldmcdonaldhasafarm!). 🌽 🐄 🐷 👩🏻🌾 We fed the cows, played with the kittens, said hello to bunnies, watched piggies race, saw one month old calves… so much fun for an almost three year old! (And Rory is more than happy to come along for the ride!)

The night this photo was taken was one of the most beautiful evenings– we had dinner with our friends outside at Millie’s. Taking turns bouncing Rory and keeping Jack on track to eat his dinner. I couldn’t tell you a single thing that was discussed between rushed bites and standing up and sitting back down only to stand back up again. (In my memory, I was just completely preoccupied with trying to keep Rory out of the sun.) When the final drop of our margaritas were sipped and the last chip with guacamole was consumed, we all got up to go catch the sunset on the beach– bedtimes be damned! As we were walking, my brother in law carrying Rory and Jack on Mike’s shoulders (I was trailing behind with my phone snapping pictures), a man walked by us and said “it may not seem like it, but these are the best days of your life.” He got choked up telling us about his children; I got choked up thinking about how lucky we are. The air was cool and the sun was painting the sky with cotton candy colors and I said to Mike, “I’m so overwhelmed all the time but it’s the best kind of overwhelm.” I feel like I’m drowning most days– there’s always more to do and less time to do it in– and I’m touched out and overstimulated and my brain is most definitely mush. And they’re still the very best days. 🫶🏻
I’m Carly! I have been creating content online for over fifteen years- I started my blog my freshman year of college and now I’m a 34 year old mom of two little boys.
Right now I am finding the sweet spot of mothering and working. I am creating a magical, simple childhood for my boys while still finding time to do things that fill my own cup like working out, reading, practicing photography, and needlepointing.
I feel best when I put on a cute outfit in the morning and a tiny bit of makeup and have my hair blown out… but I also want to be comfortable and I am embracing my wrinkles and I’m letting my hair go grey.
My dream is to own a bookstore (one day!!), I am a huge homebody (major JOMO), and I’d love for to follow along! 🫶🏻
I've always wanted to try out the Ivanka Trump shoes and yes those are pretty. Love your outfit, so simple and elegant!

Your Mom bought you two $600 coats? That's insanity. Cute scarf though.
