I think winter white looks are so iconic; you just don’t forget them easily because they make a majorly chic statement. W by Worth has created this gorgeous winter white skirt and two-tone jacket made from an incredible crackled faux leather material that gives the outfit so much texture. My favorite way to wear winter white is paired with black to create a timeless look that pops.

This is my third W by Worth outfit and the first I’ve featured here on The Cashmere Gypsy. I love the high-quality material and their beautiful designs. The first time I wore one of their pieces I was wearing a navy blue dress during NYFW and even at the end of a ninety-five degree day walking and sweating from show to show, it looked beautiful and crisp. This outfit is no different; each time I place it back on the hanger I find myself wondering how soon I’ll be able to wear it again. I know it’s easy to be a little timid of wearing white looks, but trust me… This is one you will find yourself reaching for over and over again.

Happy Thanksgiving, darlings!

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Home

November 23, 2016

Categories: Holiday, Home

home-gift-guide

Rose Gold Frame.  Marble Frame.  Shag Pillow.  Rum Cake.  Cravings Tray.  Marble Serving Board.  Trinket Tray.  Wreath.  Candle.  Knit Throw.


Tips for Gifting Home:

  • Give them something they can use. Bath products, candles, and serving pieces are popular for a reason: everyone needs them and they are therefore gifts that can be used up or used over and over again. We all have homes overflowing with trinkets, but your loved one will appreciate a lovely-smelling candle, a marble cheese slab, or a beautiful slate tray to serve appetizers to guests.
  • Bring something scrumptious. If you’re still undecided, remember that food is a gift that will always be used! This gourmet heart-shaped rum cake is not only beautiful, it will never disappoint since any holiday host will appreciate one less item off his or her to-do list.
  • Go neutral. It can be difficult to purchase decor for someone else’s home. When in doubt, stick to neutrals. This Mongolian lamb’s wool pillow and cable-knit throw blanket are both in a beautiful shade of gray that can mix and match with nearly any decor. The champagne gold magnolia wreath is another addition anyone can use inside or outside their home.
  • Gift them something to preserve memories. I’ve found that everyone loves a photo frame; bonus points if you’ve already tucked a memorable photo inside. This 3×3 rose gold frame is perfect for documenting a favorite Instagram snap. And I think this marble frame would look amazing with a black and white travel photo inside.
  • Surprise them with something funny. I love receiving gifts that make me laugh. I found this darling little trinket tray and I think it would be the perfect gift for a friend or sister. “Champagne, s’il vous plaît”… Can’t we all relate?!

This is one of my favorite looks I’ve featured this fall. (I say that nearly every time, don’t I?! What can I say… I just truly love styling looks.) I like this one because it can really go anywhere this holiday season depending on the accessories you pair it with. It fits in at the office, can be dressed up for date night or holiday parties, and can even go a little cozy for your family activities.

I finished making my shopping list and am slowly wrapping a few gifts here and there as I find treasures for the people on my list. I can’t wait to decorate after Thanksgiving… My husband has protested me decorating the tree any sooner! When I wrap gifts or decorate our home I like to listen to something festive in the background. Can you tell me your favorite holiday playlists or tv channels for holiday movies?

Wipes.  Eye Cream.  Complexion Water.  Dry Shampoo.  Hair Spray.  Fragrance.  Cushion Makeup.  Magic Foundation.  Shadow Palette.  Brow Kit.  Lip Liner.  Lipstick.  Lip Gloss.  Earrings.


Water Babies Wipes

A special thanks to the woman I met at a recent event who told me about these treasures! I use them to remove my makeup at night and they leave my skin feeling fresh and clean without the greasy feeling so many makeup wipes leave behind. Bonus? I can use as many as I want without feeling guilty since they are so affordable.

Get Them Here.

Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream

I grabbed this when I was looking for an inexpensive eye cream and I love the larger size in comparison to so many tiny eye cream jars I’ve often used. The creamy formula moisturizes and helps to hide my fine lines and dark circles.

Get It Here.

Complexion Water

A light hydrating mist for the face made from pure essential oils of rose, sandalwood, and neroli. It smells like the most dreamy spa experience and is perfect for refreshing makeup and skin throughout the day.

Get It Here.

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo

I use this dry shampoo every day to keep my hair looking fresh between washes. It smells wonderful and the light texture doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it chalky. If you prefer a dark version for brunette roots, you can find it here.

Get It Here.

Drybar Hair Spray

This hair spray’s flexible hold makes it nice and light, preventing hard and stiff-looking styles. I love how soft and bouncy my hair feels when I use this. It’s light enough to be used throughout the day to fluff and rejuvenate hair.

Get It Here.

Chanel No. 5 L’EAU

A modern, fresh, crisp take on the original Chanel No. 5, L’EAU features notes of lemon, mandarin, and orange then unfolds into a feminine scent with rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. I love wearing this every day as it’s pretty and light without being overwhelming.

Get It Here.

Laneige BB Cushion Makeup

This light cushion makeup with SPF 50 is perfect to wear every day. I’m in the color “Light Medium” and although it’s technically a BB cream, I find this product really easy to layer and build wherever I need a little extra coverage.

Get It Here.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

This creamy, full-coverage foundation really lives up to its name. I’ve been using this as my photoshoot and evening makeup, or whenever I need a little extra coverage. Use a damp beauty blender to blend this out over skin and it will create the most beautiful, airbrushed finish.

Get It Here.

Charlotte Tilbury Eye Shadow Palette

I’ve been using this eye shadow palette in “Vintage Vamp” nonstop lately. The gold and burgundy tones are perfect for fall and winter and mix beautifully with highlighted cheeks and a rose-colored lip.

Get It Here.

Benefit Brow Zings Brow Kit

This brow kit includes both cream and powder brow color, mini tweezers, and a dual-ended brow brush. I’m in the color “3-Medium” and I use the angled side of the brow brush with both cream and powder brow products to create my brow look. I love that I have everything I need for brows in this one little kit.

Get It Here.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Liner

This lip liner in “Pillowtalk” is nearly the exact color of the lipstick I’ve linked below. The creamy texture and similar color allows me to slightly overline my lips and color them in before I apply lipstick and lip gloss, creating a nice plump look.

Get It Here.

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick

This beautiful rose-nude creamy lipstick in “Penelope Pink” is my current favorite. It’s hydrating and soft on the lips and I find that it lasts longer than most lipsticks I own. Pair with the lip liner and lip gloss I’ve linked and you’ll have a really gorgeous lip look flattering on nearly any skin tone.

Get It Here.

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme

I love the way this slightly shimmery lip gloss looks with the Charlotte Tilbury rose-nude lip duo. It really does plump lips; it tingles just a bit, then gives lip a fresh, plump look. It does work better with bare lips, but I find I still get a nice plumping effect when I layer it on top of other lip products.

Get It Here.

My heart is a creative one; it has been that way ever since I can remember. Before I could write, I narrated stories for my father to document. I spent hours creating other worlds right in the middle of the woods near the home where I grew up. And that creative spirit never left me; I began writing online as a creative outlet when I was in law school, sitting amongst piles of cases and books. By choosing to stay up at night and write during my law school years, I was usually forcing myself to survive on four hours of sleep or forgo it altogether. But writing and photography and creating content kept me sane.

The other day I was editing a contract and I laughed to myself as I thought about how everything happens for a reason and somehow comes together. That’s not to say everything is perfect; sometimes I think how much easier a traditional nine-to-five job would be. I would work less hours, it could pay more, and everything wouldn’t be resting on my shoulders. But I’ve done that and I wouldn’t be as happy… And there wouldn’t be you.

So very much of what I do is for you – my readers. This past week, I reached 25,000 followers on Instagram. And it still humbles me to know that 25,000 of you enjoy my content and like the same things I do. 25,000… More than six times the size of the town where I grew up. I’ve always felt a little different, and then I found this group of people who also love vintage inspiration and classic style and romantic decor. I see each and every ‘like’ and comment and email and it means everything to know you are there.

Over the years, I was told I couldn’t do certain things. I was told I wasn’t great at volleyball and I shouldn’t join the team. (Okay, this one was true and not playing volleyball in high school saved me a lot of embarrassment.) I was told a company I admired didn’t take interns as young as me, but I sat sweating and shaking through the interview until I got the summer internship… Then was asked to stay on part-time while I was in college. I was told I couldn’t pass the LSAT to get into law school and that I wouldn’t graduate… I swear the naysayers pushed me more than anyone else and I couldn’t have been happier as I walked across the graduation stage that day. And I’m sure you can imagine the negativity I’ve faced when I told people I wanted to blog full-time.

But that number – that 25,000 – makes me feel a lot better about any negativity I’ve experienced surrounding what I do. I know I’m on the right track and I am already dreaming up all the things I want to create for you in the near future and beyond. I want to inspire you, help you decide what trends you should embrace and which you should leave behind, share my beauty tips with you, and take you with me when I travel. I love what I do and I can’t tell you how wonderful it makes me feel when you tell me my content has inspired you or helped you in some way. So thank you for taking this journey with me and for being there for me every step of the way.

To the 25,000… This is for you!!

P.S.  This week has been one for celebrations… Earlier this week, we celebrated a belated one-year blogiversary for The Cashmere Gypsy and now we’re celebrating 25k on Instagram. I couldn’t do it without you. Please let me know if there’s any content or specific posts you’d like to see on TheCashmereGypsy.com and I will do my best to make you happy.

This outfit was inspired by this cute little tee I found. I couldn’t resist… The luxe velvet blazer and the soft cable knit beret just gave me all these French girl vibes and I had to put them all together. If you’ve been a longtime reader, you know I like incorporating current trends in a classic way so the pieces last longer in my closet. In this look, I’ve incorporated a beret, velvet, a graphic tee, raw-hem denim, and a block heel… All current trends, but none of these pieces are too extreme so you can get much more wear out of them.

Fit Details… My favorite piece in this look is probably the velvet blazer; it has the most beautiful details including striped lining and pink interior trim. It runs true to size, as does the tee I paired with it. The jeans I’m wearing run true to  size and are in a nice thin, stretchy, flexible fabric… If you’re in between sizes, I would go a size down due to the stretch. They are super comfortable and would look amazing paired with a big sweater for the holidays.

Just over a year ago, I launched TheCashmereGypsy.com with a very specific idea in my mind; one inspired by all of you. I pictured today’s woman; a versatile gypsy in her world, transforming effortlessly from role to role in her life. She could be a sister, a student, a mother, a businesswoman, a philanthropist, a wife, a designer, a creator. She’s probably many things and will be many, many more as the years pass by.

The term ‘gypsy’ made me think of travel and of course I wanted to incorporate my travel into my new blog but more importantly, I wanted a name that reflected what I feel and see in so many of the wonderful women I meet on a daily basis;   that we are truly impressive at wearing many hats and being many things at any given moment. If you take a look at the women who raised you and the women you love, I think you’ll agree that we ladies are incredible sources of inspiration.

So I launched The Cashmere Gypsy as a gathering place for all my creative ideas infused with heavy doses of dreamy, feminine inspiration and touches of romance. When you visit my site, watch one of my videos, read my newsletter, or visit any of my social media channels I want you to feel inspired, happy, and uplifted. I want my content to be something you look forward to seeing during your day.

In the past year, this site has become so much more than just my creative outlet. It’s become a wonderful little meeting spot where we can share our ideas and input, whether it’s here or on the TCG Facebook or Instagram. I’ve shared so much of myself with you and I feel as if I’ve gotten to know many of you as well. I so look forward to reading your comments and interacting with you each and every day; I hope you know how much your support and encouragement means to me. Most of all, I like hearing that I brightened your day or made you laugh… Or that I inspired an outfit you wore or saved you a little time/money by showing you a makeup trick.

If I’m having a bad day, it’s 3 AM, I’m exhausted, and I can’t figure out how to fix a tech issue, I’m endlessly energized by your kind comments and sweet words of positivity and the problem doesn’t seem quite so awful anymore. I can have tears rolling down my face and see one of your funny Snapchats you’ve sent to me and my mood feels instantly brightened. I just want to thank you for that. And thank you for each time you’ve clicked over to this blog to browse around, thank you for each time you’ve liked one of my photos on social media, and thank you for being there for me. You are wonderful and your kind of light is the kind we need more of in this world of ours that often seems so dark. So keep being you.

To celebrate TCG’s first birthday, Along Came A Box sent me a box full of goodies to open! Each gift came in a little drawstring pouch with a clock’s time displayed on the front; the first gift is supposed to be opened at 9 AM with another present being opened each hour throughout the day. I opened their Oh So Classic Birthday Box – Full Day in the Rose version and it couldn’t be more perfect for me; it was filled with the most adorable little gifts like a pink watercolor ring dish, dainty gold necklace, and rose hair pins.

I love the idea of opening little gifts throughout the day and making birthday excitement last all day long. Along Came A Box also offers Christmas and holiday boxes, as well as bridesmaid and maid of honor boxes for weddings.

Be sure you’re following me on Instagram @brittanypillard… This Wednesday, you’ll have a chance to win your very own Along Came A Box gift box to give to one of your friends!

Sometimes you find the best outfit in the most unexpected places. That’s how this outfit came to be; my friend was visiting from L.A. and we were doing a little shopping but nothing seemed to look right on me and I was getting frustrated. Then I tried on this little black dress and was pleasantly surprised with its Parisian girl vibes. There’s something so unique and special about it and I think I’ve worn it at least five times since I purchased it.

The matte leather bow I’m wearing is from the same place as the dress but I wasn’t able to find it online, so I’ve linked a similar one. It’s the final touch to this look and I really think it finishes it perfectly; each time I wear this I get so many compliments and it’s such a simple look.
