Fall Outfit

Apples, and pumpkins, and ghosts, oh my! We’ve officially entered Fall and I couldn’t be happier! Call me basic but Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the summertime but there comes a point where I no longer crave the heat and desire that crisp air and all the “fall-ness” that goes along with it. Here’s a little post with 7 ways to embrace that Fall air and make the most of the season.

1. Go Apple Picking

It’s officially “drag your boyfriend apple picking” season which is my favorite Fall activity! We go to the same apple orchard every fall and I wish I could go all year round. Between the crisp apples and the cider donuts, there is truly nothing better. We unfortunately haven’t had a chance to go this year yet, so I’ll leave you with a picture from 9 years ago…how’s that for a “legit” blogger?

2. Decorate with ALL the Fall things

Nothing gets you in the Fall mood more than coming home to a house that looks like it just blew Fall chunks everywhere! Here’s a few ideas to make your home a “Fall-y” one.3. Cozy up with Cardigans

As soon as there’s a little chill in the air, I bust out all the cozy cardigans. Some would say, I’m cardigan obsessed but I just say that I know what I like.

4. Make Caramel Apple Sangria

After apple picking, lots of people like to bake pies and apple crisps but I’d much prefer a little sangria.

To make my favorite sangria, all you  have to do is add the following ingredients and mix together:

  • 1 (750 ml) bottle pinot grigio -or your favorite mild white wine
  • 1 cup caramel flavored vodka
  • 6 cups apple cider
  • 2 medium apples -cored and chopped

5. Carve a pumpkin

I have the hardest time carving pumpkins but these somehow came out pretty decent! I think it was the added aforementioned sangria that made all the difference 🙂

Fall activities

Here’s a few things you may need to carve a pumpkin of your own:

Carving Set With Stencils
Electric Carver
Stencils
3D Pumpkin Designs
Stainless Steel Carving Kit

6. Buy ANYTHING Barefoot Dreams

If you have yet to try this brand, you are truly missing out. I was a little slow to jump on the bandwagon because I didn’t think anything could possibly be worth the splurge but boy, was I wrong! I can be seen below actually snuggling with my cardigan in the car.

7. Sit by the fire

I know, it’s not quite that cold yet but there is just something so calm and relaxing about a fire, am I right? As you can see below, I clearly do not have a real fireplace but a gal can dream, right? I ordered this tv stand that comes with an electric fireplace and absolutely love it!

Enjoy Fall ya’ll!!

Where in the World did the summer go? Last time I checked, it was the Fourth of July and now here we are entering September. I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun! As much as I do love the summer, I find the clothing to be quite boring. Maybe it’s just because I’m always a sweaty miserable mess. Since there’s crazy laws requiring that I put on clothes, it feels like I’m forced to throw on any ol’ lightweight item.  Yet as soon as that fall weather rolls in, I’m like a new woman excited about clothing again! Fall fashion is my absolute favorite and it’s so fun each year to try new trends and styles. So, here’s five fall trends you need to add to your wardrobe before that first leaf falls to the ground.

1. Mules

Apparently, shoes with backs are for nerds this season. Mules are trending in a big way and I’m not even mad about it. So be cool and buy some mules.

2. Leopard

Pops of leopard print are taking over the fall world! If you don’t have any leopard in your closet, now is the perfect time to add some!

3. Wedge Sneakers

This was a trend I absolutely HATED last year but for some reason, I’m all about this year! Have you jumped aboard the wedge sneaker train? Toot toot!

5. Rust

This seems to be the “it” color this season and I ain’t even mad about it! I tend to think of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz when I hear the word “rust” but boy is this color pretty!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are well aware that the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is under way. Early access opened up to card holders on July 12th but public access begins the 20th! I braved the store during early access week to find out what I was loving and what wasn’t workin’ for me.  Fortunately (or unfortunately) for my wallet, most things I tried worked out. So, come on and take a trip with me into my dressing room…

{BlazerJeansTank}

Can a gal ever have too many blazers, I ask you? The answer to that is always no! This blazer was one of my absolute favorite things I tried on. Soft, flattering, and has pockets! I found it true to size and am wearing in xs. These amazing jeans are also true to size and I’m wearing in size 4.

IMG_5072.JPG
{SweaterJeans}

I realize this is kind of an odd picture but I was doing my best to show you the adorable scallop detail. Either in my belly or on my arms, a scallop can do no wrong! This one ran true to size for me and I’m wearing in an xs.

IMG_5112.JPG
{JacketJeans}

I wanted this drape jacket to work SO bad but alas I’m just a tiny shrimp. 5’1″ over here (on a good day!)  So, hate to beg but if you are taller, I am on my hands and knees asking you to get this! I would assume the jacket runs true to size and the jeans are also true to size. I’m wearing in a size 27.

52D64FC9-2879-4E64-8351-ACC6ECD20335.jpg
{Jeans}

Holy softness!! This is one of my favorite brands because of the sheer softness. I liked this one too because it can easily worn with leggings for extra comfort! Currently sold out but hoping it will be restocked for the public sale!  True to size for me. I’m wearing in XS.

37058974_933187223550717_2562051487890931712_n.jpg{CardiganBP TeeJeans}

Aaaand the winner for my favorite cardigan goes to this little BP number! It comes in a bunch of colors and will go with so many things! I suggest sizing down and am wearing in an XXS. The tee is true to size and the jeans are as well.

Tops

{HenleyJeans}

This is the perfect color for fall and I think it could be easily dressed up or down! True to size for me. Wearing in XS.

D047A0CD-9A24-4602-9225-733298E95FFA.JPG
{Henley}

I liked this henley so much that I had to try it on in black as well! The black is definitely dressy enough to be worn to work as well.

37074008_933214500214656_6727263780314546176_n.jpg
{TopJeans}

This top didn’t jump out at me when I was shopping online but turned out to be one of my favorite items I tried on. It’s cute. It’s simple. It’s casual. It’s perfect. True to size. Wearing in XS. These jeans are also amazing and true to size.

1E29AC21-7EF0-4825-87A2-FA633AEF4AA9.JPG
{Tee}

Next up, we have the BP striped tee. There’s just something about a striped tee that screams fall and I for one, will never have enough! This one fit true to size and I’m wearing in an XS.

07B095E3-8DE9-46D3-A7F9-5DFFFB2A4295.JPG
{TankJeans}

This tank is a little on the shorter side so probably wouldn’t work if you have a longer torso but it worked perfectly on me! The color is to die for and it can easily be dressed up for work or play. True to size. Wearing in XS.

Dresses

Dress

I’m really not a dress wearer so this was actually the only dress I tried on but I loved it!! The dressing room lighting does not do the coloring of this dress justice plus it has POCKETS!! Size down. Wearing in XS but usually wear size S in dresses.

Bottoms

{TeePants}

I didn’t think twice about these pants when I saw them online but trying them on in person was a whole ‘nother ball game. I LOVED them! I have been all over this style of pant recently and these will transition perfectly from summer to fall. I found them true to size and am wearing size small.

{Jeans}

Shamefully, I am a huge Khloe Kardashian fan and had been dying to try her Good American jeans. Unfortunately, these just didn’t work for me. I think if I was curvier they would be much better. After all, a Kardashian designed them so I’m not sure what I was thinking…

Those rose gold details though!! All the heart eyes!! Plus, look at those scalloped sneakers! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll take scallops either IN or ON my body 🙂
