Tray | Bunny Lamp | Piggy Bank | Picture Frame | Lamp | Artwork

…

I ordered this tray from the new Pottery Barn collection and I just adore it. I had no idea where I wanted to put it, but it’s perfect in Sloane’s room. When we eventually move her to a big girl bed, I want to add some touches of green to her space so this is perfect. I adore these colors together!

In other news, I don’t think I’ve shared this yet on the blog, but we had a tornado come thru our town. It was nuts! And kind of scary. It all happened so fast and was really intense for a little bit. Sadly, we lost our big tree in our backyard. It fell and ruined our fence and hit our neighbors garage and caused some damage. It’s been kind of a pain dealing with insurance on this because so many people were affected, so everything is really backed up.

The good news is we are getting a new fence! We currently have a very old chain link fence that is just not very nice to look at. And our neighbors agreed to upgrade it and we will be splitting the cost. I’m really excited to see how it turns out! I bet it will make a huge difference. We will still need to eventually do the other side of our yard and replace our gate. Baby steps!

I’m really excited because I found a really good photographer in our area who is also very reasonably priced. I love her style too! So this year, I am planning on doing family photos and have been on the hunt for outfits for all of us. I ordered Sloane this top and skirt, which I thought might also be cute for school pictures or Thanksgiving this year. And I think I might order myself this dress because I’m obsessed! Now just need to figure out something for Kurt.

Here are a few things I’ve found while shopping lately!

  • J.Crew launched more new arrivals (I shared a some of my picks in this post here) and it has me so excited for Fall! I adore this jacket (so chic) and I also adore the ruffles on this blouse.
  • I’ve always loved Hill House dresses, but lately I love them more and more. I absolutely adore this dress and this dress. Would be perfect if you are planning Fall photos with your family!
  • It’s that time of year when the Halloween pj’s are coming out! Little Sleepies is my absolute favorite brand. I know I’ve talked about them before, but they just last so long. Sloane can usually wear her pj’s for over a year which is kind of crazy. They stretch for days! I bought this Halloween pair for Sloane, but was really tempted by these too. Use code LSLOVESYOU for a discount! The code makes them right around $30 with tax and free shipping.
  • Ok J.Crew Factory has the cutest little girls clothes! I added this vest, this top, this jean skirt, these leggings and this jacket all to my cart for Sloane. So adorable, right?!
  • I kind of love this shark costume idea for Sloane. She would be so cute in it! Plus her favorite song right now is Baby Shark- shocking, I know haha!
  • I really want to add a balloon garland around our door on Halloween. I think it would make things look extra festive. I found this one and this one that I thought were cute. The secret is to invest in a balloon pump! It makes blowing up balloons so much easier.
  • Adding these Halloween sprinkles to my Amazon cart for my next order. I’m going to make Sloane some special treats for the holiday. She loves to cook with me!
  • Mackenzie-Childs launched their new fall collection and I’m dying over their new pumpkins. How pretty is this grey one and this grey striped pumpkin. So cute especially if you already have some of the black and white pumpkins. It would look really cute all mixed together.
  • I’m intrigued to try this $5 lip gloss. People have been raving about this brand.
  • I have a small hallway in my kitchen that I want to hang all of Sloane’s artwork in. I actually am going to try and convince Kurt to do it this weekend. And I wanted to add this display for artwork that can easily be changed out periodically.
  • Adore this short sleeve sweatshirt and short set! So cute for any end of summer activities.
  • I love this rattan chair! I haven’t been able to figure out a place to put it. Someone buy it and I can live thru you haha.
  • How pretty are these blue and white pillow cases?

And so last week I ordered this @rhone set and it’s amazing.  Expect to see me in it every weekend moving forward 😂 It’s incredibly soft and I like the polo style sweatshirt that helps to elevate the outfit. Pair with sneakers and throw on a hat when you don’t feel like dealing with your hair.  An easy weekend outfit!

You don’t need more clothes- you just need the rig You don’t need more clothes- you just need the right ones. A few weeks ago I shared 19 items to build a fall capsule wardrobe on my Substack and I own almost all of them. I’ve been wearing the items all season long, mixing and matching and restyling pieces to make them feel fresh and new. Here are 13 outfit ideas…. but endless possibilities.

The final room that finishes off our first floor- The final room that finishes off our first floor- our dining room!  I finally feel like our house is ‘done’- as done as it can be because I still have lots of ideas and projects I want to tackle. I love how our dining room finally came together from the @serenaandlily chairs I’ve had for years (that are incredibly durable) to the new @shopinslee artwork that finishes off the space. We eat in here every night as a family, we talk about our days, we color, we laugh, we entertain. I’ve mixed high (my chairs, chandelier and artwork) and low (curtains, lamps) and mixed in my grandmas blue and white china that I adore. After five years, I feel settled and love this special home! **when we moved in I never thought we would ever get to this point lol**

The unexpected color combo that is so pretty for f The unexpected color combo that is so pretty for fall- burgundy and light pink!! When I’m playing around with color, I like to stick to silhouettes I know work on my body and that I love to wear. A classic button down, a dark denim straight leg jean and a classic pair of Mary Jane flats. You can have a little fun…and still feel like yourself!

Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I finally feel like my living room is complete.  And I absolutely adore every single detail of it. The light blue sofa to the oversized chair I love to curl up in with a cozy blanket, the antique chairs I got at an estate sale to the $$$ floral fabric I had to have- I wanted it on my antique chairs but had to compromise and get pretty pillows made instead. The details I stressed over for months.  It finally came together just like I envisioned in my head.  I get to live here and I couldn’t be more excited (and proud!) of what I created!

I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all se I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all season long!  They are truly my most favorite shoe brand ever. Classics that you want to pull out year after year but the craftsmanship is also superb. They are always my most comfortable shoes, and that’s the main reason I’m such a big fan of the brand.  The new Wells Boot is sleek, lightweight and most importantly made for all weather. Pair them with a classic straight leg jean and an oversized cozy cable knit sweater and you have the perfect fall outfit.

I love the big, oversized fit which makes it super cozy.  It pairs perfectly with my slim ecru jeans. I’m a millennial after all so I’m never giving up on a slimmer jean 🙆🏼‍♀️. The Mary Jane style shoe I can’t quit. They wear like a sneaker because they are so flexible but are more elevated. This outfit works perfect for a work from home day when I want to look (and feel) good but still be comfy.

Wearing my go to leggings in the color I can’t get enough of this season. These leggings are such good quality especially for the affordable price point.

The rollneck sweater I can’t get enough of and just ordered in a third color. I love the oversized, relaxed fit of it. Under $100 and a great one to add to your collection.

Add some fun sneakers and a woven tote bag and you look chic without losing comfort.

Add a fun pop for a shoe and you have the perfect fall outfit formula!  These @flabelus flats are the absolute best because they are really supportive and comfy right out of the box. I could walk miles in them.
