OLLIE: GIRAFFE COSTUME (THRIFTED – SIMILAR HERE AND HERE)

Happy Halloween weekend! As someone who loooooves getting dressed up, I always look forward to all the costume parties and festivities leading up to Halloween. We have a full family costume for tonight that I’ll be sharing soon (can’t wait!) but my mom found this vintage giraffe costume for Ollie at a thrift store for $5. I immediately knew I wanted to match him! I found this amazing giraffe dress from Retrofete and it was perfect.

With all the animal print trends right now, the last-minute costume possibilities are endless! I love the idea of shopping your closet for an outfit or dress you can use for a costume (or even better, buying a new dress for a Halloween costume that you will wear after!) If you haven’t planned a costume yet, raid your closet for your favorite animal print pieces – leopard, zebra, giraffe, whatever you have! Take it to the next level with a hair style to complete the look (high mini buns are the cutest for animal looks!) and last but not least, makeup! My friend Jill did my makeup (she also did our makeup here) but you can also DIY it with a Youtube tutorial. This is a good giraffe print option under $50 and also love the print on this one (on sale under $100).

The Best Fall Finds Under $50

Sometimes even the simplest additions to your closet can make all the difference – even if it’s one new shirt you’re adding to your line up, there’s something exciting about pulling the tags off and wearing it for the first time (and then usually on repeat, if you’re anything like me when I get something new haha). So today I wanted to put together a round up today of some of my favorite fall finds I’ve found recently under $50.

 

fall funds under $50

DETAILS: 1. ROLLING STONES TEE (UNDER $20) | 2. WOOL HAT | 3. BEIGE BLAZER | 4. RIBBED PAJAMA SET | 5. SHERPA PULLOVER (UNDER $20) | 6. BLACK PUFFER BAG | 7. BLACK MINI DRESS (UNDER $25) | 8. RAIN BOOTS (UNDER $25) | 9. SILK FACE MASK | 10. CORDUROY SCRUNCHIE SET (2 PACK – UNDER $10) | 11. SLEEVELESS SWEATER (UNDER $25 – COMES IN 3 COLORS) | 12. RIBBED LONG SLEEVE TOP | 13. ACDC GRAPHIC TEE (UNDER $20) | 14. CORDED ZIP SWEATSHIRT

Graphic tees are a closet staple year-round – you can never have enough! I found this Rolling Stones and this ACDC tee under $20. They are perfect for layering under your blazers or denim jackets to add some color to your look. This blazer comes in 3 colors but I’m clearly in major beige/neutrals mode this fall haha. I’m also loving all the cozy, casual half-zip pullovers! Love this sherpa one and also this pretty corded one – both under $50. Also obsessed with all things ribbed! Love this pretty scoop neck top that comes in 3 colors and also this cute pajama set!

Below are some other fall finds – all under $50! Let me know your faves!

3 New Pants Trends To Try

New season brings new pants! Wanted to share 3 new pants trends for the season and how to style!

new pants trends to try

TREND #1: WIDE-LEG PANTS

DETAILS: KNIT CARDIGAN (SIMILAR HERE) | GREY TWILL PANTS (UNDER $100) | SATCHEL | GOLD WATCH

Wide leg trousers are back and I am here for it. Paired with a cozy wool cardigan and nude heels, the wide-leg silhouette reads really upscale. Its a fresh, fashion-forward combo and also so comfortable! Also don’t mind the wrinkles they need to be steamed 😜

knit pants

TREND #2: COZY KNIT PANTS

DETAILS: GREEN SWEATSHIRT (LOVE THIS COLOR! UNDER $25) | KNIT WIDE LEG PANTS (UNDER $25) | WHITE NIKE SNEAKERS (UNDER $100)

OLLIE: STRIPED RIBBED SET

These knit pants are so good in person! They are a pretty/tan beige and the wide-leg silhouette makes them super versatile. You can wear it with a cozy sweatshirt and sneakers for a casual look, with a matching sweater as a two-piece set, or add a fitted bodysuit for a more polished outfit. I’m wearing a size small they run true to size 🙂

pants trends to try

DETAILS: CORDUROY PAPERBAG PANTS (UNDER $100) | WHITE LONG SLEEVE TOP | WHITE CONVERSE

TREND #3: CORDUROY PANTS

DETAILS: BEIGE CORDUROY PANTS (UNDER $50) | PAPERBAG CORDUROY PANTS (UNDER $100) | BLACK CORDUROYS (UNDER $50)

Never say never because you never know when a trend you swore off will come back better than ever. I’m all about the corduroy this season, from oversized corduroy button ups over cropped tanks to all the pretty corduroy pants. They add such a pretty texture and a great alternative to jeans – love them paired with a pretty bodysuit!

Below are some other pretty pants trends I’m loving:

The Hooded Sweatshirt Dress I’ll Be Wearing Non-Stop

Why have I not on a sweatshirt dress until this year?? You guys know I love my oversized hoodies and sweats. Here are three effortless ways to pull off a sweatshirt dress! (Also featured – my shacket that was just restocked! Under $100 and soooo good! Also obsesssssed with this plaid one!)

wool shacket


DETAILS: HOODED SWEATSHIRT DRESS (UNDER $25 – ALSO COMES IN TAN) | GREY SHACKET (UNDER $100) | KHAKI BASEBALL HAT | BLACK ANKLE BOOTS (MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE PAIR – SIMILAR HERE) |

When in doubt, just add a classic black ankle bootie! You can dress it up further with a pair of sheer tights and a bold lip, or keep it casual by adding a baseball cap. (Would also love a hooded sweatshirt dress paired with combat boots!) This pair is an investment but I’ve had them for years – they are amazing quality and such a pretty silhouette. Here’s a super similar option at a more affordable price point.

DETAILS: HOODED SWEATSHIRT DRESS (UNDER $25 – ALSO COMES IN TAN) | GREY SHACKET (UNDER $100) | GUCCI CROSSBODY | FAUX FUR MULES (ON SALE UNDER $100)

For an easy polished look, add a pair of faux fur mules and a classic crossbody. Mules are understated but add a little elegance to an otherwise casual hooded sweatshirt dress. I just added this pretty brown pair to my cart – so good! It’s the perfect outfit on its own or you can throw on a long wool coat over it for a chic layered look.

fall shacket look

DETAILS: HOODED SWEATSHIRT DRESS (UNDER $25 – ALSO COMES IN TAN) | GREY SHACKET (UNDER $100) | WHITE NIKE SNEAKERS  (UNDER $100) | KHAKI BASEBALL HAT

And last but not least, with white sneakers! I’ve worn these sneakers with every outfit you can think of, but they were made for this hoodie dress. It’s a great spin on a sportswear look, especially topping it off with a baseball cap. I’ll never say no to a comfy, casual, and chic combo. I love the slouchy sock and sneaker look, I just couldn’t find a pair of matching socks 😂 our laundry piles are next level right now. 🙈

Fall Baby Basics to Mix and Match This Season

I have been just as excited finding cute fall pieces for Ollie as for myself (if not more excited!) so I wanted to share some recent pieces I’m loving – also include some pink and gender neutral pieces that are great wardrobe baby basics to mix and match.

winter baby essentials

DETAILS: RIBBED BEANIE (ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | PADDED JACKET (ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | SNOW PANTS (COMES IN 3 COLORS) | BLACK-LINED BOOTS (COMES IN 3 COLORS)

Babies in beanies are my biggest weakness! We have this one in multiple colors (more color options here).  Also I know it seems kind of early to post but their winter pieces sell out quick and they are super budget friendly (each piece is under $35) so I wanted to share asap.  I love this padded jacket and matching snow pants – can’t wait to watch him play in the snow this year!

baby girl fall pieces

DETAILS: PINK BEANIE (COMES IN 3 COLORS) | KNIT SET | PINK SNOW PANTS | WHITE LINED BOOTS

I’ve always loved baby girl clothes! There are so many pretty pink and nude tons this year especially – dying over these snow pants in pink! These boots are also a great basic. We got them in multiple colors for Ollie including this white pair.

fall baby basics

DETAILS:  WOOL COAT (COMES IN 4 COLORS) | LINED BOOTS (ALSO COME IN PINK) | KNIT HAT | KNIT LEGGINGS (COMES IN 3 COLORS – LOVE THEM ALL!)

This wool coat is one of my favorite baby layers I’ve seen this season! It comes in 4 colors and they are all so good. I also love the knit leggings for babies – especially with cute fall booties. These leggings are one of the best baby basics. They are great gender neutral color combo and they also come in a pretty deep green set and a navy set. You can’t have enough of these! So comfortable and versatile.

fall baby basics

DETAILS:  WOOL SOCKS | WHITE LINED BOOTS  (COMES IN 3 COLORS) | RIBBED JERSEY SHIRTS (COMES IN 3 COLORS) | RIBBED 2 PIECE SET (COMES IN 3 COLORS)

Honestly, cute socks are probably the last thing I think about when it comes to baby but a pretty knit sock actually goes a long way! I love this ribbed set – Ollie has been living in them! I’m also obsessed with these ribbed shirts. They comes in 3 color combos – one with pinks and another with the prettiest nudes and light blue.

pop park city decor

I am so obsessed with how the whole balloon/teddy bear installation came together! Pop Park City does such an amaaaaazing job with the colors and balloon arch. They have such an eye for detail! We got the marquee letters from AlphaLit – another one of our go-tos for any big events or parties we have.

fall birthday party decor inspo

DETAILS: CORDUROY MINI DRESS (WEARING SIZE 0 – RUNS BIG! SIZE DOWN AT LEAST 1 SIZE) | BOOTS | GOLD WATCH || TAN DRESS FROM THE CAKE SMASH (WEARING SIZE LARGE SO ITS LONG AND OVERSIZED)

OLLIE:  RIBBED BEANIE | GREY ONESIE | CORDUROY OVERALLS | BROWN SOCKS | WHITE SNEAKERS | HIGHCHAIR | CROWN

PARTY DETAILS: CAKE BY MEGAN FAULKNER BROWN | BALLOONS BY POP PARK CITY | LETTERS BY ALPHALIT SLC | BEAR

OUR BABY BOY TURNED 1!! I seriously can’t even believe it. How is he ONE! It was birthday marathon at our house last week. Wes birthday was the 26th, Ollies was the 30th, and Cody and my moms birthday was on the 4th. So it was party after party 🙂 The day before Ollie’s birthday I cried my eyes out haha. Cody and I went on a date night and in the middle of dinner I just started crying. Knowing this is most likely our last baby, all these emotions just hit thinking about how much he’s grown, our time at the NICU when he was born, it was just a flood of emotions. But then on his actual birthday it was just PURE JOY. When I was little I got a teddy bear I carried everywhere named Oso (spanish for bear – I was fluent in Spanish as a little girl 🥰). So I was up super late one night (my creativity always hits super late at night) and it hit me how cute would a teddy bear theme be for his first birthday! I found this ADORABLE bear that’s actually the same brand as the one I had growing up. 🙂 So I ended up using that teddy bear as inspo for the theme and love how it turned out, especially with all the fall tones.

We used Pop Park City for the balloons and Alphalit SLC for the letters. I have used them for other events and they are seriously SO TALENTED. They made custom ballon colors to match my vision, and the balloon tassels, and confetti balloon are all hand made so they match the balloons perfectly. It was seriously even prettier in person if you can believe it! The darkest balloons are a gorgeous dark brown (hard to see it in pictures they read a little more black here but soooo gorgeous in real life). They put so much detail into it and come to your house and set it up – such an amazing service! (They also have no-contact delivery if you prefer.)

I am so in love with all these pics, I can’t wait to make a little book out of them for memories.

4 Unexpected Ways To Wear Sweater Dresses

fresh ways to wear a sweater dress

Sweater dresses are one of my favorite pieces for fall – not only do they make for the perfect one-and-done fall look, they are also super versatile! I have this one in multiple colors – it’s super cozy and just the right fit, plus under $100. I got a size large so it was oversized and longer. Here are 4 unexpected ways to style your sweater dresses this season.

DATE NIGHT DETAILS: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. CAMEL COAT (UNDER $100) | 2. OCTAGON SUNGLASSES | 3. NUDE LIP GLOSS (SHADE: HALLUCINATION – HAVE THIS ONE AND LOVE!)| 4. FAUX LEATHER DUFFEL | 5. LONG WHITE BUTTON TUNIC (UNDER $100) | 6. KNEE-HIGH BOOTS (UNDER $100) | 7. GOLD RING SET | 8. GOLD SIGNET RING

OVER AN OVERSIZED BUTTON-UP

One of the freshest ways to style your sweater dress is over a button-up, oversized tunic. I love the look of the white button up hanging out the hem! (Could also work with some of your longer, oversized sweaters.) Add some knee-high boots (can’t believe this pair is under $100!) and an oversized bag for a high-end feel (extra points for a monochromatic look!). I also just got this gloss and love the shade of nude! So good! Altogether, it’s the perfect fall date night look.

TUCK IT

WEEKEND STYLE: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. PLAID SHACKET | 2. BLACK BASEBALL HAT (UNDER $10) | 3. BLACK BELT | 4. DISTRESSED DENIM (UNDER $100) | 5. RED LIPSTICK (SHADE: RITA) | 6. WHITE HIGH-TOP NIKES | 7. SUNGLASSES (ON SALE 15% OFF)  | 8. MINI-BUCKET BAG

Make your sweater dresses work double time by tucking the hem into your denim and wearing them as an oversized sweater. It’s a super cozy, carefree look perfect for the weekend or just running errands. I am so obsessed with this pair that I got them in both colors – super flattering fit, the perfect wash, and under $100. For a more casual look, throw on some high-top sneakers and a baseball cap. Or to kick it up a notch, you can add a pretty belt (love the asymmetric hardware on this one!) and a pretty leather mini handbag (obsessed with this brand’s – need!).

UNDER A LEATHER MINI

BRUNCH DETAILS: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. FAUX LEATHER MINI SKIRT (UNDER $100) | 2. WOOL COAT | 3. SUNGLASSES | 4. MIX N MATCH EARRINGS (UNDER $50) | 5. WHITE TOTE | 6. NAIL POLISH (SHADE: THUNDER ROAD) | 7. TAN HEADBAND | 8. WHITE ANKLE BOOTIE

One of my favorite combos for fall is knits and leather! For thinner-knit sweater dresses, throw on a leather skirt (obsessed with this one under $100 – the pockets + color are so good!). It’s another unexpected pairing and can be so chic when done right. Finish it off with a leather ankle bootie and you’re ready for brunch with the girls. Also love the idea of leather paper-bag shorts with tights!

SHACKETED UP

FALL FESTIVITIES LOOK: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. GREY SHACKET (UNDER $100 – SIMILAR HERE)| 2. NAIL POLISH (SHADE: MID-DAY MOCHA) | 3. KNIT BEANIE (UNDER $50) | 4. NUDE COMBAT BOOT | 5. RUFFLED SOCKS (2-PACK) | 6. TAN MINI SHOULDER BAG | 7. LEOPARD FACE MASK (3-PACK FACE MASKS) | 8. GOLD HOOPS (UNDER $25)

This might be one of my favorite looks. I’m allllll about the shackets this fall! They are selling out so fast everywhere so clearly I’m not alone haha. I love it layered over a sweater dress and with a chunky knit beanie for a cozy, casual look. These nude combat boots are such a pretty color to bring in some nude tones to your fall wardrobe and I love the idea of these ruffled socks paired with them! Also how cute is this mini shoulder bag!? I am in love!!

What do you guys think? Which pairing is more your style? Below are some other fall pieces I’ve been eyeing lately:

My 4 Boot Buys This Week

boot buys

For this week’s things I bought post, it’s all about boots! I went on a bit of a boot spree and stocked up on some beautiful fall boots so wanted to share my buys!

chelsea boots

SESAME CHELSEA BOOTS (MORE SIZES HERE)

These might be my favorite boots I bought so far this season! They are waterproof which is 🙌🏼🙌🏼. It rained and I didn’t have to worry about water spots on my light leather shoes. I’m obsesssssed with the pretty sesame tone! It’s the perfect tone for fall and turns even your simplest looks into a cool, cozy outfit. Will be wearing this nonstop! They’ve been selling super fast but I found a few more sizes here and more sizes here.

SESAME CHELSEA BOOTS

Also wanted to show the black because they are fully stocked in black. I actually might get the black pair too because they are so comfy!

 

 

marc fisher boots

SHEARLING LACE-UP BOOT (ON SALE 25% OFF)

I discovered these boots at the tail-end of last year’s winter season and they were sold out everywhere – so excited they came back this year! I love the shearling detail paired with the pretty leather laces. They are also super comfortable and maybe one of the most practical boots I own haha – that traction is priceless in the Utah snow!

shearling hiker boots

LEATHER SHEARLING LACE-UP BOOT (ON SALE 25% OFF)

Yea, they are that good haha! I’ve bought jeans in multiple colors, sweatshirts, joggers, even coats. But rarely do I buy boots in multiple colors. It was just too hard to choose between the black leather and the brown suede but they felt different enough that I decided to go for both. They are on sale 25% off right now but not sure how long that will last so definitely pull the trigger if you are thinking about it.

white combo boots

WHITE PLATFORM COMBAT BOOTS

I also got these white lace-up combat boots. I love the contrast with the black, chunky platform sole. They add an edgy, casual vibe to any outfit – will be wearing this with all the plaid oversized layers this fall!

Below are some other hiker/combat boots I love this season, from high-end to budget-friendly:

Fall Travel Style: Old Favorites & New Finds

fall travel style

TRAVEL STYLE DETAILS: WHITE HOODIE (UNDER $50) | CAMEL COAT (UNDER $100 – ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | LEGGINGS | HIKING BOOTS (ON SALE 25% OFF) | BROWN DUFFLE BAG | FACE MASK

We made it to Boston this week! It’s my first time seeing New England in the fall and I am so excited to see the leaves and experience all things fall!

Each trip I feel like I appreciate even more since travel has changed so much during Covid. We all had to get Covid tests before we left.

Even though a lot has changed travel wise, my travel style is still pretty much the same! I could wear leggings and an oversized sweatshirt every day 🙂 you know I love my loungewear. These Lululemon leggings are my all time favorite – they are insanely comfortable, super flattering, and have pockets. I have multiple pairs but I’ve had my eye on this pair in blue cast – so good! They also just this new print and I’m obsessed. They are definitely an investment, but are amazing quality and will last forever, but I also got this pair recently that has the same vibe but are more budget-friendly and are on sale for under $25.

This camel coat was one of my recent buys (last seen in this post) – it’s an amazing price point under $100 and super versatile. It transforms my lounge look to make it more elevated. You can also pair with a sweater dress and over the knee boots for more of a date night look. I love it with this casual look and these shearling boots. I ordered these in both colors, black and brown – they are actually on sale right now too – 25% off! I also got this duffle bag and love the color – it’s even better in person. Tons of pockets and so practical for traveling, especially with kids.

Follow along on our trip on IG stories! Would love to hear any suggestions you guys have if you’re familiar with the area. 🙂 Below are more pieces I love for travel style.

5 Things I Bought This Week

Happy Friday, guys! I’m excited to share 5 of my buys from this past week. This week is a mixed bag of fashion, home decor, and baby buys.

outerwear styles

CAMEL COAT  ($69.99)

This was my latest outerwear purchase – I can never say no to a classic camel coat, especially when they are under $100. This one is actually really good quality and will sell out fast. It would be beautiful in a monochromatic look with all tans/camels or also just a great versatile coat to throw on any look. (Also comes in black.)

baby highchair

ADJUSTABLE HIGHCHAIR ($169.00)

I just got this high chair for Beckam and couldn’t be happier with it. It gets amazing reviews and made a total believe out of me. I love the minimal, clean look of it (especially in white, but it also comes in a pretty pink, green, and grey). It’s really lightweight and quick to assemble or take apart so you can store it easily if you want to take it on a trip with you. Also really easy to keep clean.

cardigans I bought this fall

CROPPED CARDIGAN ($59.99)

This cardigan comes in 3 colors and I’m obsessed with all of them. I got it in this pretty tan/beige and this dusty rose. I love the crop and it’s the perfect cardigan to wear as a top with some high-waisted jeans (just ordered this pair in both washes!)

halloween things I bought

HALLOWEEN BAT CUT-OUTS ($11.65+)

We added these bats to our front porch decor last year and now I think it will be come a Halloween tradition. Love the idea of adding these anywhere around the house to make things feel more festive – the front of your house, your fireplace, the wall by your stairs – you can’t go wrong! It’s such a small price tag for something that makes such a big impact!

baby buys

BABY RIBBED BEANIE ($9.99)

I could shop for baby clothes foreverrrrrr. I just got Ollie this ribbed beanie. We had the grey color last year and I love this new color they added. It comes in a pretty dusty rose and a dark green too. Also got him these corduroy overalls and this sherpa denim jacket.

Which is your favorite buy? Should I share more fashion, baby buys, home decor purchases, beauty finds…  what’s your favorite? Below are some more of my recent buys! You can also see last week’s round up here.

My Fall Sweatshirt Haul

Will fall here and temperatures finally starting to cool off, I’m pulling out all the sweatshirts. From cropped to oversized and cozy, I can’t get enough of them! Here are some of my favorite recent sweatshirt buys, all under $50

graphic sweatshirt

graphic sweatshirt

MTV sweatshirt

DETAILS: MTV SWEATSHIRT (ON SALE –  SIMILAR HERE) | BLACK NIKE SPORTS BRA | BLACK LEGGINGS | EARRINGS | CHAIN NECKLACE

Love the color on this one! With graphic sweatshirts, I usually prefer them cropped so I took a pair of scissors to this one and love how it turned out! The animal print is super subtle and it feels a more expensive in this pretty nude tone. Also love this black version here. On another note, these leggings were an amazing find. They remind me of the Lululemon Fast and Frees (pockets and all!) but at a fraction of the price. I’m wearing a size medium here, but could also go to a size small for something a little tighter.

cropped hoodie

fall sweatshirts

hoodie outfit

fall hoodies

DETAILS: CROPPED HOODIE | BLACK DENIM JACKET | LEGGINGS (WEARING SIZE M – ON SALE UNDER $30) | NIKE SNEAKERS | EARRINGS

This hoodie was pre-cropped and I love the fit. I found it in tons of colors in-store but it also comes in this oversized tunic version (just add biker shorts, or go even more oversized with just combat boots!) and this super soft sherpa version here.

oversized sweatshirt

DETAILS: LAVENDER SWEATSHIRT (20% OFF CODE: FFMOBILE – WEARING SIZE S) | LEGGINGS (WEARING SIZE M – ON SALE UNDER $30)

acid wash sweatshirt

DETAILS: ACID WASH SWEATSHIRT (20% OFF CODE: FFMOBILE | WEARING SIZE S) | LEGGINGS (WEARING SIZE M – ON SALE UNDER $30)

This acid wash sweatshirt reminds of one we had at ILY years ago – it’s sooooo soft, almost spongy. It was probably my favorite sweatshirt I’ve ever owned. It comes in tons of colors (also got it in the pretty lavender color!) and they are buy one get one half off right now so the perfect excuse to stock up! They are super oversized. I usually get a size M or L in sweatshirts but this one is a small! They are also an extra 20% off right now with code: FFMOBILE 🙂
