Fannar boots” from Børn :: blouse L’Academie :: skirt Zara :: sunnies Chloe

When it comes to getting ready, I keep two things in mind: comfort and style. As a mom of four, it’s common sense that I need to be able to run around all day, but I’m not one to sacrifice style while doing so (well, most days).

With fall slowly creeping in, I’m officially pulling out the fall wardrobe staples, including these børn boots. They’re perfect to pair with dresses and skirts for this seasonal transition that we’re in, at least in LA, and I’m looking forward to wearing them over jeans and leggings once it truly cools down.

I especially love the lived-in color these have. And with the heel being pretty small, I can honestly walk for miles and still feel comfortable. Expect to see me in these throughout 2018!

See more Børn shoes from Zappos HERE. I just love how fast the shipping process is and the friendliest customer service. I mean, how good is their selection. I can get kids rain boots and the hottest boots for myself, all in one site at Zappos.

What are you excited to wear this fall?

Happy Humpday! 2 days till Friday, yay! I’m super excited even though Friday will just be a normal day, I’m happy to report this week is flying! Some of you  may already know, but Shopbop usually has a great end of summer sale and it is HERE! In the past, I’ve gotten a black leather jacket, a new pair of jeans, cute booties for fall and grey OTK boots I kept eying. As a tip, it is worth it to splurge on the investment buys – items over $500 that you will wear over and again and again, making the cost per wear well worth the splurge. I can attest to this fact by the countless times I wear my Stuart Weitzman boots. If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much I love them. Don’t forget, the sale goes from September 27th to the 29th. What are you stocking up on this fall?

Jeans

Shoes (from must-have flats to red boots)

Accessories (from bags to earrings)

Sweaters and Tops (essential fall layers)

P.S. As always, my shop page is open 24/7, and I’m thinking of doing a theme shop page to organize denim and tops and trends. Let me know what you think!

4 Pieces Under $50

Happy Friday! I’m so excited hubby is off today even though he has an early meeting to pop in. When he gets home we will likely go get lunch and coffee at some of our favorites. I wait 2 weeks for this day. Anyhow, what am I wearing? Today I’m sharing some under $50 finds as some of my readers have asked for some under $50 buys. This outfit can be worn for the workday week or weekend drinks and affordable as it is versatile. Who What Wear is killing it with trendy and classic pieces: hello military buttons, updated sleeves and cut out heels. As a busy mom I’ll take any easy pieces I won’t cry over if my youngest hugs my legs with chocolate hands. Speaking from experience of course, but worth it.

What are you up to this weekend?

The new IT boot is actually a sock – it hugs the ankle mid calve, and hit s a high note with a pointed toe. I’m writing this just short of ordering myself another pair. No joke. They bring any midi length dress or skirt up a couple notches and don’t think you can’t wear them with high water cropped jeans. If you’re wondering, yes, they rock cropped pants. Pick your flavor, leather or suede, I chose my favorite 4 below. Hurry up, the waiting lists are longer than the line for PSL’s at your local Starbucks. Happy Thursday!

red boot patent / cayanne red patent I love! This style also comes in suede.

I love a versatile sweater like a good mocha. Here I styled it as a tunic but it can also be worn as a dress. As a note, I would size up as this runs small. If I wore this as a dress, I’d size up, to avoid it being too short. With my 5′ 9″ height, I usually have to size up. however, as a tunic, I love the cozy feel (it’s crazy soft) and extra material. This camel color also compliments scarves, a black trench and faux leather leggings underneath. Cozy is the name of the game. I’m so ready for fall and this week has felt like it believe it or not! I’m not really into pumpkin spice lattes (PSL’s), so the kids and I have been drinking more tea and adding a cardigan in the mornings and evenings. Definitely a welcome change. It’s your turn, what’s your favorite thing about fall?

Watermelon Smoothie

by Shalice Noel

ballet heel COLE HAAN :: top RAILS :: jeans rag & bone and these :: sunnies CHLOE

I’m a little embarrassed how much I’ve worn these jeans and I couldn’t help but pair them with this cute watermelon top and pink mary janes. Isn’t this top cute? It makes me crave more frozen watermelon smoothies we’ve been making lately. So yum! I included the recipe below.

Chia Watermelon Smoothie (adapted from Minimalist Baker)

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen watermelon
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 ripe banana previously peeled, chopped and frozen
  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup (120-180 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk 
  • 1 lime, juiced (~30 ml)
  • 1 Tbsp chia or hemp seeds (I like chia)

Blend in a blender till smooth. Add more frozen strawberries if you want it thicker. Enjoy and happy Monday!





The It Bag

I love a bag I can wear both as a clutch and a handbag and this one from rag & bone fits the bill. Super soft, thick strap, and I’ve already used it for quick errands and day dates with the hubby. With military roots seen throughout the new rag & bone campaign, it is no secret this messenger bag is as rugged as it is chic. This 100% calf skin cross-body still holds my everyday essentials (from almonds to chapstick to my huge iPhone charger). I usually veer away from evening bags since I need lots of versatility as a mom, also known as a bag that can take the wear and tear of mom life, hello stains and crumbs. However, I think the slight stains will only add to its character. That is the sign of a GREAT bag.

Thank you rag & bone for sponsoring this post!

I’m always on a search for red pants and these are an awesome find. I love them paired with polka dots and brown nude sandals. We’re experiencing foggy chilly weather here in LA so I would pair this with a trench for chilly nights at Republique. Sometimes the missing link for an outfit is a pop of red. Happy Saturday!
