leopard blazer // tie front pants //$10 tank // bralette // red heel // ring bag //

Reid’s work party is next weekend, so I’ve been on the hunt for simple (nursing friendly) outfit. Well, I found it!

I don’t have a lot of time to overthink holiday outfits, so I like to keep it simple but extra. Enter the leopard blazer. ROAR!

I was drawn to these pants because of the bow and flattering fit.

My eye caught these beautiful blazer because

A it’s hard to find a leopard blazer under $500 and

B it is on sale- now 50% off!  Can you say score?

Graphic tees are among the most understated piece of your wardrobe, but can pack the most punch. I love styling them with trusty basics. Lately, I’ve been dodging spit up and living in black jeans, graphic tees, and oversize blazers.

I’ve been rocking these booties since the fall and I love the heel, the cut and the brown tone. And hey they’re on sale.

camo jacket I also like this one // tee is only $11 // jeans // booties and similar// “S” necklace // red hat // bralette // Gucci belt bag

The first thing I was excited to wear after being pregnant for 9 mos was this belt bag! I’m happy to report my waist is back and I’m loving getting back to styling outfits for the holidays. I love how camoflage can be dressed up or down and with fun pops of red like this hat and bag. How do you like to wear camoflage?

Leopard boots // Jeans // Top // Camel wrap coat similar // Chloe Faye Bag

I love leopard booties as much as I do chilly days in LA. We’re transitioning from warmer temps to chillier ones and this is my favorite way to wear basics. A long sleeve top, camel wrap, crop denim and a pop of leopard.

More cropped denim:

It’s ironic that I hate cold weather but I love buying new coats for the family each year. I love seeing my kids all bundled up in layers. Perfect for cozy long weekends at our A-Frame up in the mountains.

 

Wearing our new winter coats, we decided to string popcorn and cranberries for a cute/ugly little pine tree we found next to our mountain A-Frame. The kids had a blast decorating the tree we found. Thank goodness for battery operated LED lights. They gave this sad little tree a little sparkle. After some popcorn fights, we moved up the hill and the kids built a pretend campfire as they ate candy canes and talked about what they want for Christmas. The air smelled of pine trees and was refreshingly crisp.

As we plan on spending lots of days in the snowy mountains this winter, I’m lining up key must-have winter basics your kids will actually wear. No fights, right!?

I’ve learned a few things on what to look for when selecting kids outerwear.

1)     Purchase coats that aren’t too bulky or stiff. If the kids aren’t comfortable moving in it, they won’t wear it.

2)    Look for coats that have attached hoods. No more losing hats!

3)    The coat needs to be easily cleaned and machine washable.

I found our coats at Abercrombie Kids. Their outerwear kid’s collection is on point and as a stylist, I approve. I’m especially fond of the Essential Puffer Line and the shiny color options, which the kids loved and I know the material will clean up nicely after they’ve played outside.

The girls are wearing the Essential Puffer Coat and the Adventure Parka. The girls’ coats have faux fur hoods and the color/pattern selection will please any kid. My youngest girl chose the shiny navy blue stripe and my oldest, outdoorsy, daughter chose the cute green camo with pink faux fur lining.

For the boys, the Essential Puffer Coat keeps their movement unrestricted while they play. The sherpa-lined hood is so cute and cozy too.

I layered the kids with plaid button-down shirts, zippered sweaters, sweatshirts and ripped denim jeans with patches. When the temps drop lower, my daughter will wear tights with her black denim skirt. I love how their outerwear all pulled together nicely. We are ready for a real mountainside campfire and some s’mores. Happy wintering!
