  1. Bugaboo Fox Stroller // 2.  Combat Boots // 3. Tank ($12!) // 4.  Jeans  5. Wool Fedora in Tan // 6. Teddy Coat

Levi is only a week here so you can bet I am gravitating towards classic pieces that are still flattering in this postpartum phrase. I love that Nordstrom carries some awesome basics like this $12 black tank I have in white as well.  Style tip, when you find something good, you buy in bulk! Speaking of good, this hat is great for bad hair days, chic combat boots, and we can’t forget flattering jeans all shown here. All of which I find at Nordstrom at competitive prices (they price match!) mom-friendly perks (hello curbside pick-up) and Nordy Club, so I can still earn points for every purchase. And these are just some of the advantages of shopping at Nordstrom. Have you used those perks at Nordstrom? What are you buying this month at Nordstrom?

Hello everyone!

If you get my newsletter, you may have already seen this, but it’s obvious I’m loving all things winter right now. From ordering faux garland to getting Levi a new stocking, to rocking to Mariah Caray’s All I want from Christmas, I guess you could say I’m in the Spirit.

Wow, how is October over already?! Per usual time is flying and I can’t believe it. Our little guy is growing so fast and we’re all so excited to celebrate our first holiday season with him.

And speaking of the holidays, winter is basically here and it’s time to share what I have to have to make it through the season. Here are my 9 winter staples:

1. What’s winter without a super cozy blanket?

2. Fall is all about a good turtleneck Sweater. And this one is under $60. 

3. I cannot recommend a silk pillowcase enough. It’s so good for your skin and hair.
4. A quality facial oil like this one from L’Occitane helps keep your skin extra moisturized.
5. These tan towelettes are miracle workers when it comes to helping you look tan sans the dangerous rays.
6. Even when it’s not winter, taking a hair and nail supplement can never hurt.
7. Depuff any inflammation from all that cozy winter and holiday food with this amazing ice roller that has changed the skin game for me.
8. $19 leggings are easy on the wallet and equally forgiving.
9. My skin is softer than your skin BODY SCRUB.

jeans // camel coat similar // cold shoulder top similar and this one for $42!// belt bag // earrings // cowboy boots

No one loves one shoulder tops more than I do.  I rounded up a couple faves as well as these jeans which have been a favorite post-partum. They’re super flattering. I happened to be between sizes so I went up a size and added a belly band. What do you think? It’s been a sleepy couple of weeks with lots of helpers, thankfully! with a couple flattering basics, I can still look my best without overthinking it. Shop my jeans, top, camel coat, earrings, bag and boots below. Happy Tuesday!

Happy Friday!

 

 

Last weekend, L’Occitane hosted a beautiful southern France inspired brunch here in LA. If you remember, I posted about the L’Occitruck arriving in LA, well this was their kick off brunch with LA influencers like myself. While I wasn’t able to attend personally since just giving birth to Levi, I sent Liz who captured the event here for you to see!

The smell of lavender was in the air, samples of tried of true customer favorites like Shea Butter Lotion was out to sample, and every color of macaroon available for your delight. It was indeed a lovely spread fit with a blue and yellow flower wall to kick it off. How enchanting!

Lavender Lemonade Mimosa from Food and Wine
Fill a pitcher two-thirds full with ice. Add the lemon juice and Lavender Tea Syrup. Stir briskly for 30 seconds to chill, then strain into 8 chilled flutes. Top each drink with 4 ounces of Prosecco. Garnish with sprigs of lavender.

I don’t know if you’e like me, but I love ordering from Amazon. I really feel like Prime delivery is a gift to mom’s. I can order what my family needs from the comfort of our home, without leaving the house! I order a couple of times a month and below is a sample of what I order and why.
to de-puff my tired under eyes and overall face. I keep it in my freezer.
It aids in sleep, vitamin absorption, and regularity. I took it regularly during my pregnancy and now while breastfeeding.
This blend is highly absorbable!
Okay, it says for kids, but I definitely love these.
Goji berries for our Açai bowls Just eat them out of the bag or use them over frozen yogurt, oatmeal or your favorite açai bowls. Love them!
Pilates ring -I swear by this thing! I try and do a 100 a day placed in between my thighs for a thigh workout that burns. I love that I can do this workout from my laptop computer!
So yummy!
I use this to aid in my milk supply while nursing.
These help with stress management and taste amazing. Win-win.

Anthropologie Scarf Wrap// Anthropologie jeans // Mindo boot by Kork-Ease

 

Ever since I can remember I’ve always had an interest in fashion and trying new outfits and looks. I love taking the same item and styling it differently with other accessories and bringing an entirely new outfit to life. My passion for this is really how my blog got started and has led me to where I’m at today. I’m so thankful I get to share the items and trends I’m loving along with mom and family life happenings as well.
I’m honestly in a place I never thought I’d be! An amazing husband and 5 kids (still getting used to this number!) and a lakehouse that is seriously a dream come true. And with fall officially underway and us still spending time at Lake Arrowhead, I’m kind of letting it inspire my style right now. One item I’ve been turning to over and over again recently are these Kork-Ease boots.
Have you ever had a Kork-Ease pair of shoes before? They’re made of absolutely incredible leather that is such high quality. These boots are sturdy, well made and very stylish so I’d say they check all the boxes. They go perfectly with cozy leggings or distressed skinnies and the heel height is perfect for anyone! Safe to say I’ll wearing these a lot this season.
What’s inspiring your style right now?
Thank you Kork-Ease for sponsoring this post!


If you ask anyone who knows me, knows I’m not an expert at makeup and keep my look pretty minimal. I prefer minimal and it fits my fast paced life of running a household of six and soon to be seven. I don’t have time to sit in front of the mirror in the morning, so what’s my 5min routine you ask, here it is. I try and put on primer (Supergoop sunscreen that acts as primer and great for this LA heatwave) concealer (a mix of RMS and Jouer concealers), bronzer and Jouer highlighter. I’ve also mentioned before, I try and use this face tanner 3x a week for some color to my face minus the UV Rays and potential damage from the sun. And. if I’m honest, I do the above while sitting at the breakfast table, strategically avoiding the honey and sticky oatmeal spills on my makeup bag, and in between homework help and clean up. One day I’ll have time for false lashes and maybe another layer of bronzer, but in the meantime, less is MORE, and I’d rather be a good mom balancing momlife with just enough bronzer and highlighter to feel a little extra. I think us mom deserve at least that.

Black and White Cami’s on Repeat

A short note on this Cle De Peau Lip Glorifier. It enhances your natural lip colors with ingredients like shea butter, glow-oil base, and gave my lips softness and appearing a little more plump. Its great for a girl on the go who whats a natural glow along with her natural look. This product makes me think of my sister who says no lip color looks good on her, she needs this lip product that just naturally brings out her natural color without adding to it. I can’t wait for her to try it.

What’s your 5 min routine? Do share!

My kids are the type that will wear costumes ALL year long, so when Anthropologie rolled out some drool worthy costumes that are kid-tested and quality made, we jumped on it. As in, the kids asked every day if they could wear their costumes. Admittedly, my kids are on the older end of their costume selection, but were hoping baby boy can wear one of their cute costumes in a couple of weeks.
