I’ll admit, one of my favorite searches to do is for a “CHUNKY KNIT.” I mean, what other sweater knit is there? I love the texture and feel and nothing is more fall ready than a sweater. Agreed? I also wear them year round with denim shorts and when we go up to our A frame in Lake Arrowhead. Writing this post is getting me in the mood for fall, crisp cool mornings, coffee and a blueberry muffin in hand.

  1. Chunky knit I’m wearing here (it’s on sale for $12.99!)
  2. Earth Tone sweater
  3. Under $100 creme ton with cool sleeves
  4. Chunky Knit cardigan
  5. Neopolitan knit

5 Coats Under $100

One of my readers asked me to share some budget friendly options for the wintertime. I rounded up 5 coats under $100, yes under $100 can you believe?

KENNETH COLE

TOPSHOP Camel Coat

MURAL midi coat

ANDREW MARC faux leather x faux fur

TOPSHOP hooded parka super practical and cute

A good coat goes a long way. I love wearing just a plain tee under a great statement or teddy coat with classic denim. So, the investment goes a long way. Which is your favorite?

My outfit:

poncho :: tank :: cutoff shorts and similar for $60

A tank is that understated must that works hard under those overalls, paired with the cutoffs, and everything in between. I brought over 6 tanks on our road trip this summer and was amazed how many outfits I got out of them. If you love to layer, pair a cozy cashmere cardigan with jeans or a leather jacket. Boom, its a 5 minute outfit, because as moms we all know that is all we have right? My advice is, stock up, they’re worth the small investment and see my top 5 favorites below.

Comment with your favorite!

Cute Striped version under $12!?

Gingham is not just for picnics. It’s a fun-loving easy-to style print that I love with jeans, white pants or skirts. For example, I’ve had this beautiful gingham wrap dress in my closet forever  but it was too short on me, but then in dawned on me, I could pair a fluted navy skirt underneath. Midnight styling sessions while the kids sleep really is paying off. However, the 7am alarm clock is a rude awakening. Thankfully, my in-laws arrive next week. Think lots of new fresh content and date nights. Can you tell I’m excited? See here and here how I styled gingham and shop my top 6 picks below.

LA has been around 50 degree’s every morning, so layers are non-negotiable. Here, I wore a camisole, soft sweater, distressed black jeans, and go-to black boots. This outfit would also look good with a denim jacket or a faux fur coat. These black layers are wonderful basics for your closet!

Life is too short not to know about ASOS under $50 scores. I mean, SO GOOD. Tip: If you’re unsure about sizing, order both. You can easily return the one that doesn’t fit since there is free shipping both ways. My mailman is sweet enough to take my returns or I pack the kids in the car and drive to our post office a couple blocks away. Either way, it’s pretty easy!

I visited the Lunya showroom last week and was able to sit down and chat with owner, Ashley Merrill, who is also a mother of two. If you’re new to Lunya, it’s inspired sleepwear for the modern woman, which means amazingly soft and always washable! Besides discussing nap jail (when we can’t leave the house) and other embarrassing (and memorable) mommy moments, she laid out her 5 must-haves below:

Q. What is your go-to LUNYA piece?

A. Our romper! (see it here)

Q.  What type of high tops are you rockin’ these days?

Suede high tops from Common Projects High Top

Q. Go-to date night duds?

James Perse open back skinny dress in white. Simple design is always the best right?

Q. Favorite Pair of jeans?

A. This is hard. High-waisted ones from Rag + Bone

Q. Go to skincare product? Beauty secret? Spill!

Skin Clinical lotion for your face. LOVE.
