Fall Home & Style Wish List
Girlfriend Gift Guide | 10 Under $50
Girlfriends are sometimes both the toughest and easiest to buy for, aren't they?! While you want to give them something unique and totally "them"... it's often hard to straddle the gap of a cool gift and keep it affordable. So this holiday season, I plan to pick out one gift to give to all of my gal pals and voila! Shopping made easy, no?
What are some of YOUR favorite gifts to give (or receive) with your girlfriends??? Check out some of the below gifts for your holiday shopping this year!
Summer-to-Fall Transition Piece | Velvet Top
Currently I'm sitting in a hotel room at the half-way point through our family's vacation. I had remembered that I never posted about my new velvet top I was so stoked about. One may think (and may be correct in assuming) that velvet is only for cooler weather. I thought that too...until I wore this top. It's lined and surprisingly breezy, lending itself to being a great transition piece from summer into fall. I comes in a variety of colors, including midnight blue as well as this mauve I'm wearing. I like it so much!
Once home from our trip, I'll be sure to post all the highlights and some travel tips from the places we've been. Just to give you a little snippet...today, we rode the Maid of the Mist boat at Niagara Falls and the kids LOVED it! So did I, but it was especially fun getting to watch their faces in awe. I hope you all are enjoying your first week of August. Summer is winding down and it doesn't quite seem fair. Here's to cherishing these last several weeks before school starts back!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Update | High-Low Wrap Tunic
Some of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases came in and I'm loving what I got! For the most part, the sizes fit but I'll be making some exchanges soon. I bought several tops that are a bit out of the everyday-wear category...meaning ruffles, high-low, big sleeves, etc....and I LOVE them! I wore this oversized bow shirt to church yesterday and this high-low wrap tunic (plenty of sizes still available) to our family birthday celebration. It's lightweight and easy to wear with skinny jeans (as shown) or leggings or even over a fitted pencil skirt!!!
If you missed my Nordstrom sale round-up posts, check out my Favorite Finds in Category post and my 25 Under $50 post. As I've mentioned before, the best way to shop this incredible sale is online because of their free shipping and free returns, not to mention Nordstrom's stellar customer service. Really, I always find myself impressed with how they continue to go above and beyond! But don't wait, several pieces I really wanted to get my hands on already sold out!
Let me know what Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks YOU snagged for yourself...I'd love to know (and even better see)!

Summer Gingham | Smart Style
Happy Hump Day friends!!! Gosh this week is flying by, and it is O-K-A-Y by me! Summer can't get here fast enough. I'm not too excited about the heat, but not being on a schedule with the kids is going to be heavenly!!!
One thing I love about summer is how gingham is EVERYWHERE right now! I've seen it in skirts, tops, and even shoes. This checkered trend can be styled in so many different ways, like this ruffled-sleeve gingham top I'm wearing. I cannot wait to mix up this top dressy and casual...it's super chic (did you notice the neck cut-out?) and light enough fabric for the summer months.
What is your go-to for summer wear? Lots of whites? Easy-breezy? or just plain Cool?

Happy Friday friends!!! Are you ready for the weekend??? This week seemed to fly by, as does this vague time in January. It's after the holidays, a sense of routine and normalcy has returned...and I feel we're in that "no-man's-land" of the beginning of the year. Anyone know what I mean? I think we all do best when we have something to look forward to...whether that's the next holiday, a vacation, a pedicure, or what have you. That's where I am right now...in-between things to look forward to and I just need to set some goals for myself. ;)
I think I'll put together a goal post soon, but for today, I want to share this darling J.Crew top my momma gave me for Christmas. I've had my eye on it and loved when I tried it on and it fit!!! Not fit meaning the right size, but fit as in layed right and didn't look too boxy. Right now, it's 20% off at both Nordstrom and at J. Crew. I styled it with simple skinny jeans, but am looking for a pink or navy pencil skirt to pair it with...Lots of possibilities for this top!!!
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!!! For those in the winter storm, stay warm and safe!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve Friends!!!! Are you ready for some good eating and family time tomorrow? I sure am! I'm also excited about doing a little shopping! Not only do I have my eye on some of the Black Friday deals, but also Cyber Monday and Small Business Saturday. One of our great small businesses here in Texas is the Stitch Shoppe along with Lavish Leathers (I'm wearing pieces from both in this look). I love supporting small businesses, but especially women who are girl-bossing it like a....well, like a Boss!

Nordstrom Fall Clearance | Booties
Fall Floral + Denim
Dress: Roolee // Booties: Nordstrom // Bag: Fawn Design // Earrings: Lavish Leathers // Watch: Michael Kors // Necklace: Nordstrom
I'm a sucker for a good fall floral. I'm not huge on the Spring and Summer floral patterns (the light colors), but give me a dark hue with some muted jewel tones and I'm sold!!!! This dress being exhibit A. In addition to the perfect pattern, this long-sleeve, midi style can be worn with so much!!! Think fur vest, cardigans, scarfs, denim vest, belted, with tights....and the list could go on!!! This one is from Roolee Boutique (and is sold out), but I've also linked several similar styles at the end of this post. A definite must-have for your fall/winter style!

My Favorite Fall Top
My style lately has pretty much consisted of these flowy tunic tops. I mean, they're everything. Comfy. Cute. Stylish. And you can eat 5 burritos and no one will be the wiser. I'm trying to find track down every variation of this style I can find...so far I'm up to 3 (and maybe I should stop there). But man, they sell out fast! I've seen them at Brooks & Co., Jane, and Shop Fancy Free.
And mark my words friends, I will wear this trend out. Try it. You won't be able to quit. Promise. You're welcome.
Beautiful Utah | Hiking Mount Timpanogos
Wow, Utah is just gorgeous...isn't it!? We hiked Mount Timpanogos and saw first hand the beauty of autumn in the mountains. We weren't able to summit because it was already impassable without proper gear (snow), but we hiked as far as we could, making it to Emerald Lake. And I'm not gonna lie---it was tough. I knew I was out of shape, but geez...factoring in the altitude and hiking in a rain storm made me feel super accomplished when we made it back down the mountain!
I overcame physical pain and really had to put into practice "mind-over-matter". Going down was extremely painful (I'm officially old), but totally different from the pain/exhaustion going up. But gosh it was worth it! The views were so beautiful and it was absolutely lovely each time I stopped to look back over where we'd came. Thankfully, the mountain was pretty quiet that day and we only encountered a few other hikers. Hopefully some of these pics do it justice...and I definitely would recommend doing this hike if you ever get a chance!!!! I'm hoping to do it again sometime in the summer when we can summit.
On the drive up to Utah, coming up on this arch had me like a giddy little girl!!!! I've always wanted to see and arch and I had resigned myself that we probably wouldn't unless we ventured into one of the national parks. So imagine my surprise when we came around a curve to this beauty!!! Just amazing!
