Fall

Fall is here and I am amazed by the vast selection of stylish and affordable coats available this season. At these prices, you may not have to choose just one. Check out some of my favorite finds under $100 and under $200. Fall Coats Under $100 Gap – $98.00 Asos – $71.71 Old Navy –…

I love it when the weather is cool enough to start wearing boots. Mine are patiently waiting for me in the back of my closet until the Southern California weather is cool enough to break them out. The thing that I love most about a short boot, or bootie, is that I find them more…

One of my dear friends from high school tied the knot in Brooklyn NY last weekend. Sadly, I was unable to attend, but her festivities had me daydreaming about what I would have worn should I have made the trip.I love a fall wedding; there is just something about the changing seasons and the colors…

Are you in a makeup rut? Personally, I know I am. I tend to stick to my 5-minute no-makeup look most days of the week. I hardly ever throw on lipstick or veer very far from my standard brown eyeshadows. It’s not that I don’t love trying out new makeup – I do! I just don’t take the time to try out new trends that often.

I have a shoe addiction problem. Since we just moved, I had to buy three shoe racks to fit all my shoes, and my poor husband didn’t even get one. Although I do have a shoe problem, lucky for me, I already own several pairs that fit into the major fall shoe trends this season.

Have you checked out all of the fall handbag trends yet? If not, you’re in luck. I did a bunch of research and found the best picks for 6 of the major trends this season.

Are you a hat person? I wasn’t much of a fashion hat person until really recently, but there are so many cute fedoras for fall that I’m crushing on right now.

I know what you’re thinking. Weekends are all about the yoga pants and sneakers. Don’t get me wrong – I’ll wear that on the weekends too. But, I try really hard to relegate those looks to when I’m actually going to the gym on the weekends. There’s nothing wrong with black leggings and sneakers, but there is a way to achieve chic weekend outfits that look more together without that much effort.

Have you taken advantage of the Amazon Prime Day deals yet? There are so many amazing deals. If you haven’t thought of Amazon as a place to buy clothing, you should think about it. They have so many cute options at really affordable prices. The sweater dress I’m wearing is actually old, but I linked to several other Amazon sweater dresses that are equally as cute and for super affordable prices.

I’ve really been into pleather and faux leather lately. When I found this mixed material faux leather midi skirt, I knew I had to add it to my wardrobe. Its such a unique piece that can work throughout the year. It can be dressed up or down depending on my mood. I think it looks amazing with other neutral colors and could be great with a t-shirt or dressed up with a blouse.

You know when you’ve been somewhere so many times, but it feels like the first time? That’s how I felt on my most recent trip to New York. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been in the city, but this was the first time I was there while the leaves were changing. I can’t even tell you how special it was to experience Central Park in the Fall. It made me fall in love with New York all over again.

I’m back with another pumpkin spice recipe! I just can’t help myself. It is my favorite time (and flavor) of the year. I’m extra excited about this avocado pumpkin spice cake recipe because – duh – it has fresh avocados!

As a working mom, my weekends are when I get the most quality time with my kids. The rest of the week, I constantly feel like I’m managing their requests and time so strictly that I have to say no a lot. On the weekends, we can finally let go, just have fun and I can finally say YES!

Are you a pumpkin spice fan? It’s one of my favorite flavors. I love fall because it means I get to bake with as much pumpkin spice as I want. I absolutely adore all things pumpkin spice. If you follow my recipes, you know that I’ve created a lot of pumpkin spice recipes over the years. (cookies, ice cream, coffee cake, bars, pancakes, just to name a few). This year, I wanted to try something completely new. My cousin-in-law recently made these pumpkin spice shortbread cookies, so I knew I had to give this recipe a shot – and my own spin.

Fall is my favorite season and I love Halloween. Honestly, I’m not much for decorating, though. Don’t get me wrong, I like Halloween and fall decorations, but I generally only focus on Christmas decorating.
