I want to share something special with you. Something that I think is worth it and helpful. Valentine’s Day is coming up, and pretty much everyone I know has someone tricky to find gifts for. The men in my life are very hard to shop for. My husband in particular usually gets the things he wants or needs, which leaves me in a tough spot when I want to get him a gift. Well, I found something special and I’m sharing it for those of you in the same boat. My husband is my best friend, my rock, and my other half. I love where time has taken us, which makes giving him this gorgeous watch even more perfect. A little gift of time.Â
If you’re new to JORD, they make hand-crafted timepieces out of sustainable all natural wood. They have beautiful watches for both men and women, and my personal favorite is the one I chose for Daniel. You can see the inside of the watch from the front and the back, giving it such a polished and unique look. They use a variety or wood, and this one is made of Dover Zebrawood and Dark Sandalwood for gorgeous contrast and detail. A perfect part of the gift is the $115 collector’s edition cedar humidor watch box and care kit that you will receive for FREE with the purchase of a Dover watch. It smells amazing and looks beautiful! It has a small drawer to keep any extra links and your cleaning cloth, and the total kit will help preserve the timepiece for years to come.Â
Giving the gift of a watch is special for many reasons. I personally love the symbolism of time. The time spent together, what time has brought you, the adventure that awaits you as time progresses. It is also something special that can be worn daily and looked at frequently, which is a reminder of the love you have for the recipient. That means a lot to me given that it is such a unique and special gift to give, that will be enjoyed for many years.Â
If you would like to see the women’s watch collection, you can click HERE. I’m personally smitten with the Rose Gold & Marble Arcadia watch! SO gorgeous and a perfect gift for someone else – or yourself! Just throwing it out there if someone special asks what YOU would like for Valentine’s day! A beautiful women’s watch is perfect! For the men’s collection, click HERE. You’ll see the DOVER that I picked out, as well as a lot of other beautiful options. Unique men’s watches, wooden watches – all perfect and special. Definitely take a look – it’s worth it! I picked a special timepiece for my dad as well – because he is someone special in our lives who helps us with so many things. Daniel and I want my dad to know how much he means to our family, and this is a little token to show him.Â
Don’t you wish Sunday came with a pause button? I sure do! We move in less than one week and all I want to do is snuggle up with Dan and the kids for a day of movies and hot chocolate by the fire! Argh! Oh well…at least I can dress the part and pack in comfort! This sherpa top is from the Gap and is completely sold out! That being said, I linked similar options below, along with my exact slippers (plus a couple others) and cute PJs that start at $16 so you can get your own cozy Sunday vibes going! Enjoy the day and pretend you found that pause button! xo
It’s 2019 – we made it! Today I’m sharing a some pops of red which make such a statement! Don’t forget that red is the perfect color for a certain LOVE holiday that is coming up in Feb! This outfit is super comfy, warm, and works in the rain (or snow). My exact coat is no longer available, but the one I linked is very similar and on SALE! My top is a beautiful olive color and is under $15 – SO GOOD! It comes in black and white as well – and looks great front tucked as well as out (like above).Â
My scarf is about $10 and comes in a bunch of patterns – a total must for the cold months. My boots and leggings are both linked below and are very versatile (I use them a ton)! My exact bag is linked and I’m obsessed! It comes in Oxblood as well and is on major SALE! I hope this quick “Shop My Look” is helpful. You can mix and match these items to accomplish a ton of looks! Comment with questions – and happy shopping! xo
Sharing a quick outfit so you can get your knits from head to toe for a deal! This look is cozy, easy to mix and match with so many other tops and pants, and it’ll get you through Winter in style. Keep scrolling for my beanie ($19) and two gorgeous items by Kate Spade which are both under $50 and would make amazing Christmas gifts! I got my sweet Sofia the necklace to match me (a for me and s for Sofia) – and I got another family member the bracelet. They are so dainty and beautiful! The necklace is the perfect length to wear alone or layer. Get these items for yourself or as gifts for those you love! Happy Holidays!Â
It’s chilly outside and cozy inside. The perfect time of the year for beanies, boots and scarves. My hair is basically shoved under a beanie for half of Fall and all of Winter! It saves me a ton of time and it still looks cute! 😉Â
Sofia and I had a twinning moment in our beanies and scarves a few days ago. We were so comfy and warm – plus it was fun! The scarves, hats and leggings are items that you’ll use time and time again – I know I do. You can layer them with different tunics, sweaters and more. Not to mention Sofias’s hat has an adult version (for an exact match), and my hat is under $20 making it the perfect gift to yourself or someone you love. I got it pink too! So cute!
Keep scrolling for our outfits linked below. For my tunic, I sized up to a small for a more cozy fit, and layered it with a top extender for more length. Everything else is true to size.

Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life. Ok ok…maybe that’s going too far. However, these shoes are pretty perfect if you ask this mommy and daughter duo! We are completely smitten with these Valentino Garavani Rockstud Slingback look-alikes!Â
Sofia has the most adorable studded flats on that are so comfy yet dressy – they are perfection. I got them from StyleChild by JL (peep them on Instagram as well). They have the best kids gear – I’m totally obsessed! My shoes have a pointed toe (like the Valentino’s) but the point starts far enough away from the toe area that they are very comfy. The heel is also the perfect height – not too high to walk and function (huge requirement for this mama) – but high enough to look and feel sassy!Â
I’ve linked my exact shoes as well as Sofia’s below. I got Sofia a size 10 and myself a size 7 – both fit true to size in my opinion. I’m sometimes between sizes (6.5 to 7) and went with a 7 to have extra toe room. You’ll also find the Valentino’s below for comparison (or if you can afford the real deal)! Lastly – there’s some very similar flats for those of you out there who want to match but don’t want the heel. Totally valid – and truthfully – sometimes really needed. These are currently in my cart!Â
My exact black dress (a FAVE – super flattering – under $100) is linked as well as other items that are very similar to ours – in case you need holiday party gear! If you snag this dress (which you totally should) – size up based on the brand (and to save a little extra room for Christmas cookies). Scroll down to shop our look, comment below with the favorite shoes you’ve ever owned, and have beautiful day!Â
So much goodness comes from my trips to Target…like my entire outfit! Yup… this whole look came from Target and is super budget friendly! The sweater is soft and fits true to size in my opinion (I’m in an XS for reference), the mules are super comfy with a squishy inside, the earrings look more expensive than they are – by far – and my jeans are only $20 and have rave reviews! The only thing in this photo that isn’t from Target is my bag (which I figure doesn’t count) – but I linked a super similar one that IS from Target so it’s still a total win!Â
Scroll down to snag this look while these cutie items are still in stock. My fave faux pumpkin (perfect since it’ll last forever) – is also from Target and matches my outfit. 😉 They have the cutest mini pumpkins available right now – along with a 25% off sale this Sat and Sun only on home decor. Look at my Instagram post ASAP for a peek at how to style these pumpkins in your home for Thanksgiving this year! Happy weekend!
This sweater and these boots have gotten a lot of questions – which is why I pulled together a quick “shop my look.” Scroll down to see my exact sweater – which is linked below and is under $20. I have already gotten so much use out of it with a black skirt (see this blog post), black jeans, blue jeans, and more. It would look so cute with a cordoroy skirt like this one! It’s so comfy and I love that it doesn’t break the bank – but looks like it cost you $$. Not to mention that the retailer who has this sweater is having a Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off SALE right now! Eeek!Â
My jeans, hat and boots are sold out – so I’ve linked very similar versions below. You’ll find similar accessories as well – along with my actual cuffed bangles which are under $15! So pretty with gold and Fall colors! Do you have a favorite leopard print item in your closet? Comment and share your thoughts! Don’t forget to have a wonderful week and happy shopping!Â
Happy almost Halloween! Are you excited to dress up? My kiddos LOVE to play dress-up all year round, so Halloween is an extra special treat because we go all out as a family! The thing is, this year has been a little crazy for us. If you aren’t ready for Halloween, don’t worry! You aren’t alone. I’ve pulled together several costumes for the whole family – many that can ship same day or by the 31st.Â
Not all sizes are available for super fast shipping – so make sure to pay attention to the sizes and availability while you look at the options below. Also, look at the shipping options in the checkout screen – and if you have PRIME – you may even have an advantage. Some costumes even had coupons that you can “clip” with a click of your mouse – and who doesn’t like a couple extra dollars off? I hope this quick roundup helps prepare you for some Halloween fun! Yay! xo
Why do studded shoes make everything so much better? Today is a very quick share because these studded mules are under $25 and so cute – and sharing is caring! They elevate casual outfits and make them so chic (my shirt said so – so it must be true)! 🙂Â
The skinny on my mules is you MUST size up! I’m between a 6.5 and 7 in shoes, and I ordered these in a 7.5. The material is a little stiff, so by sizing up they are way more comfortable! Easy fix, huh? I had them on while I ran errands, dropped off my kids at school, took my dogs for a walk, etc. and was totally comfortable! Sizing up gives you the extra room these need to be comfortable and functional. They are so worth it! They look a lot more expensive than they are, the studs are perfect, they are super on trend, and I get so many compliments whenever I wear them. Scroll down for this outfit – my exact shoes – and some similar pairs.Â
I also included my sweater (which is oversized and so cozy) and my exact “chic” shirt which I love because the arm holes are a little large which give it a very relaxed feel (a bralette works perfect underneath).
You’ll also find my exact hat, which hides undone (huge win) hair while also making you a Fall fashion maven, some gold Fall accessories to match everything (dressed up or down), some super cute cozy slippers, and the mug I have my eye on! Did I mention that a ton of these items are from #target – are super affordable – and total Fall must haves? Please comment with any questions or feedback – I love hearing from you! Muah!Â
