I’m loving the sweater weather right now! I know I’m not alone, so this is a quick styling based on the outfit above. Sweaters, jeans and boots are always a win! There are a couple other fave items thrown in there as well because…well…why not! Keep scrolling for my outfit, a similar styling, and some fun must haves.
My exact sweater is from the Gap, is on sale now, runs true to size (I’m in an XS for reference), and is linked above. My exact jeans are also Gap, on sale now, and fit amazingly well! They hold you in – but you can also move around with ease. I have these in 5 colors (all purchased on sale) and I’m obsessed! My exact boots are no longer available, but the ones above are very similar and are under $40. My designer dupe belt is under $15 and is a fave. This belt is not a high quality item – but it does the trick as a simple belt – and has the look that I want for WAY less. Style win!
Above, I’ve styled a similar outfit that you can get on a budget. The sweater can be tucked in but if you size up, can also be more of a tunic. It has the cute details and is currently $25.99. The jeans have a nice amount of stretch in them (use size chart), nice distressing, and are under $25. The boots are knee high with a zipper, and the color is beautiful. They fit a slimmer calf so keep that in mind. The belt is another designer dupe, is fun, sassy, and under $20.
The hat above is similar to the one I have on, and a deal at about $15. The bag is Vegan Leather, reversible (click the image to see both sides – so perfect), has lots of room and is fantastic for travel! You’ll find two inserts above that I recommend for totes. I use one in my Neverfull – which is a huge win since without it – I can’t find a thing! That’s it! I hope this helps you snag some casual yet chic items to sport this winter. Have a fantastic week! Muah!
It has been so cold and grey out lately, we needed to add in some shades of green. Scroll down for some of my fave green jackets and to shop our look. Time to add some green into your wardrobe for the New Year! Heads up that my jacket is very light weight and Sofia’s is nice and toasty warm. I’ve included options for folks who need lighter and heavier jacket options. Stay warm and have a great week everyone! xo

Scroll down to shop this look. You’ll see some cozy cream sweaters below that will match everything and get lots of use this season.

My FAVE part of this outfit is my lace top extender. It gives some length to my sweater and works under pretty much any top. I’ve linked to some of my favorites below (which I DO own and use regularly). They change the look of tops and sweaters, extending them to give you that comfortable look while also giving a little extra comfort that your tush is covered. 😉

Most of the scarves linked below have something in common…they are infinity scarves. I love all scarves, but infinity scarves are the easiest in my opinion. You throw it on, loop it, and you look polished! They are my go to in the Fall and Winter.

I’ve linked to my exact burgundy bag below. It is an amazing designer dupe Chloe bag that is not only Vegan leather (big win and super humane), but the quality is wonderful! It’s also only $40 right now – and comes with a strap! My exact boots are also linked below. They have the perfect chunky heel that is the right height for walking all day long or chasing kiddos! 😉 They are under $55 right now and so worth it!

Below you’ll find a couple of sparkly beanies that are fun, warm and inexpensive. I like a deal and sparkles are always a win! The jeans linked below are the same brand as the ones I have on in the photo above. They are comfy and fit pretty TTS. I think this brand tends to stretch a little bit as you wear them, so you can get away with your normal size or size down. Super comfy and great jeans to wear with boots.

Not sure how you feel about it, but red lips make me feel beautiful! Especially during the holidays, when red in all its glory is accepted as part of the festivities. This little roundup is of my fave red lip colors. The red lip color I’m wearing in the photo above (which I’ve gotten lots of questions about) is by Sephora and is linked below. Hope this helps! Happy Holidays! Muah!
Sofia is 2 and all about being a ballerina. She literally woke up and said to me, “Mommy! Let’s be ballerinas today!” So I went with it! We dressed up in pink, did ballet in our living room, and then went grocery shopping as ballerinas. Haha! She is definitely going to love the Nutcracker ballet this year!
I’ve linked to some of my fave pink items bellow in case you want to get your ballerina on. Scroll down to shop our looks. xo

This pink sweatshirt has the cutest white laces on the sleeves and is very soft. If you want a more relaxed look, size up! I am usually an XS and I ordered a M. View photos of me for fit.
The white tank is lightweight and perfect for extending almost any top. It runs true to size and is very soft. It also washes really well (lay flat to dry). The Spanx faux leather pants are a staple in my wardrobe and also fit true to size. I am sporting them in an XS and absolutely love them! Comfortable and contained – not to mention sassy!
My black Uggs are something I use in and out of the house. Definitely worth every penny since I use them constantly, they are crazy comfy and perfect to throw on for almost anything

Sofia is only 2 years old but is tall for her age, so I always size up. Take a look at the size charts to find the best fit for your little one. As for the accessories, the shoes are easy to slip on and off and a deal at under $10.
Her BFF Bitsy is the cutest little ballerina bunny you will ever see. She is perfect for any little girl who loves pink, bunnies, dancing, and bows. You can see her in pretty much every photo I post of Sofia on my blog and IG. Hope this helps your little one dance happy all holiday long! xoxo
Red is a classic color during the holidays. It’s festive, fun, and can add some much needed sass to any outfit! This is a roundup of fun red tops that are perfect for all of your holiday get togethers. They are flirty yet holiday appropriate, which is the perfect balance when looking for an outfit for a work or family function this season.
Keep scrolling down to shop my look and view some saucy skirts that will pair perfectly with your red top of choice.

My fave OTK boots (designer dupe) are linked below. I have worn these a lot and gotten tons of questions about where to get them. They are very comfortable and flattering. Snag ’em before they are gone!
My faux fur scarf, designer dupe bag (under $30), and sunglasses (under $7) will class up any outfit. These black items will go with anything, and can be used with outfits all your round. Great value and perfect new items to add to your closet. Scroll down to take a look!

Time to add some festive pops of red to your wardrobe. Happy shopping! XO
Being that it is germ season (which seems to go from bad to worse in the Fall if you have kids)…I want to share some of my fave loungewear. Even when I don’t feel awesome (like today), I still do drop off and pick up for Gabe as well as run errands with Sofia. Workout pants are often a go to item for me, but comfy jeans are a big win in these colder months.
Scroll down to shop my look. I’ve linked to some of my fave shirts, hats, jeans and other cozy must haves to make it easier to “do life” while sick or just exhausted.
Bottoms & Boots
I’ve linked to two jeans that I love above. The jeans on the left in the darker wash are the ones in the photos of me. Reviews say they run true to size, and I agree for the most part. They loosen as you wear them, so I personally would size down. I have a 0 on in the pics for size reference. They are crazy comfy, super soft, and really cute! Did I mention they wash and dry like a dream? Huge mommy win if you have kids or dogs and get messy a lot! Ha!
Tops
These tops are comfy, low maintenance, and still have a little polish to them. It’s a great combo when you want to feel like you’re in PJs but not look like it. 😉
Beanies
In the spirit of TMI – I am not great at washing my hair on weekdays. Yes, I DO take a shower every day…BUT – I don’t always have time to wash my hair and get it dry/looking decent. A braid, bun and/or hat are my go to’s when it comes to messy hair. Not to mention really great dry shampoo! Messy hair…don’t care! I’ve gotcha covered, literally!
Accessories
When I’m running errands in my cozies, my fitbit is my go to because it makes me feel productive. My fave is the amount of steps I gain while having dance parties with my pumpkins or walking my dogs. Those are FUN steps!
My new Fitbit is by far the best one I’ve tried! It tracks my heart rate, sleep, and even synchs to my phone so I can see texts when they come through. A huge bonus when I’m working out at the gym and don’t want to pull out my phone!
I replaced the black strap with a pretty silver one for under $10 that is magnetic! It fits like a dream and is perfect with jeans and dressier wear for work etc. The strap comes in several other colors like black and rose gold as well. Definitely worth checking out – and a serious deal for how cute it is! I’ve linked to it because even on “beanie” days, it’s nice to feel like you’ve been somewhat active!
Beauty Hacks
I’ve also included dry shampoo and bronzers -because they are my must haves on the craziest of days! These are considered “beauty hacks” because they will help you get out the door feeling a little more “human” without much effort or time required.
I think this easy go to outfit counts as a life hack! 😉 Have a wonderful day and please comment if you would like additional details about any of the products I’ve linked to.

Holiday time means pops of red, cozy sweater dresses and festive accessories. For my angel face, I found these amazing red velvet pom pom shoes. I can’t even tell you how comfy and cute they are. Sofia is obsessed with them – and they are on SALE right now!
I’ve linked to Sofia’s entire outfit below. You can get her actual dress (on sale), a set of 6 cutie socks for under $15, a set of bows to match every outfit, and those ruby slippers (also on sale). Click below to snag this adorable outfit which is perfect for these colder months. Not to mention, those shoes will work perfectly to visit Santa!
I’ve also linked to some alternative items that are similar and absolutely adorable! Sofia has a little Tiffany necklace on in the photo, but the mommy and me cross set below is beautiful! The bunny is our favorite – and that is no lie! Her name is Bitsy Bunny and we have several of her in our house. We have 2 of these holiday Bitsy Bunnies, and 4 or 5 of them in the classic pink. Sofia will not leave the house or sleep without Bitsy, so I have extras on hand so I am able to wash them without issue. I highly recommend Bitsy for your little one or as a gift. Imagine how cute a holiday Bitsy would look peeking out of a stocking! Such a sweet and amazing bunny. You can see the size in the photo above – Sofia is holding one of her pink Bitsy’s.
Take advantage of these sales before everything goes back to normal. So many great deals right now – don’t miss out!
Have a Ruby Slipper week! xoxo
