Happy Friday kids! Whew, the past few weeks have been a bit of a doozy; between a bunch of company in town and then the kiddos (and then the entire family) coming down with the plague coupled with the good 'ol 4 month sleep regression (x2), I am surviving (if you can call it that) off of a lot of caffeine. All of the caffeine in fact. But in the midst of all of the shenanigans in our household, something kinda awesome has been happening around us. Temperatures have started to dip a little. You can feel it in the air when I walk Liam to school in the mornings. It's crazy good. And with that comes all of the fall clothing - the textures, the knits, the leather, the denim. If you are looking to make a few updates to your fall wardrobe this season, I've got you covered with some must-haves.
Camo: It's not just for hunting anymore and it's everywhere. JCrew has a whole line this year aligned with it. I love it paired with feminine details (like above). It's definitely a must and something you'll be able to rock into the spring.
Embellished Denim Jackets: I'm a sucker for a good denim jacket, but man on man, are there some good ones right now. Seriously, run, don't walk to nab one of these bad boys.
Pleats: Pleated skirts have been appearing in lines for awhile now and for good reason. They are easily one of the most versatile pieces in my closet; easy to dress up and dress down depending on what you are going for in life. All of the picks below are under $100 (most quite lower) and are worth snagging.
Pumped up kicks: If someone had told me even a year ago that I would be purchasing more sneakers than heels, I would have laughed at them. Maybe it's part necessity and part that sneakers have gotten so much cuter, but whatever the reason. I'm all in. I started with these and have kept adding. Comfort + glitter FTW.

Hope you guys have a lovely weekend! Here's the intent of getting back to more of a frequently posting schedule and a healthier household next week.
Are you overwhelmed by the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yet? Yeah, me too. It's been a little aggressive out there. Between the inundation on social media and blog posts, it's been a bit much. And this from a devotee of Nordstrom. So in an effort to cut through the noise and since the sale went public to all as of today, I thought I'd share with you my top finds for those who don't have time to watch try-on sessions or read post after post on it.
If you own one pair of designer denim, it should be these. Seriously. I wear mine ALL of the time. They are super forgiving, comfortable, and most importantly stylish. They can be dressed up or dressed down. They win for best all-around.
They don't call these 'Live-In' Leggings for nothing. I'd stock up on these bad boys because they are amazing. As an aside, I do love the Zella brand. All of their pieces are uber flattering, hold up, and are incredibly affordable. If you are looking for a more elevated legging (ie. the I-intend-to-wear-yoga-pants-all-day-with-no-intention-of-working-out look), I snagged these and LOVE them.
True Story, I'm thinking of snagging this and the pink version for the girls. They are SO cute. Who cares if I need to wait until they are 2 to year them. Is that weird? Maybe. But I'm a sucker for tulle.
It's no secret around here that I am a sucker for NARS. Their blush is my go-to, their bronzer is amazing. This palette is a steal. I'd honestly say, if you pick ONE thing up this sale, it would be this. And that says something. If you are looking for cheeks and eyes, I'd snag this palette. The colors are gorgeous.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention at least one shoe and this one (under $100) is a good one.
Last year I got a similar jacket to this. This year's version is just as good and the leather feels like butter. If you are looking for a leather jacket, look no further. At under $200, it's one of the most versatile pieces in my closet. I wear it with EVERYTHING.
There's a reason that Free People keeps making this dress. It's a great all-around classic - light enough to wear now or pair it with boots in the fall, tights in the winter. It's worth grabbing while you can at a discount because you'll have severe buyers remorse later.
The full size of Advanced Night Repair is $95 by itself, but this collection is $98 and has some heavy hitters to help you look youthful and keep your skin glowing. Trust me, I'm going to need it and it's worth the splurge.
These shoes have a cult following for good reason, but at a $60 price tag, it's hard to swallow (esp when we are now buying two pairs at a time!). I have an easier time justifying it at $39 price tag and they are totally worth it.
I couldn't leave you without including something for the fellas. Maybe grabbing something for him might ease the blow of all that you are bringing home from the sale, maybe it won't. But at a price tag of $66 for a Nixon watch, this is hard to pass up.
Happy Shopping People! May the odds be ever in your favor.

If there I one thing that I love, it is a good pair of sunnies. I tend to purchase a mix of more expensive brands and less expensive options (especially for the more trendier shades) and I'm currently on the hunt for both. Below are some of my current faves on my radar and I'd love to hear some of your favorite brands and places to scoop up sunnies!
