We just got back from a weekend in Paso Robles spent wine tasting! It was only a two day getaway and I managed to pack really light. I brought only the pieces above (minus the hat because I forgot it, and the boyfriend denim jacket). I wore everything I packed except for the booties and wanted to share five weekend outfits I made from this mini capsule.

top row: hat, boyfriend denim jacket, faux fur mules

second row: yellow cross body bag, plaid mini dress, denim jacket

third row: sneakers, leather tote, lounge outfit

fourth row: black waffle knit top, beige collared sweater, black maxi

bottom row: cardigan, black jeans, booties

outfit 1 (roadtrip outfit): lounge set, caridgan, sneakers, leather tote

outfit 2 (night time): black waffle knit top, black jeans, faux fur mules

outfit 3 (daytime wine tasting): denim jacket, plaid dress, yellow cross body (sneakers or booties)

outfit 4 (night time): beige collared sweater, black jeans (booties or faux fur mules)

outfit 5 (travel outfit): black maxi dress, denim jacket, yellow cross body bag

A few weeks ago I mentioned things I was excited to wear in the fall. One of them was this collarless sweater blazer from J. Crew. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be a great staple piece, not just for fall, but to wear all year. It’s incredibly flattering and so versatile. It comes in the khaki I have and 4 other colors too. It’s definitely not sweater weather here yet, but in the coming weeks we’ll start to have slightly cooler mornings and nights and I know I’ll reach for this over and over. I got a jumpstart on wearing it and styled it three different ways.

Sizing info – I should mention this runs a bit big, but I find that to be the case with most things at J. Crew. I’m wearing an xxs and it fits great but will still be comfortable with heavier layers worn under.

Over shorts and a tank, this is probably the most realistic way to start wearing it now. Perfect for a cooler morning that you know will turn into a warm day.

With jeans and a tee. Honestly the weather is so mild here this is something I could probably wear most of the year. This tee has long sleeves but is super thin/easy to layer.

Over faux leather leggings for an “off duty” or post workout look. Another outfit I’ll be able to wear most of the year. If you live somewhere where it gets colder, you could wear a sweatshirt under for added warmth.

Early this year I wrote this post about kid’s inspired Golden Goose sneakers I found. It might be my most popular post of the year – thanks to Pinterest! But I thought it was time to update it since the shoes I originally shared are no longer available.

Crosby wore the glitter sneakers to the ground and was still squeezing into them about a month ago. I was so sad to see they are no longer available online but I searched all over to find a few similar options…

I ordered her this pair about 3 weeks ago – they finally came last weekend after 2.5 weeks since they’re not on Prime. So far I like them, they don’t have a zipper like last year’s pair but are still easy to get on. She normally wears a size 6, but the smallest they had was an 8. I took a chance and ordered it anyway. They’re definitely a little roomy but I would say they run small – size up!

This pair looks like the hi-top version of the glitter pair that’s no longer available. They come in 2 colors – I’m loving the silver – and have a nice range of sizes starting at 5.5. Also not on Prime so my guess is they’d take a few weeks to arrive.

I also found these which look really similar to the first pair. They come in a few different colors and some are even “fur” lined. They don’t have many toddler sizes but might be a good choice if you have an older kid who wants a pair.

Moving away from Amazon, I saw this pair in Gap Kids earlier this week. I love the pink shoelaces against the leopard print – very Golden Goose inspired. They’re on sale online right now but don’t have a lot of sizes left. Act fast if you’re interested.

We recently got this pair from Freshly Picked. They’re very simple and are totally unisex. Bonus, the laces aren’t real and are so easy to slip on and off. The white with gray definitely gives me Golden Goose vibes.

Happy Thanksgiving week! I cannot believe how quickly this holiday crept up on us this year, but I feel like I’m going to be saying that about every holiday from now on. I put this casual outfit together with post-holiday comfort in mind. It could be something you wear to travel this week, after the big meal Thursday when you want to relax, on black Friday when the last thing you want to do is put on pants with a zipper. Or maybe that’s just me… #pregnancyproblems.

On Thursday I’ll probably wear jeans and an oversized sweater. I just got this one and it’s super comfy but still really cute and perfect for a family get together. I just checked and it’s actually supposed to be chilly here on Thanksgiving for the first time in I don’t even know how long. The last couple of years it’s been warm, and anything but fall like. Fingers crossed it doesn’t heat up this week.

Here I’m wearing a tshirt and joggers from N Philanthropy, a newer brand I’ve grown to love. They have the best basics that are really comfortable, I keep saying I’m going to be living in them until this baby is born. I love that everything can be dressed up or down…. and clearly not maternity but perfect for a growing bump. But the best part is they live up to their philanthropy and give back. 10% of proceeds go to Children’s Hospital LA, the ASPCA, SPCALA and other local animal charities.

I’ve had a hard time finding joggers that work on petites. A lot of times they’re too baggy and can end up looking too casual (for joggers), I love the way N Philanthropy’s fit. I have a few pairs and they hit me right above the ankle (I’m 5’4) and are a little more fitted. If you’re wanting a more oversized look, you can always size up.

Thanks for reading – hope you have a great holiday week!

I’m 17 weeks pregnant now and feel like I’ve popped! With Crosby I wasn’t visibly showing until around 22 weeks…. it happens a lot faster the second time. I also feel like time is going by sooo fast now. Like I’m going to blink and it’s going to be baby time. Trying to soak up these last months with just Crosby.

It’s getting harder and harder to take pictures with a toddler. When we took these I had some eggless cookies my mom made in my bag. She used applesauce in place of eggs since Crosby’s allergic. They were a great bribe… but as you can see they never really left her mouth. We took these around 5 pm and I think she was on such a sugar-high she only slept for two hours and was up and wired the rest of the night. Same thing happened on Halloween when she had a few pieces of candy. #lessionlearned

I’m loving these vintage inspired tee’s I found at Target for Crosby. I got her this ACDC one, this Grateful Dead one and this cute Nasa one. They’re so comfortable for her sometimes she’ll even nap in them. And they’re a great price point at $10.

The dress I’m wearing is great for a bump… but it’s also really flattering if you don’t have one. I got it last year about this time so I wasn’t able to wear it while I was pregnant with Crosby… excited to wear it this go-around. It comes in lots of colors and even a long sleeve version that’s perfect for the chillier months.

Hope you’ve had a great weekend! Coming to you on a Sunday with another casual fall outfit, and a look I’ve been repeating quite a bit the past few weeks. But that’s probably very obvious. A hat, tee, some fun jewelry, cutoff shorts and sneakers are all pieces I’ve had on repeat and I don’t see that stopping any time soon.

We’ve been pretty lucky with weather… it can get HOT this time of year, but so far it’s been pretty mild. There have even been a few days when it’s in the low 70’s so I swap my shorts for a pair of high-waisted jeans. Really getting creative over here. 🙂

I’ve had this hat for years and it’s my favorite. It’s so hard to find hats that fit and aren’t too floppy. I’ve purchased and returned a lot that end up being floppier than I thought. I love a good structured brim so I’ve searched high and low for some similar options… mostly because I wear this one too much. I’ll probably “accidentally” add at least one to my cart.

• This one comes in three colors, is only $34 and has a great brim.
• Hat Attack is one of my favorite hat designers and I love this one.
• Another one I’m loving for fall is this one. How fun is the feather?
• This one is a really pretty shade of grade and the brim looks like it will stay put.
• I love the dark brown and black options on this one and it’s under $50.
• Obsessed with this one with the wider brim, also under $50.
• I love the mustard bands on this one from Hat Attack.
