We’re officially in the homestretch of the longest year in history… at least that’s what it seems like. Usually once we hit Halloween the rest of the year flies by, I’m counting on that to happen even though the holidays are all going to be a little different this year. Today I’m sharing my September top 5, and for the first time since May, it’s entirely new items.

As a mom of two toddlers in 2020 it’s so hard to stay organized with everything. Some days I feel like I have it all together. I get up early to get ready and drink coffee before the kids get up, breakfast goes smoothly, we head out on an outing in the morning and seamlessly make it to nap time. Other days (these seem to happen more often) I feel like I’m constantly trying to play catch up. Re-heating my coffee a few times, cleaning up constant messes, not making it out of my pjs before noon and realizing I we’re out of diapers/laundry detergent/sunblock/wipes, etc even though I just went shopping the day before.

Have you ever seen a happier leopard?! I can’t believe Halloween is just over a month away. For the second year in a row Crosby told me what she wants to be and what she wants Wilder to be. She definitely calls the shots! Last year she was a butterfly and he was a frog, but I had to put him in her old baby leopard costume for a few photos too. Crosby wore this in a Halloween fashion show on Access Hollywood Live when she was 7 months old and fell asleep on camera. Wilder seemed to love wearing it and was just about the cuddliest little leopard cub.

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 this pretty khaki 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.

I realized the other day it was six months ago we went into lockdown and the world shut down. Half a year! While we’re not in an extreme lockdown situation anymore, life has definitely changed. Neither of my kids have been to a store or restaurant since the beginning of March and we are limiting our outings as well. That being said there are three things I’ve loved having while quarantining at home and will continue to use moving forward.

This time of year is always a little tricky for me to dress for. It’s definitely still summer here (it will be warm until at least November), on one hand I’d love to live in swimwear and cutoffs all year, but part of me wants a little bit of fall. I’m starting to shop and incorporate a few fall-ish items into my wardrobe.

We just got back from a quick staycation at Monarch Beach Resort. It was my first time being away from both kids overnight in SO LONG. Jeff and I went with friends and had a blast. We packed a lot into just over 24 hours and I packed several outfits as well. I wanted to share a breakdown of everything I wore.

Hello September! I read a funny meme the other day that said, “I can’t believe it’s already September. Wasn’t it just March 15 years ago?” Pretty much sums up 2020 so far. Somehow the months are speeding by but the days can feel so long. Today I’m sharing my top 5 best sellers from August.

It’s no secret I love accessories. Bracelets, necklaces, handbags, hats, etc. I’m a fan of them all. One accessory I wear every day in the summer is a pair of sunglasses. I keep a few in my car and the rest in this amazing case I found on Amazon. It’s perfect for storing up to 5 pairs at a time… it rolls up pretty small and would be great for travel (whenever that happens). Today I want to share 4 of my favorite pairs of inexpensive glasses I found on Amazon.

Calendar wise the end of August is typically the end of summer, but in southern California (and several other places), summer is just heating up. We will have really hot days until at least Halloween and this year I really want to soak them up at the beach as much as possible. Usually by September the crowds are a lot smaller and the beach is easier to do. Fingers crossed that’s still true for this wacky year.
