2020 was the year that really changed the way I shop. Instead of buying trendy stand out pieces I’ve gone back to basics and curated a wardrobe of staples that I reach for over and over again. I found the holes in my closet and filled them with what I know I need and will wear. A lot of last year was spent in leggings and lounge wear, but I found just by having the right items getting dressed was fun. This year is starting out the same – meaning I’m not shopping for dresses, heels, or statement-y pieces. Which is why I wanted to start this series sharing staples I’ve chosen for the month and plan to style multiple ways.

Hello 2021
similar bodysuit, joggers, slippers, wine glasses
Hello 2021! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season despite how different things may have been. I did not set out to take a 2+ week break from blogging, it just kind of happened that way. Now that we’re in the new year I’m planning on getting back to a regular schedule here. I’ve been blogging for almost 9 years now and want to bring back a lot of focus here in the new year.

Last Minute Toddler & Baby Stocking Stuffers
We are officially 9 days away from Christmas (how??) and hopefully most of your shopping is done. I know I’m still thinking of little things here and there. Today I wanted to talk about stocking stuffer ideas for toddlers and babies. Let’s be real, the last thing mom’s want are more tiny toys/pieces/parts anything that will just end up in the trash. I put together a list of things I’m planning to put in my kids stockings if you’re at a loss. Everything is in stock and will arrive before Christmas.

All the Walmart+ Benefits
my sweatshirt, slippers, Crosby’s doll, brush & detangler
Sometimes it feels like time is moving at hyper speed. How are we just over a week away from Christmas?! I don’t know about you, but I’m still crossing gifts off my list…. it’s never-ending. One thing that’s making my life a little easier is my Walmart+ membership. If you’re not familiar with Walmart+ I’m happy to share my experience!

Striped Family Matching Sweaters
While on one of my trips to Target last week I came across the cutest matching sweaters for me and Crosby. They come in four different color combs and I picked the one I thought she’d like the best. Once I got home and looked online I saw they were also available in little girls sizes and there was even an adorable matching romper for babies in one of the color combos.

Six Ways to Style a Shacket
This fall the “shacket” has taken over. Are you familiar with shackets? They’re basically oversized shirt jackets that give off an effortlessly cool vibe. Shirt + Jacket = Shacket. I’ve been on the hunt for a neutral plaid one for awhile now and finally came across this one last week. I purchased it and shared three ways to wear it on instagram, but it sold out so fast. Luckily it’s been re-stocked and is also available in another plaid and solid cream. They’re all so pretty! Today I’m sharing six different ways to style the plaid shacket.

November Top 5
We survived another month of 2020 and now we’re really in the homestretch. I’m not sure how a year that feels so slow can still be moving this fast, but here we are! I definitely didn’t get much holiday shopping done during the cyber sales but I will be buckling down on that soon. In the meantime, it’s the first of the month which means it’s time to share my top 5 best sellers from last month.

Small Business Saturday
Something I’m trying to be intentional about this year is shopping small businesses. They need our support more than ever right now. Whether it’s getting a coffee from a neighborhood coffee shop instead of a chain, doing take out from a favorite local restaurant or finding unique gifts from a small business – these are great ways to support small businesses. This year I’m trying to do some of my holiday shopping this way and have found some really fun and special gifts along the way I wanted to share 10 of my favorites.
Early Cyber Week Beauty Sales
Happy Monday! I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving week… and even though the holiday will be different for so many this year (my family included), I know it will still be a nice day. Thanksgiving also marks the start of a crazy cyber week (black Friday, cyber Monday, etc). It seems like every year it starts earlier and earlier and get more intense. Part of my job is to highlight sales and be a resource for anyone looking for them. I’m sharing deals on things I love that I think you’ll like too. However, that said I don’t want anyone to feel pressured or like you “have” to buy things. I really don’t want anyone to feel bad if they are not in a position to spend right now. What matters most, especially right now, is health. These are all just material things that do not matter in the grand scheme of things.
