I’ve been wearing my favorite cardigan, which is really more of a coatigan (coat + cardigan) weekly since early Fall. I love the fit and structure of it and it’s a nice layer on a cooler day but works basically all year – in Southern California, at least. It comes in a few different neutral colors – I have it in both camel and gray, but wear the camel colored one a little more. It’s often on sale – right now it’s 15% off with code EXTRA. I wanted to share five different ways I’ve been wearing it this spring.

This week I’m highlighting the tan shacket in my staple series and I’m styling it five ways. Well, technically six if you count the pic above from when I first tried it on. This is such a versatile piece that I know I will continue to wear so many different ways. It’s not super heavy duty and more of a layer than an actual jacket, but it works for Southern California winter and could be made warmer with a thicker sweater worn under. Sizing note, it has a comfy oversized fit. If you want it to be more fitted I would suggest sizing down. I went with my normal size and it is definitely on the bigger side, but it’s super comfy to layer.

I don’t know about you but Monday really felt like the first day of 2021. There’s something about the first full week of the year that really makes it feel like a fresh start. And we’re already half way through the week! Today I’m sharing my top five sellers from last month there’s one brand new item and four that have made their appearance on the list throughout the year.

Plaid Shirt Jacket – I purchased this jacket at the beginning of December and was so excited about it I started sharing it immediately. I loved it but had no idea how popular it would be. It actually made it very high on my top sellers of the whole year! It has sold out and been restocked several times throughout the month.

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings – I wear these at least one a week. The perfect everyday leggings. They’re so flattering and have a little bit of compression. If you’re under 5’5″ I recommend the petite length.

Off White Rug – We got this rug for Crosby’s room a little over a year ago after having a more brightly colored rug. This one is so pretty and neutral – perfect for a bedroom!

Agolde Jamie Jeans – On the rare occasion (these days) that I wear jeans this pair is usually what I reach for. They’re more of a splurge but hold up really well. I’ve had them for almost two years and they still look brand new. They were a little long on me so I cut the hem at my ankle – I prefer a raw hem with distressed jeans.

Tribal Rug – Since we moved into our house five years ago we’ve had three living room rugs. It took us awhile to figure out what we wanted but then after finding this rug the room really felt put together. We’ve had it for two years now and I still love it!

Happy Monday! We’re back to 80 degrees/basically summer weather so I’m looking back to last week when we had a little bit of actual fall. It was fun to get dressed for colder weather and I documented my outfits each day. Breaking them down below.

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is just a couple weeks away! I feel like it always kind of sneaks up on us after Halloween, but this year I’m especially excited for it. Do you dress up for the day or go more casual? I’m all about casual and comfort – basically anything I can wear to chase around two toddlers and eat and drink to my hearts content. Today I wanted to share 8 casual Thanksgiving outfit ideas that you can easily recreate with pieces from your own closet.

Just as I expected, October flew by as fast as the last few months. Now we’re in the homestretch of 2020 #thankgod. October’s top five sellers had a lot of popular items from this year. From masks to toddler shoes! Sharing a round up below.

4 pack of adjustable masks – I purchased these a few months ago loving the prints/colors. And since they’re adjustable Jeff can wear them too. They’re my most comfortable mask by far and reach for them the most. Since I love them so much I purchased this set too. There are a bunch of prints/colors here.

Agolde Jamie jeans – I’ve had these for over a year and wear them all the time. Occasionally they go on sale at one of the retailers that carry them and that’s truly the time to buy. They’re super flattering and seem to go with everything.

J. Crew collarless sweater blazer – No surprise that this coatigan makes the list again. I have it in the two colors pictured above and wear it often. It looks great with everything – shorts, leggings, jeans and even shorter dresses.

Topshop u-neck tank – I have a feeling this little $15 tank is going to be my top seller of all of 2020. It’s made the list almost every month since May and I continue to wear it at least a couple times a week.

Toddler leopard converse – I purchased these for Crosby last fall and she was so upset a few weeks ago when they were finally too small. I ordered them in the next size up. They go with so much and are really easy to get on her feet… unlike most converse.

Hope you had an amazing October and Halloween – PLEASE vote tomorrow if you haven’t already!
