fall style

blanket coats & bejeweled shoes

Most years I try to fight off embracing the cold weather as long as possible. I protest by not wearing a coat, keeping my mittens hidden away, and generally rebelling in ways that involve me being cold and it having zero effect on the actual weather. This year I'm taking a different approach by stocking up {and wearing} the warmest coats and bundling up at the first sign of a winter chill. Which unfortunately, is now.  [show_shopthepost_widget id="2886992"]

feeling the spirit

Friends! Happy Monday! We're already in the holiday swing over here and instead of trying to fight it I've decided to just embrace it. The air is crisp, we've started building a fire every evening, and yesterday Ken brought up one of our lighted trees and I did not protest.  [show_shopthepost_widget id="2883677"]

I have this thing with pink

Maybe something changed in me after I had a girl but I have never been more into the color pink than I am right now. I've been incorporating it everywhere from my clothes to my accessories and even in our home. It's such a happy color and I love the way it makes me feel. I might be a living cliche but I'm ok with that! Today I thought it would be fun to round up a few pink things I'm loving for winter. Enjoy!

put a bow on it

I chatted about this a bit last week but I'm getting to the point in my capsule wardrobe where things aren't feeling as fresh as they once did nearly two months ago. I'm pushing through and trying to find new ways to wear each piece over the next few months. One thing that has been key to avoiding boredom is accessories!  [show_shopthepost_widget id="2866024"]

cozy casual

I'm almost two months into my fall capsule wardrobe and while I don't have the same excitement as I once did I still am really happy with almost everything that I selected. There are a few things I haven't even worn yet {which is crazy!} and a few pieces that have definitely stood out as my favorites. This outfit is a perfect everyday look. It's casual but interesting and I've worn it to the office as well as out and about on the weekends. Plus individually each piece is super versatile. I've had the jeans and the booties for years and while the sweater is only a few months old I know I'll hang on to it for years to come.  [show_shopthepost_widget id="2861008"]

you are my sunshine

I'm not sure if you caught the news on social media over the weekend but we have a t-h-r-e-e year old! Our sweet girl is getting so grown up and with every birthday so far I've always felt she's ready for her new age with three being no exception. She is beyond smart, has the kindest demeanor, and is truly hilarious. We could not love her more! [show_shopthepost_widget id="2856838"]

harvest fest

Ever since Labor Day weekend when we happened to go to three festivals in three days Annabelle's ongoing request is to go to a festival whenever she's asked, "what should we do today?" Since festival season is basically over we've had to get a bit creative but last weekend we were able to find a cute little event happening at Fleur Detroit that was appropriately named Harvest Fest.  [show_shopthepost_widget id="2849887"]

take me out to the hockey game

When Ken suggested just a few days ago that we get tickets to the Red Wings first game in the new Little Caesars Arena I did not protest, mostly because I love beer and nachos but hey, go wings go and all that sports stuff too! [show_shopthepost_widget id="2845205"]

outdoor exploring

It’s not lost on me how much I talk about the weather. It truly is the gateway into almost any conversation and has such an impact on how we spend our days. It’s common to hear people who live in colder climates say that one of the benefits is getting to experience all four seasons which is mostly a coping mechanism for being freezing a good portion of your life but also very true. The leaves starting to change and the air getting crisp gets me every single year and I hope the excitement never wears off as long as I live here. [show_shopthepost_widget id="2843020"]

yay! for october

I've always been fond of October but it wasn't until my due date with Annabelle fell within the month that it solidified it's status as my favorite. In addition to the changing weather and fall decor that I love so much I now get to celebrate becoming a mom to our sweet girl who is currently deciding if she'll be Cinderella, Spiderman, or an illusive third option {which is always the case with Annabelle} for Halloween.
