Mini Style: Fall Fashion!


With my favorite season comes another favorite for a lot of parents - back to school!  Though I am still coping with the fact that my baby is now going to Nursery school -WAHHHHH (its literally 4 hours a week, but STILL!) I'm all for any reason to shop for my little girl! And with all this new fall fashion, its so hard to contain myself!  Seriously, I just can't with all of these little outfits and accessories!  Its crazy how easy it is to find just about any fashion trend in miniature sizes these days!  Makes it super easy for the crazy Mom's like myself that want to match their minis! Here's a round-up of favorites I've picked up for my mini!  Joggers, window pane prints & puffer vests on your little one? Yes, please!
P.S. I really have to hand it to Old Navy....they have really been stepping up their game!!

Palms Anyone?

It wasn't until my new Planner cover arrived in the mail that I realized just how many things I have that contain this very trendy pattern.  I don't know what it is about Palms - their clean and fresh and I can't seem to get enough of them. While it is obviously very trendy at the moment, I think that it can also lean a little on the neutral side of fashion (think leopard print). For someone who probably has less prints in my wardrobe that I can count on one hand, it caught me off guard by just how much I love it!  Thankfully, I am not the only one obsessing over it and therefore it is literally being splashed on every.item.imaginable!  My palms collection is beginning to look a lot like my embarrassing white T-shirt collection!  The crazy thing is, for as many things as I own decked out in Palms, I'm not tired of it and in fact I'm plotting my next purchase (hello, new throw pillows).  Here are a few things to check out if you find yourself in the same boat and going a little goo-goo-ga-ga for the palm print!
How do you feel about this trend? Love it or leave it?

The Shift.


 | Dress | Sunglasses: Miu Miu | Hat: Target (old)
Shoes |
Necklace | 

A Shift Dress - Its one of those basic "staples" that belongs in every closet for every season.  Dress it up with some fancy shoes & jewels, or throw it on with a denim jacket, your favorite pair of tennis shoes and a baseball cap to take it down a notch.  If I were still in Corporate America this would have been my go-to paired with some pointy shoes and my favorite blazer.  The possibilities are absolutely ENDLESS and the price point is INSANE (hello, $20).  I can't wait to switch out my Summer accessories with a pair of boots, wool hat (my fav) and an oversized cardigan (have this one on my radar) next month! After finally having one in my possession, I finally understand where these dresses get their name!

All About That Wedge.

 

I've never shopped at Boohoo, but after my first haul of the above clothing, it may be my new favorite one-stop-shop for clothes.  It reminds me a lot of ASOS in the sense that you can find great basics, or super trendy pieces all for great prices without compromising quality.  I have been wanting to purchase a duster jacket for myself for a while and when I saw this one on the website for only $30 I knew I had to have it.  I love it SO much and will be picking it up in black in my next order.  And these shoes, tho!! Let it be known that these wedges give me life.  I have been wearing them with literally EVERY outfit I can think of.  Boyfriend Jeans, Maxi skirts and dresses, shorts, white skinny jeans - you get the point.  They are uber comfortable and SO DANG PRETTY on your feet!  I cannot recommend them enough!  I will end with a huge thank you to my little boy, Jake for accompanying me on our walk and this blog post ;)....isn't he just the most handsome little guy you've ever seen?!!

P.S. I filmed a video if you want to hear me rave about these shoes even more ;)

25 Random Facts!

I thought it would be fun to share some "fun facts" that you may not know about me just from watching my videos - here we go ;).

1. I LOVE going to the movies by myself.
2. I kind of have a sick obsession with fresh Parsley.  Like I could eat it right off the stem, in extremely large quantities.
3. I HATE the word Moist....even typing it makes me gag a little.
4. Escalators give me major anxiety
5. I absolutely love getting knots out of chains / necklaces.  
6. I love corn on the cob but don't actually eat it off of the cob....I always cut it off with a knife.
7. Going out for breakfast on Sunday mornings is one of my favorite things to do.
8. I love doing banking and bills - (not paying them), but being organized and prompt.
9. I frequent Target more in a week that I would like to admit. And as a follow-up if I can walk out having spent less than $100 it makes me so happy.  #winning
10. I am obsessed with Trident Cinnamon gum. Completely obsessed.
11. I hate wearing a coat and rarely ever wear one-even in the dead of winter.  They make me feel claustrophobic.  Blanket scarves and puffy vests for the win!

13. One of my biggest pet peeves is when you hold the door for someone and they don't say thank you.  I see red.

15. I am running my first 5K this August!
16. I loathe doing laundry.  I would rather clean toilets.
17. Having my little girl was the MOST incredible experience of my entire life.
18. I have never been summoned for Jury duty - I want to SO bad!!
19. Checklists (and crossing things off) make me SO happy.  Its the little things, people.
20. My favorite flowers are light pink Peonies
21. I abso-frickin-lutesly LOVE showtunes - I could go Pitch Perfect & Glee Cast ALL day!
22. I can't eat mushy bananas...the green"er" the better.
23. I've suffered from anxiety and panic attacks in the past.
24. #1 on my Bucket List is to visit Greece and see where my Dad was born and grew up.
25.  Being a Stay at Home Mom has been the hardest and best job in the world, all at the same time.

I kind of have a thing for florals.


Lipstick | Necklace | Sunglasses - Old Navy (old), similar here 

 Romper |   Bag-Tory Burch (old)

Rompers.....I have nothing but respect for these little numbers!  Lightweight, comfortable, requires little to no thought when it comes to your outfit, beyond travel friendly (both on the plane and in your suitcase), and very little accessorizing needed.  Does it get any better than that?
