LIGHTER SHADES FOR FALL

Pink is certainly one of the prettiest color around. But I very rarely wear this color. I guess I'm just not so much a pink girl. But it is fun to rock pink every now and then and so yes, this is one of the rare moments you see me wear pink. :) 

 I thought it would be fun to change it up a little and go lighter for Fall. My main inspiration in putting together this outfit is this gray OTK boots! Yes this is the  gray version of the black that I have been wearing and yes I definitely give both the two thumbs up. They are definitely must haves!!

We were bopping around old town when we took these photos. Some of the houses are so cute and charming and then you turn on another street and you see the oldest, craziest houses and front porches! Haha ya just never know what you'll get when you bop around old town and you'll probably see some of them on the back drop of my photos. 

Anyway, just a few more days to Christmas, I still can't believe it. Me and Carter are still trying to recover from the cold we got last week. I guess we sorta passed it back and forth to each other and so recovery is taking a little bit longer. But hope we kick it off for good by the end of today. 

It's our first Christmas with Carter and so it's really very special. Definitely one of the best gifts we can ever get. Now that we have our little family I'm starting to think of what new traditions our little family can start and do together.  I've got some ideas but still pondering them. 

Anyway, what traditions do you guys usually do during Christmas?

When you live in a place like Cali it's nice to have a light coat or jacket on hand.  I live in the Northern part of California so it does get way colder than southern Cali, so in the past couple of years I have just been hoarding thick cute coats and lately I am finding that I really don't have very much lighter coats or jackets in my closet. So glad I found this really cute gray one from Choies, it's perfect for cool (not freezing cold) weather and perfect too for layering. I love its minimalist, modern style and it's such a steal!! It's seriously below $25 right now!! So if you are looking for something like this click on my link above to get it because it probably won't last long.

Anyway, this week is supposed to be a lighter week for me and Mark. (Geesh do I even know how it's like to have a "light" week?!?) but we are all trying to get over a cold now. Carter got his first cold and hope it goes away soon. He is such a trooper though, still smiling and playing all day even if his eyes and sniffles tell me he is not feeling well.

But anyway, Christmas is around the corner and I can't even believe it!! At least we got the house decorated and cleaned up and the gifts are under the tree.... so yes! It's starting to look a lot like Christmas over here! Are you guys done with your Christmas shopping? Well you still have some time. I try to post some cool gift ideas too on my instagram so come follow along! Oh!! And before I forget, if you are still looking for gifts for her, on this post I am wearing probably the most comfortable heeled over the knee boots!! I am so so glad I found them. I literally can wear them all day and the heel height is just right. So these boots can be a great gift too! I linked it above and some similar ones. Have you guys found great gifts ideas this year? Please do share!! I would love to hear and find out about them too!!  :) 

Hope you are having a fab week!

NEUTRAL KNITS FOR FALL

 

Hi guys! On today's post I am wearing key basic pieces you'd want to have in your closet this Fall. 

1. Comfy Cardigan that is perfect for layering. You can get the most use out of a neutral color because it easily goes with everything. You don't have to break the bank to be able to stock up on cute cardigans and knits. I know they all add up so fast! But this one I am wearing is from CHOIES and they have so many  cute ones to choose from and it literally won't break your bank. 

2.Neutral colored Scarf. This is also great for layering and it goes with any color or pattern you are wearing. 

3. The perfect destroyed boyfriend jeans. When on the go, they are so so comfy you'll really appreciate having them on. With all the shopping you have to do this holiday season, you can throw on any pair of flats, snickers or trainers with a pair of boyfriend's and you are set to go from am to pm. You can also easily dress it up with your favorite heels or heeled boots. 

4. A nice cuff/bracelet to accessorize with. It super easy and always finishes off your look. It's chic and it seems like you carefully thought about your whole outfit and that you put in more effort than your really did ;)  

This one I am wearing is from The Peach Box. (Get 15% off with code tbp-twentyeightvia) It's the rose gold buckle bangle. I really love the styles of jewelries they have. They are super on point and the quality is really really nice for a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them especially if you are looking for gifts for you and your girls! 

5. Your favorite Sunnies of course!! 

6. And a nude-ish colored pointy heels. This one I am wearing is more like peachy. A nude color, pale pink or peach, just staying under the neutral tones is a good investment because again it will easily go with any outfit and wearable all year round. 

I love owning key basics and having them in my closet because it literally makes dressing up everyday so much easier!!

Well geesh, I think that "mommy brain" has literally kicked in and I have not had my phone with me in the last 2 days and so I am so sorry I am so behind on responding on my instagram and am definitely missing you guys' posts!!! I know I can't even believe I left my phone at home 2 consecutive days!!!  I will have to make sure to play catch up today. Yesterday we headed out to Apple Hill with the family. It's a place full of apple orchards. We had my favorite apple donuts and some blueberry pie and apple cider. We also were able to take really great pics of the kids!! :)

I seriously love this time of the year!

LAYERING, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!

Fiiiiinally!! Yep, it's finally cooling down here in Cali and it's quite exciting!! I was getting tired of

the confused weather and honestly, I felt like my outfits were all starting to get confused too! It's

actually even raining here tonight and I've definitely missed the sound of the rain. I took Carter out

to see the rain for the first time this afternoon and it was just the cutest thing. He had the biggest eyes

and just completely mesmerized!

And since the weather is cooling down the first thing I pulled out is one of my favorite blanket

scarves of all time :D - for layering. I wore this on a post last year but wore it a different way.  

On this look, I used it to layer this oversized top and leather pants.  I really love this layered top from

Choies.  The neutral colors are perfect and all the little details from the sides, the back, the cut, just

everything design wise makes this top an easy favorite of mine. There's a ton of really cute pieces

from Choies with unbelievable prices so you if you have not checked them out yet, take a peek at

their site and see for yourself! Just make sure you check their sizing measurements, get your tape

measures out so you know for sure that it will fit you.

Now let's talk about these shoes!!!! If you follow me on instagram (click to follow ), you would have 

seen me post them there a couple of times ...  but here it is now!! Finally making their debut on the 

blog!! (Yaaay!) With it's up close photo, capturing all its details and and the different views so you 

can totally see them from all sides! Yes!! They are so far my favorite pair - Like my faaavorite!! I 

fell in love with them the first time I saw them. They also come in black so that was really a hard 

choice for me. But these silver ones just won! They are also one of the most comfortable pair of

shoes I own, they fit like a glove! 

I'm really impressed with how Coach  re-vamped their 2015 collection. Their 

new Fall collection is so AAAH-MAZING I am so in love with every piece. Their new grunge style 

has got me craving some grunge!
