I’m a wife, mom to two wonderful little boys and a super spunky labradoodle, and a middle school teacher. I love all things fashion and motherhood, which is why I created this blog. I want to be able to connect with other people who share the same passions and share ideas and inspire other women. ❤️
Happy Friday! I’ve found some awesome things to share today!

Let’s continue with the colorblock trend and talk about this sweater from Walmart. It’s under $12! I wanted to buy it the other day in store but they didn’t have my size! I can’t get enough colorblocking this season! It’s super soft and cozy, I just needed something smaller than what they had in store!
Walmart
This bag is adorable and 40% off right now. It comes in 5 colors! I will warn you that it does ship from overseas, so shipping takes a little while. We are all so spoiled with fast shipping, looking at you Amazon… that it seems like an eternity, but really it’s not that bad.
Goodnight Macaroon

Target
I’ve been on the hunt for a good pair of OTK boots. These are under $20 so I think they’re definitely worth a shot. The reviews mention they’re not the best for people on the taller side, so that’s something to keep in mind. They’re super cute and I definitely want to see them in person!
Walmart
This dress is $25 and has really good reviews. It might be a little on the short side for some people’s liking, but it would look adorable with leggings in the winter too! It comes in a variety of colors as well.
Amazon
This contour and highlight palette is so good! I actually used almost all of the lighter shades up and then dropped and broke what was left. I was devastated. It’s so good and this price is a great deal! It lasts forever!
Happy Thursday! One more day until the weekend. I need to shake this cold so I can enjoy the Blake Shelton concert this weekend!

This Sephora play box is only $9 and that price covers the sample of the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye cream that I’ve been obsessed with. It also comes with a sample of the Smashbox liquid lipstick that is so good. I’ll be completely honest, I HATE the Sol De Janeiro Coco Cabana lotion’s smell but the price is so worth the other samples!
Sephora
These tunics are a perfect pair for your new AE leggings. They’re on sale for $15 right now!

This cardigan is from Walmart and looks amazing! It’s $35, which is on the high end for Walmart but not a bad price for a good cardigan at all!
Happy Monday! The worst part of back to school time is the germs and allergies. I’m not sure if we are all getting a cold, have allergies, or a combo of both, but the entire Smith family has runny noses and coughs. Not to mention my students are dropping like flies. And the ones who aren’t home sick are coughing and sneezing all over the place. So I’ll be sick until the spring. Lol
Hopefully your Monday is off to a better start than ours!

I’ve been using his self tanner for a couple of weeks now and I absolutely love it! The drops are awesome for my face and don’t break me out or cause any irritation and my face has just the right amount of color! I love them! I spray the water on my chest mostly, because it seems like my tan fades the fastest there. This always helps keep it nice and bronze in between full blown tan applications!
QVC
I’m all about an easy outfit and a dress with a denim jacket over it is one of the simplest outfits there is. This camo dress is adorable and so easy to pair with a jacket and go.
Nordstrom Rack

Who doesn’t love a good tunic? These are 40% off right now and I can almost guarantee they’re super soft. Old Navy does not disappoint!
You know how sometimes you go shopping and you are so ready to spend some money on new things, but you can’t find ANYTHING?! But then other times, you just have some free time and want to browse but not really spend a ton, and you want literally everything that you try on or look at! That does happen to other people right?! Well, that was me during this trip to Kohl’s. I haven’t been there in a while, and had a few minutes after school to stop and take a peek. Guys, I could’ve easily bought every single thing I touched. I think its a mind game. Maybe I need to go “browse” more often when I’m actually in need of something. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I wanted to buy every single item I tried on!

First, let’s talk about these booties. I’ve got them on in every picture, and that shows just how versatile they are. They’re the absolute cutest, they come in several different colors, some patent finish and some suede finish like these. Both are great options, and I love all of the colors!
This dress was one of the first items I saw when I walked into the store. I thought it was so cute, but had a feeling I wasn’t going to love it on me. I was so wrong! This was adorable! It was also super comfy and had pockets. That right there should be the selling point. Dresses with pockets are 100 times better than dresses without. Everything about this dress was wonderful. It’s a “mini” dress, so it may be a tad too short for some people’s liking, but I’m only 5’4″, so it hit me at a great spot, just above my knees. It was loose and flowy, but also fitted in the right spots. The sleeves were so adorable too! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
In addition to this sweater being the absolute perfect fall color, it has the cutest cut as well! I love that it’s long enough for leggings, but also a great length to pair with jeans. It was super soft and comfortable, and also very lightweight and perfect for the transition into fall. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
LC by Lauren Conrad never disappoints me. These jeans were a perfect non-distressed pair of comfortable, mid-rise denim. The wash was a great color, the rise was perfect, and the overall fit was just great! I of course had to cuff them because they were too long on me, but they do come in a short option online, which I would definitely opt for with my height. Otherwise they are TTS, I’m wearing a 6.
This sweater is another lightweight option for the fall, and I’m loving the color! This would look great as it is with denim, or with a pair of dressier pants for work. It was super comfortable and TTS, I’m wearing a small.
Of course if you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know how much I love leopard anything. When I saw this part of me was thinking it was a little bit too Lisa Frank-ish, but the other part of me was thinking about how much I loved Lisa Frank and that was the part that won. Its a really fun take on a basic print, but its not too bright or obnoxious. Add in that these tees are some of the softest out there, and its a winner for sure! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I think that this sweater is absolutely darling! It also comes in a leopard print as well. Its definitely more of a fitted sweater, rather than the oversized look that we all love. But, I think everyone needs a good fitted option. I paired it with leggings, but it would look great with dress pants for work or denim on the weekend! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
These leggings are a great pair of “pants” leggings. They’re the thick material that have a thick waistband to hold everything in. They don’t look bad with this sweater, but I’d prefer to wear a longer sweater to cover my booty a little more with them. Of course that is all a matter of personal preference! They’re TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This tunic top was a great simple top to throw on with jeans or dress pants! It was the LC by Lauren Conrad brand and had super cute back detail, that I unfortunately do not have a photo of. (I’m a great blogger, I know.) It was super comfortable, and just an easy piece that didn’t require much thought. A steamer, maybe, but thought, none needed. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This top is actually the same as the top above, but just a different color option. I thought they were two different shirts, but when I pull them up online, they are the same. The lace on the bottom definitely changes it up enough for me to consider them two different shirts and want both of them. Same as the other, it’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I’m never going to give up on leopard, so of course I was in love with this one when I saw it. It has some of my favorite elements.. leopard, puffy sleeves, the perfect length to give it more of a dressy appearance. This is definitely a top I would pair with actual black pants or denim, not leggings. It didn’t look bad with these leggings, its again, just more of a comfort thing. Especially for wearing to work. But you can get the idea of what it would look like with some black pants. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
Black is so difficult to photograph, I even tried to lighten the photo so that you could see it a little better and this was all I could do. But I had to share this blazer with you. I love a good blazer with a graphic tee and denim, with a dressy tank and dress pants, over a swing dress… the options are abundant. A good blazer has to be comfortable. I can’t wear something if its not comfortable! I’ve tried on a lot of blazers in my life and I’ve got a few great options in my closet that I love and can’t bear the thought of parting with, but I’ve also tried some really stiff and uncomfortable ones as well. This one, I’d say it ranks in my top 5 most comfortable blazers I’ve ever tried on. It’s definitely a more relaxed, boyfriend fit for a blazer, so if you’re looking for something super tailored and form fitting, this is not the blazer for you. If you want something relaxed but still put together, this is for you! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
Another awesome piece from Lauren Conrad’s line! I absolutely love the sleeve detail on this sweater. It’s super lightweight and soft, and an appropriate length for leggings. I love the speckled look throughout the material and the tie on the hip just gives it a little something different. the sleeves are slightly ballooned out and I absolutely loved it! If you’re looking for a more fitted top, size down, otherwise I’d say its TTS, I’m wearing the small.
I may have saved the best for last. I’m seriously so in love with this trend of sweaters with skirts and booties. This sweater was so incredibly soft, I’m pretty sure I need it in every single color. It’s not tight around the neck at all, the sleeves are perfectly ballooned, and the length is perfect for a front tuck. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This skirt is a MUST have for fall! It was honestly the most comfortable skirt I think I’ve ever worn. I grabbed a size 4 and could easily have sized down to a 2, it was very loose. So, I highly recommend sizing down at least one size. The color is amazing, the comfort is off the charts, the fit is just perfect! I can’t say enough good things about it!
What were your favorite items from this try-on? I’m not even sure if I’d be able to decide! So many good things! Let me know in the comments what you’re loving!
