saturday style!

{Sweater | Pants| Scarf | Sunglasses | Tennis Shoes | Earrings | Lipstick}

A little style inspiration to kick off your weekend! My Saturday mornings are usually pretty rushed (thanks to my impatient hubby, son and dog!) so I rarely have time to shower. Here's an easy, chic outfit that is just perfect for grabbing breakfast at the coffee shop, cruising around the farmer's market, or biking to the zoo. I thought about amping the look up with some fancier shoes, but let's face it due to some poor shoe choices this week my tootsies are sorely in need of some comfort.  And can we talk about that sweater? Can it just get in my closet already?  Oh and that lipstick is my go-to lip color pretty much every...single...day. I love it! It's instant glam!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! See all you lovelies on Monday!

UPDATE: Apparently I was the worst blogger EVER last night. The links are now up to date. Sorry to those of you who clicked on the earrings and ended up with a Sesame Street video blaring in your face. They are all correct now! Bad blogger...bad blogger!

high five for friday!

And it's almost the weekend! Yay! Is it just me or did this week go by super fast? Here are some of my loves from this week.

1) I am so in love with these polka dot loafers from Gap. Every time I look at my feet, I can't help but smile.

2) Neon in the fall...yes please! I am keeping my bright colors handy as the weather cools.

3) New placemats and flowers for the table.

4) I'm loving the cozy sweater weather that we are having right now. My outfits have been very relaxed as a result!

5) Umm October is almost here and I can't wait! I decided to break out a few of our decorations a little early. 

And as you head into your weekend, here's a little outfit inspiration.  Because of the Bloggers Do It Better challenge, I have had "oxblood" (the fancy name) or maroon (as I generally like to call it) on my mind. It's perfect for the chilly fall weather and pairs perfectly with neutrals.

I would love to wear this outfit from top to bottom (especially those shoes!). I'm gonna have to do some creative rummaging in my closet to make this work. What will you be wearing this weekend? Whatever it is, I'm sure you will look fabulous! Happy weekend! And see you on Monday!

style formula: no plane jane!

{Dress | Leggings | Sweater | iPad case | Purse | Boots | Belt | Book | iPad | iPad Kids App}

This is my new series: style formula. I am horrible with numbers but this is my kind of math! I'm heading on a plane tomorrow and I put together this look for the plane ride. I love it (and wish I had this whole look to wear!). It's comfortable and stylish all at once. A few of the necessities: I always carry a sweater on an airplane even if it's the middle of summer, a good book is a must (I'm reading this right now and am addicted!), and if you are traveling with a tot an iPad loaded with lots of entertaining goodies for the little is a no-brainer.

What are your traveling must-haves?
