FASHION FRIDAY: THE BLAKET SCARF

Oh how I love fall and blanket scarf season!  A jumbo scarf like this is the best thing to have in your wardrobe this time of year because it is so warm, and can be worn as a scarf or over your shoulders like a blanket due to it being over sized.  I found this one at Zara when we were in Toledo, Spain recently which makes it extra special.  I always take one of these with me when I jet set somewhere because you never know how cold it could be.   And can we just talk about these fabulous faux leather jogger pants that I found at Target recently?  They are extremely comfy and can be dressed up or down.  I will be wearing them all fall and winter long.  Speaking of Spain, Rich is returning from a work trip to Barcelona tomorrow.  The boys and I are looking forward to having him back!  Hope you all have a great weekend!

BEACHY FAMILY

Yesterday felt like summer at the Shore!  In fact, at one point my car said 86*!!!  Not sure if that was accurate or not, but it felt quite hot to me.  We really love the Jersey Shore, and spend as much time as we can at the beach- in the spring, summer, fall and even in the winter!  That is why when I saw the forecast yesterday, I suggested we take some beachy family pictures.  We went to Old Navy to pick up some white oxford buttoned down shirts for the boys, and I grabbed this white eyelet maxi dress- they have great stuff for spring, and the prices are so affordable!  I know I will be living in this dress this summer at the beach, pool, and even for a date night with some wedges.  I also love these gladiator sandals that I picked up recently at Target- they are comfy and look like they are well made. The boys wore jeans, and so I threw on a jean jacket.  It's a good thing I did throw on the jacket because we waited for the sun to start setting before we went to take the pictures, and by the time we got onto the beach, it was windy and freezing!!!  We didn't last long with a three year old and a one year old, but we did manage to snap a few that I just love.  Hope you all had a great weekend, and got out to enjoy the beautiful weather!

WARDROBE WEDNESDAY: THE KIMONO

Let's just be honest...after having two kids, these days I find myself loving leggings and flats over skinny jeans and heels...basically anything comfy!  Same thing goes with size and length of things...larger and longer equals I'll most likely buy it and add it to my closet.  That is why when I saw this kimono at Target I brought it home with me.  I couldn't find it online, but it's in store, by the brand xhilaration, and it costs $22.99 (I linked a similar item below).  I love how it's over sized and covers my tush, plus, I think the print is fun and I love the crochet trim.

FASHION FRIDAY: "ANTRHO-ESQUE"

One of my absolute favorite stores to shop for clothes is Anthropologie.  I think their styles are timeless, and of great quality.  That being said, unless you shop their sale section, their stuff is expensive.  So when I saw this top at Target recently, I grabbed it and threw it in my cart right away, because it is very "Anthro-esque," and it was only $22.99.  I mean, just look how similar this top below is from Anthropologie to the one I'm wearing, and it's $118!!!  Yay for Target!  #targetstyledoesitagain  Happy Friday Jet Setters!

WARDROBE WEDNESDAY: FEELING DOTTIE

I really do love polka dot prints on fashion pieces- I think they are a lot of fun!  That is why when I was in H&M last week and I saw this top for under $20, I had to get it.  I paired it with polka dot pants (haha!) but I also think it will look great tucked into a skirt, or with jeans.

FASHION FRIDAY: GOING AZTEC

When the aztec print came back in style this fall/winter season I was beyond thrilled because I just absolutely love the look of the pattern!  For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me post of picture of this ruana which I picked up at Target (during one of my many diaper runs-turned clothing/beauty runs...lol)!  I love the colors on it and thought I could really "go aztec" by adding this hat which I got for Christmas from Anthropologie.  Plus, this fun and funky Sira & Mara necklace also ties in the gold hardware from the bag and the silver hardware from the sweater...it's one of my favorite new additions to my jewelry collection...and it's totally affordable!  This look screams winter out west to me and I just love it!  Happy Friday!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

WARDROBE WEDNESDAY: CASUAL SEQUINS

Hey Guys!  I got a few requests to post my outfit details from Monday's post about Porta so here it is for you!  I absolutely fell in love with the casual, yet dressy look of this top- a sweatshirt with bling for me = LOVE!  So I thought it was the perfect thing to wear to a Sunday brunch with the hubby and kids.  I paired it with jeans, snow boots (thanks to Mother Nature's blast of snow), a hat and a little pink clutch which I think ties in the pink in the hat and the top.  Happy hump day everyone!
