Obsessions

Loving this snakeskin dress the colors and style are perfect.


This coat is a splurge but man I want it!!  It is such a beauty.  Gorgeous paired with dresses, jeans, or leggings.

I need a moment to describe how happy I am that Rag and Bone made a Fall version of my favorite Summer tank. Added bonus Bloomingdales is having their Friends and Family Event right now and you can save 20%!!  Use code Friends.


I love the simplicity of the design on this blouse.  So fresh, clean, and modern.

If you are looking for a less expensive version of the Rag and Bone Newbury booties I think these look really similar and they are a 1/3 the cost.
 
also in taupe

So I realize I am sharing two snakeskin dresses in one day but they both are gorgeous and a real steal!   Different color pallettes, I love this red one for the holidays.




I have been looking everywhere for a cute set of gold serving utensils.  I just found these and adore them.  I also really like the gold pie set.


I want to add this sweater to my Fall Wardrobe just cant decide between the black or cream!


These are the perfect everyday earrings.  I always love Rose gold.

Really digging these new Zella Capris.

Life Lately

I hate Mondays and like them all at the same time.  I am sad the weekend is over but always ready for a fresh start to get a lot accomplished.

Sterling had a soccer game Saturday morning and scored his first goal at a game.  I was so proud of him.  I love the Saturday morning soccer games it is a fun start to Saturday.  Watching the kids play is adorable and sometimes comical.

The grey top I am wearing is a new favorite from LaSenorita Jolie.  I love the scoopneck and it is so soft!!

I have mentioned my love for Spanx leggings before but when I saw they came out with a new Faux Leather pair I about flipped out.  I promptly ordered them and they did not disappoint.  If you want faux leather leggings for the fall you must order these!  They suck you in and are so flattering.  Trust me these are a must for Fall.  They already sold out on Shopbop and Revolve where I ordered mine so get them while you can!


 
I had a great grocery run at Trader Joe's this week.  Two new things I am now obsessed with are the  mozzarella sticks and cinnamon roll bread.
The wine is also excellent, from The Wine Store in Charlotte.


Frances Moon turned 10 months last week.  Where has this first year gone??


She just started crawling about 2 weeks ago and is always on the move.  She can't quite pull herself up yet but we practice by strengthing her legs and she loves it.


I have become a regular at Park Cafe, their breakfast is the best. I tried the tomato toast last week and it was so good, it inspired me to create my own.


I made whipped ricotta which is basically just ricotta, salt, and olive oil.  You can mix it in a food processor or with beaters until fluffy. Lightly toast your bread, then spread a layer of the whipped ricotta, and top with fresh sliced tomatoes.  Add salt and pepper and toast 3-5 minutes.  Sprinkle with chives and enjoy.  It is a really delicous combo!


I spent Sunday morning at Urgent care dealing with a UTI- never fun.  However Sterling kept me laughing the whole time I waited.   The doctors put him to work with his gloves on:)


One of my favorite maxi dresses is on major sale 50% off.  I wear mine often.


Happy Monday.

NDM Styles : Fall Patterns Part 2

TGIF Friends.  Anyone have fun plans this weekend?  We have a soccer game for Sterling Saturday and let me tell you it is always comical watching 4 year olds play soccer.   There is much confusion about which goal to kick too:)  Then Sunday we have a birthday party out in the country!  A fun weekend for sure.

I wanted to share a new line of dresses that I came across while browsing Vince Camuto.  The sales people at Nordstrom told me about this dress line called Clove.  I had never heard of it before but now I love it!   Almost all the dresses are under $100 so they are not too expensive.  Plus they are so cute and versatile.

  I really liked the silhouette of this particular dress.  
 It is perfect for church, a party,  or even work if you paired it with a cute blazer.  It is a nice length, as a tall gal I have a hard time finding dresses that are not too short.
(Excuse the same background for the pictures this week I had my mom snap these while I was home:)



The colors are stunning in this dress.
It runs on the tight side so if you don't want it so fitted order up a size.  I am wearing the size 4 with a Spanx slip underneath to smooth things out:)


 I have been wearing my D'Orsay flats all the time.  It is surprising how well the eggplant color goes with everything.


The other dress from the Clove line I loved was this plaid shift dress.  I am a bit plaid obsessed for Fall and black and white plaid is always so classic!  This would also look awesome with black tights and knee high boots.
Both of these dresses are Nordstrom exclusives so you can't find them anywhere else!



They didn't have this dress in stock when I ordered mine but I love it.  The floral print is so gorgeous!


Almost all the Clove dresses are under $100.  Such a great price!  A few of my other favorites from the line.
