Obsessions | Under $100

Today it's a reader request post and all about great Fall Fashion under $100! If you have an idea for any fashion related or other posts send me an email!

Lace Dress

Also comes in white but I prefer the navy for Fall.

Ribbed Sweater

This comes in several different color options. It looks so cozy and I love that it is longer so you could probably wear it with leggings too.

Split Back Pull Over

The back of this adorable and I love the loose style.

Knot Front Pull Over

This also comes in black, both colors are perfect for Fall.

Check Poncho

I really love this one. It also comes in a black/gray combo.

Crossbody

This looks very similar to my Gigi cross body but it is 1/4 of the price.

Paisley Smocked Dress

I love the muted colors in this dress. I would pair it with booties or over the knee boots.

Fringe Knit Scarf

This is only $19! I am a huge fan of infinity scarfs because they are so easy to toss on with any outfit. I like the fringe detail on this one.

Pleated Ruffle Blouse

I love the colors and pattern on this blouse!

Open Shoulder Sweater

I think open shoulder may be the new off shoulder for Fall!

Calf hair Clutch

I was so excited when I found this. It looks just like the Claire V one and for a fraction of the price.

Lace Sleeve Dress

I always love a shift dress. This would be easy to dress up or down.

Pleated Hem Sweater

I just ordered this one, I could not resist. I like how it looks like two shirts in one.

Moto Leggings

I have these in green and love them. They look like pants but are leggings.

Drop Earrings

I think these are so cute. Great with jeans and a tee or with a dress. They come in 4 colors but I especially love the gray and black. They are perfect for Fall!

Wedges

I love these and was shocked when I saw they were under $100. Such pretty wedges.

Off Shoulder Sweater Dress

This comes in green and white.

Le Specs Sunglasses

I just bought these and love them. The blue lens is really fun and I like the aviator style.

First of all I want to say THANK YOU!! To everyone who commented on my parenting post Friday on my blog, instagram or email, thank you. Sometimes I feel vulnerable when I write more personal posts and I so appreciate how supportive everyone was!! Motherhood is hard we gotta stick together and be honest and support each other!!

I have recently started a new class at my gym called Red Zone. I alternate between it and Barre class. It is a killer workout, almost like a cardio circuit class where you alternate between bikes, treadmill, the row machine and weights. I of course had to snag my favorite high waisted work out pants in this new color.

Leggings | Shoes

Heads up my leopard sweater is now 60% off! Size down it runs on the large side!

Leopard Sweater

I snapped this picture of Sterling before his fun run fundraiser at school this week. How adorable is he??

He was so excited, he ran 32 laps and raised $400, we are so proud of him!

Friday after school we met some friends for a playdate at Vintage Coffee Shop. That place is the best, not only do they have tasty food but you can enjoy a glass of wine outside while the kids play. The kids love playing on the truck there.

Sunglasses | Top | Necklace

Brueggar's veggie bagel is my new jam. I get a sun-dried tomato bagel with veggie cream cheese, sun-dried tomato paste, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper and cucumber. It is so good!

Saturday morning Frances did a photo shoot for the Spring 2017 Pixie Lily line. They did the photos at Miss Whaley's garden downtown and it was so gorgeous. A few out takes I snapped.

They were pretty excited about the balloons afterwards.

Saturday night I went to The Lumineers concert with a few girlfriends. The show was amazing. Live music is always so invigorating!

What I wore. As always I can't get enough Mara. This runs TTS, I am in a size small. I was so excited this one didn't have pockets, she usually puts pockets on the hips and I don't like that.

Dress | Necklace | Shoes sold out

We had a blast!

Sunday we went to the pool and then I did some prep work for the week. I usually try and make my lunches ahead of time. This week was Mediterranean Lentil Salad.

Since I was prepping food Sterling really wanted to bake too so I let him bake his own cake. He did it all on his own and was really proud of himself.

If you missed my weekend post these are my new favorite leggings. They look like pants and are under $40.

Leggings | Tee (40% off) | Scarf

Sunday night happy hour. I found these napkins this weekend at Mac and Murphy and knew I needed them:) Those are fresh figs from our tree! We have had our tree three years now and it finally fruited!

Dinner was Veggie Ranch Pizza. We ate this all the time growing up and it is still a favorite.

I tried on this shirt last week and went back this weekend to get her. I love the chambray and ruffle details. You can use code FLASH to save $50 off your order of $100! Ignore my Canadian Tuxedo in the pic:) I am wearing a size small.

Chambray Ruffle Blouse

Happy Monday.

Weekend Style | Under $40 + Anthro Sale!

Happy Saturday! This morning we are off for a fun photo shoot for Frances Moon and then I am headed to the Lumineers concert with some girlfriends tonight, I can't wait!

I wanted to share some recent purchases. They are all under $40 and perfect for now and into Fall.

Leggings | Tee Shirt | Scarf

First of all let's discuss my pants which are actually leggings but they look like pants. That is winning right there. I wasn't sure I would love them because sometimes stuff from the Juniors section is iffy but I really love these leggings. I think I am going to order the black too. They seem to run TTS, I have a small. Best part is they are high rise. They have a band at the top which helps streamline and suck everything in, which as a mom is always a bonus. They come in olive, burgundy and black.

Moto Leggings

This scarf is another pleasant find from the Juniors section. It is huge which I really like. I feel like the bigger the scarf the more options you to wear it differently. The fabric is really nice too and I love the colors for fall.

Scarf

I have mentioned this tee shirt on here a million times. It is my go-to tee shirt of choice. I love the loose boxy fit. I went with a size medium for an even looser fit. It is currently 40% off and only $20. I also own the black and green that is how much I love this tee.

Side note and this has only happened to my white tee but as I have washed it, it has faded some and is partially see through. It doesn't bother me but I do sometimes wear a tank under it.

Burnout Tee

So many of you asked about this tee from instagram and it sold out quickly in the navy/white stripe.

It is now back in stock in a navy/red combo.

You can't beat the price for $19!

Stripe Tee

One more item I just ordered and will report back if the quality is good and it is cute is this cape. I love the colors. I always like a loose, boxy sweater like this because they pair well with leggings or jeans. Also under $40.

Poncho

I wanted to share this stripe and peplum tee I found at Loft this week. I am sucker for stripes and I loved the fit. It is made of a thicker tee shirt material and under $40. I bought a small. I might could have worn an XS but they did not have one in the store and I figured it would shrink some as I washed it.
