Style Files Vol 20 | All About the Kids

Today it is all about kid fashion and I have two pretty cute models:) 

Frances Moon Outfit: Blouse | Leggings | Shoes

Sterling's Outfit : Sweatshirt | Pants similar | Shoes

Can we talk about Frances Moon's top??  I only wish it came in my size.   Sizing wise she is wearing the 4/5T.  I usually order a size up for her so she can wear it longer.    

It also comes in this dress version.

After I snapped these photos I could not believe how grown up Sterling looked.  He styled his own outfit and I kind of love it!   

A few other kid favorites.  Half of these are sitting in my cart right now for Sterling and Frances.  Nordstrom has such a great selection of kid clothes.

Hoodie | Reindeer Sweater | Pink Dress | Navy Dress | Star Uggs
Tree Tee | Camo Pants | Plaid Shirt | Green Dress | Plaid Dress
Sweatpants | Black Mocs | High Tops | Gold Leggings | 
Pom Pom sweater | Pink boots | Ballet Flats 

Any of these would make great Christmas gifts as well!

I am already thinking about Christmas PJ's.  I swear if you don't buy them early sizes get gone.   I get so excited about these every year.  Frances is all about night gowns these days and I love these two.

Scenes From Our Weekend

Thursday night I headed to our monthly girl's supper club at my friend Ann's house. 

Rocking some leopard and ruffles.  I am wearing the US 6 and it is slightly sheer FYI but I am not wearing a tank underneath.  

Leopard blouse | Earrings | Jeans | Ring

I only got to stay about an hour before I got a call from Matt saying Frances had stuck a bead up her nose so I left to meet them at the ER.  Luckily it was not high up her nose and came right out.

Here she is sleeping soundly afterwards and no joke she is still wearing her bracelet from the hospital she will not take it off.  Matt laughed and said it was the most expensive bracelet she owns.

Friday I met my friend Ashley for mani/pedis and lunch at Butcher and Bee.  We tried the Greek wine flights.  I always love a wine flight it is a fun way to try out different wines.

I had the mezze platter with kale salad, spicy carrots and falafel.  You really can't go wrong with anything at Butcher and Bee.  

Later that day we took the kids to see the new trolls movie.  8 kids together at a movie was no joke.  I could barely watch the movie but the kids had a blast.  The music was really good!

Saturday we ran some errands and had lunch at East Bay Deli.  I love the Carolina sandwich.

I worked in Frances Moon's big girl room.  I hung this painting by Marquin Designs that I am loving!! We also found a fabulous sparkly dress for her birthday and the holidays from Pink Chicken.

Saturday night I watched a Hallmark movie.  Words can't describe how much I love a Lifetime/Hallmark holiday movie.    This sweatshirt and pants are my go to loungewear.  I have also been loving the Love and Lemons Cookbook.  So many great recipes.  

Sweatshirt | Pants | Pom Pom Throw 

Snuggles before bed.

Sunday we went to church.  Then did a little grocery shopping for the week.  

My church dress is now 40% off, I am wearing a size 4.  I love it with heels for church but it is also really cute paired with booties or knee high boots. 

Dress | Pumps | Necklace

Frances thought it was hilarious to put doughnuts over her eyes in the grocery store. 

Made two salads for my lunch this week.  Both are so good and really easy to toss together.  

No Mayo Broccoli Salad + White Bean Salad (this recipe came from The Happy Cook by Daphne Oz) see below

Don't miss out the Nordstrom Clearance sale is going on right now.  Most items are 40% off and many are up to 60%.  I rounded up my top picks.  Scroll through to see them.

Happy Monday.

Thoughts For Friday

TGIF!  I am excited for the weekend and the fact that it is getting a little cooler here- like under 80, yes please!  The kids are dying to see the new Trolls movie so I am hoping to do that one day this weekend. 

We had a fun Halloween only bummer was it was on a school night.  Both kids had last minute costume changes.  Next year no joke I am not buying their costumes til the day before.  Frances ended up going as a princess and Sterling was a zombie rocker.  He was bent on creating his own unique costume- gotta love his creativity:)

We were cleaning out the garage and the kids found Matt's old Halloween costume from college and insisted he wear it.  He obliged and we called him a wiener all night:)

Scored this tank at Target- perfect for halloween.  It is only $12, I wear it to the gym too.

Made Tomato/Zucchini Pie for dinner this week.  I crave these every few weeks.  Frances Moon loves it as much as I do and gobbles it up. 

 The den is finally coming together.  Loving my recovered chairs and pom-pom throw.

Throw | Pillows 

We had a playdate after school the other day.  Frances Moon and her friend Anna Louis are the sweetest together.

Two recent OOTD's.

I originally bought this tee for the gym but I have loved it equally for causal wear with jeans.

Tee Shirt | Necklace | Jeans | Flip Flops | Tote | Ring

Tee Shirt | Scarf  (only $19) | Jeans | Pumps

The new Beauty Counter Holiday gift sets were just released and they are so good.  I ordered a few and I will report back after I try them.  I am super pumped about this lipgloss set.  BC lipgloss is my favorite because it is not sticky.  Frances loves it too:)  All of these colors are great. 

Lip Gloss Set

I am in a major book rut.  I want something good to read but not too heavy.   Any recommendations?   I just finished Jane Green's Falling and really liked it.  Her books are always easy reads.  

A few pink pretties:

I love these pink calf hair pumps and they are on sale 40% off right now with code BRFAMILY.  They come in several other colors too.  They run TTS.

Purse | Shoes | Earrings | Lipstick in Dusty Rose | Lip Gloss in Rose

Have a great Friday! 

Entertaining + Home Favorites

Table Runner | Wine Coaster | Martini Shaker | Cheese Board | Wine glasses

There is nothing I love more than entertaining whether it be a full blown dinner party or an impromptu happy hour with neighbors.  With the holidays right around the corner so many stores are getting in some great entertaining items.  Perfect to use over the holidays or to use as gifts. 

This round cheese board is my favorite,  perfect for a small nibble.  I actually own two.  They make great gifts too and are under $50.  The table runner is such a fun addition to any table and great for the holidays because of the sparkle.

Our fig tree has had so many figs so I have been trying to think of ways to use them.  Pictured below are figs sliced and wrapped with prosciutto then drizzled with honey- super yummy!  

I am kind of obsessed with this wine coaster!!  The gold lips, are so fun!   It is only $22.  I love the idea of this as a hostess gift or birthday gift for a friend paired with a good bottle of wine.

My martini shaker has since sold out but this one is almost identical and even cheaper than what I paid for mine.  I love gold bar accessories.

Martini Shaker

I really like these simple stemless wine glasses.  They can go in the dishwasher which makes clean up easy! 

I want to add these pink martini glasses to my pink glass collection I love them so much.  I have started collecting pink glasses and these would be the perfect addition to my collection.

I recently bought this Pom Pom throw and I am loving it.  The pom poms make me happy every time I walk in my den.  Perfect for snuggling on the couch after entertaining!

A few other entertaining favorites.  The Nordstrom Home department has so many fabulous things right now!  

Pink Decanter | Lips Wine Coaster | Triangle Cheese Board | Gold Nut Bowl

Gold Serving Platter | Wine Glasses | Ice Bucket | Pom-Pom Throw

Pink Decanter | Stripe Cheese Board | Nest Candle | Gold Abstract Pitcher

Pink Champagne Glasses | Wooden Bowl

I want one of each.  I am especially lusting over those pink decanters for my console table in my dining room.  That Nest candle is my favorite scent for the holidays and I love the pretty container it comes in.  

Right now Nordstrom also has this special holiday edition of the 3 Nest holiday scents.  Trust me they all smell amazing.
