TOP ~ JEGGINGS ~ SHOES ~ BAG

Maroon and camel...fall inspiration!  This is open your windows kinda weather.  Fall is around the corner and I can feel it!  

This top from Loft is so soft and comfy and comes in two other colors.  It's great for summer as a top and for fall as a layering piece underneath a cozy sweater.   

I'm just going to keep saying it...GET.  THESE.  JEGGINGS.  I even bought two more pairs (just to have when these are worn out).  SO comfy, cozy, stretchy, and leg hugging which is what I look for in a jegging.  The price is so affordable you just can't beat it!  You can get them right now for buy one, get one 50% off at Target.  
       
These espadrilles from Soludos are SO comfy!  I have had my eye on these for such a long time and would love the get the black ones here as well.  Just as an FYI-I have done some 'fashion research' and found that many people are saying to order a half size up and I completely agree, as I did the same.  

Lastly, this bag from Henri Bendel!  There are no words, or I should say that there are too many words ;)    
I spotted this bag on one of my best girlfriends.  Of course I had to ask about the details and she raved about it!  Both of us have little ones and we are tired of carrying our larger baby bag around.  When she told me how much it fit I was stupefied.  When it arrived in the mail I was actually unsure if I was going to keep it.  I opened it, analyzed it and placed it right back in the box.  It was wrapped to perfection and I didn't want to disturb it ;)  I eventually broke down after a long day of carrying my big baby bag and boy oh boy, was I so happy to unearth my backpack.  
Now, there are three ways to wear this bag...yes three!  Backpack, handbag, and shoulder bag.  I love that there are so many ways to wear it because first it's like having three bags in one and second, each style goes with whatever occasion.  I use the backpack and shoulder styles when I'm out with both of my little ones and I use the handbag when it's just me running errands or date night.
I really didn't think I could fit what I really need in a classic baby bag, however, it does!  I am able to fit, a changing pad, 3 diapers, a package of wipes, a package of hand wipes, my wallet, keys, phone, lip gloss, a baba and a thermos cup and last but not least, a snack cup for puffs.  BEST.  BAG.  EVER.

TOP (old, similar) (similar) ~ JEGGINGS (similar)~ HEELS ~ CLUTCH

Another date night in the books!  Ate a yummy dinner and had great conversation-a perfect way to spend a Saturday night.  

Now onto fashion...This top from Anthropologie has been hanging in my closet and begging me to wear it.  I bought it when I was pregnant knowing full well that I wasn't going to be able to wear it until the right time presented itself.  Now that I am back into working out and eating healthy, the time was finally right!  Because the top is old, but thankfully still in style, I've linked two similar ones.  The first link is similar and the second link is similar but also made by the same designer.  

Onto the jeggings...when I first saw these, the one detail that I loved about them was the perfect hem, or should I say non-hem at the bottom.  They're a great jegging, comfy and the color goes with everything.  The non--hem ;) hits at a perfect length.  They are on sale for $19.99 and the similar link are the ones that come in a lighter color.        

Now these heels-as someone stated, they ARE dainty!  I saw the color and fell in love!  How could you not?  Pink and suede AND a cute little knot-AH! Shoe perfection!  I have found that in my experience in purchasing shoes from Banana Republic, it is important for me to order a half size up.  These are on sale right now from $128 to $109 with an additional 40% off so you can get them for around $65.  I am looking forward to wearing them with a midi skirt and sweater for the fall.  

The One Truffle Privacy Clutch is so versatile and a perfect size for a date night or even just to throw in your bag and go!  I had to purchase it in pink because what girl doesn't love a pink clutch.  They have so many more pouches, clutches, etc. go and check them out!  Also, if you join their email list, you can get 15% off of your first order.

TOP (old, similar) ~ JEGGINGS (old, similar) ~ SANDALS

These sandals are seriously one of my favorite pairs!  I searched and searched and I cannot believe that they are still available and that I was even able to find them!  Woohoo!  They are very comfortable and go with everything!  You know me, I like versatility!  The gold beading is darling and adds a little flair to your ensemble.    

COUCH ~ COFFEE TABLE ~ CHAIR ~ TRAY ~ MEDIA BOOKCASE ~ CHANDELIER ~ BASKET ~ PILLOWS

I know that this isn't your typical fashion post so I hope you'll bear with me ;)

I am a big Ballard Designs fan and because I have purchased some items from them I receive their newsletter.  I have been looking for ideas for decorating my family room for a while and while checking my email they have the most awesome living room setup.  Seriously, like THE perfect pieces inspiration and purchase for decorating around the couch that I already own and LOVE!  

I have the couch pictured above and would highly recommend it for your family room, living room, and/or your sitting room.  The Lounge collection from Crate and Barrel is BEYOND and well worth every penny!

Shampoo ~ Conditioner

Ever since I've had my second child, my hair has gone haywire; and I mean, literally HAYwire!  It feels like straw and I seriously did't ever think it would ever go back to the way it used to be :(  Also, who has time to go to the salon?!
 After my first baby, my hair kind of went back to normal.  They (whoever 'they' is) say that your hair falls out in clumps after a few months of giving birth and no joke, I had bald patches (this happened with both kids so I knew what to expect).  Just as an FYI-my hair is growing back slowly but surely.  Fortunately (not really), some of my girlfriends and I had babies around the same age so we were able to commiserate with each other and we knew what to expect.  It's been a year since giving birth and there IS a lot of regrowth (so that when I put my hair up in a bun, I look like I stuck my finger in a socket) but it's not growing as fast as I would like.  UGH!  No patience ;)  
So, as I sat watching my trash television (guilty pleasure), I saw a commercial for Suave with coconut oil.  Of course I went out and bought it immediately (I know, sucker), used it, and NO JOKE...it's a miracle!  My hair went from air drying like straw to air drying like silk (that's how it used to be).  My hair says THANK YOU Suave and thank you trash tv for playing that commercial.

Top ~ Jeggings ~ Flats

This top is going super fast!  Get to Banana now!  ;)  

I've said it once (okay maybe more than once) and I'll say it again~best leg hug jegging EVER!  You can get them a Target now-if you buy one then you can get the second half off at checkout.  

​And as for these flats, I bought them in the spring and I am so glad to see that they are still available.  They are regularly $34.99 and now on sale for $15.    

Sandals

So remember when I posted this?  I got them!  I've obviously had my eye on these for a while and they don't seem to be going out of style anytime soon (because even if they did I would wear them anyway) ;)  Run or click as fast as you can!  They are 50 % off!  Yes, I said 50% off at Nordstrom.  That's like unheard of.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Happy Shopping XO   

Top ~ Jeans

These jeggings fit into the same best leg hug jegging category.  I got these from the #Nsale and after reading some reviews I bought them one size up and they are perfection (the reviews were right).  I also bought them in a 30 length because I like a shorter jean length.  Hurry because they are going fast!     

I spotted this shirt on an Instagram post from a fellow fashionista-THANK YOU! and because my love for polka dots and stripes are infinite, I had to purchase.  I know there are a couple of sales going on at Banana so go and check it out!  

​Happy Shopping! XO
