SHOP: Dress (under $50)| Hat | Heels

FRIDAY! Can’t wipe the smile off this face. It’s been a week. Like the longgesssttt week. Parents of teenagers, BRAVO to you. This shit aint easy.

Going to keep it short and sweet with a fun list of things I’m diggin this week……

Let’s start with this Band Of Gypsies Dress. It’s right under $50. The smocked bodice style is so on trend right now. I am 5’8 so I did size up to a large in this dress for length. Great for weddings + holidays. My Hat was a top seller last month. So happy you guys like it as much as I do. It’s a great dupe for the Lack of Color $140 hat, except this on is only $44 and comes in tons of color option.s Oh, and it’s adjustable if you have a smaller head. These Heels were made for walking. Let me tell you, I’ve gotten my money out of these heels. They’ve been used and abused and you can’t even tell!

Water tip: drink 9 gulps every time you reach for your water bottle. Not 8. Not 10. 9 gulps. I’ve been doing this for a few days now and I’ve doubled my water intake. Try it out!

My next DIY is going to be this Eucalyptus Wreath because I really, really need this in my life. But, I cannot fathom spending $78 for a wooden ring with greenery attached to it.

Tried Trader Joe’s new Riced Cauliflower & Butternut Squash Risotto and it’s really good. Different, but I loved it. And for my Weight Watchers gals….it’s 1 point for 3/4 cup. Which is ah-mazing!

Each year I look forward to Lauren Conrads Halloween Costume reveal. She kills it every.single.time.

OMG – J.Crew Factory came out with a bunch of new arrivals. And they are good! I’ll be sharing a try-on next week. If you can’t wait, here are a few things I’m obsessed with: Scallop Hem Sweater | Flannel Shirt With Ruffle Collar | Long Sleeve Funnel Neck Pullover | and this is on it’s way to my house Printed Puffer Vest.

A couple DM’s I get on the regular…..What neutral lipstick did you say you love? MAC Nude Lipstick in Velvet Teddy. What Mascara + Eyelash Primer combo do you swear by? Mascara | Eyelash Primer. What are those eye drops you use? Lumify Redness Reliever Eye Drops

Bay got the new iPhone 11. She bought it herself, just FYI! Homegirl has been babysitting and racking in the dough. Anyway, the phone, It’s fucking fabulous. She takes all my photos. Then air drops them to me. She’s the best! You can even take selfies in portrait mode. Swear! Now that Bay’s got it all dialed in, I think I’m going to pull the trigger. I just ready Julian Engel of Gal Meets Glam explain all the reasons you NEED one and she’s spot on.

We’ve got a fun mother + daughter morning planned for tomorrow. Inducing a new pair of Vans to re-pay Bay for all her blog photography…lol.

Remember when I made {butternut sauce + spicy sausage pasta}? I’ve been dreaming of this dish. Think I’m going to make it next week and take new photos (using Bay’s iPhone most likely lol) to update this post.

How bad ass are these Smokeless Fire Pits? You burn wood and don’t smell like you’ve been camping. Not sure how that works, but I think it’s absolutely brilliant.

SALE finds for the day: My #1 Levi’s 721 Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans are 50% off and UNDER $50! Runnn! The white Martha Stewart Cast Iron Dutch Oven that I own + LOVE is marked down from $180 to $60. This would make a great Christmas Gift. Hunter Boots for $90. They are selling quickly, so if you need a new pair – now is the time. Another great gift idea: Bar Initial Necklace. It’s marked down from $92 to $30!!! 10 pairs of Chonies for $35! This is a great deal.

Bay’s going to bake something festive for a pumpkin carving party this weekend. We can’t decide. #1 | #2 | #3
