Did you ever have one of those days when you don’t have time to do your hair and a hat becomes your best friend? Those days seem to be happening to me more often. I’m constantly on the go … running errands or transporting the kids around, so when I don’t have time to do my hair, I like to throw on a hat in hopes that it’ll look like I tried to put myself together. This faux leather hat is very affordable and looks stylish with almost any outfit.

Pumpkin Patch

pumpkin-patch-5 pumpkin-patch-4 pumpkin-patch-3-2 pumpkin-patch-6pumpkin-patch-1This past weekend we went to the pumpkin patch. Despite driving around in circles to find parking and fighting the crowds, we had a good time.  Any quality time together as a family is treasured memories for me. The kids are growing up so fast and the day will come when they will grow out of wanting to do these festive activities … so, no matter how much of an inconvenience it may be, l will keep trying to show our children the importance of family bonding. Enjoy the moments! I know I’m cherishing them!

Looking for a dress that can go from day to night?

Lazy, nothing to do days are rare around my house. We often have those crazy hectic days filled with one activity after another; these are the days I dress in an outfit that is versatile.  This dress can easily transform from day to night. It is easy to move around in and can be worn to morning play dates with kids, lunch with a girlfriend or date night with the hubby.

What season is it?

I’ve been so confused with the weather lately. One day it’s 90 degrees outside and the next day it’s sweater weather. So… before it’s officially Fall and I bring out my sweaters and boots, I wanted to wear this romper one last time. This flowy long sleeve romper is ideal for those hot days because the style of it allows my body to breathe. I paired this outfit with mid-length gladiator sandals; which are perfect for me since I’m not very tall and it gives the illusion that my legs are longer. They’re so comfortable and are ideal for a date night. 

The little details matter…

I’m obsessed with long sleeve shirts that have thumbholes at the end of the sleeve. My first introduction to this genius idea was when Lululemon kicked off their workout line. I thought, “Wow, a built-in glove to keep my hands warm while still being fashionable.” I fell in love with the way it would give my hand a sense of chic style. It was unique, bringing back the Madonna gloves except with a modern day flair. In fashion, details like this matters. Now, I see numerous brands replicating this same concept, from sportswear to contemporary fashion. This ensemble is a great example of it.
