It may be 90° today in Oklahoma, but a cold front is coming in tonight and I’m over here like #givemeallthesweaters! I have my Pumpkin candles burning, ingredients for chili on my grocery list fort his week and I’m busy shopping for Fall!
Date Night Style
Brian and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary in September. We got all dressed up, went out for a delicious kid free meal, and ended the night by picking up ice cream from the grocery store and watching The BlackList on Netflix! {So romantic, huh?!} We are total homebodies and I wouldn’t change it for anything!
Friday Favorites
Happy Friday, friends! I thought we would start a fun little series where I share some of my favorite things from the week! Whether it be something I recently purchased, something I’m reading or just something I NEED to share! I hope y’all enjoy this! {And if you have some Friday favorites, share them below! I want to see what my friends are loving too!}

So, I’m 31. I’ve been wearing mascara for well over 16 years and I’ve tried them all! I, for one reason or another, always find my way back to L’Oreal Voluminous in Carbon Black. Seriously the best. While I was doing my grocery shopping this week I found this little sidekick, L’Oreal Voluminous Primer. Not only does it amplify your lashes, but it conditions them too! I love how full and long my lashes look when I use this primer/mascara combo!
Athleisure Trend
One trend that I am 100% on board with right now is this “Athleisure” trend. {Which I have been rocking for years as my “I look like I am headed to barre class, but I’m really just headed to school drop off” look.} I can totally get behind anything that involves wear yoga pants and still looking chic!
I posted this on Instagram last night and had a great response, so I thought I would share here too! This is the Niko Top from one of my favorite boutiques, Gray Monroe. I love that this top can be thrown on with skinny jeans and booties and instantly I look put together (those are my favorite kinds of tops!). BUT I also love that I could pair this over a long tank, a pair of leggings and my favorite sneakers for that perfect “Athleisure” look!

Fall Bootie Round Up
My favorite thing about a neutral bootie is that you can really wear them all year long! Of course we love them in the Fall and Winter with sweaters and skinnies, but they also pair perfectly with Spring boho dresses and our favorite Summer off the shoulder tops! I think knowing you can wear something all year long, makes it a little easier to spend more on an item.

Transitioning
Before we truly jump in, I have a confession… I am not a writer. I’m just a girl who loves people, has a passion for styling and wants to somehow get that out to my readers and clients! So please keep that in mind as we move forward!
This can always be a tricky time of year. All the retailers are pushing their Fall lines and we’re still sweating it out with highs in the 90’s (at least we are in Oklahoma)! So where does that leave the consumers who are purchasing these Fall looks, like sweaters and boots?! Let’s break down a few different ways you can still be on trend with those new purchases, but for your current weather trend.
First, don’t be afraid to mix seasons! Adding a chunky sweater with your favorite Summer cut-offs is the perfect blend of the two seasons. Finish the look with minimal jewels and neutral booties.
