The Transitional Secret Weapon

Now that my Fall Fashion post is officially out of my head, I can focus on the other fun fashion things.

This week, in “What I Pulled”…

As you probably know I’m a very busy Mama to a five and three year old. They are both in some form of school so my days start early. Which is exactly the way I prefer it. I’m completely ready for the day and have their lunches packed by 6:30 am. This requires an outfit that is really going to be able to hang in there all day and not make me want to light it on fire.

I’m not one to always be thinking of comfort when it comes to style but some days demand it. What I pulled for a busy day of school drop off/pickup, errands, cleaning my house and whatever else I may have done was both stylish and comfortable but also great for this transitional weather here in Southwest Pennsylvania.

One of my secret weapons for the transition into fall weather is black bike shorts. Not only are the possibilities endless with dressing them up or down, they are so cozy. Mornings right now are chilly so I grabbed a seasonally appropriate print to layer that was lightweight. I threw it on over top of my black bodysuit and bike shorts for an instant look. But, once it warms up (or you break out into an uncontrollable sweat from getting small children out the door), take it off and tie it! Still cute, still put together, and you aren’t dying of a heat stroke.

For the shoe, a bootie is my favorite for this time of year. These chunky heeled shoes are perfect for a look with cool tones like this one. Finish the look with silver accessories (cool tones, see?). To further talk about completing the look, I ACTIVELY tried to not wear a hat. I just couldn’t stop myself from wearing one. I’m a hat girl. Why hide who you are? Haha!

Here’s to hoping your week is fantastic and full of good things!

Picturesque Palettes

Hi! Happy Tuesday!

So, the fashion part of my blog has taken a backseat this year because quite honestly, I’ve had zero time to think about it. But here I am having a minute to think about it and even though I’ve been slammed, I’m going to kick off this post with the first of my palette segment. I’ve named it “Picturesque Palettes”. The concept of me using palettes is for you to use it as a tool when you’re in a rush. It can also be just a different way to build an outfit.

This color combination is a really good one for Fall and Winter. So keep in mind, the pants don’t need to be the only place you can wear the color. Feel free to wear this combo in any way you see fit.

One more thing I’m doing…

Once a month, I’m going to be posting about something that I’m loving right now in fashion. Not necessarily a trend just something in general that I’ll feature.

As always thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet.

Sparkle and Style

Hey Friends!

We seem to have made it to another Monday. Me? Barely. A stomach bug tried to take my whole house out last week but here I am recovered and here to talk about two very fun topics.

First and most importantly…

Happy Prosecco Week!

One of my most favorite things to drink is this bubbly masterpiece and I’ve partnered with Freixenet Prosecco to bring you some amazing bubbly content. In honor of this fabulous week, I’m bringing you three fast facts about this sparkly sip.

1. The name “Prosecco” is actually Slovenian and it means “path through the woods” which is the only reason you see this girl in the woods…

2. The original Bellini recipe called for Prosecco not Champagne (still love you, Champs!).

3. Most Prosecco is fermented in big steel tanks. This helps with less sediment and also helps with the cost. Along with both of those things the Tank Method is great because its such a clean way to make it that you can really taste the flavors and aromas.

   So now you might know a little more than you did about Prosecco and maybe go pick yourself up a bottle or two to spice up this Monday! Might I suggest Freixenet which is always my choice. Like Champagne or Rosé better? They have that too!

Don’t get me wrong I love Summer but come July I start shopping for all things Fall and I start my yearly Fall Fashion post. In all of the almost eight years that I’ve been blogging this is the post I spend the most time on and it’s anything but ..fast.

While I start working on that, I thought I’d bring you two trends that you can rock right now. One of these are most definitely on my Fall Fashion list.

Matching Sets

Bonus points for floral. Head to toe floral was huge this year on the runways for Spring and Summer 2021. I know, I know, “Florals for Spring? Ground breaking.” But this is a great fresh look that I simply love.

A BoyFriend Blazer with a Bra Top

Both a Boyfriend Blazer and Bra Top were a trend for Spring and Summer and will absolutely continue into the Fall. It’s an easy and very chic look. You can throw this outfit together in minutes and look so polished.

I hope your Monday is short and ends with some delicious chilled Prosecco!
