Outfit of the Day: Autumnal Hues









I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I'm kicking off the week with a good old-fashioned outfit post! I am so glad I snagged my camera and got these shots because the trees have been showing off lately! I love this time of year and will miss this so much when the trees are bare.  The famous line from Anne of Green Gables is, 'I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.' I could not agree more. 

Yesterday was 'Arlette Day' for J. McLaughlin, so they sent over this beautiful olive green Arlette Turtleneck to celebrate! I'm a big fan of their turtlenecks; they are comfortable, classic, and high quality. I have this in black and wear it so often during the fall and winter. It's truly a wardrobe staple. I wear a size small in the Arlette; it runs true to size. 

Now, I know it was Arlette Day, but the Three-In-One Jacket is so freaking cool!! I did a video about it on Instagram if you want to check it out because I think the video shows off the concept better. It's two pieces: a faux fur vest and a puffer jacket. If you don't know, J. McLaughlin does puffer coats SO well. I have collected quite a few over the years, and they give me Herno vibes for a much more palatable price tag, and the quality is impressive. They're always so chic and well-tailored but still warm enough to be practical as well. They also do faux fur the best. Truly, the very best. I have a few of their faux fur pieces, and they look and feel so real. It's remarkable. So you really get the best of the best with this coat. It's a vest you can wear on its own but also layer over the puffer jacket. The puffer jacket is a simple style that is perfect for daily wear. So you get 3 different styles in one! This jacket runs true to size. I am wearing a size small. 

These Jeans are on sale and have a ton of stretch, so they are very comfortable. The dark wash looks crisp and polished. They run true to size, but because of the stretch, if you are between sizes, size down! They are not skinny jeans as they are more of a boot cut at the hem, but they fit slimmer from the thigh to the calf.

Weekend Wish List

Some items of note... 

- I buy this Eye Cream at full price every eight-ish months. It's my all-time favorite and it's unfortunately pricey. But I guess the price per month is quite reasonable. Anyway, it comes in a Eye Cream Gift Set and you get a moisturizer for 'free'. I love holiday gift sets!

- This  Sculpt Makeup Brush is my favorite brush for bronzer and would make the perfect stocking stuffer! 

- Code SYDNEY20 works on this adorable ski-themed mug. I love the silver handle! 

- This House Gift Bag is so fun and creative. Not to mention, very inexpensive and come in several sizes.

- These Gold Flower Earrings are fun but timeless!  


Some items of note... 

- These Burgundy Knit Pants are such a good look for less of the famous HS pants!

- This Bear Sweater will be on my Christmas wish list! Adorable! 

- This Red Fringe Skirt is the perfect party skirt!

- This Sherpa Hat looks so cozy and a great option when I need to wash my hair!

Lately

Cutest new sweater gifted from Beau and Ro! This is at a better price point than both the Tuckernuck and the Ralph Lauren flag sweaters so I am going to style this and review it and add it into my flag sweater review!

Blueberry skies all week





I hope you all have had a great week. We have had absolutely stunning weather. It's been warm and sunny, and the trees are probably nearing their peak color! 

Thank you to those of you who have checked in and asked how my grammie is doing! She is doing better and healing well, so that's great news. I am praying for her continued healing. We had family in town this week so it was nice to be with them and cheer grammie on! 

My mom's birthday was on Monday, so we had a fun little lunch to celebrate her. On Sunday evening, my parents were over, and my husband made his famous Ooni pizzas for us—my mom's favorite! 

My busy season is in full swing; I cannot believe we are just 62 days away from Christmas! Speaking of holidays, I picked up Halloween candy this week. We always run out, and my husband ends up having to run out and get more. I *really* stocked up this year, so hopefully, we have enough! 

This weekend, we are headed to the symphony, which will be fun! Otherwise, I plan to work quite a bit. I was quieter on social media this week as I had a lot of deadlines to turn in projects that will start to roll out soon! I appreciate you all so much for engaging with my content by liking, commenting, sharing, clicking, etc. ! Influencers are small businesses! 


Wearing: This is what I wore to lunch for my mom's birthday! It was a gorgeous day and I wore something casual since I had a lot of other things to do that day!

Eating: Did you catch my husband's chicken parm recipe that I shared earlier this week? This week, I made the most delicious 'egg roll soup'. I made it up based off of an old favorite 'egg roll in a bowl' recipe. I will share the recipe soon!

Sale: I've been wearing these earrings non stop! Also, I stumbled upon this gown and someone needs to order it. It's SO good. Under $175 right now on major sale. It's absolutely stunning! 

Watching:
We are re-watching all of the Harry Potter movies. I'm a big HP fan but my husband hasn't seen all of them in order and in full! Also, Severance season 2 just dropped their trailer. It wasn't much, but I'm still so excited for a new season in January. 

Loving: Best red nail polish for fall and holiday season!

Wanting:
This is the tree skirt of my dreamsThis tartan dress is on sale and gorgeous for the holiday season! This skirt is gorgeous, under $150, and perfect for any holiday féte! The most gorgeous black tie dress under $200. A fun little red number for the season! Love the color of this cozy pink fleece! A gorgeous initial ornament. I like to tie  on initial ornaments to a bottle of wine or olive oil as a host/hostess gift or onto a wrapped gift! This is another cute little thing that could be tied onto a gift! This giant tree topper bow is incredible! I absolutely love this cocktail dress. These earrings are dainty and cute and under $100! This is an adorable Saloni look for less! I want this bright red jacket, so cozy!
 
Pittsburgh: We had a fun little date night this past weekend at my very favorite spot, Little Tokyo. Best sushi! 


Dark Wash Straight Jeans (under $80)// Gold Flats

Amazon Rec: These gold ballet flats are cuter and nicer quality than their inexpensive price suggests! They are pretty comfortable, too! They run true to size. 

You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!


Smelling: I was sent this laundry detergent and some candles from Snif. The candles were just OK but holy cow, the laundry detergent smells SO good. I go the scent rain check and it smells so fresh and clean and luxurious. It's not overly strong but every once in a while, I get a whiff and it's such a treat.

One Pair of Boots, Styled Three Ways


I've been loving burgundy this season and every fall season. It's such a nice punch and works well with an autumnal palette. When Larroude sent over these burgundy Boots, I was floored! They are easily one of my closet's most stunning pairs of shoes. I've long followed Marina Larroude during her tenure as the VP of Fashion at Barney's, and she has since started her eponymous shoe label. I have a few pairs of Larroude shoes, and the brand does not cut corners. They're all beautiful, and there is always a great selection with a mix of classics and on-trend footwear. They're also very comfortable. 

These boots are classic, and I love the burgundy color. They also have a few other classic boot styles in shades of black and brown, and they are all beautiful. But when I saw the trademark rivets around the ankle of these boots and how they popped against the burgundy, I could not stop thinking about them! 

I say this quite often, but it doesn't belong in your closet if you can't style it in many ways! So here I am styling these gorgeous boots three different ways. Even if these boots are not for you, hopefully, these three outfits will inspire you to style the ones you already have in your arsenal! 

Though yesterday was a near-record high of 84 degrees, boot weather is otherwise here! Thes boots fit true to size. I got my usual size 39 and there is a bit of room to spare for a thicker sock when the temps dip. 

Sunglasses (on sale)// Earrings (under $25 on sale)

I think boots look so nice with a skirt. One way that I didn't style these is with a longer skirt or dress, which is another great look for tall boots. 

Cardigan (under $65 with code SHOPSALE)// Jeans (on sale under $80)
Burgundy Velvet Headband (comes in a set of 3 for under $10!)

The cardigan and jeans are both on major sale. If between sizes, size down in both! They are both great quality, and the jeans have a nice stretch to them, making them very comfortable. 


These black jeans are true skinny jeans and my go-to pair of jeans for boot-tucking! They are very stretchy so they're comfortable, too. They run big so size down if between sizes.
