Fall Essentials Part 2: The Bean Tote

Whether you're 15, 21, 30, or 80, a Bean tote is for you. This tote is indestructible. Whether you use it to travel, grocery shop, or as a purse or book bag, this LLBean Boat and Tote will always do the trick. It is a classic bag that never goes out of style and with many colors and monogramming options to choose from, the possibilities are endless. I also love that they are super inexpensive meaning there's room to collect! My family and even myself alone have so many of these bags. I use them for the beach, I use them for travel, for storage, and for a handbag. How many totes do you have? What do you use them for? Have a fabulous day!

L.L. Bean Picks during a Sale!

I am a frequent L.L. Bean customer because one, their products are extremely high quality for the price you pay and two, they are made to last. L.L. Bean is currently having a sale, so if you are shopping their sale, I thought I'd point out several great deals. Above is the Adirondack Barn Jacket. I own it in Loden (the olive green color). The coat actually used to be my mother's in the 80's and has since passed it down to me. It has held up so great and is the perfect coat for fall. However, if you are looking for something to wear as a dressy coat, this is not it. It is very roomy and the fabric and shape of the jacket make for an extremely casual coat. For $45 you really can't beat the price either!

This is my picture from one of my Christmas posts. The green fleece in the middle is my Trail Model Fleece Pullover. I absolutely love it. It is so perfect for everything. They don't have a monogramming option which is really very silly, so I just took it to my monogrammer and had them stitch a hot pink monogram on the left chest and it looks great! At $40, I thought it was a great price, but $30 now, even better!

These are my Deerfield Rustic boots. If you've been reading my blog since Christmastime, you probably have noticed them in many of my OOTD's. I love these boots. Seriously they are extremely high-quality. I really shopped around before I decided on these and at the time, they were $150, which was a great price compared to other brands of leather boots such as Steve Madden. Now at $99, they're practically irresistible!

Sleeveless Oxford Shirt. The model doesn't do the shirt justice. It is well fitted, flattering and high-quality oxford cloth. I have it in several colors and wear it numerous times during the summer months. Definitely worth every penny of the $35 price tag.

Have you shopped the L.L. Bean sale? Like me, do you love/own any of these items? Have a fabulous day!

Festive Fun

I love love love wearing holiday themed items whether it be a red and green pin, or go all out in a red and green outfit. I love the Vineyard Vines Santa Hat Headband, it is understated, but also festive!

$30

L.L. Bean also has their seasonal Boat and Tote bags out! How cute would this look with a chunky sweater and jeans, just going to a casual lunch! Or even cuter, you could put some goodies in it and give it as goodie bag at your holiday party! This would also be darling for a little girl to carry her loot in! $22

Plus this week in the Target $1 section, I snagged a super cute red and green grosgrain ribbon bow headband! When it makes it's debut, I'll be sure to post a picture! Have you snagged any adorable holiday accessories!? I'd love to know!! Have a wonderful day!

"I'm with you, rain or shine!"

During the dead of winter when it's so very cold and I cringe just stepping outside, I admit, I wear Ugg boots. In fact, I have several pairs. Personally, I think they are very unattractive footwear, and they don't compliment any one very well. I'm a hypocrite, right? Well, not really. I LOVE my Uggs. They keep my feet so warm and are so comfortable. However, when I wear them, I am not only cringing because I dislike walking to class in the freezing cold or snow but I am cringing at myself for wearing the boots. Over the years, I have come up with several just as good options to keep your feet warm and dry in the winter months. These options, in my opinion are a more fashionable option than your go-to Ugg boots.

L.L. Bean Duck Boots- a preppy staple worn by both sexes. They have so many options such as the shearling lined option.L.L. Bean Town and Field Suede Boots- So classic but also stylishTravel Smith Andiamo Riding boot- I love the metal hardware detail.
Ugg BellvueBorn Miriam- You know you will get great quality when ordering these.

Talbots Quilted Riding Boots- These are at the top of my wishlist!
Old Navy Faux Leather Harness Boots- A great cheap option. Only $34.50

Which pair is your favorite? Do you have any go -to boots in your closet? Have a fantastic day!
