One color combo that will always be effortless and chic is red, white, and black. There's no denying the powerful punch and classic feel it has. The red accents instantly grab your attention and provide that crucial pop. When I saw this dress at Forever 21, I instantly feel in love. It's a good quality piece and has more of a sturdy structure than many other items from there. I bought this in the store and as far as I can tell, it sold out online quickly, though you may still be able to find it in an actual store.

How cute is Ava's little outfit too?! Her top says "Stay Fancy" and I could not agree more =) For anyone that has children with in between sizes, The Children's Place carries them with on trend and chic clothing! Right now Ava could either be in an 18 month or a 12-18 month. Not everyone carries the in between sizes though so it's a score every time I find a store that does.

Marled Turtleneck // Rainy Days

Hello, friends and happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. We had a rainy one as predicted so this post is pretty appropriate. It had also rained a few of the days we were in Rehoboth. While I'd rather it not rain on vacation, it is nice to have some rainy days at home. That always means cozy cuddle time inside with my little love bug! It allows me to also catch up on any reading, movies, tv shows, or chores that I've fallen behind on. I picked up this top (similar) a few weeks ago in preparation for our trip. I love turtlenecks for layering and could not beat the softness and gray color. This time of the year, the weather is so unpredictable at the beach so I needed to bring items that would be versatile and allow me to layer on or off depending on the temperature. This casual look was great for walking around the town and doing a bit of sight seeing.

White Lace // Two Ways

Happy Friday! One of my favorite things about the beginning of fall is still being able to wear summer pieces with light layering. It's hard to believe that only 1 week ago I was able to wear this dress comfortably and now, back in PA, its cold, windy, and rainy. Yesterday, Ava and I just spent the day cuddling inside watching classic movies and polishing off a whole bag of gold fish. I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it in the store. The delicate lace mixed with the bell sleeves and open back is so dreamy and whimsical. Plus, it's under $30. To switch to a more fall appropriate look, I added this utility vest, black hat, and swapped out the pink sunnies for rose gold ray bans. The vest is a great piece for layering with effortless style.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! It's supposed to be more of the same weather around here with the cold and rain. Booo. Looks like Ava and I will be catching up on more classic movies and snacks. Not too bad lol. ;)

Little Gray Dress

This flowy marbled swing dress is one of those dresses you can simply throw on with ease and head out the door. It's so comfy and I've been gravitating towards gray colors lately. It's fantastic to pair with olive, burgundy, and blush. Some of my fall favorites! I wore this out for our first night in Rehoboth. It was the first time that I had worn these heels and they do need to be broken in a bit before they feel comfortable. They do fit true to size though. The lace ups are totally eye catching and on trend.

I've got so many photos still to edit from our trip!  I'm thinking of doing a separate post on just the family photos once they're all done. This always happens with my vacation photos. I end up taking so many and then procrastinate on editing them. Does this happen to anyone else with their vacation photos??

Pink Lace Dress

Happy Monday! This past week my family and I had our annual family vacation in Rehoboth Beach, which was much needed if I do say so myself. We all had a great time and felt so thankful to be able to spend some quality time together. We had just about every type of weather you can think of for the fall, but honestly I really enjoyed that! Some days were sunny and hot, some were cloudy and cool, some were windy, and some were rainy. There was very limited wifi where we stayed so I wasn't able to use my laptop. It was nice to unplug for a bit and yet still have a little bit of access to what was going on in the world. Ava did absolutely amazing too! She really is a trooper on all of my trips. Traveling with kids is not the most relaxing thing in the world, but it does bring so much joy to watch them having fun and experience all of these new things with you.

On one of the hot days I was able to pull out this pink lace dress. It fits my body incredibly well (wearing a small) and has the prettiest crochet lace details and cut out in the back. How gorgeous is the eyelash trim on the bottom hem too?! Obviously, I adore the blush color. Even though its fall now where burgundy and olive reign supreme, I still love to wear colors that would be considered more for spring and summer. Think a pink sweater or coat that will look just as chic in the fall or winter and let you stand out from a crowd of darker hues.

Plaid has always been a fall favorite of mine. It's the one pattern that I always turn to and know how easy it is to dress up or down. I personally love wearing it on the weekends for a casual cool look. This top is so comfy and will definitely keep you warm in the cooler temps. I was actually a bit too hot on our Jim Thorpe trip wearing this. The afternoon hours ended up being a bit warmer than expected. On the flip side, it's good to know how cozy it'll keep you in the crisp fall air! I love the patriotic colors, which were perfect for the Labor Day weekend.

The weather has been jumping all over the place in PA. One day it'll be nice and cool in the low 70s and then the next it'll jump right back to the humid 90s of summer. I feel that's how fall always is around my area. Layers are essential! September has always been one of my favorite months, May being the other. The sky always appears to be sapphire blue in September with still warm days and cool nights. I was always excited to go back to school too, haha. Yep, I was one of those kids. Maybe it was just the back to school shopping lol. In any case, September has that feeling of starting anew, most likely because of the new school year, just like May has the same feeling because of Spring blooming.

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Justin and I took Ava to get her photo with Santa Claus. She did so well and only had a pouty face on when sitting with Santa. We were both afraid she might start crying, but she held out haha. I have the image posted below. We also stocked up on some ingredients for Thanksgiving. I cannot believe it's already here! I'm pretty excited for all of the food and family gathering.

Speaking of, this cozy blush pink turtleneck (also comes in white ) is perfect for the holiday. I was snug as a bug and loved that its a little bit over sized. It'll be great for hiding all of the extra food I'm bound to eat for Thanksgiving! The color is beautifully soft and the weight is fantastic for the cold weather. I was able to walk around all day without my coat on. These pom-pom mittens kept my hands nice and toasty too. There is an inner limning to give that extra oomph of warmth. How adorable are the pom-poms?! These would make great gift items for a fashion loving friend. I know I'd definitely love to get them!
