Fall Wish List

Now that it's September, I've officially started to transition into Fall and per usual, the coming of a new season brings a need to add new pieces to the wardrobe and I've got my eye on quite a few! 

Along with leopard, leather and sweaters, you'll also find a few goodies on this list- like an amazing dupe of the Zara scarf everyone went crazy for last year (you can bet that baby is already in my closet waiting for cooler days)!

This Texas heat doesn't exactly allow for an overnight transition, so over the past few weeks I've been making progress on this list by picking up one or two things at a time and easing them into my wardrobe. That being said, some of these items have already made their way into my closet, while others are still just a dream in my online shopping cart ;)

Oversized Sweater | Leopard Blouse | Shirttail Sweater | Field Jacket | Excursion Vest | Cardigan

 

 

 

Navy Dress | Plaid Dress | Drop Waist Dress | Faux Leather Skirt | Metallic Skirt 

 

 

Leopard Lace-up Pump | Tory Burch Boot | Leopard Slip-on | Ankle Boot | Lace-up Pump | Lauren Pump
 

 

Skylar Earrings | Bauble Bar Chain Bib |  Alexandra Earrings | Quilted Crossbody | Tory Burch Robinson Tote | Tartan Scarf (ebay version here) | Saturday Satchel | Tassel Scarf

 

 Making this list and slowly putting a dent in it has me REALLY looking forward to some cooler weather (so I can actually put them to use!) but until then, I'll continue my slow, Texas transition with things like darker colored rompers and extremely light sweaters.

I hope September is going well for y'all so far! Although mine got off to a rocky start, days like today remind me to be thankful- things can always be worse. Please take a second of your day to remember those who lost their lives thirteen years ago in the 9/11 tragedies and pray for their families. It's also a great time to think of all of those who are serving in our military due to this event and the sacrifices they've made to protect us.

As always, thank you so much for reading!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Can you believe it's almost May?! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

The month of May means Mother's Day- May 11th is coming up fast, which means it's time to start thinking about how you're going to show your appreciation to your amazing mother. 

Sometimes we all have trouble finding the perfect gift for mom- not because moms are hard to shop for but because they are so important to us that the gift has to be just right. Here's a few gift ideas for every type of mom and all kinds of budgets:

1. The 'Forever Busy' Mom

Perfect gifts for moms who are always on the go:

 May Books- Daily planners, journals, calorie trackers, address books and more // Lori Leigh Travel Jewelry Case // Kindle Paperwhite // Mophie Portable Phone Charger // Michael Kors Watch

Others: Gigi New York Personalized Phone Case // Gigi New York To-Do List  // Kate Spade iPad Cover // Pink Garden Tools Set

2. The 'Chef/Entertainer'

For moms who always seem to be in the kitchen or hosting get togethers with friends:

 Kitchen-aid Mixer // Griddle/Panini Press // Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible // Bar Gadget Set // Labeled Seasoning Rack 

 Others: Frigidaire 8 Bottle Wine Cellar // Margaritaville Frozen Drink Maker // Stackable Wine Rack //  Electric Wine Bottle Opener

3. The 'Healthy' Mom

 For the mother who prioritizes fitness and healthy living:

 Nutribullet // Fit Bit- Activity and sleep tracker // Nike Featherlite Dri Fit Cap // Bose Sport Headphones // Flip Belt- The best way for her to store phone/keys on a run or at the gym

Others: Perfect Portions Food Scale // Nike Running Shirt // Muscle Therapy Foam Roller // Yoga Mat

4. Classic Gifts for Mom 

Not sure what category she fits into? These classic gifts will please any mom:

Medellin Tote // Bath Caddy // Tory Burch Robinson Continental Wallet // UGG 'Nala' Slipper // Kate Spade New York Seaport Pearl Studs // Tory Burch Perfume Gift Set // James Avery Heart Knot Bracelet // Nator 'Nirvana' Robe

Most moms will agree that Mother's Day is not about how much you spend or what you get them as much as it's about the gesture of appreciation and being together. However, I highly doubt she'll complain about receiving any of the items on this list ;)
