fall favorites for mama

I still am in shock that November is only two days away, but there are so many things I am looking forward to next month -- the start of the holiday season, family traditions, good food, lots of naps, leftover turkey sandwiches, putting up Christmas decorations, ornament shopping, holiday baking, and making new memories with my little family. I am especially excited that Olivia will be able to enjoy it all with us since she is now at an age where she knows what is going on and gets super excited about it. These are going to be the best holidays yet.

Today I've rounded up a few of my Fall Favorites for us Mamas that are serious life-changers. Last Saturday I spent the day to myself out and about and stumbled across some of my new favorite things. I can't get enough of them, and I used coupons everywhere I went so I got almost everything at 50% off or more. As many of you know, when it comes to clothes and shoes, I refuse to pay full price, including for pieces that rarely go on sale. There is always a way to get a deal, sometimes you just have to get creative.


I have been on the hunt for a gorgeous and cozy plaid scarf for awhile now and this is the scarf my dreams are made of. Oversized, super soft and with a nice pop of color that is so desperately needed in my black-and-gray wardrobe, I have been wearing this every single day / plaid blanket scarf

Because one of my favorite ways to relax after a long day is by taking a bubble bath and I'm wild about all-things-almond, this holiday exclusive bubble bath+shower gel combo from Philosophy was a must-have...P.S. the Peppermint Stick shower gel would make a great stocking stuffer and is definitely on my Christmas wish list /

I wear a lot of flats but I wanted a pair of booties that would look great with both skinnies and skirts or holiday dresses, and when I saw these (above) I immediately fell in love. They are classy, comfortable and super versatile / Nine West Lazona Wedge Bootie in Black



Speaking of the flats I wear all the time...these black ballet flats (above) made by Audrey Brooke are my new go-to pair. I only wish I had discovered these sooner, because they are lovely in every way. They are unbelievably comfortable, work with almost any outfit and are a super great price for the quality / Audrey Brooke Pierre ballet flats in Black

Finally, one of my last stops was where I found my favorite piece of all - a  high waisted skirt with mini scalloping that I knew I couldn't pass up (above). At such a great price and so comfortable, I couldn't believe any of these were still left in stock! It is perfect paired with basic colored tops and flats, but looks phenomenal with my new booties and a dressier blouse, which I plan to rock all November and December for holiday parties. If you're looking for the perfect black skirt, this is it / Not available online but similar here & here / It is seriously so good that if you want it and know your size (available in S, M and L), I will buy it and ship it to you!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and happy almost-November!
