{What Mama Wore: Put A Sweater On It}


Hello darlings, is it really 3 weeks till Christmas?

Waiting on our Christmas cards I ordered, that still need to be addressedI and sent out! All before Zoe and I head out for our 2nd mama and Zozo NYC trip. EEEEEK, all I have to say is THANK GOODNESS for Amazon prime.

Now onto a little something I wore last week. This right here is nothing special (I definitely say that every week). The skirt is a go-to look when mama is feeling like yoga pants is all she has been wearing (or perhaps said yoga pants are all in the wash pile...). It's comfy, cute and well I feel great when I wear it. A stretchy skirt is a MUST in your closet. This one is from H&M basics and they always have them but I couldn't find it online but loving this one. Cheers to stretchy skirts, slip on sneakers and chunky sweaters that hide how much pirate's booty I ate to get through the market with a sassy-full-of-melt-downs-toddler.





I have been all about the turtlenecks and chunky knit sweaters this year and have my eye on a few more! Check them out below!

Come on ladies spill it: what is your go to outfit for when you are feeling in a style rut?

{What Mama Wore: A Little Dressed Up}


Hi my darlings!

This rainy weather has my hibernating when I should be out tackling a mile long todo list. That and the fact that my baby girl turns two on Saturday and I have been sulking all week, pulling her into bed for "nuggles" and giving in to all the birthday treats she is requesting.

She actually will announce, "Zozo's burrrrdayyyy" as she points to her snack drawer and I instantly melt. bHow the heck does it go by so quickly guys?!!?!?! How? Well I'll leave that for another day.

Here is a dress I wore for our family pictures and again for a little girls night I hosted to share all about Ava Anderson products. Which by the way are incredible, guys I have tried 5 or 6 nontoxic dishwasher pods and these by far beat them all. I also love this dream cream and ordered an eye cream and BB cream (and a fgew other things...) so I will report back but if it's anything like the stuff we have been using I know it'll be great!






Dress is an old Asos dress that I bought post bebe but just recently fit in to it (just being realy here, baby weight has been a STRUGGLE for me but we are slowly inching towards a happy weight...) But this one is similar and this red one is on my list.

As a hostess I stuck to a chunky necklace (TJMaxx score but would love this one) and nothing else. Easier to drink, I mean pour wine and spiked teas this way....

Toddler out for the afternoon with her dadda means mama wore heels (we regularly do no shoes inside but it can easily ruin an outfit... We cleaned them afterward!) The booties are absolute fav old Vince Camuto, but I tried these similar ones and I feel like I have to get them! (these have a much lower heel and very cute).

It was so much fun to host the girls (even though the house is far from done) and to share info on great non-toxic line! Please check them out!! Reach out to Consultant: Diane Sollars (10924) for any info!

{What I Want to Wear: Turkey Day }


Hello my loves,

TGIF! We will be spending the weekend getting the house ready for Thanksgiving and a little local wine tasting (if your local you must try Jewell Towne Vineyards we always take home a couple cases of their yummy wine!) for my MIL's bday. Can't wait for that!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week?? I can hardly believe it! I have a few outfits I'll be shooting this weekend but in the meantime I thought I'd share a few pieces that could last all Holiday party season.

Loving this sweater dress, I wore a similar (black) one to host a little Ava Anderson Hour last weekend and felt so chic and still comfortable. I even kept my booties on all night which is unheard of. Let's be honest here and say this is probably not something I would have worn is Z was here and had to chase her around all night... But perfect for meeting his parents or a friendsgiving. At this price by both black and red!


This tunic is on my major wishlist. Imagine it with leather leggings ot tights and boots. It would hide every extra serving of dessert that I plan on having. The baring the shoulder trend did not die with summer people!!! Well it didn't for me anyway because showing that collarbone guarantees me looking a little skinnier...


I remember the night before Thanksgiving being the night we all went out for drinks in our hometown. We bumped into every ex (and their girlfriends) and folks we hadn't seen in forever. So it was important to look hot without trying. Does that look even exsist after baby?? lol I do think I will need to try majorly to look hot but this top and highwaisted denim and a ton of concealer (and dim lights) will do the trick! I'd probably rock fancy flats with it but heels would be even better.... Then you can wear it with a pencil skirt, tights and boots to your holiday party. I NEED this top and this one.


I just ordered this midi skirt in pink for the holidays and I can't wait to get my hands on it. When ever I purchase something I want to make sure I can wear it multiple times and I think this is one of those pieces. One I can wear through the holidays and beyond. In navy and in berry pink, which are both good decisions. Think cute sparkly cropped sweater + nude pumps = effortlessly chic on a budget. Now I must order some self tanner...


I am in love with a dressier jogger. AKA sweat pants that you can wear to dinner... And these faux leather ones may not be everyone's thing but they are SOOOO mine. Perfect for roadtrippin and still looking put together when you arrive. Hoping Santa reads my blog...


I recently ordered a maxi dress (no longer available) which I think I'll be wearing next week, maybe somehow I'll miraculously do all of the shopping for the food and table setting and get enough of time to get a mani and pedi?? At least the dishwasher comes today... This green one is similar and even prettier with this sale tag!


Anyone have an uber formal Turkey day? Because I am in love with this dramatic skirt, Or Perhaps a holiday gala? Goodness I think I'd even wear it around the house with a tshirt if I didn't get crazy looks from the UPS guy...


Also, Bloomingdale's is having a FABULOUS sale right now and I feel like Zoe needs this dress... Now to convince the hubby on all of these things... lol

My advice is stick to purchasing something you can get more than one wear out of. Ad comfort is key, especially for those of you chasing a babe, watching the timer and pouring glasses of wine!

Now go! Get ordering those holiday outfits now that there is time to ship!

Oh and those of you looking for a smaller version of my monogram door mat I found one for under $20!! I am going to put this one in the mudroom through the garage.
