I can’t believe its the end of summer break for my family!  Ollie starts kindergarten next week and I just can’t believe it. Our last baby going into school full time. We wrapped up the end of summer break at lake Powell.  We went boating, tuning and surfing. it’s been a couple years since we’ve been here – it’s so beautiful! If you’ve never been, there’s no lake like it! Feels like you’re in another planet.

Now I am in full back to school mode and feeling ready for transitioning my closet to fall!! Craving feeling cozy again. Excited I just found this suede bucket bag that’s really similar to the Madewell bag I wore on repeat last year, and its on sale 40% off! I just got this quarter zip for under $30 and its such a great transitional piece. These cami tanks I’ve still been wearing on repeat. I’ve loved them for summer and they will be perfect under sweatshirts this fall.

I hope you all are enjoying the end of your summers, or some slower days if school has started back for you! Excited to share more fall content soon!

I recently got these quarter zip pullovers and love them so much!  I got both the ribbed version and the smoother version. They remind of of Varley for a fraction of the price!  They work perfect with shorts now and I’ll wear them with jeans or sweatpants this fall. The full top + shorts set here is under $50!

Still getting lots of wear out of these wide leg white pants!  These tanks I’ve still been wearing on repeat. Love that they are so thick – double lined and smooth you out. This brown tote I got last year and its still one of my faves. Such a great size for every day work and mom life and perfect for travel too. Full outfit linked here.

I’ve been wearing this watch almost daily lately – such an easy way to elevate your look! Looks designer and is under $30!  Linked my gold bracelets here too.

I love this outfit we got Ollie for back to school!  I found him a bunch of great tops and shorts from here. These plaid shirts are so cute and come in a few colors!  Full outfit + more finds linked here.

These jeans are one of Mara’s fave pairs – she has them in a couple colors. Such a great teen girl jean for under $100! Her plaid tank is new and under $15! Full outfit linked here.

Another back to school outfit for Ollie!  I love the bright red!  His darker jean shorts are sold out, but I got him the lighter version too. His full outfit linked here.

The kids were heading out with their friends the other night and they looked so cute I snapped a pic. Wes loves these oversized basic tees. Cody loves them too and I wear them as oversized comfy tees. I really like the brown one! They are such a great basic staple and they are under $10! They come in a bunch of colors.  Mara loves these double lined camis I have too so we grabbed her a couple colors!  She wore the black one like 5 days of the week 😂 These are the same jeans I linked above that she has in another color and loves!

The post Life Lately – Finds I’m Loving + Kids Back to School appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Some of my tried and trues have run out and thought it would be fun to share some of my recent restocks, random buys and things I’m loving lately. Like this counter spray -I love this scent!

Let me know if you’ve tried any of these items and what you thought! Always love hearing what you think!

I just got this new pajama set and they are SO soft!! They come in a few colors and now I want more!

A recent travel outfit – I’ve been loving baseball hats lately and just got this dark brown one. Wearing the Abercrombie tank here too in white. Full outfit details linked here!

I was out of 4 of my tried and true skincare products and it was crazy it hasn’t landed like that in awhile and my skin immediately broke out when I was trying to sub different products before my stuff came in the mail. I think more than ever it was the affirmation how much I love these products, but also find your tried and true routine and if it’s working you don’t need need to switch it up!! Snail mucin / elemis anti-wrinkle hydrating essence

I’ve been living in these double lined, bra-free camis this summer. They are the perfect thickness and are so flattering and smooth you out and suck you in. I had to get it in multiple colors. Love the tshirt version too! These gym shorts are also a closet staple for me – I have them in multiple colors and have loved them for years!

These clear pencil boxes are the best – I’ve been organizing a ton using these. I totally organized our art cabinet with the larger size – I love that they are clear so I can see whats inside them in the cabinet. I used one for stickers, for paint, for colored pencils, etc. I used the smaller size to organize my medicine cabinet.  The smaller size is also amazing for keeping snacks in my purse on the go. I love that the hard case keeps the snacks from getting smashed and they are easy to grab and go! 10/10 recommend these cases for so many different uses!These clear pencil boxes are the best – I’ve been organizing a ton using these.

I just got Ollie these new velcro adidas for back to school shoes and they’re so perfect for kindergarten! I shared a video of how easy they are for him to put on without laces here. Linked the other colors they come in too!

This face cream has being a holy grail skincare product for me – I’ve repurchased this multiple times!  My dry skin just drinks this up, especially in the summer. Its a great price point for a clean, high quality face cream too!

just got Cody this new tee in a few different colors – we love this camo print! Under $10!!

I just got this new pair of white APL sneakers and love them so much!!

I wore this green dress to my niece’s wedding this weekend – it comes in a bunch of colors and is under $50!! Full outfit linked here.

these Target picture frames are on sale 30% off!

This is the only item I recently ordered from the Nordstrom sale! All my boys love and wear these so I stocked up on them for back to school.

I can’t help myself – I recently started hearting a few things I’ve had my eye on for fall. Here are a few things from my recent order and things I’m loving lately!

The post Restocks, Random Buys & Things I’m Loving Right now… appeared first on Hello Fashion.

1. First up is this beautiful wood arched cabinet from Walmart! This cabinet kept selling out for good reason – its such amazing quality and looks so much more expensive than it is…and its under $400!! This specific cabinet comes in 3 colors and it also comes in a few different similar styles too. If you are looking for a cabinet for your living room or kitchen, this is the best find!

2. I did an entry way refresh last year and this console table was the perfect piece!! This ribbed light wood console table is so sturdy and such great quality and you won’t believe the price!  I love how the light color brightens up our entry way and that it has storage inside to hide loose ends.

3.  This white boucle swivel accent chair continues to be a best seller and I can’t recommend it enough! We bought two of them last year and have had them in our primary bedroom – they make the perfect bedroom accent chairs for reading and watching TV. The chair is oversized enough its like a chair and a half and perfect for curling up and lounging in it.

We recently moved one of the chairs to my living room because I wanted to refresh the space – I am obsessed with how the swivel chair brightened up my living room! It’s so cozy and the boucle material is such great quality – it has held up so well over the last year. The chair is under $300 and I will recommend it over and over again!  I was excited to see it now comes in a smaller kids version too that is under $100! 

4. This burgundy sleeveless long dress is so beautiful and flattering that I’ve worn it to multiple events over the past year and have it in multiple colors! Its been a staple go to dress for me and some of my favorite and most worn dresses come from this retailer – they are affordable and so gorgeous!  This one is under $100!

5. These knee high brown boots were such an amazing find!  I was excited that tall boots are back in style and love this brown suede pair – they are super affordable under $100!

6. My shark vacuum carper and upholstery cleaner is something we can never live without now!  With four kids and a big dog, I feel like I am always cleaning up carpet stains. I love that this cleaner worked so well on our white couches too. The before and after was mind blowing!

7. You guys know I’m obsessed with Abercrombie and these black pants from there are some of my top favorites!  They are the perfect wide leg pant. I love how they can be dressed up more polished for a work pant, or down with sneakers. I like to wear them when I’m traveling on an airplane too because they are so comfy. They are under $100 and they go on sale a lot – and they come in lots of different colors! I love the lighter colors for spring and summer too!

8. This pink crochet swimsuit coverup is something I wore on repeat last year for our beach vacation and over the summer. I love that its flowy and not too short so I’m comfortable chasing around my kids and hanging with the family, but its also so stylish and flattering!  I love this pink dress so much that I just ordered the new bright blue color for my beach trip this year! I also love this affordable alternative version– such a great dupe for under $40!

9. I’m such a huge fan of adidas and these burgundy spezial adidas were a most loved pair from this past year!  They are such a great, comfy everyday sneaker to wear with jeans or sweats. I love all of the different colors for different seasons! 

The post 2024 Bestsellers appeared first on Hello Fashion.

My favorite, most comfortable sneakers! So comfortable and they are 25% off right now.

DETAILS: WHITE ADIDAS SNEAKERS (25% OFF!) BLACK BOUCLE SWEATER | QUILTED NORTH FACE VEST (ALSO LOVE THIS ONE) | NORTH FACE BELT BAG | BLACK LEGGINGS | NIKE SOCKS | SUNGLASSES (NORDSTROM IN-STORE) | SCRUNCHIE (SIMILAR HERE)

I’ve had these sneakers for years and they are hands down the most comfortable sneakers I own. They are a running shoe so I’m sure that has something to do with it haha but I love wearing them out and about for running errands in a sportswear look or going to the gym. They are also 25% off right now in all colors! Amazing quality and hold up really well – you will love. Also linking these leggings again that I bought earlier this year and are still one of my faves – the fabric is amazing and has a super sculpted fit. Makes you feel amazing whenever you wear them and the reviews are through the roof.

I’m also all over anything North Face right now. To be fair you kind of can’t not love North Face if you grew up in Montana and now live in Utah because winter just isn’t the same without them. I was obsessed in high school especially and a North Face coat was one of the first big things I saved up for. I’m loving that quilted vests are coming back in because they are such an easy layer to throw on and go. Also obsessed with all the cute throwback styles North Face has been adding lately – also have this one and love the cropped fit of this one. Classic, must-own winter sportswear brand!

Over the years my sneaker collection has gradually overtaken my heel collection. My favorite workout sneakers of all time are hands down every variation of my adidas UltraBOOSTs. I have multiple pairs of the UltraBOOSTs and the UltraBOOST Xs and wear them all on repeat. I just got this pair in white and wore them all over Park City this past weekend. They are really lightweight and have a boost cushioning for extra support so it feels like you’re walking/running on air.

I also ordered this sweat set from Finish Line – I love borrowing from the boys! Especially in loungewear and sweats, I’m loving the oversized fit so I ordered a size medium in this sweatshirt and small in joggers. Also love the oversized hoodie over biker shorts! Below are some other pieces I ordered from Finish Line for the family. You can also see more of our family adidas looks in this post.

I have a couple home posts I am so excited to share but I want to be able t have the images not be blurry!

We are still living in loungewear. I got these looks a couple months ago for the fam, When you start adding some of your favorite loungewear to your cart and end up with a full family look. 😂 I almost died when I saw these cute baby Superstars for Ollie and then got so excited to find him an infant Adidas set (okay, I might’ve ended up with this one too – so cute!). If you’ve seen any of my posts lately, you know that you don’t have to talk me into a comfy sweatshirt or pair of joggers – these are actually men’s joggers, I just sized down to a small in bottoms for that oversized look (also got a couple men’s sweatshirts in a size M, but will also be stealing Cody’s. 😉 Also got these grey joggers and love the logo pattern!

We made a Tiktok of this look and it broke over 13 million views! You can watch the video here.  Are you guys on Tiktok yet its my favorite social media app right now 🙂 If you guys join, come hang with us – my account is: @christine_andrew

Happppppy New Year!  I know I am a little late on this post, but after taking a couple weeks off I am feeling totally refreshed and ready to get going full force into the new year!  I wanted to share some of my favorite items I have been loving already in 2019.  These are all items I have been using and loving to help keep me feeling organized, happy, uplifted and like my very best. We moved into our new house yesterday and I couldn’t be happier about it!

I shared this lip mask like a week ago on my insta stories – its seriously one of my new favorites!  Its a sleep mask for your lips, but I carry mine around with me all day and use it as chapstick.  I’m obsessed!

You probably saw last week I went to Napa with the amazing Lancome team and got to try out their new Absolue skin care line.  The new line is amazing!  I will be sharing a full blog post on my trip soon but had to include the line as one of my recent favorites.

I am still living in these Adidas UltraBoost tennis shoes. They are soooo comfy and I love all of the colors they come in!  I will definitely be wearing these to help with one of my resolutions to be more active!

This cozy blanket and cordless vacuum are for the new house! You can never have too many cozy blankets around the house 🙂 And after hearing so much about these cordless vacuums I finally ordered one and I can’t wait to see what all the hype is about!

You’ve seen me wearing this bag a few times now – its seriously the best!  I love that you can put your monogram on it and customize the size and color of it…its just all around the perfect size to use as a work bag for your laptop, notebook, etc or just as an everyday mom bag that holds all your stuff for running around.

Cody got me this planner for Christmas and it was the best gift!  Its so simple and functional and I love that I can break out my schedule hour by hour to help keep me on track. It comes in a bunch of colors!

One of my most asked about topics is definitely skin care and I am so excited to share more skin care related posts this year!  These sheet masks are 100% one of my favorite products that I am using lately. If you feel like you don’t have time for sheet masks…there’s always a way to make time!  I will wear them when I am getting stuff done around the house or even just blow drying my hair. Gotta multi task to get that beauty time in 🙂

I have been wearing this cozy cardigan so much recently and gotten a lot of questions about it so I wanted to share it asap! It is the same fabric they make their robes in so it feels like you’re literally wearing a robe, but its a cardigan so its cute and acceptable to wear out in public 😉

Baskets!!! One of my major goals for the new year is just to keep our new house looking new and keep it organized and as tidy as possible. With 3 kids and a dog this isn’t always easy – so one of my favorite tricks is to have a bunch of cute baskets like this around around the house to toss their toys and blankets in when we aren’t using them.

What’s inspiring you for this new year?!  Would love to hear your favorites!  Hope you all have been having a great 2019 so far!

Also!! I am soooo honored to be nominated for best family account for the LiketoKnow.it awards!  It would mean so much to me if you could take a quick minute to vote for our family!❤️ You can vote here 🙂

THANK YOU so much for your support over the years!! Love you all!

The post New Year Inspo – What I’m loving so far in 2019! appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Obsessed with my new shoes! They are so comfy and come in lots of cute colors.

Love the detail on this cropped sweatshirt and the cowl neck! Its on sale right now too, 30% off!

DETAILS: SHOES | PANTS | SWEATSHIRT

Hey hey hey! Hope you guys all had a good Christmas, our kids were wiped out with colds and fevers so it was a super mellow Christmas, poor kiddos. I haven’t posted a whole lot lately, been enjoying time off with the family, so I thought I would do a catch up post with what we have been up to lately.

1. We got C of O  on our new house!! There is still a lot of random details that need to be done, so we decided to wait until everything is 100% done to move in so we don’t have a bunch of contractors in and out once we move in. We talked to a lot of our friends and family who had moved in before it was totally done and said it’s really stressful so as anxious as I am we decided to wait 🙂 So it’s looking like mid January right now, which actually kind of works out good cause our couch comes around same time 🙂
2. We have been packing up our house and I am so thankful we got rid of so much stuff when we moved last time, but holy cow it’s crazy how easy it is to accumulate random junk. Both Cody and I really want to try and minimize our lives as much as possible when we move so we don’t have the clutter and junk.
3. I haven’t bought a ton of new clothes lately (been mostly getting new home decor stuff), but I did get some new work out clothes, because, well I just love comfy clothes. These sneakers I’m obsessed with, they come in lots of colors and they are probably my most comfortable shoe! I had them in two colors in the older styles and wore them out so I just got new ones a couple weeks ago. I also got this cute Adidas sweatshirt . I love the slouchy neck on it and it’s on major sale right now at Finish line (under $50)! They have so much cute Adidas stuff right now. I also ordered these pink Ultra boosts that are on sale.
4. Cody got me this really cool planner for Christmas, and it has you evaluate your day, week, and month in every aspect from personal, business, family, taking time for yourself, ect. I was listening to a podcast by the guy who wrote it and it was talking about how you are only effective for 50 minute periods. So he sets alarms on his phone to go off every 50 minutes when he’s working, to stand up walk around and take a quick break. Even if he is writing a book, and in the middle of a thought, he takes a break when the timer goes off.
5. I’ve been doing the celery juice challenge (drinking 16oz of celery juice every morning on an empty stomach) for a little over 2 weeks, I missed 2 or 3 days in there with the holidays,but I feel like it’s helped my skin a lot. Especially my eczema. I get little patches on my hand and leg during the winter because it’s so dry in Utah, and it completely cleared up with out any medicine or creams since I’ve been drinking celery juice. I also feel like it was just a good overall cleanse. I haven’t noticed a ton of other differences, they say it helps with brain fog, clarity, energy, and lots of other things. Maybe a little more clarity, but overall I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect I just feel a little more healthier drinking it 🙂

I’m all over the woven shoe trend and love the look and fit of these block ankle boots and also love these cute pom pom espadrilles (Under $100). Tennis shoes are something I wear almost every single day, whether it’s a pair that I can wear from the gym to running errands like these, or more fashion forward statement shoes that are easier to dress up, (so so obsessed with this pair!). I love cute feminine heels hence why I’m loving slingback kitten heels lately – how cute are these?!

Hey you guys! You probably already know by now but I love all things bright and pastel when it comes to athleisure. I just bought these sneakers and I absolutely love them! They are from the kids section but since they run big, most people will be able to fit in them still. I am normally a size 7.5-8 and the kids size 5 fits me perfectly.

This duffel bag is also perfect for the gym and on the go! I’m obsessed with the pattern and it’s under $100. I always love a good comfy sweatshirt to wear while running errands or to throw on before going to the gym and I’m dying over the color of this one! I also love this cropped one (and it’s under $40!). These toner wipes are awesome for right after the gym to keep you from breaking out.

How do you guys feel about the pastel trend this season?!

Hi from NYC! Cody is working as the brand ambassador for Westin (so proud of him!) so we are in NY for the next couple days for an event. Normally flying is a breeze and doesn’t phase me. Yesterday we were stuck on the tarmac for an hour and half before we took off because of weather in nyc. We were in the very last row with no window and I was getting major anxiety lol. Like claustrophobic feeling times 100. Usually Cody is the one who gets anxiety but it was totally me yesterday lol.

I got these sneakers earlier this week I’m obsessed with the colors. They are my new favorites and under $100! My other travel staple is a good baseball hat and I’m obsessed with this one. It’s felt so it’s a little different from anything else I own and I love the soft shade of grey, it goes with everything! Also this sweater I’m wearing here is super cozy and on sale under $25 (comes in three colors). More great travel style options below!

I’m so excited to share a few of our Easter designs with you guys! For me it’s all about the season leading up to Easter Sunday – getting excited for spring, the cherry blossoms, the sunshine – it all reminds me of Easter! So today I wanted to share a few casual outfits you can wear before Easter Sunday. This bunny sweatshirt was one of my favorite additions to our graphics line and I added these pink shorts for a pastel accent to read more spring.

DETAILS: OFF-THE-SHOULDER BELL SLEEVE TOP (UNDER $100) | DISTRESSED DENIM (UNDER $100) | WHITE CROSSBODY | PINK FUR POM

For a feminine but still casual Easter outfit option, add a pretty off-the-shoulder in a typical spring tone. I love the bell sleeve detail on this one that makes it a little more dramatic and perfect for a date night out.

DETAILS: SOME BUNNY TEE  (UNDER $100)| BLUSH DRAWSTRING SHORTS (UNDER $100) | GOLD CHOKER | AVIATORS

Pastels! You can never go wrong with monochromatic pastel tones for Easter. I’m obsessed with these drawstring shorts (under $100). They are the prettiest color and they pair perfectly with this ‘Some Bunny Loves You’ tee.

BECKAM: BUNNY TEE (ALSO COMES IN PINK ) | DENIM | WHITE SNEAKERS

One of the joys of being a mom is being able to have someone to twin with (at least until they are old enough to protest ;). I love these matching bunny face pieces (this kids comes in both grey and pink – also love this one 🙂 And is there any outfit more comfortable than a light sweatshirt and distressed boyfriend jeans? It’s perfect for hanging out at home or just running errands.

All orders placed by tomorrow for our Easter collection at ILY are being sent priority mail so you have before Easter 🙂 So hurry and order today! 🙂

Hey guys! We have been in California this week. We love Cali, it always feels like a second home! I got so many questions on this hoodie from my Snapchat. We are definitely a sportswear-obsessed family haha. I just got Beckam these little Adidas sneakers in two colors and I am obsessed with them!!

I always have to make time to shop when I’m traveling because Utah doesn’t have the hugest selection of stores, even department stores. I’m really excited for the brand new Macy’s opening next month! We already have a Macy’s but this one is supposed to be bigger with more departments! I found out that the MyStylist at Macy’s service will be available at the new location.  It’s a free personal shopper service that can pull all the pieces you are looking for before your appointment. It’s such a good idea, whether you need something for a special occasion, solid wardrobe staples, or even a gift if you are shopping for someone else. I tend to be a last minute shopper (no matter how far in advance I try to plan 😉 so even though I do a lot of my shopping online, I always end up going in-store in search of something I need last minute. So I’m excited to use the service!

Obsessed with these colorblocked blue pants (UNDER $100)! I like that they are high-waisted!

Cody has a hard time finding sweatpants for the gym that aren’t too hot. He loved this pair from Marks & Spencer – they are fitted and still stretchy and lightweight.

Brrrr. It’s been dumping so much snow in Utah lately! I just got a bunch of new workout stuff (all under $60). Love this vest for a versatile athleisure layer.

It’s officially 2017! The new year came so fast! New Year’s always leaves me really really excited! A chance for a new start, new goals, and time to reflect on what I’m thankful for from the previous year and what I want to improve moving forward. 2016 was probably one of my most exciting years yet! Cody and I set BIG goals starting last year, personal goals, travel goals, goals to grow the blog and ILY and almost every goal we set we hit. We worked our asses off, but at the end of the year honestly I felt so emotionally exhausted. We were putting in long hours, many all nighters, and at the end of the day it felt like I didn’t get to enjoy the journey because I was pushing so hard to hit those goals.

Reflecting back on last year, I’ve realized that a lot of times when you feel like you are overwhelmed, so much of it is mental – it all starts with a mindset. I let myself get overwhelmed with that feeling of being “so busy” that I didn’t just sit down and enjoy moments. A lot of times even when I was home my mind was constantly running and I was never able to shut anything off. I realized that if you are working hard and not balancing the rest of your life, life just becomes work and there’s no point to working hard when you aren’t taking time to enjoy it.

With that said, below are a couple of my New Year’s goals for this year. We are taking a different approach to things and working more on improving the little day to day things that affect everything else we do.

1. READ MORE. One of my big goals for this year is to read more. I’ve realized it’s easy for me to get distracted and overwhelmed mentally so I’ve been reading positive and inspiring books even just for 15 minutes a day to keep me on track. I just got a book that talks about being effective with your time and I’ve already taken so many parts to heart.
2. RELAX. Last year even when I would be relaxing, taking a bath at night, I’d be in the tub with my phone responding to emails, getting posts ready, etc. The book I’ve been reading talks about deliberately setting aside that time to relax, otherwise you never get a chance to recharge. So I’ve literally been turning my phone to silent and putting it in another room so I don’t get distracted and actually relax. Not only does learning to relax help you recharge but allows you to be more present in the moment.
3. BE PRESENT. I really debated sharing this, because it was probably one of my lowest “mom moments”, but I always strive to be honest with you guys, even in the hard times because life isn’t perfect. A few weeks ago I was on my phone finishing a deadline and B kept asking me to play tennis with him, I kept telling him to hold on I was almost done. After about 5 minutes of not being done, he started a major melt down crying, telling me to put my phone down, that I don’t pay attention to him. It was such a hard mom moment! It literally broke my heart. I threw my phone down and in tears gave him the biggest hug and just put everything else aside to be with him that afternoon. Sometime’s I forget how much they are really watching our every move. It is one of the hard parts of working from home, is that the kids see me working more but I realized this goes back to time blocking. Being effective with my time so when I am with them it’s quality time. I know I wasn’t present in many areas this last year, with my family, Cody, friends, etc. I don’t say that for you guys to build me up, I say that because I see it almost everywhere I go. We are all glued to our phones and it’s kind of sad in reality. I love what I do and am so grateful to be able to make a career out of something I’m passionate about, but no career is worth those bad mom moments so I’m making this year all about being more present.
4. TIME BLOCKING. This was actually something we started last month we are bringing into this year. It is crazy how fast the day flies by and how easy it is to get distracted. We all get a million notifications on our phone from emails, social media, texts, calls, etc. I’ll be the first to admit I am easily distracted haha. So Cody and I both have started blocking out our days to effectively get things done. Certain times for certain projects.Whatever doesn’t get done, we have to wake up early the next day and finish. We have carried it over to our employees as well and it’s crazy how much more effective you are if you just set a timer to get something done.
5. BEING ACTIVE. This is like a month to month thing for me, some months I’m really good at it and others I’m so bad. This book I’m reading cited all sorts of studies that show that even just 30 minutes of activity, 3 days a week positively affects almost every aspect of your life: health, happiness, love life – everything! It’s so easy to stay cuddled up inside, especially in the dead of winter, but with your New Year’s goals just getting started it’s the best time to start those habits and carve out at least 30 minutes 3 times a week to be active, whether it’s going to the gym, walking, or trying yoga or spin class.

Ok, sorry for the novel! I’ve spent so much time reflecting on last year and what I want for this year and it’s so helpful to put it into words – I swear writing it out makes it seem that much more attainable. What are some of your goals for the year?

This was the year of travel! It was our New Year’s resolution this year to see more and experience more as a family and we did it! Now I’m just as excited to be home and enjoying the Holidays in my cozy sweats with a nice cup of hot chocolate. We still have a couple weekend getaways this month, and it seems like with the Holidays everyone is traveling! I wanted to share some of my travel style essentials:

1. Layers – You rarely get to control the A/C or heat while you are traveling with others, whether it’s the plane or a road-trip, so layers are the best way to travel. I swear I’m always all over the board – it goes from freezing to hot and stuffy in just a matter of minutes, especially on planes. I always bring a cozy sweatshirt that’s easy to throw around my waist when I get too warm.
2. Good  Shoes – I have limited luggage space as it is, but especially during this season I’m packing lots of layers and bulky jackets for both me and the kids. So when it comes to travel shoes, I always try to pick something that works for the plane/car ride and my destination once I arrive so I can make the most of the shoes I’m packing. I love this SOREL pair (also obsessed with this curry color – how cute are the laces! and this white one!!). The black is a classic style that you can wear with anything and they have a sneaker effect that makes them so comfortable so I can keep up with B while he’s running around the airport. 😉
3. Cute travel luggage – Packing (and unpacking now that I think of it) is such a headache, and I know it’s silly but pretty luggage really does make a difference! It makes packing just a little bit less painful so you can start your trip on the right foot.

What are some of your destinations this season? I’m always looking for new spots to add to my bucket list. You can find more great boot options for traveling below.

If you are starting to think joggers are giving my denim collection a run for it’s money, you are right haha. Something happens to me in the winter and I just want to be in cozy clothes all the time! I love having pieces that can go from the sofa to the street ;). I’ve been wearing these grey joggers on repeat! Add a few accessories like a knit beanie or a chunky scarf pull your cozy look together to make it perfect for running errands.

Cody and I have started doing weekly Facebook Live’s on Sunday night. If you missed them, you can see yesterday’s here. We talked about 7 things you need to do this Holiday season!
