Autumn

It's Autumn y'all. Well, it won't feel like Autumn here in Houston for a while, but we can dream right? Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor day and enjoys time with your family. I've been getting inspired for Autumn. Boots, scarves, candles... you know the drill. Today's post is full of all of the beautiful things that have me inspired and ready for Autumn.

Weekend Recap in Photos

I love the weekends. It means I get to spend lots of uninterrupted time with my family. This weekend was extra special.  Darren went on a deep-sea fishing trip on Saturday which meant a whole day with my girl.  Macelyn helped clean her room which earned her some "points" (coins) for her piggy bank.  After all of our chores were finished we went out to find some adventures. We met up with Gram and my nephew for some bowling.  The Texas August heat called for snow cones, which was our next stop.  Macelyn ordered a bubble gum snow cone which turned out to be BRIGHT blue, not light pink like I assumed it would be.  She was immediately stripped of her shirt so as not to turn it blue.  My husband later informed me that bubble gum snow cones are usually blue.... still seems weird to me. Her little tummy had blue lines running down it. Haha so cute.
We worshipped together at church on Sunday morning, then enjoyed a wonderful home cooked lunch with some friends.  (I should use my crock-pot more often. haha) Sunday afternoon called for a nap with Daddy and a visit to the park.
I love our weekends together.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed week.

August Stitch Fix

I received my August Stitch Fix last week.
This time I kept 3 of the 5 items. One dress, and two tops.
I returned a top and a bracelet. The top was orange, and I didn't love the color with my skin and hair color.  I really liked the bracelet that came, but it was just a little more than I like to spend on my jewelry ($88).  I was able to tell them all of that in my check-out survey, so next time they won't send me anything that color or that price-point.
I love Stitch Fix! This is my 6th or 7th fix, and although I haven't kept every single one, I usually keep 1 to 3 items from each fix.  Each fix gets better as you continue to fill out the survey about the fix. They learn what you love or don't love. I definitely recommend this to anyone... and especially those busy moms or young ladies who don't have a lot of time to shop or you don't really love shopping. (i.e. ME) I love clothes and fashion, but I hate the process of shopping and looking for outfits. Sometimes I wish outfits would magically appear as I see them in my head. So Stitch Fix is perfect for me.

Another great feature are the style cards.  Stitch Fix includes a style card for each item in your fix.  These style cards show you two different ways to style the piece.
Each stylist includes a personal note, such a cute detail.

Here are the latest pieces I received.

Dress: Under Skies - Roseanna Hi-Lo Abstract Print Dress (Navy) | Top: Marshall's
Such a fun dress for summer. I think it will also be a great fall piece with a sweater or jacket and boots.

Top: Renee C - Ivanka Crew Neck Lace Detail Blouse | Jeans: Gap  

I love the detail on this blouse. It is a great summer piece and will also look great under my leather jacket with boots this fall.

Top: Daniel Rainn - Tara Abstract Print Roll Tab Blouse | Jeans: Gap

This was my favorite in this fix. I love flowy tops. They are great with a pencil skirt for work and then make a great casual comfy piece when paired with your favorite jeans.

Macelyn Grayce Rose

Our sweet girl went to stay with my parents for 2 weeks.  This is the longest she has been away.  She usually goes every summer for a week.  We are now a week and a half into her stay and I am READY for her to get home.  She is having a blast.  Getting spoiled by her aunts and uncles and of course her Bea and Poppy.  While she is gone we are converting her room into a "big-girl" room.  We've replaced her toddler bed with a full-size bed, got pretty new bedding for her bed, added a big bookshelf and will organize all her toys.  I will do another post with pictures once we have it finished.  I can't wait for her to get home and see her new room.  Also so I can hug her for 2 days straight. I've missed my silly little girl. 

*as of today's date, she is obsessed with purses and lipgloss*

Bearded.

I love my husband's beard. He usually keeps it year round because I love it so much. I discovered a website this week called The Bearded. It inspired me to capture my husband's awesome beard. Just for fun of course.
