Outerwear selections are insane this time of year. Don't get me wrong, I love a pretty dress coat (this pink one is my favorite), but you also need a good basic, neutral jacket that you can wear with anything. I got this quilted black puffer a couple weeks and it's been the perfect light weight layer as we run around on the weekends.  I think people automatically assume quilter or puffer jackets make you look puffy, but it's actually the opposite. Flat stitching and quilting on a smaller scale will actually make a piece more form fitting and feminine (stay away from larger puffs and oversized coats to keep it sleek) A quilted jacket’s versatility allows it to go from sporty to chic at the flip of a switch, like switching sneakers for heels. The quilted texture keeps things interesting, so keep other textures understated to let the quilted feature be the star of the show.

Below are a few more casual weekend pieces I'm loving this season. Monday I will be launching my new site! So excited to share with you guys!

Sneakers and Plaid

DETAILS.

ACCESSORIES.
Black and Gold Boyfriend Watch // Pave Bar Ring //  Gold Ring

Beauty isn’t always pain! And aren’t the very best fashion trends the ones that condone comfort? Lucky for us, the sneaker has undergone a makeover taking it from treadmill to trendy. Now a classic sneaker can be paired with almost any outfit, no matter how dressy, by adding a relaxed but sophisticated feel to the look.  I picked up this pair because I have a little obsession with plaid this season and the colors correlate perfectly.  

Below are a few more great sneaker options to fit your style:

Leather Studded Camouflage

996 New Balance Suede Nylon Sneakers

Navy New Balance Suede Mesh Sneakers

Beige Bekett Suede Wedge Sneakers

Neutral Rockstud Leather Sneakers

Houndstooth Ponyskin Slip On Sneakers

Pink Quilted Leather Sneakers

Gold and Black Metallic Leather Sneakers

Black and Gold Velvet And Patent Leather Sneakers

Hope you all had a fun weekend! Tomorrow I will be sharing some of my pictures from Paris.

BECKAM'S OUTFIT.

Stroller // White Onesie // Grey Jeans // Black Leather Shoes 

The best part of weekends is the lax dress code. With no pressure to dress for any special occasion, I usually opt for oversized shirts, workout pants (these are my favorite), and comfortable shoes. I like to balance neutral black and white with a few pops of neon, which made this jacket an obvious choice, especially with the seasons starting to change. I usually get my other pops of color from a cute neon sports bras. They have a great collection here. Almost all our their bras are under $15, most are in the $8-$10 range. I like them because a lot of times they do unique cut outs with the straps or mix colors to make them more unique. I have this one (love the back detailing), this one, and this one. Somehow this laid back daytime combo leaves me feeling put together yet comfortable for family walks or last minute errands.

These Nike's are one of Cody's favorite shoes. The nice thing about the Nike Internationalist sneakers is they can be worn with a workout outfit or paired with jeans or dress shorts. A great universal shoe for the man in your life.

Beckam has really become my little shadow. I love taking him everywhere with me, it's like having a mini best friend. Maybe it's because I was an only child and always wanted the constant companion, but I can't get enough :) Saturday mornings are errand days, typically we are running to the mall, grocery shopping, or getting the car cleaned out. My uniform is always comfy shorts (distressed denim or workout), sneakers, and oversized tee (this one on repeat). 90% of the time I roll no make-up and I swear it's always the times I run into people I know. Do you guys have that? The days you don't get ready you see everyone you know :) 

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public today! Time to stock up for fall! Below are a few of my picks. I will be sharing more next week. Also my grey and neon Nikes I wear all the time (here and here) are now on sale for under $60! I just got the red pair too. They are the best! They also have them in Men's so I got Cody these sale ones.

Neon Weekend Shorts

OUTFIT DETAILS.

Mami Shirt// Neon Shorts (under $15) // Neon Nikes (color grey/green/mango - also worn in this post)// H&M Sunglasses// Rebecca Minkoff Mini Tote// ILY Ring // MAC Lipstick

These neon shorts have been on repeat at least two-three days a week at my house lately. I got them a couple months ago before we went to Disneyland. I was so in love with them I ordered three more pairs (pink, black, and yellow). I love when you find a good staple item at a good price and just stock up. I always worry I won't be able to find something like it again so I like to get multiple colors :) Do you guys do that too? I also just ordered these cute sweatpant shorts. I love the cuff roll on them, so bummed the neon yellow ones are sold out.

A couple of you emailed asking for a direct link to these Nike's last time I wore them. The link above is the right link, but if you are viewing them from your cell phone, Nordstrom mobile site makes you choose the size before it shows the color option. So click on your size and then the color options will appear below. The color I have is grey/green/mango. Hope that helps :)

Tartan Red

Target Tee / Leather Trim Cardigan / Plaid Scarf (on sale! also loving this) / Leggings / Hunter Boots / Calf Hair Satchel

Hey hey! Hope you all had a great weekend! Today's look is really what has become my everyday look: leggings, an oversized sweater, boots, and a scarf. I love the print of this plaid scarf,  it's a simple splash of pattern to a basic outfit.

I know I mentioned it last year, but these are actually kid's hunter boots. I have small calves so sometime's the regular hunter's look bulky on my legs while the girls ones fit a little slimmer. Also they are about about half the price so you can save a little money. I wear a 7.5/8 in women's shoes, so I get a 5 in the girl's hunter boots. They have a lot of color options that aren't available in women's, like these,  so it gives you extra options if your looking for a specific color.

Last but not least, I have been working on a new design for my blog. I'm so excited to share it with you! It's been a work in progress but I am in the midst of moving off Blogger onto WordPress. So all of you that follow on blogger won't see my blog anymore. Please make sure and follow along on Bloglovin' and Facebook so you can still get the updates everyday when I post :) I'm hoping to have the new design live next week sometime so stay tuned!

XOX,
Christine
