Fall Favorites: My top 10 fall necessities for 2015!


The fall transition has arrived! yay! the only bummer, SoCal Fall is like a notch below summer. It's still freakin' warm all the time! ugh! Luckily, this fall's trends are wearable no matter where you live! yay!

So, for this post I've rounded up my top 10 fall favorites! As I collect them, I will do outfit of the day posts! So, stay tuned for that!  

1. Bomber Jackets 
 This is a super trendy and stylish layering piece that can bring some edge to your look!

2. Carli Bybel/ bh cosmetics eyeshadow and highlight pallete
I have been dabbling more and more with make up and beauty and I fell in LOVE with this pallate! 
AND it's super affordable! only 12.50! Here's the bummer, because Carli Bybel is so loved and well followed, (over a million followers on IG!) this pallete sold out in hours and is now on back order! 

3. Draped Open-front Cardigans
I am IN LOVE with these! I want one in every neutral color! So simple and chic! Can be easily worn with a bodycon dress, skirt and tank, or jeans and a tee! So versatile!

4. Sleeveless Vests 
I love the color of the one pictured! These are another amazing layering piece! This will quickly add style to your look! 

5. Graphic Tees
Graphic tees have always been a favorite of mine. So easy. Dress it up with a statement necklace and some pumps and you have a quick, stylish outfit!

6. Parklane Jewelry Velocity Ring
The ring speaks for itself! Stylish rings are IN right now! Don't forget the mani!

7. Over the Knee boots
Boots are a fall stable. It's officially fall when you're breaking the boots out! And who doesn't love a good over the knee boot? come on. 

8. Parklane Jewelry Turn it Up Necklace
Layering necklaces is so in! I'm loving this trend! So young and hip! 

9. Parklane Jewelry Velocity Bracelet
Because what's a great ring without the matching bracelet? 

10. Parklane Jewelry Virtue Ring
This ring is one of my favorites! You can wear it as one or you can split it into 3 different rings to add more style to your fingers!

Hope you enjoyed my fall favorites list! I can't wait to style looks for you all to see!
ciao!

Why I've been MIA... Newborn Hazing!


Whew! It has definitely been awhile since my last blog post and here's why! :) 

I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy on August 15, 2015 at 9:47 pm by way of VBAC
(insert jaw drop face here)

SO! As we know from my last post, I was prepared (call me crazy but I was excited too) to have another c-section! Well, the Doctor (not my primary) talked me into trying Vaginal Birth After C-section and I did it! whhhaaaaaattt?! So crazy! 

I was in labor beginning the 14th of August around noon and what was I doing? looking for a new house! AND my hospital bag wasn't even packed! I was house hunting, visiting a family member in the hospital and running errands while having contractions! I know, I'm pretty much insane but I'm so last minute and beyond impatient and the last thing I wanted was to be in a hospital waiting for them to check me in or send me home (which the 1st hospital did do - annoying). 

So, after doing all that, packing my bag, going to the hospital I had my daughter at just to get turned away, I went to another hospital and checked in around 11:00 am on Saturday the 15th. The doctor in triage talked me into trying for VBAC and 10 1/2 hours later, my baby boy was born! 

Recovery has been a breeze! I have to remember I'm still recovering from child birth and force myself to rest and relax. My son is healthy and getting chunkier by the day thanks to mommas milk! (i love breastfeeding)  We found and moved in to a new home over labor day weekend, so it's been a pretty hectic time for me but I am so happy and blessed overall! I do occasionally get the baby blues and have my emotional/overwhelming days because dealing with a newborn and a toddler is A HOT MESS! But hey! I'm a mom! I'm sure EVERY mom has those days regardless of the children's ages!

So, if any of you have been wondering where me and my blog posts have been, this is why we've been MIA! :)
