Fall Amazon Try-On Haul

You guys are still going crazy over my last Amazon haul that I shared on here in Spring! This white sweater has been a consisted top seller basically since I shared that post, which is great because it is one of my favorites too! Now that it’s cooling down I’m getting even more wear out of it.

Amazon Spring Try-On Haul

I shared this most recent try on in my Instagram stories (saved to the highlight named “Amazon”) a couple weeks ago, but I figured it would be a good idea to put it up on the blog as well, since I want you all to be able to reference everything that I share and love in one place! This try-on was much smaller than my Spring one, but I’ve been trying to balance my budget between shopping for clothes and remodeling our kitchen/home decor stuff. Call me naive, but I underestimated the amount of “stuff” I would need that I didn’t need as an apartment dweller, I can’t just call my concierge to come and replace my light bulb, and let’s not even talk about how much I’ve bought to maintain our yard. Yikes!

ANYWHO - the thing I love about this fall haul is that I really put a lot of thought into each piece before I pulled the trigger. It is definitely less items but I love each piece so much and have been wearing them so much over the past month! I know they will be great all season long. Plus, this gives me room to do a couple more small-ish Amazon hauls before fall is over, right?! ;)

Cream Fringe Sweater

This sweater is so boho, it gives off a major Free People vibe for a fraction of the cost! I shared more photos and details about it in this post here, but overall I’d say get your true size or size up if you have broad shoulders like me! The sleeves are a tad short, but nothing I can’t work with!

Bell Sleeve Sweater

I had such high hopes for this sweater and I’ve continued to try to make it work because the quality of this piece is just beyond amazing! It is so thick and soft, the silhouette is interesting too and overall, I am just way too broad to fit this. I even sized up and the sleeves are way too short. If you are petite, this would be a great option for you! The sleeves bell out at the ends and it is perfect for fall.

Off Shoulder Polka Dot Top

I’m going to buy this top in every color. I love it SO much! Not only does it have such great details, it is affordable and comfortable, and comes in a bunch of other colors! See more details and photos in this blog post here. The one thing I didn’t realize when I bought it was that the back is sheer, but the front is lined and opaque so I can get away with no bra, but if you want to wear one, make sure it’s something that you don’t mind people seeing through the back of the shirt!

Color Block Cardigan

This sweater is so fun and looks like a Madewell brand cardigan I’ve had my eye on for some time! It fits a little small through the body so I suggest sizing up. I’m wearing a medium here and I wish I had gotten a large, although the sleeves are plenty long!

Leopard Cardigan

This cardigan is definitely one of my favorite Amazon fashion finds EVER! The quality is amazing, reminds me of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale leopard cardi that sold out super fast! It’s thick and cozy and I love that it’s a little different than regular brown leopard print. The black and white pattern is so chic! Get your true size, runs a tiny bit big!

Thanks for checking out this Fall Amazon haul! I have lot’s of items in my cart ready to go for my next try-on sesh, make sure you’re following along on Instagram so you never miss an update!

The Perfect Lace Kimono Outfit

Today Dustin and I got to enjoy a few blissful kid-free hours to run all over town doing boring grown-up stuff like going to the post office, picking up toilet paper from Costco and finally getting some returns done that had been sitting in the car for a week. It felt nice to be able to speed through our errands, but I sure missed my little Stella bean! It’s funny how even a few hours apart can be so hard, but when you spend 24/7 with your little munchkin it’s hard to be away even for a little while!

Check out my post on Mom Guilt

I wore this SUPER cute lace kimono c/o Chic Wish, it is such a versatile piece and I can’t wait for it to warm up so I can use it as a swim cover-up or paired with some denim shorts! Chic Wish just got in a ton of super cute summer items like this dress you saw me wear on our Salishan trip on the coast, and this flowy tunic that is everyone’s favorite top! I’ll link some more of my personal favorite Chic Wish pieces at the end of this post!

A Spring Haul and Try-On With Nordstrom!

I went to Nordstrom recently and stocked up on some cute goodies for Spring the other day, I was in desperate need of tops and I also was looking to add some color and variety into my very neutral, very basics-heavy wardrobe. There were so many fun pieces to choose from in their trend shop and I’m so excited to share how they look, fit, and their prices with you! Can you tell I’m loving a good wrap blouse these days? I can’t resist, they’re just so comfortable and flattering!

Bag $42

This bag was the first item I picked up. If you know me well, you know I love a fun statement piece and what better way to make a statement than with your handbag? This one is vegan leather, under $50 and has a cross-body strap so you can wear it hands free! The canvas insert is removable if you want to change up the look of the bag (might lose a lipgloss or two through those holes though lol).

Top $49

Every time I see a good leopard print piece I have to give it a chance! This top has so many elements that I LOVE. It has a draped or wrap-front, with a collar and buttons. Yes to ALL OF THIS! Plus the print is good, sometimes leopard print can look tacky or overdone and I could totally see this worn in an office setting with trousers like these or even a pencil skirt. so cute! I normally would have gotten a large in a top like this but medium was all that was available in my store, although the sleeves are a touch short on me it still fits well everywhere else, so if you aren’t super broad shouldered (like I am), I’d stick with your regular size. The material is polyester and a tiny bit of spandex but it really doesn’t have much stretch at all.

Top $29

This top was tricky to photograph but it is my favorite piece that I picked up! It comes in four colors and is affordable, comfortable, versatile and best of all, cute! It is longer in the back than most other tops of it’s style so you can feel secure wearing it with leggings. I tied mine tighter than they had it in the store, but you can loosen up the knot for a more slouchy feel. If you’re between sizes definitely size down, I got a medium which is my true size and it fits well when I tighten the knot, but I could have gotten away with a small if necessary. It is the softest material too… it is part polyester but the magic ingredient is the viscose that gives the fabric a soft and stretchy feel!

Top $49

Another wrap top! This one is so different to me, but I was drawn to the color and although I don’t have a ton of polka dot pieces I’m obsessed with them! This top is SO flattering with the tie being right at the small part of your waist. It is cropped so unless you like to show some skin, high waisted jeans like these pictured are necessary. You can see that the sleeves are a tiny bit short on me, and I’m sure it’s because I am so broad shouldered and long-armed. I sized up to a large for arm length and torso length but it is a tiny bit baggy through the middle (I just tied it tighter, and it looks just fine). I’d say shoot for your true size unless you are super long like I am! The fabric is rayon and has zero stretch, but it is flowy enough that there is plenty room to move!

I am still waiting on my red tank top and my tan sandals to arrive in the mail but I will certainly update this post when they come in!

Thanks for reading!

Trending Now - Leopard Print!

My Outfit: // Cardigan // Cami // Jeans // Booties // Hat // Necklace // Lipstick (Color “Velvet Teddy”) //

Happy Wednesday! You guys better be ready for a busy, fun filled few days. I’m already tired thinking about my packed schedule, but I’m also excited for the events planned! Keep up with me via Instagram stories if you want to follow along with the craziness!

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch this past weekend I couldn’t wait to share these photos with you all! I didn’t want to overload my Instagram with pumpkins so I figured I’d share them on here in case anyone wanted to see the ones’s that didn’t make the cut on my feed. Believe it or not the group picture was taken with a camera propped up on a pile of pumpkins in a wheelbarrow and it took a better picture than the two strangers we asked to help us prior! It’s not easy using a DSLR if you don’t know how, so I don’t blame them. Thank goodness we had a wheelbarrow photographer to fall back on!

I got this super cute, SUPER affordable leopard print cardigan to wear to the pumpkin patch and it really spurred my need for more leopard print items. I’ve been doing a lot of shopping lately (as usual) and it’s no secret that leopard print is trending this fall so I have found tons of cute pieces I wanted to share with you guys many of which are in my cart, I’m just trying to narrow it down so I don’t have a wardrobe full of leopard haha! Keep scrolling for all of my leopard print favorites.
