Dreaming of Fall

Happy Wednesday, Friends!

By this point in the Summer, I’m pretty much dreaming of Fall, every.single.day. I’m almost the reverse of many, and I hibernate during these hot, hot months. I love to be outside, but I really don’t like to sweat unless I’m actually in workout clothes & working out. Anyway, as you can tell from this post that I’m already mentally changing my closet to Fall, even if the temperatures outside don’t match. Only 30 days to go!

Here’s what I’m dreaming of adding to my closet this Fall!

Happy Shopping!

Trouve Wrap Blouse

This top is beautiful & feminine, and can be worn so many ways. Makes a great date night top!

WAYF Beckett Tiered Bell Sleeve Top

Love this gingham top, the sleeves, the bow, everything. It comes in a few other prints, too.

J.Crew Ruffle Stripe Shirt

Stripes & ruffles, pretty much the best combo ever.

Halogen Tie Sleeve Sweater

This sweater will end up in my closet and be worn on repeat all season long.

Halogen Long Linen Blend Cardigan

You can layer so many tops with this classic cardigan. This cardigan comes in tons of colors, & I really like the longer length for something different.

Free People Ottoman Tunic

This tunic looks so cozy on a cold winters night!

Gibson Twist Front Fleece Pullover

A thinner fleece is all I need to throw on over a workout tank top. It comes in TONS of colors, too.

PAIGE Verdugo Ankle Skinny Jeans

White denim is my favorite pair of pants to wear during the Fall/Winter months. This pair is next up on the wish list to add to my collection.

PAIGE High Waist Undone Hem Denim

I bought these pants during the sale, and they’re literally the best high wait jeans I’ve ever owned. Totally flattering, and I love the undone hem! These have been on major repeat!

Belle Badgley Mischka Holly Coat

Just another day, and another coat that I’ve fallen madly in love with…

Tory Burch Gigi Block Heel Pumps

Hello Gorgeous! So classic, so chic.

Kate Spade New York Cece Loafer

Kate Spade never disappoints (ever!), and especially with these leopard loafers. You’ll wear them for years.

Sam Edelman Faux Fur Pompom flats

A fabulous pair of neutral flats for Fall. Need I say more?

Valentino Rockstud Ballerina Flats

Love, love, love! Maybe this year they’ll end up in my closet, maybe.

J.Crew Slingback Flats

Another perfect neutral flat, as a busy Mom of two, they’re a dream come true.

BP. Cat Eye Sunglasses

$12.00 cat eye sunglasses, perfect style & price.

UGG Slippers

I love a great slipper in the colder months, these look so warm & comfy!

Burberry Small Canter Horseferry Check Tote

The “It’ll go with everything I wear” bag.

David Yurman Small Pearl Earrings

I’m a pearl girl, and these are so dainty & dreamy to me.

BaubleBar Shoulder Duster Earrings

Love this new style! So dramatic and fun for a night out!

Kate Spade Stud Earrings

Classic stud earrings are my everyday “go-to earrings,” and these will match everything. Added bonus, they’ll brighten up a dreary winters day!

Are you ready for Summer to come to an end? If so, what are you dreaming about for Fall?

Have a happy day!

The temperatures are hot here. I mean they’re so hot, they make you want to stay inside all day. I literally step outside to recycle something, and it makes me cringe. And, I LOVE being outside. Here’s a little known secret about me, I am not a fan of heat or hot temperatures, which ultimately means I’m not a fan of Summers in the South. I was born and raised in the South, and I love the South, but who wants to get all dressed up to then walk outside and sweat immediately? I know I don’t. It is only bearable if I can be beside a pool all day, everyday, but that’s about it. Since that’s not been my reality since I was a teenager lifeguarding, I have to deal. And, by July I am dreaming of Fall. Who’s with me? Don’t get me wrong, I am not a negative person at all, but I don’t know anyone who says “Oh, I love the heat and sweating all of the time.” Said no one, ever.

So, here are a few things getting me through this heat wave! What do you do to escape the heat?

Playroom

Over the July 4th weekend my sweet husband actually painted our little one’s playroom. We’ve been wanting to create this space for quite awhile now, and now we have one. It’s the perfect place for us to play when it’s too hot outside. This space is going to be loved by our children for many years to come, I just know it.

Workout Outfits

When the temperatures get into the triple digits and you’re chasing a little one around, workout outfits are a go-to. I haven’t given up when it comes to fashion, I just don’t care to ruin my clothes by 10am with nothing but sweat. I know it sounds gross, but I love workout gear even more now that I’m a SAHM.

La Croix Orange

I’ve never been good at drinking a lot of water each day. I know it’s bad, but I have found I drink more water with these orange La Croix sparkling waters. Target always is running specials on them, so I stock up.

Early Mornings

If you have a little one, you know the days of “sleeping in” are over. So, I try to take our walks in the mornings and run errands early in the mornings before the heat really moves in.

InStyle Magazine

My first Fall issue of InStyle came in the mail this week, which also means the Fall catalogs from all of my favorite places to shop will soon be coming in the mail too. There’s hope afterall!

So, while I can’t quite wear my pretty coats like the one above just yet, I’m quite excited about planning Fall outfit posts for the blog, and I am dreaming of the first “crisp” Fall day. Until then, I have plenty of fun posts ahead, but I’ll be the first to admit I’m most excited about the ones this Fall.

What’s your favorite season?
