Hello there! I've been MIA lately, I know, I'm sorry. I had a little post-holiday productivity slump, and the weather and my schedule were not cooperating to get any images taken. We needed the rain, but it makes shooting outside a bit difficult. But now I'm back!
Read MoreOk, so who went and saw the new Star Wars this weekend? I confess that my husband and I did, and have had our tickets since they first went on sale weeks ago. I personally could have waited, but the one thing my husband is geeky about is Star Wars, and he was literally like a kid at Christmas time all last week counting down. We were almost derailed on our Star Wars viewing journey in that I got sick the night before we were supposed to go, but I was feeling better the next day and we made it to our showing. Usually my husband love the trailers before movies, but he said for the first time ever they couldn't end fast enough, LOL. He was cute.

This morning it was legitimately chilly. According to Snapchat (which is so accurate and reliable ;) ) it was in the 60s. Which, no, is not COLD, but definitely chilly. You don't want to just be hanging out in a T-shirt when its 62. Well, I don't, anyway. My son hasn't had to wear long sleeves in any form for many months, like at least 6 months (maybe longer), and when you're not even 2 yet, even just one month feels like eternity. He probably has no memory of wearing sleeves. So he's not a fan of his sweatshirt long sleeves. I got him to wear in during the dog walk (the sun is up so late now, the sky was barely glowing so he needed his sweatshirt. If Mommy is cold, baby is cold. That's how it works.) But as soon as we were back up, "Mommy, off."
Maybe some day he'll be a fan of the cooling temps and the cozy layering it allows. Like this coat that is a new favorite of mine. Basic colors but in a catchy pattern, wool but not heavy, and pockets! It's oversize and boxy, but looks great on with skinny jeans. (And for length reference, I'm 5'11", and I'm wearing a Small.) I could also imagine it with a LBD, or even an LGD.
The shirt is super soft, light weight flannel. So cozy (and on sale for $18!) It's a little oversize as well, its boyfriend fit, and I loved it.
My booties are from last season (similar here), but there are so many great booties out there right now, you have so many options (some more faves of mine: pointed toe, buckles and fringe.)
And BTW, this is the best little bag for less than $10! Leather look, it fits my wallet, my iPhone 6Plus, a couple lip products and my keys. Great for a quick errand or a night out.
