Mitch surprised me with the Gucci Brixton loafers. Eeeee! (Thank you, Love.) To be completely transparent, though, we had a leftover gift card from a collaboration that covered most of the purchase. And if I didn’t have this blog, the loafers likely wouldn’t be in my closet. That isn’t to say that they’re not utterly AMAZING. (It’s true. They are, for the reasons I outline below.) But their price tag is, admittedly, a little jaw-dropping.

This Week’s Amazon Faves
I have some great Amazon finds this week, many of which are on sale! My idea is to do this regularly, and put them in their own folder in my Amazon Storefront. Here’s what I’m loving right now:
Go-To Fall Outfit: Sweater Blazer, Stripes + Demi-Boot Jeans
J.Crew Sweater Blazer (Runs large! Size down. This one is very similar.) / Madewell Cali Demi-Boot Jeans (J.Crew carries them too! Love this pair.) / Striped Tee / Unstructured Ballet Flats (SO comfy. Favorite ballet flats ever. I go a half size down.) / Newer Version of an Old Tote, Similar Here and Here / Sunglasses
Mitch and I took the girls to dinner last week when we were in the Wrigley neighborhood. Getting to other neighborhoods with little kids requires more planning and effort, but it’s always worth it. We sat outside Wrigley Field and took in the excitement, and also talked about how bummed we are that we never managed to get to a Cubs game this season, haha. Busy summer. Better luck next year! ;)
3 Fall Workwear Outfits
Here are three versatile fall workwear outfits built from fall closet staples like sweaters, dress pants, skirts, boots, and loafers.
J.Crew Outerwear Sale: Up to 50% Off
WOW. The first day of fall in Chicago was certainly autumnal! The temps dropped and all of a sudden, we were in coats and jackets—Noodle included. Today J.Crew outerwear is marked down significantly, with my favorites all between 25 and 50 percent off.
Here’s what to buy and why:
Flannel Amazon Dress
Amazon Flannel Shirt Dress / J.Crew Quilted Lightweight Lady Jacket (50 percent off today! Try this longer style, too.) / Unstructured Ballet Flats (SO comfy. Favorite ballet flats ever. I go a half size down.) / Newer Version of an Old Tote, Similar Here and Here / Sunglasses / Noodle’s Leather Leash
I have a new Amazon dress for you today!
Neutral Target Fall Home Decor
Woven Pumpkin / Beige Corduroy Square Throw Pillow / Woven Windowpane Square Throw Pillow / Faux Wreath / Round Brass Tray / White Stoneware Pumpkin Jar / Black Wire Storage Basket / Metal & Glass Trinket Box / Abstract Framed Canvas / Table Lamp / Linen Bench with Bolster Pillows / Runner Rug / Faux Ceramic Pot Arrangement / Woven Serving Tray / Round Wood Accent Table
Last month I rounded up a few of my favorite Target Fall Home Decor pieces, and seeing as today is the first official day of fall, I thought I’d share some more Target home decor finds. This time though, I stuck to mostly neutrals. It’s what I gravitate towards typically, and it also means that all of these home decor pieces can stay out for more than just a single season. Well, everything except the neutral pumpkins.
$35 Ruffled Stripe Amazon Dress
Amazon Dress (On sale for $35 today! Available in several other colors and styles, too!) / Sneakers / Naghedi St. Barth’s Crossbody Bag (Large tote version here.) / Sunglasses
I got a car!
