How to Make an Outdoor Movie Theater

How to Make an Outdoor Movie Theater

Mitch here!

Grab your popcorn, pour a soda, silence your cell phones and put your feet up… because we did it! The outdoor movie theater is finally a reality and I didn’t even break anything while putting it all together. Kill the string lights because outdoor movie nights, here we come.

How to Style a Fleece Jacket

How to Style a Fleece Jacket

The famous fleece jacket that sells out each year is on sale right now for $34.99 with the code “BIGFUNSALE” (it’s usually $158!) It’s oversized, so if you want a more fitted look go down at least one, if not two, sizes. If you plan on wearing it with chunkier sweaters, you should be good just going down one size. I highly recommend it; it’s such a great staple. Here’s how to style a fleece jacket three ways.

Fall Hosting with Birch Lane

Fall Hosting with Birch Lane

My mother-in-law is an absolute saint and is hosting Thanksgiving this year. 🍁 (Thank you, Lisa!) But we are, however, having friends over to our home in Chicago beforehand. :) All our friends have small children, and therefore it’s going to be very casual—and in the kitchen, so we contain the potential disaster. (Who am I kidding? It’s an inescapable reality no matter where we host in the house. 😆 But kitchen it is!)

These are my October favorites.

What is Sling TV?

What is Sling TV?

Mitch here!

I’m a simple guy with simple tastes. And like most guys, those tastes involve watching copious amounts of television whenever possible. But TV is confusing now, and it hardly seems worth it with all the streaming packages, over-the-air-vs.-cable, multiple device connectivity, bandwidth breaker-breaker-one-nine nonsense. That is until I found Sling TV and simplified the whole ordeal.

Gucci Brixton Loafer Review (& Alternatives)

Gucci Brixton Loafer Review

Original outfit post here.

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.
