bean boots giveaway

Navy Bean Boots (Favorite pair, though, is the shearling-lined boots. In my experience, they’re the warmest! The plaid flannel-lined boots are a close second; I’d recommend these for fall and the shearling-lined ones for winter! /Barbour Beadnell Jacket (LOVE the quilted one, though. SO WARM!) / Fisherman Tunic (Also consider the original.) / Camp Socks (Love L.L.Bean’s version, too.) / Hudson Jeans (They’re on Amazon as well.)

Today’s been a DAY. First, it’s Mitch’s birthday. (Happy birthday, Mitch! Your girls love you so much.) But we also had the usual school drop-off routine, a bunch of deadlines (that we actually met!) and a doctor’s appointment for Lucy and her helmet (went so well!)… and then Home Depot sent their plumbing crew to the house to hook everything up. (I’m actually typing this as they’re working. I put on some music but it’s definitely a little awkward. 😂 Here’s the progress on the kitchen, btw!) In an hour, we’re also having a make-your-own pizza night with friends and their kids. Really fun!

Wanted to pop on this afternoon, though, to let you know that:

Anyway, Mitch’s parents are coming tomorrow and staying the night, so we’re really excited! It’s apparently going to be freezing (and we might get snow?!) so I’m envisioning a fun family dinner out somewhere with the girls and then a cozy evening back at the house. (In the kitchen, because the rest of the first floor is under construction, haha.)

These are the most fabulous alternatives to the original Gucci loafer. They’re so comfy, and they’re back in brown!

This fuzzy turtleneck is in my cart. You can never prepare for a Chicago winter too early. ;)

NOODLE SOCKS!

If you were bummed to miss out on the popular leopard dress from J.Crew Factory, Talbots just came out with this one and it’s nearly identical!

This is an absolutely gorgeous beret, and it looks so soft!

This is great to wear with faux leather or suede leggings.

In the style of the dress! Pair it with a sweater for ultimate warmth.

I LOVE THESE. They’re so soft. Basically structureless, yet so soft and comfy. Can’t recommend them more. Run TTS and come in a ton of colors.

I need these in my life! I can almost guarantee that you’ll be seeing them soon.

Are you into the beret thing?  If not, try it! It really makes an outfit!

Puffer season is upon us… at least here it is. :(

A favorite cashmere sweater.

This one, too. A great basic.

SO BEAUTIFUL.

One of my favorite tops. I definitely wear it once per week.

Favorite jeans on sale during Bloomingdale’s Friends & Family Sale.

The famous Patagonia vest is back! Go up one size.

Navy Bean Boots, great for warmer climates.

Flannel-lined boots, perfect for fall. Very warm.

ULTIMATE warmth! I wear these throughout Chicago winters and have no issues.

The Barbour Beadnell now comes in brown. Thoughts?

Are you ready for #60daysofplaid? To be honest, I’m not sure I am… haha

A corduroy duffle coat!

They’re on major sale!

This is one of my all-time favorite J.Crew coats, and you can still find it on eBay even though it’s long been out of stock. Here’s another one!

You can also find a ton of brand new Lady Day Coats.

Same with the iconic Andover Peacoat. I actually got mine from eBay!

Hudson’s High-Waisted Barbara Jeans (my faves) are on there, too.

The prices are insane compared to traditional retailers’ prices. Just know your size! They’re pretty consistent in terms of sizing.

This is a great pair of everyday jeans.

Oh, and I enjoy how much of J.Crew’s supersoft yarn products are on there.

This is my all-time favorite sweater of the year! SO SOFT. Side tucks into jeans perfectly.

STOP. This is such a great deal.
