PS The herringbone puffer vest is back and in stock!
PPS I also think loafers are going to be huge this year. I love the way these look and you can’t go wrong with Bass.

a little bit of life, a little bit of style, and everything in between.
📌 Save this post! Can’t get over the MAGIC that is @backtonature.nj’s Christmas Market during the holidays! 🎄🌟🎅🏻🧣The decor this year is on a new level. If you need to get into the holiday spirit (or pick up speciality gifts or more decorations for your home), 100% recommend making the drive! It’s worth it ❄️
When you don’t actually feel cute but then kind of end up feeling cute because you put a bow in your hair, slipped into a dress that fits, and swiped on your favorite red lipstick 💋 @hillhouse @annmashburn 🎥 by @carterfish, maybe I’ll post the video without music so you can hear her hyping me up, because you can’t imagine the crowd the bore witness to the making of this Reel 🫣
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹

FROM THE ARCHIVES ❄️⛸️🌲some of my past favorite winter looks mostly because I miss real pants and being able to button my coats
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻

Do you prefer the 6" or 8" bean boots?
I want to snag some before they sell out even though I won't be able to wear them for quite some time down in Texas!
I agree about ordering now and putting away until cooler temps to avoid the dreaded back order until Feb 2015 or Sold out! Lol!! How do you find the Barbour coat fits? Debating if I should order true US size 6 or go up to 8. Thanks!
It depends on how much you're going to be layering. I prefer a looser fit and you can add more sweaters that way 😉
So sad that fall is coming, but you're right–I just looked at the calendar and realized I only have days left until I leave for school again. Crazy. Your suggestions for fall clothes are great. Riding boots are timeless! I too am feeling the loafers for this season. I actually have a pair from Sperry similar to the ones you linked to…they still look great after 4+ years of abuse from me.

I totally agree with these fall staples! I am obsessed with the fair isle sweater you showed in the picture! So cute. And I honestly have no idea where my wardrobe would be without riding boots, I am always wearing them in the fall.

Love these looks! This is exactly why I can't wait for fall (at least you're enjoying the heat of summer!!)

I am so beyond in love with bean boots and puffer vests! I wish I could afford the puffer vest from jcrew, but I'll probably have to wait for them to come back at Old Navy. Fingers crossed!
Beautiful outfits! I am so jealous of that Barbour coat. This makes me so pumped for fall- especially since I just got my herringbone vest in the mail last week. Wahoo!

Your fall looks make resent the eternal summer down here in Miami. I may just have to move back to NYC just for the season!

We have an endless summer in Hawaii. I'm sighing over your Fall outfits… Love your Fair Isle sweater over your oxford and Barbour coat, sigh…
Love your looks! Fall is definitely my favorite season. Today it was just cool enough to wear a long sleeved dress, and I jumped at the opportunity!

I always wish for the next season to come so I can wear all of the clothes and then I get bored with it. But I am currently looking forward to fall.

I absolutely love Fall – my most favorite season of all! I saw that vest last year at J.Crew and loved it. Funny about the Bean Boots because there was just a discussion post about them over at The Daily Prep the other day. Since they are functional staples, I really wouldn't worry too much about it though.
Every time I think your posts can't get any lazier, you make it happen. Props, Carly.
I totally agree Carrie! You should post less often so that you can provide higher quality posts when you do. A little constructive criticism never hurt anyone, Carly!
I saw a herringbone puffer vest look-alike at UNIQLO once. It was very thin, but very insulating. Because of the material (I forget what it was exactly), for me, as a high school student who didn't bring enough money that day, I thought it was too pricey, but now I really regret not getting it! Ahh I've been on a search for it ever since. Another thing I really liked about the material was that even if you got it dirty, you could wipe it right off–very low maintenance! UNIQLO still sells vests like that, but not in the same pattern. I mostly just see solid colors. Anyways, autumn is my favorite season ever! Love your cozy outfits 🙂 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
I love these looks, especially the bright orange jeans! Where are they from??
Amazing outfits!! This is a great start to the new fall season!!
