I’m not going to lie… I miss Florida winters. Aka, I miss not having a winter. It’s still fall here and I’m already freezing. Not okay. This weekend started off pretty wonderful actually. Dresses and skirts sans tights were totally good-to-go. And then the temperatures dropped. I’ve broken out all of my sweaters officially and started collecting a few new favorites for the year.
I wore it on Monday because I was so cold and a fair isle sweater was all I wanted to wear. After playing with Teddy all weekend and not getting any kind of work done, I stormed through Monday morning full steam ahead. But I started to seriously “crash” mid-afternoon. The time change really got to me this year for some reason!! Even after a healthy lunch, I think my blood sugar was just so low. Super cranky, super irritated. Crepes with Mackenzie seemed like the best option. And it was.
A lobster sweater and a Nutella crepe. Yep, good day.
Your sweater is adorable and so perfect for winter! I'm still on the hunt for my perfect fair isle sweater but your post has given me new ideas of where to look!
I love this sweater. Seriously I find myself only wanting to wear sweaters and oxfords and I don't have enough of either. This one is just too cute with the Lobsters. Where is your coat from?
Great sweater, I love funky sweaters that have crazy patterns. I have this one sweater from J Crew that is super "ugly" because it has this crazy patten on it but it's so warm and I love the personality it adds to an outfit! -Alex http://www.monstermisa.blogspot.com/
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!! 🥹
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 🙏🏻

That sweater is perfection! And you aren't missing anything in Tampa, it is still so hot. We can even wear long sleeves or boots yet!

This sweater is adorable! My favorite sweater lately is an old Pendleton of my dad's. It's perfectly oversize and so cozy!

It's a one of a kind that's for sure 🙂 No way I could even begin to spend the $145 for it.
I love this sweater. Seriously I find myself only wanting to wear sweaters and oxfords and I don't have enough of either. This one is just too cute with the Lobsters. Where is your coat from?

What a great sweater!! It takes something that you would think to be more summer(y) and brings it right into fall.
Love it!

I have a tartan sweater I got from Brooks Brothers that has Lobsters and anchors on it. It was definitely a great investment.
