High Five For Friday

1.  Baby Shower went great last weekend and all the preparation paid off! It was great seeing some friends and family I hadn't seen in a while.

2. Josh and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary with a Lilly-free picnic! Something I had been wanting to do just the two of us for like the entire 2 years we've been married...ha :)

3. I had a much needed shopping day with my momma this week and she got me some fabulous pieces that I won't be seeing until Christmas ;)

4. I started planning and shopping for Christmas gifts in August...yes, August! I start that early in order to plan out what we're getting, budgeting the items in and planning out purchasing those items. Our immediate family is almost done, just need a few more things, and now we can focus on Lilly's gifts and little gifts for each other. 

5. My husband and I have challenged each other to drink 1 gallon of water a day for an undetermined amount of time. I primarily drink water on a daily basis, but I definitely don't drink enough water during the day. We literally started yesterday and it's a little difficult to constantly remind yourself to drink, drink, drink. But just drinking yesterday, we could already feel a difference in our energy level. Can't wait to continue!

Trendy Tot Tuesday: Toddler Pre-Fall Shopping Haul

So this weekend I stumbled into Target while my husband went to a sporting goods store nearby and came across a whole table display of $4 and $5 everything (originally $6 and $7 I think)! These items are so cute and I just couldn't pass these styles up going into the fall and Lilly already growing out of 12 month items. I snatched up a variety of graphic t's and leggings, a pair of herringbone jeans, and a couple of cute fall tops with bows on them for her and walked away spending less then $50 with a coupon and my 5% discount.  SCORE!

Be sure to link up your trendy tot with Kelly, Megan, and Aliya!

Weekend Shopping Haul

So Friday night I scored some awesome pieces for me and Lilly from Old Navy that are going to be great pieces for the fall. Almost everything was on sale in the store so there were so many things I wanted but had to restrain from haha :)

So I scored a pair of polka dot sneakers which are so cute and comfy, an army green jacket to replace my old one that was too small, and a pair of drawstring printed ankle pants that feel like dressy pajamas...I can't wait to wear them!

For Lilly I scored a matching jacket, a cute t-shirt and a printed romper for next spring/summer. 

So I would say it was a nice, successful shopping haul and the best part I got all of this for way less then $100! Score for me :) 

What are some things you picked up this weekend? 

Fall Trend to Try: Graphic Sweater

  This is definitely one of my favorite trends this season. From animal motifs to fun words and phrases to symbols, graphic sweaters are everywhere right now from high end designers to more affordable retailers like Old Navy. I think they are so adorable and are a great update this season to a classic crew neck sweater. A fun graphic is full of personality and style and can be worn almost anywhere.  

What I love about a cute graphic sweater is that the classic style allows you to really wear it so many different ways that reflect your personality and style. Whether you pair it with a flouncy skirt and boots or skinny jeans and a button down layered underneath, you'll be sure to look polished and fabulous. 

You can find some of my favorites at these retailers:

Old Navy

Kohls

And don't forget about your little munchkin! There are fabulous options for her to be just as fashionable and stylish as mommy too.
