Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Jurassic Park crew! I am so excited for Sawyer’s first halloween! I mean how cute is my little tyranno-Sawyer Rex?! It was so hard to decide on what to be for our first family costume and then saw this idea on Pinterest and ran with it! I knew I wanted to have the wagon we would take Sawyer trick or treating in be apart of the costume and knew he would make the cutest little Dino.  Also our costumes were super easy! Griffin already had everything besides the hat and I scored my shirt and shorts at Goodwill! I found Sawyer’s adorable costume from Pottery Barn. Griffin created the electric fence out of PVC pipe and then we painted it with non toxic paint. I took black poster board and made the sides of the wagon and then printed the Jurassic Park out on vinyl with my Cricut. We added the finishing touches with some free printable signs I found on Pinterest. Are any of you dressing up tonight?! I hope every one has a happy Halloween! <3

Color Crush: Black & Orange

Happy Hump Day babes! Since Halloween is tomorrow I thought I would up the Halloween spirit and do a little color crush Halloween style! Ya’ll I am swooning over this leather mini skirt! The pockets are so cute and I love any button up skirt! I have been loving the over sized sweater trend and I just got this one and I am in love! The color is so fun! I have been eyeing the classic high top converses for a while. I love how they give a casual outfit the perfect throw back feel! If you are looking for something a little more dressy this sparkly back midi dress is gorgeous and perfect for the holidays! I hope you all have an awesome Wednesday! <3

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Ours was extra special because Sawyer got baptized yesterday! It was a beautiful ceremony and had a fun get together after with family and friends. We have a super busy but fun week ahead with a little staycation starting tomorrow, then Halloween, and then one of my good friends wedding! We are going to be exhausted but I can’t wait! Today I am going black and white with this adorable spotted midi skirt! I have been loving midi skirts lately! I love that you can dress them up or down and a good printed one really makes a statement! I paired my spotted midi with an adorable black sweater. The zig-zag neckline is so fun! I finished the look off with some ankle booties and sunnies. I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Happy Thursday babes! Today is our Friday so I cannot wait to get this weekend started! I am coming at you with some more adorable Sawyer pumpkin Patch pictures because they were too cute not to share! I actually made his romper on my cricut and I love how it came out! I have always been a huge Halloween fan (nothing better than a classic horror movie!) so when I saw a similar shirt I knew I needed to make it into a romper for Sawyer for Halloween! I found the romper for under $11 on Amazon and his little leather moccs for under $14 on Amazon as well! Such a steal! I hope you all have an awesome weekend! <3

I have been loving all the fall trends this year and I love even more those trends are extending to bags! Like snakeskin! I have been drooling over all the snakeskin boots and booties this year and I am DYING over this gorgeous snakeskin bag! The color is just so gorgeous! Also I love a good suede bag for fall and this egg plant color is so beautiful! Lastly, metallics! With the holidays right around the corner you cannot go wrong with a metallic! This sliver bag would go with everything and make any outfit sparkle! I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! <3

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We took it easy on Saturday and did some pumpkin carving with Sawyer and then Sunday ventured out to Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival for lots of yummy food and drinks! I wore this outfit Saturday and it was perfect for the warm but breezy weather we had this weekend. Ya’ll I cannot get enough of these boots! They are like instant badass status and they are super comfortable! I love how cute they look with this leopard dress I scored for $20 at Target! Of course it isn’t online but I linked a similar one! I accessorized with a black hat and favorite sunglasses. I hope you have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Halloween Look Back

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles talks about last minute and DIY halloween costume ideas and a cute maternity costume idea

//post//

Happy Friday Eve babes! We are almost to the weekend! Halloween has always been one of my favorite holiday’s! I basically have horror movies on repeat all of October and I just love coming up with fun costumes! This year is extra special with Sawyer and I can’t wait to see what we dress up as this year! I wanted to take a look back at some of my costumes from previous years which are all perfect last minute and DIY costumes! One of my all time favorites was definitely this dead fashionista costume! This was SO last minute and I just decided to go to Goodwill to get inspired and found this dress for $6! I decided to do some ghostly makeup and then spray painted this flower headband from my sugar skull costume and voila! Super simple costume for $6! You can’t beat that! My other favorite costume was of course last year when I was a disco ball with my bump! This was another DIY! I just found some silver sequin stretchy fabric and sewed it together to make a tube dress then accessorized with a white headband and white boots to make it super 70’s! Are you all dressing up with year?! <3

Must Have Fall Accessories

Happy Hump Day loves! One of my favorite parts of fall fashion has got to be the fall accessories! You all know how much I love my hats and I have to hold myself back every year from buying too many! Although this one is super classic and would go with everything without breaking the bank! Also I am kind of loving the beret trend and this one is giving me all the Blair Waldorf vibes! Another thing I always have to hold myself back on is a good jacket, especially living in Florida. I LOVE an amazing suede jacket and this tan moto is so good! I don’t think you can ever have too many cardigans! This color block one is so pretty and definitely screams fall! I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! <3

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine went by way too fast! Saturday I went to one of my best friend’s bridal shower and then Sunday we took Sawyer to the pumpkin patch and had way too much! My parents, Griffin’s parents and grandma, and my brother’s family all went so it was definitely a fun family outing! How stinking cute is he in his little corduroy overalls?! The weather was beautiful and we even got to take him on his first hay ride! I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3
