Madewell Fall Favorites

If you are looking for the perfect clothes for your fall wardrobe, you NEED to look at Madewell right now! I love Madewell’s clothes year-round but I feel like their fall clothes are always especially good. I love that you can wear them every fall and they’ll never go out of style.

Here are a couple of my favorite picks below!

Madewell Fall Favorites

First up is this beautiful mustard/scream sweater that is so perfect for fall! I am wearing a size small and love it so much. In these pictures, I paired it with THESE JEANS, THIS TOTE, and THESE SNEAKERS! Perfect fall wardrobe?! ✔️

Madewell Fall Favorites

I REFUSE to leave the house without wearing THIS QUILTED COAT! It is like being wrapped in a warm blanket. It’s my carpool UNIFORM! Find me in the carpool line ALWAYS in this coat! I am wearing an XS!

I shared THIS COAT on my Story this week and so many of you loved it soo much too! Isn’t it so cute? I am wearing a size XS! It’s supposed to fit more oversized and I love the look of this one. I love the herringbone pattern too! It is beyond perfect for layering too!

Last night, I paired it with THESE BLACK JEANS and loved it so much. Madewell also sent THESE SHOES but they came the day after I shot these pictures and feel like they would’ve made this outfit! If you’re looking for a great fall shoe, try those!

Madewell Fall Favorites

And for my final outfit, I am in LOVE with this QUILTED PACKABLE PUFFER JACKET! I wore it all day today and even wore it on my hike on Saturday! It is perfect for rainy days and if you go up a size, you could even layer a sweatshirt underneath it. Here, I paired THIS SHIRT with it and ooooh it’s a GOOD white tee! The tee is size small and the quilted jacket is XS!

That’s all for now! Thank you for all your love and support.

Backcountry Discount Code

With the colder temps coming on, I’ve been loving finding so many great warmer options that I can wear on Backcountry! Not only do they carry so many incredible brands like Patagonia, The North Face, Free People, etc. but they also have their own brand that has so many incredible products! This coat I am wearing is actually a Backcountry branded item and is the warmest thing! I layered it with this Free People thermal top underneath.

Everyday Madewell

Madewell Fall Favorites

Fall officially begins NEXT WEEK 🍁and I am so excited to share some of my favorite Madewell fall finds with you guys today. Madewell is always my go-to for perfect, on-trend pieces that I know I will love for years to come!

The other day on my Instagram Q&A, someone asked “If you could only shop at one place the rest of your life, where would you pick?” And I can honestly say I would probably pick Madewell! I always love their wide variety of options and look forward to seeing what they launch each season. Here are some of my favorite picks below!

Plus, their Insider Sale recently kicked off so it’s the perfect time to stock up for Fall!

My sister and I both LOVE this Bellaire Cardigan Sweater. It comes in two other colors (hi the blue?! 😍) and I am so excited to wear it over dresses this fall too before it gets too cold! I am wearing an XS above. I sized down but size accordingly depending on how you want it to fit!

Madewell Fall Favorites

If you’re a Cashmere lover, do me a favor and try this Cashmere Hoodie Sweater 🤩 It is so so soft and comfortable and I LOVE the hood! I want to wear this all winter long.

This Short-Sleeve Pintuck Top in Parisian Ditsy could’ve used a nice little iron job before taking these pics ( lol sorry mom 🤪) but I love the pintuck detailing up top and the fit! It is so perfect for different seasons too!

Madewell Fall Favorites

I walked into Madewell the other day and saw this Embroidered Half-Zip Sweater and KNEW I needed to have it. It has a cropped fit and I love the embroidered detailing so much. It comes in one other color!

Madewell Fall Favorites

Lastly is this Polo Sweater that comes in another pretty color and is a best-seller at Madewell! It would be darling styled so many different ways for fall. I love the idea of a skirt and boots with it too. I can’t wait to see how you guys style it!

Madewell Fall Favorites

And that’s it for now! Be sure to check out their New Fall Arrivals and Sale too! I will admit, I went into a Madewell today and stocked up on a couple more things I CANNOT wait to show you guys soon. So many cute things right now!

Thank you to Madewell for sponsoring this post!

Here are this week’s Weekend Links! I always have so much fun putting these together.

  1. I posted about this on Friday but I am loving these NEW BIRDIES! They are washable and soo comfortable.
  2. In honor of 9/11 today, I rented THIS MOVIE and cannot stop thinking about it. It is really hard to watch but I find it important to be well educated on the events that happeened so I cana even better
  3. Kasey Musgraves released a NEW ALBUM yesterday and I can’t stop listening to it.
  4. I bought THIS ICE ROLLER for my fafce to use in the morning (or anytime I’m stressed really) and love it so much. And that price?!
  5. I. had a collaboration with J.Crew this week and linked all of my current favorite finds HERE. They have so many perfect things for fall right now.
  6. I loooooved THIS PODCAST this week. Do you complain a lot? It can be so eaasy to complain all the time and not even realize it! I tried to do better this week and it makes such a big difference.
  7. MY DRESS from the pictures above is from The Stockplace! Isn’t it so cute? It’s my friends shop! They always have the cutest things.
  8. We started watching THIS SHOW (some language) and I amm soo intruiged to see what’s going to happen!
  9. I did a question box this week for laundry hampers and totally forgot to post some of the results! I will be sure to this week. I think THIS ONE is the winner for most people! So similar to THIS ONE (that I ordered in June and hasn’t come yet lol). I will let you know how I like it!
  10. Don’t forget thata everything I have recently purhccased or love is always linked RIGHT HERE. How cute are those clogs?!

The Art of Getting Dressed (J.Crew)

J.Crew New Fall Arrivals

I always love dressing for the different seasons. As a new season approaches, I always love looking to J.Crew for what new collections they have to help get me ready to dress appropriately for the season ahead.

This year, I have been so impressed with all of their beautiful cashmere pieces, boot selection, cardigans, denim options, and more. I am so excited to show you a couple of my favorites today!

I fell in love with this pink Puff-Sleeve Cardigan the second I saw it. It comes in three other beautiful colors and I’d be lying if I told you the Heather Ashen Grey isn’t currently in my cart… I can’t help myself! It’s just too good. I, of course, love this one paired with the pink ballet flats. I always look to J.Crew for the perfect ballet flat!

I am only wearing one pair of jeans throughout this blog post and they are these ones. They are a high-rise 90’s classic straight jean and I think they are beyond perfect for fall. I would suggest sizing down on these!

I came home from this photoshoot in this outfit and was tempted to sleep in it… I LOVED it all pieced together so much. I paired these jeans with this classic-fit ruffleneck shirt and put this cashmere crewneck sweater shell over it. Throw it all together with some penny loafers and this tortoise clip, and you have yourself an outfit you’ll never want to change out of! Whether you are going into a work meeting or just to get your soda fix at the gas station, you’ll feel chic as ever.

J.Crew New Fall Arrivals

Alright alright… It will be easier to just get in front of it here. This is just a heads-up that I WILL be in this grey long-sweater coat at least 4x per week until spring…. And that is at a minimum! I seriously love it soo much. Go look at the other color it comes in too!

J.Crew New Fall Arrivals

I have a feeling this half-zip sweater will be a favorite of a lot of yours this winter… It comes in four different colors and is maybe the softest, coziest sweater I’ve ever worn. I love the zipper detail and the relaxed fit.

I paired it with this skirt and these boots.

J.Crew New Fall Arrivals

Word on the street is that oversized trench coats are very IN so here I am just trying to fit in ☺️ I loved pairing this relaxed trench coat with these jeans and these boots. Finish off the relaxed look with this clip! Can we all just have a collective sigh of relief that alligator clips are in too? Easiest hairstyle ever!

J.Crew New Fall Arrivals

And for the final outift of the night, this cashmere pocket cardigan sweater paired with this merino wool wrap skirt is another combo I will not be over anytime soon… Both are so soft and I love the warmer tones for fall.

Shop all of the pieces from the post here:

Thank you, J.Crew for sponsoring this post! I hope you all find sommething you absolutely love!

Newport Beach 2021

I always love visitng Disneyland no matter the time of year! Our eldest is at the PERFECT age now (Our youngest is still a little too young to really enjoy all of it!) but we have fun riding the rides and escaping reality for the day… Nothing like that Disney magic!

The night before we left on the trip, I told our daughter to pack her own backpack with snacks and games and forgot to double check it before we got to the airport. When we got there I found her two dressups inside. I mean if that doesn’t melt your heart! 🥺❤️

That’s it for this year! Until next year, Newport! Feel free to comment your favorite Newport things! I’m sure a lot of you know way better than me! 🥰

  2. One of my other favorite brands is having a big sale this weekend. Here are my favorites: floral duffel bag, braided platform sandal, oversized tote, Daphne bow slide! I bought the floral duffel bag 🤩
  3. I get asked all of the time where my Cape sunglassess are from but they’ve been sold out in Pale Oak for forever. BUT I ordered THESE ONES in Pale Oak and love the style sooo much. They’re what I’ve been wearing this entire Newport trip.
  4. I have been binge listening to THIS PODCAST this week and wow (some language) but what an insane story. How do people feel like they are going to get away with stuff like this?!
  5. I also watched THIS MOVIE today. Cheesy but kept me entertained lol.
  6. I found THESE BOOTS at Nordstrom last week and LOVE their new colors. These were so hard to find last year and have a feeling they will be the “it” shoe again this year…
  7. I just finished reading THIS BOOK a couple of weeks ago and can’t stop thinking about it… (some language and violence) but wow. I couldn’t put it down!

  10. As a family, we can’t stop listening to THIS SOUNDTRACK. I honestly have trust issues with anyone who doesn’t love this musical… our daughter said today that she wants to be Elphoba for Halloween and I am UNWELL just thinking about it! I am crossing my fingers she still wants to be her when it comes around to it!

That’s all for now! I hope you all have the best rest of your weekend.
