Good morning. I was sitting outside early this morning reading my book and could feel a touch of fall in the air. It’s still going to be toasty today but it was nice to have an inkling that fall is actually around the corner. Bring on cozy sweaters and football season.
SOFTER THAN SOFT
I’ve started to gravitate towards wide legged pants, even for my workouts. Just so much more comfortable. These are a dream. And this color is so beautiful. I am a Vuori girl through and through and this set is great. The quality is unmatched and I’ve been wearing my Vuori pieces for years.
Have you ever felt these t-shirts? Velvety soft. Ryan LOVES these. They really do feel amazing.
I adore this set! I am taking it to ND with me. It’s so comfy and cute. And the shorts aren’t too low in the back at the waist which I love. It’s currently 30% off.
Here is a look at the set on me. I am in the small.
Clearly smitten with green right now. I love these. Would be so pretty with an ivory sweater for fall.
This remains one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. Love this button down so much. It’s shorter than most so it’s best with high rise pants. Incredibly soft, feminine and I love the neck line. And this handbag is one I carry pretty much daily. (Amazon version).
COZY FOR FALL
This button down is so pretty and cozy for fall. A favorite brand of mine (currently on sale).
NEW AT HOME
I wish I could convey how much these drapery panels changed this space. Prior to these, we had blinds on the windows. The windows are floor to ceiling and this view is our neighbor’s house. Never made sense to me. It took my five years to finally come up with a good solution. Two designers suggested pretty roman shades but that never sat right with me because they would always be down.
This has been a game changer. Not only is the view blocked, but all of the pretty light still comes in. It warmed up the room so much. If you have a tricky spot where you don’t love the view but want the light, definitely consider this. And the price on these panels is INCREDIBLE.
The side panels are the blackout panels I used on the other side of the room (color is natural). The middle ones are these. This was on a cloudy day so I’ll have to share when the light is streaming in. It makes me so happy to get the natural light but still have privacy. Highly recommend. And just noticed they are on sale (envious). My color in the middle is natural.
*It’s a bit confusing because both colors are natural but they are different products. This is the rod we used.
The rug we used in this room is more than 60% off right now. Velvety soft and beautiful colors.
We’ve also been using these so much. We have one on in the family room in the evening so we can turn overhead lights off. I also have one on my screened in porch.
DORM READY
Riley will be sharing a dorm room again this year (that is how Notre Dame does it). The girls decided on these chairs as they have a bit of space under a window for seating. They are great for the price. Just be sure to use a drill and not the Allen wrench. My husband breaks off the Allen wrench and uses it as the drill bit. Genius.
We already had the blue pillows but these are similar. We also had the table which can be found here. I’m all about making the dorm cozy but try to use things we already have.
Riley picked out this poster and I love it. Such a great vibe.
And we stocked her up with plenty of these. They are the best pens ever. I write with them all day long. She once borrowed one of mine and has never looked back! A great thing to add in a care package if you have a student away at school. You’ll want them, too!
Do you spy her water bottle tipped over in this bag. It’s been the best selling item lately. And for good reason. She can toss it anywhere and not worry about it leaking. Really key for students putting water bottles in bags with laptops. I’ve heard some horror stories about that.
This jelly tote was a win for sure. She used it every day of summer for the beach or pool and also took it to yoga. She truly loves this bag. A great gift idea (lots of cute colors). They also have the mini that can be used as a stadium bag for football games and concerts.
WAYFAIR LABOR DAY CLEARANCE
So many pieces we have in our home are from Wayfair. Today kicks off the big Labor Day Clearance (up to 70% off and free shipping over $35).
This bed has incredible reviews and is right around $400! Our beloved Tilly bed looks so similar. I love how high the headboard is. That is something I look for and why we love this one so much.
Need a flush mount light? This one has such a pretty coastal vibe. Very Serena & Lily like. And it’s on sale for $99! Nearly perfect reviews which is really great to see.
If you are looking for a sideboard, absolutely snatch this up! It’s on sale for $322! What? It looks like a million bucks in my sister’s home. She just swapped the hardware.
Texture and shape. That is what I look at in a vase. This one is FANTASTIC. A really good price and adds so much interests. It looks designer. I would add these fall stems to it (currently on sale).
HUGE MONEY SAVER
I often joke that I live under a rock and this is a great example. I had no idea this existed and is so good. There are no harsh chemicals or smells and it’s a breeze to use. My grays come in so quickly and I just don’t want to be spending the money to go more frequently to my stylist (she is amazing, by the way). This is $20 and so simple. It works really well and now I can extend the time in between my appointments. I just ordered another one as I am due to touch up my roots next week. Truly would have been using this before had I known about it.
HATCH FOR BABY
I’ve shared about my Hatch many times. It’s been WONDERFUL for calmly waking up each morning (mimics the sunrise) and I am able to leave my phone in the bathroom. I love it so much I want to take it with us when we travel. I just didn’t realize they have the Hatch Baby. A friend of mine just gifted it to her daughter (expecting their first baby) and I though that was so thoughtful. It not only plays soothing sounds, stories and music but you can record your own message to play. There are also time-for-bed and time-to-rise cues. For babies out of cribs, you can set a green light to come on at a certain time in the morning. So they know when it’s morning and time to get out of bed. Tech has sure come a long way since I had babies!
Craving a fall getaway? September and October are our favorite months on 30A. The water is still warm but crowds have dissipated. We would love to host you.
Keeping it short and sweet today as we have some packing to do. Wishing you a great weekend. Thank you for stopping in.
In case you missed it, I talked about the origin of the rainbow cake tradition and love hearing the traditions you all hold dear. Read the post here.
