Happy Friday my beautiful friends!

Last weekend, I wore this outfit twice out of the three days. Yes, I loved it that much! Though I did switch it up a bit both times. The first time I wore it to get my hair trimmed with a pair of Adidas that matched the color palette and then Sunday, I wore it as is for a coffee date. I just love the mix of textures here with the cozy waffle knit, coated jeans and the denim boots. This is my second look styling these denim boots. I have a feeling I'll be wearing them quite often this season. When I initially got them, I wasn't sure how often I'd wear them, but knew I had to have them because they're so unique. Fall fashion is all about mixing different patterns and textures to create a cozy, layered look. If you're not one to pattern mix, mixing textures can be just as creative, as it is practical in keeping warm.

My Current Skincare Routine

Happy Wednesday my sweet friends!

It's been close to a year since I've last shared my skincare routine and it's pretty much changed entirely, with the exception of my face wash. It's the same brand, just a different formula. I have to be honest and say that I was a bit inconsistent with my skincare routine during my last pregnancy because my main symptom was fatigue and I just wasn't in the mood to fuss around with a ton of bottles. When I was pregnant with Aviah, I didn't really experience any skin changes while pregnant, though immediately after she was born, I got a ton of new freckles on my face, which I was fine with. With my Ariah, I noticed that those same freckles darkened and my face looked dull. There was no "pregnancy glow." As I neared my due date, while the 'Sephora Spring Sale' was conveniently going on, I thought it was the perfect time to try some products specifically tailored to brightening the skin, but that were safe and clean to use while pregnant. I didn't experiment too much with anything new, only a handful. I shared a little haul in this post. I guess you can consider this post a somewhat follow-up to that one, since I'll be mentioning my thoughts on some of those products today.

Why You NEED a Pair of Statement Shoes

Happy Monday my beautiful friends!

It's no secret that these days, I'm all about simplifying the steps I take in getting myself ready and out the door, since now I have to get three of us ready. I always get ready last because I'm bound to get dirty otherwise. In doing so, I need pieces and methods that help getting dressed quick, while looking stylish and put together, which will make me feel and look more confident. Last week I shared an easy outfit formula I often use for getting ready in the fall. Today, it's all about the shoes and not just any kind of shoes, statement shoes!
