september basics

I have been doing lots of fall shopping. My ten year old suddenly had no clothes that fit!. Sadly, his stuff isn’t too interesting to me- all my boys want are shorts and sportswear!!

Found these unicorn leggings at Target for Brooke- they are too cute for such a good price.  And my favorite cardigans for her come from Lands End- so soft and sweet- Sophie.

My friend Heather introduced me to the Madewell slub v-neck tees and I am wearing mine daily. At this point of the year, I needed new ones so it was great to find a good fit- they run big, FYI.  I also love the Cotton Citizen tees that are sold locally at Solemates- the softest fabric and they wash great.

As for shoes- I bought these Andre Assous shoes when I was in Chicago and they feel like slippers.

My friend Susan from restyle design gave me the Lafco Ski House candle for my birthday. Love this smell and she told me that after she uses them, she cleans it out and uses as a makeup brush holder or organizer in her home. What a beautiful idea! And have you smelled Jo Malone’s new scent- Mimosa & Cardamom? I just added the candle to my guest room as we are very “booked” this October!

Speaking of books… Just started reading Come Away with Me, by Karma Brown. Karma is actually a friend of mine from my working days in Chicago. Totally excited for her to see her book getting amazing reviews! I am 20% in and in awe she wrote such a great book! I about fell over tonight when I was on my local library page and her book came up as a recommended book for me!!! Wow. Congrats, Karma!

I am also looking forward to JoJo Moyes new release – After You.

Looking forward to fall arriving in Colorado…
