I wore these shoes (in a different color) in one of my Crocs videos that we shot in CO earlier this year (you can see them all here). They were one of my faves because they look like a ballet flat but have a fun “sporty” look to them. Perfect for running errands when you want to look cute but feel comfy. I actually wore them this weekend for Eep’s 3rd birthday party. We just had immediate family over and will be having another little playdate party with his besties tomorrow. I can’t believe he is THREE. I also wanted to thank you guys again for your emails and comments regarding our transition into preschool. I read every one of them and appreciate SO much that you guys took the time to respond. I am still staying in his classroom but am now able to leave during playground time. Baby steps.

I am SO excited to be participating in the Ross Dress for Less Fall Trend Hunter Challenge! Five bloggers were selected to style three head to toe looks (each $100 or less) showcasing three of Falls hottest trends. First up is the black & white trend.

We are not allowed to share brand names but let me just say that I was SUPER excited to find this dress. It originally retailed for over $150+ and I got it for $44.99. I love the raglan/baseball tee sleeves with the zipper detailing at the neckline. And I can promise you that you are going to be seeing these heels on repeat on the blog. They are a STEAL at only $12.99!!! And that crossbody bag…$21.99. This head to toe look came in at under $80!

Be sure and visit the Ross Dress for Less Facebook page (after 9am PST) to check out how the other lovely ladies wore the black & white trend. I know I can’t wait to see! Oh, and while you’re there, I’d LOVE your vote if you like my look! I’ve got some seriously tough competition but would totally love to be crowned the ultimate trend hunter! Ok, we won’t really get a crown but some major bragging rights for sure. PLUS…by voting you will be entered to win a $100 Ross gift card (three winners each week)!

This was my fave look from the Justfab challenge. It looks like a dress but it’s actually a shirt/skirt combo. I’m obsessed with this top…it is so flattering on and I just love the mod colorblock print. And this skirt is one of my fave purchases this year. The booties are just the cherry on top!

A few weeks ago, Justfab invited me to participate in a style challenge with two other bloggers. We were each asked to style the same booties three ways. This was one of my looks. I was a little worried it would be too plain but sometimes I think less is more. A simple juxtaposition of edgy & feminine for the win! But the real winner here will be one of you guys! All you have to do is visit the Justfab Facebook page & vote for your favorite look to be entered to win a $200 Justfab gift card! Thanks so much for reading and good luck!

One of my fave trends for Fall is LEATHER. I never would have thought that leather would be such a staple in my closet. I’ve already purchased four of the pieces above and am seriously contemplating grabbing a few more! I’m loving all of the fun colors this season too. What trend are you most looking forward to?
