My husband and I had our previous mattress for close to ten years and it was starting to show its age. You could see both of our body impressions permanently indented and we could literally roll into our spots because it had gotten so bad. But with our current home remodel going on, we put a new mattress purchase on the backburner. So I can not tell you how excited I was when I was contacted to try out and review a new Simmons Beautyrest Black Hybrid Mattress. Even though I was certain any new mattress would be an improvement, I was still a little nervous that it would be too soft or too firm so I sent my hubby over to our local Mattress Firm to check out the three different styles. We decided on the Wellington 15.8 Pillow Top style and are SO happy with our decision. I am a side sleeper so I toss and turn all night and sometimes wake up with sore hips and/or shoulders. This mattress feels like it molds to my body keeping my spine in perfect alignment. There was zero transition period and both my husband and I have slept better than we could have even imagined!

MATTRESS FEATURES:

The Simmons Beautyrest Black Hybrid Plus Wellington Plush Pillow Top Mattress features the Black Hybrid ICE HD™ Memory Foam. The high density memory foam is designed to help keep you cooler while you fall asleep. Beneath this layer is the Dynamic Response™ Memory Foam, which provides a unique feel and drives the superior responsiveness of the foam. The AirCool® Memory Foam offers uniform distribution of gel that promotes freedom of movement and a comfortable sleeping temperature throughout the night.

Oh, and I also wanted to mention that we had our mattress delivered NEXT DAY! They gave us a six  hour window when we placed the order but then we got a follow up call the next morning giving us a two hour window and then they called again when they were just ten minutes away! I was very happy with the level of customer service we received. From the gentleman at our local store who helped us decide which mattress to choose as well as the guys that delivered our mattress. I will warn you though…the mattress was very hard to carry up our stairs. I wasn’t aware that you have to request a special service to have the mattress installed so my hubby had to call a buddy over to help him get it up the stairs. Other than that…we are over the moon about our new mattress. Nighty night!

It’s hard to think about Fall fashion when most of us are just barely pulling out our swimsuits. But the fashion world is always one step ahead of us! Cabi just released five pieces from their Fashion Flash Fall 2017 collection. These hunter green zip skinnies are from the new collection and I have to tell ya…I’m obsessed. The zip detailing is so flattering and they are the perfect transition piece to go from Summer to Fall! They fit true to size and the stretchy material makes them extremely comfy! Be sure and stop by cabionline.com to get a sneak peek of the full Fall collection here.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Madewell makes THE best jeans. I’ve acquired about five pairs over the last few years and they are all in constant rotation. These high-rise button-ups are their newest style and they do not disappoint! But do note…I always size down one size since their jeans always have stretch to them! This outfit was just a last minute throw on look since I was in a hurry to get out the door. Sometimes all you need to do it pull out your tried and true basic faves and you can’t help but feel great. Who makes your favorite jeans? I’m always on the hunt for more!

Outfit Details: Target Tank, Madewell High-Rise Button-Through Skinnies, Vest (can’t remember for the life of me where I bought it!), 7 Charming Sisters Tassel Necklace (on sale for $7!), Madewell Bracelet, Dolce Vita Booties

I knew this dress would be a little skimpier than I like but I LOVED the print so much that I went ahead and bought it anyway. I can do short but short AND cleavage is a bit much. LOL. But at less than $20, I wasn’t too concerned about it. Now I have this one in my cart and can’t decide if I should pull the trigger! Help!

Outfit Details: Forever 21 Lemon Print Dress, Jcrew Sandals, Lulu’s Lemon Clutch (sold out), Spike Necklace (currently sold out) c/o Baublebar
